‘My Life as Liz’ might kill me
My Life as Liz just had the last episode of the season…and like all the others, it made me so, so ANGRY!!!
Here’s the root of my anger:
Bryson, Liz’s boy crush, texts her saying he wants to talk. So she meets him, sits on top of his car, shares a fry, and then blurts out how she’s waffling about whether or not to move to New York.
Like any reasonable guy would follow THAT with a love proclamation.
“Arrrrrgggghhhh!!!” I grunted waiving my veggie bun at the TV. “Liz is mentally disabled!”
My husband gives me his “I can’t believe you’re going on about this as if it was real” look as he takes a bite of fried rice.
More angering scenes unfold. Then more fist-pumping anger. Liz finds out Bryson is interested in her and rides a bike (because this show is dramatic) to his house. “He just left left on a summer-long trip,” paraphrases his mom. As if there weren’t any cell phones to call and say, “Dude, I’m a jackass. Let’s talk.”
So now Liz is going to New York, where every Jane, Ruby and Zoe wears red lipstick and has a snarky attitude. What might she wear to stand out there?
She won’t abandon her tough girl look — maybe just go extra vintage? Here’s my idea of what Liz might wear in NY:

- 70s Cowl Shirt, $15
- Yellow Vintage Sunglasses, $10
- Low Skinny 531, $98
- BDG Cinched Waist Anorak, $78
- NikeIds, $160
- Led Zeppelin Pin, $3
- The Jam Pin, .99£
- Wizard of Oz Pin Set (monkey shown), $3.99

Carrie- This is by far the best and most hilarious blog post that I’ve seen.

And then he does the whole “brush her face” thing and doesn’t seal the deal….come on, man! Grow some!

LOL — I’m glad to hear more Liz frustration. I was worried that my anger was a product of my age. Lord!
