happy weekend kissies,

And I’ll leave you lovelies, with this slice of entertainment…
Email from “The Biscotti King”:
(again, I refuse to spell/grammar check other peeps verbiage)

BK: How did you get to be so beautiful? Is it natural? I’m sure that it is a beauty you were born with. One of my favorite foods is sushi, to be honest. I can be very honest. What kind of honesty would you like?

Whaaat?? Yea, exactly! I wanted to see what this crazee looked like. Well, he obviously saw that I took a look at his online profile and then sent this email…

BK: I guess you liked my compliment. I’ll have to re-read your profile because I’m at a lose of what other comments or compliments I can send your way. As I said, I can be very honest.

I have very endurance when doing something physical like walking, running, or swimming. Oh! I am very good with massages but am really out of practice. I think I may have said this in my profile. Did I say that?


OH. ICK.

My very dear friend Tanille, creative director of Undercover Starlet, has generously teamed up with Midtown Girl to giveaway 2 items from her uber-pretty collection!

Each is a lovely gift to yourself or for a friend!
Undercover Starlet™ is a chic, urban brand that represents the best independent, creative vision has to offer. Tanille is the creative director of the collection, and she fashions to make young women feel as good as they look with beautiful cottons, bright colors, and feel good emblems. Tanille’s edgy personality and exuberant creativity burst through Undercover Starlet™ clothing and books.

All of our garments are handcrafted from the hand pressing of the shirt emblems to the hand sewn adornments. Our clothes consist of high quality cottons made in America. Our products are made sweatshop-free. We take very much care when designing and creating Undercover Starlet™ Brand clothes and products so that each customer feels like a starlet when wearing our clothes or reading our books.

Undercover Starlet, Starlet Journal

The mission of Undercover Starlet™ is what sparked the creation of the sassy Starlet Journal, the first book from our brand which provides inspirational reading on feeling good and taking care of your health written by Tanille and Dr. Latoya Edwards, as well as space for creative thought expression in the diary portion of the book where owners use Starlet Journal to write out their thoughts and feelings.

Limited Edition: Undercover Starlet Party Dress

Feel good and party right in this soft cotton dress that stretches to fit your curves. This dress can be worn off both shoulders, off one shoulder or on both shoulders. Get creative with the ribbon tie on the left shoulder included with the dress. Let everyone know you’re a star with the Starlet imprint embellished in only the finest Swarkovski crystals!
