BLOG » the blind leading the blind (part 44):

1. the CAMERA doesn’t add ten pounds, ten pounds adds ten pounds!

2. create a world for yourself in which you’re not helpless. I know a lot of people who will have nothing to fall back on when they’re older. Be indispensable with something only you can contribute to the world. be a master at what you do! be relentless and get better and better as you go; at your writing, your talent, your thoughts, your voice. and be self aware enough to know when you aren’t good at something- that way you can use that knowledge to re-work your plan/goal. and the goal should always be something that makes you HAPPY and LOTS OF MONEY! you can have both at the SAME TIME!

to summarize: know who you are and what you’re good at. then use that to figure out what kinda job will make you really happy and lots of money!

3. if you live in Hollywood and the dude you’re dating/fucking lives in Hermosa Beach- you’re in a long distance relationship.

4. if you can’t tone it, tan it!

5. dear urban outfitters on melrose: you know I love you boo, but what’s up with the loud slammy dressing room doors? It’s just too much! every slam literally rattles my soul and hurts my bones! Can’t someone add some cushy padding to lessen the intensity of that slam? I truly feel passionate about this! Was this the design teams cruel joke? If so, tell those fuckers to chillax!

6. people who don’t own TVs are jerks. UNLESS they can’t afford a TV, then they’re poor jerks!

7.  fyi: every encounter you have is an interview or a date! whether you know it or not, it is! so just try to be likable, charming, and look presentable at ALL times! all that changes from encounter to encounter is who’s interviewing who! so try not to embarrass yourself/me/us.

8. don’t smoke crack…..ever!!!

9. if you’re driving down a narrow street and a car comes towards you, leaning away from the car will not save you from being potentially side swiped. true story.

10. monogamy is possible, if you want it to be.

  1. WOOT! GO Alexi! Congratulations on making it in Italian Vogue (such a pretty picture), Oyster Magazine, and College Humor. This was such an uplifting Blind Leading The Blind. Number two, seven, and ten are my favorites. Thanks for brightening my day once again. Stay independent!


  2. Wow. I so accidentally stumbled upon this blog entry, that you wouldn’t believe how it came about. (I’m case you are curious, it was the most recent and physically ‘closest’ new tweet, near my current location.) Out of curiosity, I clicked, and now I feel a kinship and validation that I had forgotten i needed! I mean thruout all your “points”, but specifically the dressing room doors at UO on Melrose. Honestly, I do not try on clothes there any longer. Those doors gave me 27 too many headaches!


  3. 6. people who don’t own TVs are jerks. UNLESS they can’t afford a TV, then they’re poor jerks!

    BOOWAHAHAHHAHRHRH


  4. #7 is too true.

    One of the best ones in awhile :)


  5. thank you! xoxo


  6. uhhhh yeah. I work at Urban Outfitters in Fresno and the loud doors EVEN make ME cringe everytime.
    Whenever I’m working the fitting rooms, I try to close the doors as softly as possible…because slamming them just seems rude! Stupid heavy ass doors!


  7. Ever since the advent of the DVR, the ONLY commercial I ever avoid ff-ing through and always watch in its entirety is your York Peppermint Patty commercial. FACT.


  8. Lol, love the entire list, especially #1. I tend to blame the double chin and tummy chub on my shitty cam, but yeah, it’s really just the pints of ice cream I insist on consuming.

    P.S. So I know I’m not Italian Vogue, but I gave you a shout on my blog today :)

  9. People who don’t own a TV or watch TV are so weird!


  10. haha i’ve never had a tv in my entire life

    when i was little i hated that but now i mean who the fuck needs a tv when you have a computer??


  11. Thanks you A. I love you. And I love the remix, btw, I love Requiem For A Dream.


  12. The doors of the Toronto/Queen W Urban Outfitters are exactly the same. SLAM. SLAM. SLAM. I truly feel for the employees stuck working there and listening to that all day.


  13. i live for blind leading the blind entries!


  14. LOve your blog…


  15. # 2 was well said. Not so much a blind statement, very visionary-esque ;)


  16. [...] Alexi Wasser’s Blind Leading The Blind Part 44 (ImBoyCrazy) [...]

  18. i don’t own a tv, and i’m not a jerk. kind of hurt my feelings…


  19. the blind leading the blind is my favorite shit ever.


  20. Um, I don’t mean to be a bugger, but holy shit is number 6 offensive.


  21. Good stuff, I’m really digging the show as well :)


  22. haha #9 = me S:


  23. #5 missed a great opportunity for a Paul McCarthy zinger. Another door slams shut. Monogamy is for lesbians. I like monogamy but not lesbians. I’m a lesbian.


  24. #3 YES. that is how everyone acts and it’s horrible. see, I’m the one, girl, living in Hermosa. People seriously don’t know where it is sometimes. long distance relationships work sometimes though yeha?


  25. Great post! Thanks you !
