Bryce Gruber’s Thoughts of the Day (planes and such)

Written by Bryce

Spray tans and stray titz.

“I’ve put butter on my legs. Summer in Ohio, it gets very hot. We were all out of sun tan lotion…” -Carmen Electra (WTF?!)

1) Palm Trees, Please. For the past decade or so of my life I’ve been on a non-stop airplane whirlwind. I’ve been all over the world and hardly had more than 4-6 weeks at a stretch without heading to some far off destination whether for work, play, or family gatherings. Somehow I got a break this year- I haven’t gone anywhere too wild since February. Three months just may be the longest I’ve been in NYC for- ever. Tomorrow morning marks the end of the quiet cycle as I’ll be schlepping my two year old across the country to LA (with boyfriend in tow) so he can see his dad for a bit while I film, work, and attend a wild Indian wedding complete with elephants and Bengal tigers.

2) Tan Me, Baby! I stopped into Completely Bare this morning (my fave place) for a quick spray tan before heading out to LA to wear nothing but short dresses and skimpy wardrobe galore. While I was there I ran into Cindy Barshop (everyone’s fave NY housewife), and Carolina from Z100 (everyone’s fave radio station). You know what I love about both those girls? They’re both so REAL… Cindy, in fact, was real enough to show us where she superglued her skin back together after a nasty fight with a toddler toy. Carolina stopped in for some services before her big wedding day, and got seriously the most perfect spray tan EVER.  By the time I walked out of there we were spray tan twinsies.

3) Boob Out! Crap. After I left CB I headed back down to Union Square to run some errands pre- trip. I was moseying along 14th Street when I realized my maxi dress was halfway down my chest. F*ck. I think most of Union Square caught a good glimpse of the boobs that made my 2 year old so husky. Unfortunately there’s not much boob action left, so I hardly stopped traffic. In fact, I think my lack of boobage is why I didn’t even notice they were out in the first place. Sigh.
