Woot! My FAVS LIST 2.0 !!

Hi guys!! My previous blog on Favorites of the Week was a success! So I'm excited to continue with the 2nd List of favorites and I have so many this week too....so let us begin (us because you are on this journey with moi) Bullets please:

ITS THE FUTURE!! ITS TECHNOLOGY -TOM GREEN

  • Periscope, Periscope, Periscope: This is an app that is a baby, not even crawling yet, but has taken off like a rocket! I found this through Twitter (of course) Their twitter handle is: @pericopesco . So this is what I suggest you do , download the app Periscope, then follow me : +latinabug nj . You guys I did my first stream today!! All about anouncing our first #bitcheswhobrunch event at the Rainbow Room!!! NEW YORK CITY here we come! If you would like to join us kindly send me a tweet +latinabug nj or leave me a commment.
  • Speaking of Periscope: Tom Green, Tom Green, Tom Green. OMG. He started Periscoping yesterday morning live from San Francisco streets, and from there he went to Periscopes headquarters took us on a live tour. Then we got disconnected and then he resurfaced again on Periscope this time before his comedy show he took us on a walk where he decided to hide in a large box on the side of the road in Downtown SF, and we were live the whole time!! Follow Tom @tomgreenlive on Twitter. He was our "Scoper" of the day. Amazing and Insane. Not to mention an 80s Icon.
  • Update on @bwbnj : did my first Periscope about our first brunch, no worries we will have more, but I think it is just the best place in the whole wide world to start : Rainbow Room NYC. Wow. Google it, Yelp it, let me know you are in....
  • Forgot to mention, @andy from BravoTV broadcasted his first Periscope from a taxi cab ride in NY. I typed : do you see our emojis, and he read mine, and said yes! I was excited as a teenage girl (well this is usually my state of mind anyway) So many things happened yesterday , and everyone that was broadcasting live read what I typed. Even +jennyhutt was live on her treadmill, and she was so kind and read what I asked.: are you still in touch w/ Alexa? (Thats Martha Stewarts daughter) she responded ehhhh no. And other responses. BTW just in case you didnt know- Periscope was purchased by Twitter - yea so Meerkat who?
  • Facts: 351 days since Periscope's first tweet, currently available in 587 languages(No wonder I cant understand anyone who follows me)  / current famous users: CNN/ADWEEK/TIME & JUSTIN BIEBER

    YES I AM THE KING OF PERISCOPE

POD-CASTING-BINGE-ING-TRAIN-ING...

#bbhmm (Bitch Better Have my $$ come May 2nd)
May 2nd, May 2nd, May 2nd! We are counting down, gotta get my gear , It's #maypac time ! Meaning the super-bowl of boxing : Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pac . I typed Pac cause I'm not sure how to spell his last name and I'm not rooting for him anyway. So, that said, I am pumped training, get 3 days of weight training or "burn" as the NYSC calls it. Let me tell you that it is tough to do these "burn" classes back to back. Hard on your body of course, yesterday and today, and wow tomorrow will be the toughest. And hurts the most. But no pain , no gain!
Today during class , I was so tired , I was pushing myself so hard, that I actually got the case of the giggles. Yep, I was trying so hard not to laugh, and look like a crazy person doing the "nifty 50" and cracking up. So I immediately shifted my gear to depressing thoughts, while I was working out! Insane, anyway what is insane is that tomorrows trainer has us press our bodies against the wall, which is actually a mirror, and stand there for a full minute, in a squat position. With my fat ass , that mirror is bound to crack. This trainer is intense, non stop and I sweat like a pig. Its gross, but I'm sure it works for other ppl.
Favorite thing to do now: PODCAST BINGE BITCHES. Yep, trying to catch up w/ +helloross Podcast: Straight Talk. Currently on Episode 16 , not bad. Aggggh I'm trying to catch up so bad because he is on Ep 22. Speaking of all things audio: I am actually going to download +bethenny Frankels new book. You know Bethenny from the franchise RealHousewives of New York or #rhony for short. It just started this Tuesday minus Jill Zarin and KKB (short for Kelly Kaloric Bensimon) . I'm reading Kellys book now, and I recommend it. OK got side tracked there, what I was meaning to tell my lovely audience, is that ***drumroll please*** I will be listening to Bethennys book in audio format . Yes you read that right, this is 8 hours of Bethenneys voice , I am just hoping it is not in yapping format. Please, please, but will let you guys know what I think.
Still have Patti Stanger Podcast to listen to , and my wonderful Divas & blogger , Fashion darlings @tomandlorenzo from the Tom & Lorenzo blog.www.tomandlorenzo.com - Highly recommend their book too "Everyone Wants to Be Me or Do Me"
Let move over to Binge-ing shall we. Favorites this week: Bullets please>

  • Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
  • Mad Men of course final Season 7
  • I'm starting "Game of Thrones" this week - Gulp
  • And YES nurse Jackie is coming back (Showtime) and Silicon Valley!! ( +HBOGo )
    Recommended reading!!!

HARD WORK - DEDICATION!! #TMT WEEK

Bow down b!tches- we Flawless 
WEW - this has been a week of discipline- hard work and dedication! And I feel super strong after watching night after night of Mr. Floyd Mayweather Jr. - yes the Fabulous boxer with swagger. I have always been a huge fan of boxing. Yep, ever since the 80's , but Floyd is in a category of himself, he is amazing. I happened to come across him while watching Access Hollywood. The lady that was interviewing him whipped out a pic with all his collection of cars. He looks at it and starts from left to right naming each one: Bugatti/ Ferrai Spider/ Porsche/ etc. LMAO, and then he has built a "lifestyle" called "The Money Maker" aka. #tmt. You may see me tweet this week w/ #tmt. He is completely brutal , and as quoted "has tunnel vision" when he is on the ring. The man is FOCUSED.
That and he has baby mommas, chefs, drivers, masseuses.... Floyd hire me.
Anyway, he really inspired me today because right in the corner of my gym room there was the punching bag, every-time I got wobbly I stared at that. And its all in your mind, I bounced back and was doing bur-pees, hammer curls, dang !
Oh and tomorrow I am going to the gym again, just cause Floyd says he works out 4 times a day.
To all fellow bloggers and tweeps, do you vine???
Please tell me you do.... there is this new ummm what should I call him Viner? I highly recommend you follow if you are in a crabby mood or just want to lol >>>> +Nicholasmegalis . He is a riot. And for all ages. I discovered him on Fox 5 this a.m. and he has a book out titled "Mega Weird" . Ummm ya think?
Download the Vine app, no you are not too old. You are only old when you give up!
Remember : Hard work - dedication!
Now like +Iyanla Vanzant says: GO DO THE WORK
XO +latinabug nj

OF FAV. OF THE WEEK!!...

What my face looks like while I binge watch EVERYTHING
oooooH So excited to post this week. Had blogger block - anyone experience that before? not me! Because there are infinite things to write about. Lucky me , I write my blog on Fridays, so there are tons of cooky things that happen in the Twitter, Bloglovin, Pinterest, Netflix and now Hulu World. For starters shout out to my BFF Sandy in FL , that now is terrified to read my posts, hmmmm I wonder why.
I'm quite in a hurry as I write this because by 12 noon I turn into a pumpkin , meaning have to p/u my son from school, ughhhh BECAUSE ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING WE HAVE SNOW, and no that was not a typo!!!!
Ok , to more positive things , other than the weather
Bullets please>

