Shopping on Friday. Personally, I don't enjoy the Black Friday hullabaloo. I'll just stay home and eat leftovers all day. That's enough torture for me. But, since you all will be out and about anyway, I thought I'd go ahead and give you my holiday wish list. Just in case. I have been very good this year. To make it easy on you all, each of my gifts is inspired by the show that has been inspiring middle aged, suburban moms for years and years - the American Music Awards.
First up, I need some new eyeliner. Something to make my eyes pop. I'm not sure which brand it is, but I'd love whatever Adam Lambert is currently using. It must be great. He can use it while apparently speed dating on the stage and it still doesn't run or smudge. Even while making out. That's some good stuff. I want that.
See this bare wall in my house?
Boring.What I want for that is Lady Gaga's headdress.
I figure on the wall it will look something like this.
You can't make a nice cake without a cake stencil.
Rihanna's dress should suffice.
While this next gift is not glamorous, it is truly something I need. Some of the carpet in my house is loose. You know how a seam will start to stand up after some years and wear and tear? I need some carpet tacks. I'm thinking the shoulders of Rihanna's other outfit will work beautifully. Those puppies should hold the carpet down nice and firm.
I hate to reference Lady Gaga twice but that girl has it going on. She reminded me during her performance that I really need some more conditioner for my hair.
Those winter fly-aways are tough.Like Alicia Keys, shirts without tags to show me the front from the back are always a confusion. If you get me a shirt, make sure I know which way to wear it.
I'd also enjoy a parakeet. I'm not sure what reminded me of that.
Firming face cream?
Well, with that note in the spirit of the season, I will wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving and a good Friday, however you chose to spend it.

Hilarious! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.
I missed the show, but really this is all I needed for some good entertainment.
(I think I need some eyeliner too.)
Maybe you could just put Lady Gaga on your wall?
lol! really, they make such a spectacle of themselves, don't they? happy thanksgiving!
I'll be home eating turkey sandwiches and playing with my family! Funny post, as usual. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving too!
happy thankgiving! :) From the looks of it i didn't miss much skipping the ama's this year.
Debbie, I hope it's wonderful for you.
Secretia
A friend of mine had to "accidentally" delete the DVR-ed AMAs - zowweeeee!
Whatever happened to nice girl Madonna?
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
The fact that you watched this show is impressive. Love your list. I have a female crush on Lady Gaga. She's just so darn weird that I can't turn away, ya know. I'll be right there with you eating leftover on Black Friday. No shopping for me! Have a great holiday!
I love it! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving :)
Thanks for the laugh! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too!
: )
No small dreams.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too. We don't celebrate it here because French people just don't get it.
I will definitely avoid going to any sales this weekend.
The awards did have some interesting fodder. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.
You truly are the funniest blogger around. I loved this post! I so needed a laugh and some items to add to my wish list too!
You've given me a good laugh this morning. I guess I didn't miss much by not watching the AMA's!
That is too funny. What are people thinking these days???
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Debbie
Thank God you said eye make up,when you mentioned Adam Lambert! I saw the other parts of his show and you could have asked for much worse!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Too funny!! Great post as always. Must not be liquid eyeliner - that stuff runs at the slightest on stage make-out session. I've heard...
As always ... too funny!
Happy TG!
I am with you on the black Friday gig. I like to stay home, in my p.j.'s, eat left overs and decorate my tree.... well my upstairs tree w/o the help of the grand kids.
I will try and find you some of that eye liner. I didn't realize Adam was going to turn out to be such a freak. Although the rest of the people on your list are kind of freaky too.
For about a minute I felt a little out of it that I don't watch the AMAs. You have satisfied my curiosity at the same time that you solidified my decision. Who knew you'd be doing so much good today?
Have I told you how much I adore you?
LMAO! Girl you always give me great dose of hilarity everytime I stop by! Have a wonderful holiday avoiding Black Friday shopping!
Love your list!!
And I have to work retail Black Friday (I'm the store manager and I still couldn't pull rank!)
