the wedding machine has begun eating money and crapping data; per the advice of umpteen online bridal guides, i purchased my Binder* ("[b]esides your future spouse...the closest thing to a best friend you'll have during your engagement period") and have been stuffing it with obscure british marriage law printouts and (more importantly) ripped-out magazine spreads. joe is hugely skeptical of the magazines' utility, which is understandable - if one drops a zero from the dress prices and broadens the palette a bit, one usually ends up with tacky promwear - but i've found occasional inspiration. at the very least, i'm learning from others' mistakes.
after an unconscionable hiatus, the mischa barton quote of the day:
Take Mischa Barton, who tells the U.K.'s Harpers & Queen that her former publicist encouraged her to sleep with Leonardo DiCaprio. The actress says that at a party, her flack Craig Schneider pointed out the Titanic actor and said, "For the sake of your career, go and sleep with that man." ...[T]he 19-year-old O.C. actress' reaction: "Isn't Leo, like, 30, or something?"
(metro, 11.11.05)
*unsurprisingly, most actual Wedding Binders are quite luxe and quite expensive; mine is large, plastic, and $8.99 at staples. i'm resisting the urge to cover it with stickers, as its secondary purpose is to trick vendors into thinking that i know my shit and shouldn't be overcharged for things like flowers and booze.

then there's this:
THE OC star MISCHA BARTON has hit out at critics who claim she is too young to write an autobiography, insisting her stories are fascinating.
The 19-year-old actress has already spent 10 years in the movie industry and promises her tales from the sets of blockbusters THE SIXTH SENSE and NOTTING HILL will make brilliant reading.
She storms, "I was starring opposite JULIA ROBERTS at the age of 12, that's already a big enough story."
