Okay, so I’m a little behind the 8-ball but I have just discovered my love of Veronica Mars. That show is so clever, so creepy, so snappy. I haven’t felt this into a TV show since Ray Pruit pushed Donna down the stairs in 90210 (just quietly, very intrigued to see how the new version is going to work out – a part of me is excited, another part is thinking horse, stick…). This new-found appreciation for the show has made me a total groupie for VM herself, Kristen Bell. She has an understated beauty that really appeals to me. She’s one of those girls for whom it’s easy to forget that she’s actually incredibly beautiful. And she has a killer voice. Who else could turn “xoxo, Gossip Girl” into this years most catchy phrase? Thank God the clever clogs on Heroes snapped her up. I’ve never really gotten into the show but I’d probably watch her paint a house. Anyhow, in honour of her uppercut hotness (as in, you don’t see it coming, geddit?), here are just a few examples of what I mean. See? Total minx.

And I promise this is my last Olympic themed vent (after all, it's over now!), but what is with gymnasts and scrunchies? These girls must be single-handedly keeping the whole scrunchie business afloat because you really don’t see them much on the street any more. But boy, I’d like to get my hands on those girls and hand them a far, far cooler snagless elastic band. Sigh…
