Calling 411

Why do I still wait for boys to call me? I swear, it started in 3rd grade, and now, I’m forever trapped in this dumb-ass game of waiting. With cell phones, it’s 10x worse. Girls check their Blackberries every minute hoping to hear that familiar beep beep beep– a harbinger of hope- to bring meaning to their otherwise empty lives. Obsessing is my specialty, as you should all have figured out by now. It’s like my full time job, which complements my part time Google work, rather nicely. So, I totally need to expand on this phone etiquette, I realize. The waiting part is the... [Read more of this review]

I am not Cattle. YOU Moooooove!

Burbank Airport.  Excellent for leaving quickly but not the most organized after landing. Maybe 10 terminals, but more likely, 7.  I go to retrieve my luggage post Vegas and encounter more sheep like pleeb morons (yes; this is their specific genus classification).  We are all accustomed to waiting like assholes around the great moving metal beast that spits out our luggage after dropping and chewing it many times (make-up and hair product be damned!)  Now I understand that we all need our luggage and that there aren’t enough claims for us to surround them politely and each receive our... [Read more of this review]

We will Accept a Spider Drawing as Payment

Well, sometimes you just have to sit back and realize how blessed we are to have this beautiful thing we call the internet. Without it, the following story would probably not be seen or heard by anyone other than the parties involved, and most likely would have never occurred (since it revolves around an email string). As reported by nineMSN, the Australian version of MSN, a resident of Adelaide (capital of the Australian state of South Australia) tried to pay his utility bill with a spider drawing. Before I show you the absolute gems that these emails are, I would like to say that if you ever... [Read more of this review]

Behind the Hype Prepares to Make it Rain

Some of you may be familiar with the Fat Joe track Make it Rain, off of his album Me, Myself & I and you probably already know how pure genius it is. For those of you unfamiliar with this magical song, you are in for a treat. No matter what your background is, I think you should be able to find the humor in pretending to be so well-off that you can literally throw money into the sky. I might be mistaken, and if I am, feel free to go fuck yourself and read another post or another site. The Plan My buddy turned 24 today, and is having a get-together at Springbok to celebrate his most recent... [Read more of this review]

Calling All Boobs!

My buddy Oliver’s birthday is coming up this Friday, and I asked him what he wanted. He did not hesitate with this immediate response: I want boobs for my birthday. All over my face. But not stripper boobs. So what I ask you, my reading public, is if you are in the greater Los Angeles area, have boobs, are not against having them in some random man’s face, and are not a stripper, then we need to talk. The only alternative is I get him nice and liquored up, and shove my own moobs (i.e.: man boobs) in his face, which would be highly unorthodox for me (read: par for the course). Notice,... [Read more of this review]

My Sweet Sweet Scarlett, Soiled! Damn You Ryan Reynolds!!

I know it’s not really all that newsworthy anymore, but for those of you living under a rock the past three or so weeks…My wonderful, glorious, goddess Scarlett (that’s Ms. Johansson to you) has been ruined - by Van Wilder himself - Ryan Reynolds! Absolute Perfection It’s taken this long for my paralyzing shock to subside enough to permit me to venture a rant on this topic. I hinted at it in my Guilty Pleasure post. But now, well, now Mr. Morissette has gone and done it. How?! Why?!! He’s somehow conned/scammed/blackmailed/hypnotized my precious into getting hitched. My... [Read more of this review]

Luke’s Hand, Cooled…

Cool Hand Luke PAUL NEWMAN HAS PASSED AWAY. When I first heard the news, I literally gasped. It wasn’t an ironic, forced or facetious gasp.  Nor did I merely utter a disinterested “gasp”. A sincere gasp manifested itself as I stumbled upon the sidebar on IMDB while looking up cast info for Choke. To say that Paul Newman is a great actor, wow, I guess I mean, to say Paul Newman was a great actor, is to say that Pope Benedict is kinda religious. I don’t believe anyone, short of possibly Robert Redford could do this man any justice in remembrance, so I won’t even try. ... [Read more of this review]

V is for Vagina

Continuing the theme, I’d like to think that my vagina makes for interesting conversation. And the fact that my little ol’ hot pocket always seems to find itself in some amazingly awkward situation or another, well, it kinda makes me believe that I’m sitting on a Super Hero with magestic powers. (Or, if you are one of my exes, a Super Villain.) Behold my most recent vagina adventurequest… Mike: if i don’t make menstruation jokes who will? Mike: its creepy when women do it Mike: because then shit gets real Casey: well i guess i know to keep my mouth shut then Casey:... [Read more of this review]

I Heart Planned Parenthood

My first post. Nice and controversial. Hey, I’m Casey Cupcakes. And if this blog doesn’t lay it out plain and simple, well… And I also enjoy being a bleeding-heart liberal, 20-something female living in California. …Which brings me to my next point. Because of the fact that all Planned Parenthood locations are notorious for long waits, I avoided even a mere attempt at making an appointment for my latest, erm, health scare, and jumped right into mass texting every liberal chick in my phonebook, because surely, one of those hookers would have the answer to my prayers.... [Read more of this review]
