Since the popularity of "The Devil Wears Prada", books of the 20-something genre have come on full-steam. One of the best I've read lately was "A Total Waste of Makeup". Unfortunately, this is a book that has been completely overlooked, but is definitely guaranteed to keep you laughing.
The story finds the main character right before her 30 birthday, single and working as an assistant to a movie star. She has issues over her singlehood, and has had some torturous dates that never moved on to anything more. She also has a quite eccentric family, who's escapades create a lot of undue stress in her already hectic.
One of the best parts of this book is how the author so distinctly hits home how the character really feels about her situation in life. It's so humorous, but at the same time is so true to how so many young single girls feel after going on date after date that leads to noewhere. There are also times when this book has a deeper layer and really makes you think.
If you're a girl in your twenties to thirties, I guarantee there will be parts of this book that you can relate perfectly to. It will also make you think, smile, and at times laugh your head off. It's an easy and fast book to read, and is definitely hard to put down! Check it out!

Your Reality Show Update
Did you miss your favorite reality shows this last week? Have no fear, we've got all the juicy details from The Hills and Girls Next Door!
This past Sunday at 10pm we followed Hef's girlfriends as they visted the Renaissance fair. Holly, Kendra, and Hef decided to take a trip to the fair to appease Bridget and her love for themed events. Before the fair, the girls and Hef recieved a visit from a costume shop to pick out their themed costumes for the fair. Additionally, they brought in an "Elizabethan language specialist" to teach the girls how people spoke back then. Hef was crowned "The King" of the Renaissance fair, which he and the audience got a kick out of. Bridget learned to belly dance at the fair, and to the dismay of the queen, Kendra used one of the dirty words she learned from the language specialist. At the end of the day, more excitement ensued as they took their huge private bus back to the mansion. Another successful day for Hef and the girls!
Rating: Two Busch Lights out of Five. Although I love Girls Next Door, I found this episode to be one of the least exciting, probably just because of my lack of enthusiasm in the pettiness of hiring an "Elizabethan language specialist." It seemed a bit much. Despite that fact, I will definately be watching next weeks episode!
Oh, The Hills. What is not to love about the feuding Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, and Spencer Pratt? Although Spencer's website "Feel free to hate on me daily" is supposed to be a bit ironic, in my opinion, it is definately the correct title for his blog. I can't help but feel bad for Heidi, with her so-called fiance on top of US Weekly and the article claiming that he possibly hooked up with her to gain fame. Regardless, last weeks episode was packed full of drama, like usual. Heidi took Spencer to meet her parents for the first time to Colorado. It was hard to tell what her family thought of Spencer, but they definately had a lot of questions to ask about Lauren. Heidi, of course, did not want to speak about her. Her parents were understandably worried about their daughter's lost friendship with her one time best friend. Next weeks episode has a lot of promise, where Spencer supposedly "breaks up" with his friend Brody Jenner for hanging out with his "nemesis" Lauren Conrad. Sounds like a great episode to me!
Rating: 4 Busch Lights out of 5. Episodes like this make me want to buy Season 3 on DVD!
