the 2009 poshdeluxmas wish list

dear santa,

how’s it going in the north pole? i really hope you can wear long underwear underneath yr red suit. anyway, i’m writing to tell you that I AM A HUGE FAN OF CHRISTMAS. hopefully, you’ve been keeping up with my blog, so you already know that, but i just wanted to reiterate how much i TOTALLY BELIEVE IN YOU and yr ability to dish out the goods.

i’d also like to take this opportunity to point out what a good pants i have been this year!!! i have been AWESOME! i’ve worked hard and loved on my friends and family and supported a variety of, um, social causes and started a new website and pet A LOT of puppies and rewarded many fine restaurants and champagne companies with my patronage and spread tons of squee through Girlie Night and did i mention i give money to public radio?

not to brag or anything. obvs. i’m just trying to be real with you.

with that said, i humbly submit to you my 2009 christmas wish list. i was inspired by the neiman marcus “christmas book,” and by that i mean, this shizz is EXPENSIVE. like, it is outrageous and ridiculous and totally an affront to third world countries.

but hey, you’re santa! who am i to tell you what’s impossible?! i *believe* in you, so who cares what the haters say?

also, i hope it goes without saying that OF COURSE i would also like to ask for world peace, an end to hunger, better health care and the complete removal of all genocide from this planet.

xoxo
*posh pants

p.s. please tell buddy the elf i said hi!

royal dandie “extreme” mini-pig
price: $4,500-5,000

LOOK AT THESE MINI PIGS. they literally are called “dandie extremes” cos they are JUST THAT TINY. i don’t think i need to explain myself any further.

recurring role on Friday Night Lights
price: they pay ME, suckas!

santa, don’t tell me you’re already doubting yr own powers. look, i’ve already been ON the show. i mean, for a second. maybe. also if taylor kitsch can pass for a high schooler, so can i, so this should be no problem. plus i can already tell that tami taylor and i will be BFFS TO THE MAX so obvs i will get along excellently with the cast.

cupcake cars
price: $25,000.00

santa, i cannot tell you how many times people have emailed me the link to these cars from the neiman marcus xmas book. it’s obvious that the world NEEDS me to have one of these sweet (PUN INTENDED) little vehicles. honestly, given my enduring support and love for cupcakes, i would say i’ve earned it.

hip hop dance training so that i can finally perform the finale of “step up 2: the streets”
price: PRICELESS

ok, this was on my list last year and I DIDN’T GET IT, so i’m asking for it again, which should indicate to you that this isn’t some trendy toy that i will tire of after a month. this is a LIFE GOAL. p.s. it’s assumed that these lessons would be taught to me by, of course, channing tatum and robert hoffman. honestly i don’t think anyone else would be qualified. i’m sure you agree.

betsey johnson dress from her spring 08 collection
price: ?!

have you ever seen an outfit at a store that you COVETED but then, for whatever reason, decided not to buy and it still HAUNTS YOU TO THIS DAY because it was just THAT amazing? well, santa, maybe not so much for you, since you seem to wear the same thing every day (no offense). let me try to put it in terms you can understand. this dress? it’s like the Ghost of Christmas Past, torturing me with its pinknosity and sparkle and UNATTAINABILITY. i will not be at peace until i own it! and then i will wear it everyday regardless of weather or propriety!

chocolate variation from mezzaluna, inside the lebua hotel at state tower in bangkok
price: $640

i’ll be honest with you, santa. i googled “world’s most expensive dessert” and this is one of the items that came up. keep in mind i actually did NOT pick the most expensive one, because i’m all about taste, not money. check out this description:

At this Italian eatery, dessert is a smorgasbord of tastes: a dollop of champagne sherbet made from Louis Roederer Cristal Brut 2000, gold-flecked edible leaves, a shot glass of crème brûlée with shaved Perigord truffles, strawberry chocolate mousse and a sliver of chocolate cake. It’s all washed down with a glass of very rare—and very expensive—Moyet Tres Vieille Grande Champagne No. 7. (It’s estimated that just 1,000 bottles exist.)

as a highly professional dessert pants, i believe this gift would enhance my Tasty Business Portfolio, so this is, like, a character building type of present.

slumber party with my favorite YA authors
price: depends on the level of bribery required

rest assured, i have already put a LOT of legwork into this one, what with my foreveryoungadult.com-ing and hello, i’ve totally already MET sara zarr (at the tx book festival). so honestly, santa, it wouldn’t be THAT much work for you. all i’m asking from you is:

1. a posh but super comfy house for the weekend
2. delicious party food, including a chic-fil-a nugget platter, sugar mama’s cupcakes and unlimited champers
3. kickass jim jams for everyone
4. sarah dessen, e. lockhart, lauren myracle and sara zarr in attendance

for a guy who time travels every christmas eve, this should be a piece of cake. plus i already own “you’ve got mail” and “pride & prejudice,” so you don’t even need to throw in any dvds!

and that, dear santa, is the end of my list! i know, pretty short, right? i really try to only ask for gifts that are completely necessary.

since you’re already hanging out here on le blog, how about considering requests from the rest of pants world in the comment section? i solemnly swear that all of them have been fine, upstanding boys and girls this year, with the possible exception of henri, but you didn’t hear that from me.

LINKS

squee of the day: trish tweeted this story about a tiger and a bear, DIFFERENT ANIMALS BEING FRIENDS!!!!!! hmm. i should’ve added that to my xmas list.

j.j. abrams is working on a new show about spies, and the reason i’m excited is cos he’s partnered back up with josh reims, who he worked with on FELICITY, meaning i think this show is going to be PRETTY AWESOME. esp. if they cast keri russell. ahem.

so the trailer for “the sorcerer’s apprentice”? it actually looks kind of… awesome.