  • So, Empire !!! Finale was amazing, not to mention that we all collectively must have gained 5 lbs w/ snacks alone, with a 2 hour finale! Don't forget to download their soundtrack from I-tunes. I love every song. 
  • Download the Mango app- to learn any language on the planet! its awesome, you can go to your local library and they can give you the code to get you started. I am studying French. And its hard. But being that I studied it at the Aliance Francais over seas I have or know the basics.
  • My new guilty pleasure psssst Hulu: and whats even dirtier (come closer) is the #KUWTK (gulp, yes that means, Keeping up with the Kardashians and take a shower (30 showers) after watching each episode. You can see the "transition" Bruce is going through. Especially when his daughters request that he cut off his ponytail and he refused. HMMMMM. There is a reason after all that they are paying this family $80 million dollars over the next 3 years, I'm just trying to figure out why. Ehem ergo the research
  • Speaking of Binge Watching make sure you catch the whole new series of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt- it will make you feel bubbly and fuzzy and keep your spirit high because Kimmy is so positive (she looks like my smiley face on top)
  • Also PODCAST GALORE!! Currently shout out to +helloross !!! It took me a while to find this because the title to his Podcast is : "Straight talk with Ross Mathews" now how the heck was I going to find that.? But I did and I am on episode 3 of gulp 19 
  • And last but not least on my podcast list: Patti Stanger's - Love & Sex Report !! Cant wait to listen
  • ok enough with the bullets, wishing you guys a very happy weekend, have fun relax, and binge watch!

OF FASHION POLICE AND QUITTERS ...

I hate all these b!tches that can't be loyal-in my mind what Joan is thinking
So here we go again...My previous to last blog was exactly about Fashion Police and since it was in Spanish completely you probably needed Google translator or the like , unless you are fluent. In that case you are all caught up if not , let me update you. A few weeks ago I was all wrapped up in the frenzy that was #nyfw and of course all the Awards, Oscars and Golden Globes . So of course I proceeded to watch Fashion Police. Because as my hairstylist says "you are a fashionista" - who knew? awww flattering! Anyway, I was watching and live tweeting when Giuliana made the weed/patchouli comment ( I never now how to spell this). I really didn't think anything of it, in all sincerity there were worse things said in the past by Joan where my jaw literally fell to the floor and shook my head, and laughed sure. But to bring you up to speed it turns out Guliana made this comment of Zendaya and this is / was Kelly bff. So she(Kelly) resigned , or quit or was fired. Who cares. and who knows.
However, my question about integrity and this happened last nite folks , was and is with Kathy Griffin. You see when Joan passed she was there through all the interviews, crying and then honored and overwhelmed that she would take over E! Fashion Police as "The host" . I did tune in and Kathy was just OK, I thought Brad with his outrageous graphic suits and diva attitude took over. And Guliana and Kelly were just ok too.
Now you see Kathy via a long narrated tweet decided to quit . Yep ladies and gents just like that. I knew she was up to no good cause she was quiet and laid very low during the whole Kelly departure.
I've enclosed in this blog 2 pictures : one is of the book purchased prior to meeting Joan at my local bookstore. I also met Kathy (saw her live). Here is the difference: Joan never had to apologize, period.
When I met Joan , she came down those stairs in all her splendor and grace and what I noticed was how humble she was . How we were all applauding and she opened her arms and her mouth was wide open like she was in awe of us in awe of her. Also I highly recommend her podcast "In bed with Joan" you can also ck it out on You Tube.
Ok now about Kathy: Kathy is all about Kathy. That's all. She is all about the dollars and cents and don't let her fool you. It is all always will be about her. I mean seriously after 7 episodes you bail out?
Now I knew something was going to happen: because I had a dream 2 nights ago, that Joan was alive and that she was walking towards me and then she greeted us (me and the Fashion Police staff) and then she left and died again. Awkward. Yes that's how I felt when I woke up. And now this happened last nite. With this quitter , Quitting on us and Mel . Poor Mel (Joans daughter , that is probably still grieving, is still trying to replace air-head Kelly). She doesn't deserve this. My other theory and other bloggers also threw this out: is that they probably told Kathy that Khloe K was joining the team. I read somewhere that Mel and Kathy would have to pick and choose Kelly replacement, but that ultimately it would be the higher up at E! that would have the final say. Hmmm would Ryan Seacrest be in the higher up category. Because then its the Trashdashians all the way. Lets keep our fingers crossed that whoever it is knows about fashion and just doesn't twirl her hair or say Bloop! every 5 seconds. We need someone with integrity and that just wont quit!
Good times- xo Joan- we Love you