Well, shoot. If I were actually going to leave my house on Friday, I'd mug Adam and just steal his eyeliner for you. But I'm not. Plus, sharing eyeliner? Maybe kinda gross.
Sorry.
Very funny and very original.. Not so sure of the wall hanging.
Happy Thanksgiving
Oh - hilarious! We don't have Thanksgiving here in Europe but I wouldn't say no to some of that firming cream...
Oh - hilarious! We don't have Thanksgiving here in Europe but I wouldn't say no to some of that firming cream...
Thank you for the reminder that we can always look to celebrities for inspiration in all aspects of our lives.
Omg, too funny! I will be sure to add these things to my wishlist on myregistry.com asap! Ha!
Too funny.. This post made me laugh. Have a great Thanksgiving also.
Laughing.. I too choose to stay home on Friday and continue to stuff my face. Although I do need eyeliner...
I need to go wash my eyes out with battery acid now, thankyouverymuch. That last pic was the worst of the bunch! Yowzers!
Oh, that eyeliner is nice...
I was snarkin' right along with ya till ya nailed my boy Joe Perry. Boyfriend is gonna be 60 next year! He's allowed to sag a little! Supposed to, even! If he'd done anything to - um - correct that, we'd be slamming him for that! Sag on, brother Joe! Blaze the trail! Make it acceptable for the rest of us!
Happy Thanksgiving, Deb!!!
who is the last dude? I guess I am not a musically knowledgeable goat
Haha- a parakeet!
All great ideas - love the cake stencils.
I got a kick out of the AMA costumes. For the first half of her song, my daughter and I both thought Rihanna was wearing a striped jumpsuit.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you and same to you....I can't stop laughing....
I didnt catch the show but this was much better anyway :). Happy Holidays.
Absolutely hysterical and one of your best!!!! Hubby and I watched the show and decided, based on the outfits, that were are VERY old. But now I'm giving it a second thought. Thanks for the wish list ideas :-)
Happy Thanksgiving.
xo
LOL! Thanks, I needed that. I knew something was missing from the AMAs the other night.... Your commentary!
That lady gaga is something else, but at least she isn't boring.
I DO need me some of that eyeliner, and face cream too please (not the kind he's using though!) Some of those outfits - can you imagine putting that on and strutting your 'stuff' all around stage in some of that? Or even looking at yourself in the mirror?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, Debbie. I am thankful for your creative and fun mind!
Happy Thanks Giving, hilarious lady ! I hope you and your gang have a sweet memory making day and lots of left overs for Friday's festivities. Keeping you on my list...
Happy Thanksgiving! Now I'm sorry I missed the AMAs!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Lady Gaga is someone I want to stop watching but can't, she's just so odd.
First
Happy Thanksgiving
second
I laughed my butt off...and orange juice came flying out of my nose....
very funny stuff!
Well I know what I think you should put on your wall! *cough* all my photographs *cough* ;-)
I wish I could do eye makeup like that first gentleman!! I'll have to practice, I guess.
Strangely enough, I've listened to Lady Gaga a lot today, beginning when you posted this (assuming the time in my blog reader is correct). I think perhaps you and she conspired to motivate me to make a huge amount of books for the Christmas fair! Thank you and thank Lady Gaga. :D
Wow- each outfit is grosser than the last! How do they do it? :)
It amazes me what is called fashion. I suppose I'm just too boring. No parakets or antlers in my hair. No black friday, either.
Happy Holidays!
LMAO! It's been YEARS since I've gone out shopping on BF, but with 3 not-so-little ones home with Daddy, I'm tempted this year. I'll think of your post if I get frazzled. LOL!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Classic!
Performers are all freaks now...I mean fashion forward, really talented people I aspire to look like.
Apparently I missed out on some great laughs by not watching the AMA's!
Don't forget to ask for some of that black hair dye and black fingernail polish Adam was wearing.
To think I used to like him on Idol.
I won't be out shopping on black Friday either. Can't stand crowds.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I think you might want to go for something a little more subtle than the Adam Lambert eyeliner! Maybe Tammy Faye's?
Happy Thanksgiving!
I laughed so hard I coughed up two sick lungs. Thanks for curing what ails me. Happy Thanksgiving!
