Sway's Weekend Music Pick: "Awake" by B.R.M.C.

What Will You Look Like in 20 Years?

The following was mailed to me today in a newsletter I subscribe to and it piqued my interest so much that I had to stop what I was doing and check it out.

If you go to the website In20years.com and upload a recent photo of yourself, it will show you what you're going to look like after you've aged 20, or even 30, years. And so I ask you, my friend -- do you want to know the truth? Do you really? Do you?!?! You can't handle the truth!!!

Actually, I was terrified and didn't think I was going to be able to handle the truth either, but miraculously, the results didn't send me crawling back under the covers with a box of tissues. I thought, "Eh. I'll take that."

So try it. Maybe you'll look stunning in 20 years, who knows. (As you can see above, Megan Fox was barely phased.)

Only one way to find out!


And because I know you want to know ... let's age Megan 30 years instead and see how that works out for her.

The Real Estalker

I just discovered the site The Real Estalker, and it's fascinating. For example, it uncovered a listing for Uma Thurman's five-floor New York City townhome, listed for $14.2 million.

If I had the cash lying around, I'd take it, what about you?

Two music picks in one day!

Sway's Weekend Music Pick: "Something Good Can Work" by Two Door Cinema Club

I missed last week, so to make up for it, here's two back-to-back music picks. Party on. ;)

Waving Goodbye, Saying Hello

I've been putting off writing this post for, well, about two weeks now, because I think I keep believing that if I don't say it, it isn't really true.

But the truth is, next Tuesday is my last day working full-time with the magazine. A handful of corporate positions, mine included, are being relocated to one of the magazine's coastal markets. And as my boyfriend and I agree that we don't want to leave Phoenix at this time, I won't be making the move with the company.

While this has been an incredibly demanding full-time job for the past two years, and I've often joked that it's the "best worst" job I've ever had, I have to say it makes me very sad to think about now being forced to abandon a department I worked so hard the past few years to build up into something awesome. Not to mention, I'll miss the people I worked so closely with. I definitely saw them more than my family over the past years, and maybe that's why they feel like family to me.

So since January, I've been looking for a new full-time job, but I'm afraid I've turned up empty-handed. I was offered a position in March, but the company wasn't a great fit for me, and after much thought, I had to decline. And so now, it would seem I'm going solo for a while.

The good news out of all of this? I'm actually going to be able to write full-time!!! And I'm really, really excited about that. As of right now, I already have one major client, but I'm hoping that with more time to devote to marketing myself, I'll be able to acquire more. And of course, the magazine will continue to send me out on assignments and pay me as a contractor for this and that.

As of Wednesday next week, it looks like my new title will be "Go-Getter." Or "Workhorse." It's too soon to tell.

Vogel10 for May

I know I owe the blogosphere a real, actual update - which I promise to get to by the end of tomorrow - however ...

May's Vogel10 collection was just released and it looked so fun, I had to share right away.

See it here!