Too funny! I always wonder if they really think they look good because to me half the time the celeberties look ridiculous at these events.
Oh my dear, you are hilarious! Happiest Thanksgiving wishes your way. I'll be home feasting on leftovers too... Really cannot stand crowded places.
Funny. I don't like how any of them dress so better to put those clothes to more practical use.
Thanks for the laugh, Debbie.
Have the happiest Thanksgiving!
Love at ya and
hugs hugs
My brother and sister-in-law got to see that spectacle first hand! Wacky outfits.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving and may God bless you abundantly :)
So funny Debbie! I am still chuckling ... Hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving Day. Peace and love, Lyn
Debbie, I have a present for you on my blog.
Please stop by and pickit up.
hugs hugs
Thanks for making me laugh. Happy Thanksgiving!
I know, right? What on earth was all of that about? The AMAs made me feel like I had landed on a different planet. When I saw Adam's performance...I ~felt like running for the next spaceship home.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
I can see why you would want all of those things.
that was all pretty funny
I love the show for the mere reason it is my fix on "weird"!!
like another planet
Hope you have a marvelous Thanksgiving holiday
(maybe you can find some of those things on line and not have to do the Black Friday where everyone will be in line for the eyeliner)
LOL! I needed this today!
Dang, this post makes me actually wish I HAD watched the AMA's this year. My shopping list would be filled out by now with all these inspiring gift-giving ideas and what not. - G
"speed dating" LOLOL
DUUUUUUUUDE. Rihanna's "dress" isn't a dress...it's a tic-tac-toe board!
See, I NEED you in my life - I didn't even watch the AMA's! (BTW - I spent my pre-dawn hours at JoAnn's again, buying flannel. I thought of you. ;-) Oh and then I went to Costco tonight..and thought of you again. LOL)
Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!!
Debbie, You ALWAYS make me laugh!!! These pictures are hilarious!!! And your commentary? Well, that's just the icing on the cake for me!!! Unfortunately, I avoid Black Friday at all costs!! Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend!! ~Janine XO
Hahahaa, hilarious! I shopped online;) Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving.
ah, now I know why I don't watch them :)
My favorite is the antlers!! This is hilarious!
I was looking at eye liner at Victoria Secret on Black Friday. I could have picked you up some had I known.
P.S. That is novel...seeing Adam Lambert in a photo where he is not flipping me the bird.
*snicker* LOL *snicker*
ROFL. Funniest post I have read all week. Great stuff :)
And maybe some anti-skid sneakers so you don't fall on your ass like J. Lo did? :)
Happy (albeit belated) Thanksgiving my friend! I missed the AMA's, thanks for the much better and laughable recap. Everything is still in storage, but I looked like a crazy woman for the platter I won from you last year. Miss you somethin fierce.
Blessings, C~
Happy Thanksgiving (late) :)
This whole post is brilliant of course. Love the cake stencil reference.
I'm sitting in my bed, sicker than a dog, and there's a part of me that's relieved because it means I get to read some blogs. Is that wrong? :)
hahaha!!! that was hilarious!!! Rihanna...God what is she wearing...???
Oh Lady Gaga...she is her own dog;)
Hey, I emailed you on the tabs...let me know if you got it:)
I missed the AMA's this year, I think that officially makes me not cool anymore, ha! Great pics, I always wonder if these people try on these outfits, look in the mirror and say, "Yes! This is perfect!"
Yup, those outfits are all very multipurpose, aren't they?
And I'm glad for your advice to just let Google Reader win. I keep toying with the idea of giving myself a Reader amnesty by marking everything as read, but I think surrendering to the defeat is more my style.
Too too funny! Loved this post!
I mean really these people LET themselves get photographed like that. If it was any of us we'd be top shelf humor for peopleofwalmart.com! :o)
My best, Lynn
Glambert's eyeliner comes straight from Hookers R Us. You're welcome.
Oh this was hilarious. Nicely done!
You are a true delight ! thanks for stopping by and I'm going out to get me some cake stencils :))))
if I can find a deal !

OMG, you're just brilliant.
