Universal Studios Quickie Trip

I swear I didn't take a bunch of trips all at one time. I've just been neglecting my blog for too long and have so many trips and photos to post and write about.

Ever since my husband joined his new company, his new business offices are located in Providence, Orlando and some other city that I forget. So he has been traveling back in forth to these three cities several times a month. So whenever I get really sick of Philly's freezing cold, depressing weather, I join Eddie on his trips to Orlando. That's why you'll be seeing a lot of Disney World/Universal Studio posts in the future. I mean cmon, who goes to Orlando and doesn't go to the theme parks??

We luckily caught great whether during the trip. It was around 80 degrees the whole week and dropped back down to high 60s when we left. Perfecto!

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel which is located inside Universal which meant we were able to get inside the park one hour earlier than the general public. One hour may not seem like a lot but you have no idea how awesome it is to be able to go to Harry Potter world and have it be completely empty!! If you gave me the choice of being rich and famous or becoming a real wizard in the wizarding world I would pick being a wizard any day!! *Sigh* If only.

Exactly one hour after I took this photo, the park was completely packed.

My second favorite part of the park is Dr. Seuss Land. Not only does Dr. Seuss share my birthday, all of Seuss Land was built without one single straight line. Can you imagine the architectural nightmare it must have been?

"Ye um, I want you to build an enormous park with lots of rides and restaurants and stuff and oh ye, if I see one single straight line in the entire park...YOU ARE FIRED!"

FUN STUFF.

Many rides at Universal are 4D experiences. For those who have no clue what 4D is, it's basically watching a 3D movie but you chair is moving, shit is poking you in the back, if there is water spilling in the movie there is water being sprayed in your face in real life. There was even one movie where the character burped and we got surrounded by a cloud of nacho smelling air. *Barf*

No joke, this minion for "Despicable Me" was a little pervert. After taking a photo together, it looked directly at my boobs and started making creepy purring and whistling noises. All I could think of was who the hell was in there? I mean look at how tall they are!! Five feet tops! That means I just got sexually assaulted by a preteen boy or an almost midget.

Another favorite area of mine are the replica streets of New York. Universal replicated many "old" New York streets and it's always fun to walk and imagine you are in New York back in the days of flappers and gangsters.

How cool is this climbing wall!? Looks like a real NY building. I would have climbed it but those kids sucked at climbing and probably would've taken another 15 minutes to get to the top.

My handsome man in front of Poseidon's Adventure.

Messing around in some weird above ground, netting maze. It was so hot and sweaty but I'm such a kid I just had to run around for a bit.

At night time, we took a ferry from our hotel to Universal City Walk because there's pretty much nothing else to do in Orlando at night except for maybe Pleasure Island but I have bad memories from that place. It was pretty empty so we didn't go to any of the nightclubs. I don't feel comfortable going to nightclubs with under dressed people anyway. If there is no dress code, I tend to stay away. FAR AWAY.

And I must end this post with this magnificent bowl of nachos. Arguably the best nachos on the planet. I love you Margaritaville!!

Stay At Gaylord Resort In Nashville And Pink Concert

Yes, there is an actual hotel that is called the Gaylord. Yes, some man sat there one day and thought that name up. No, I have no clue why someone would name a hotel the Gaylord. Yes, the Gaylord is basically 5 mini cities combined into one huge hotel covered in a bubble of glass. Yes, it is crazy expensive. Yes, people talk in funny southern accents.

What a fun trip though! My husband recently brought me along to one of his business escapades to Nashville, TN. I like to say it Naaaaaashville.

When I say this hotel is huge I'm talking HUUUGEEE. There are 5 enormous, glass covered atriums with mini jungles and waterfalls inside of them, over 20 restaurants, indoor and outdoors pools, an indoor river that you can ride boats on, I can go on but I'll stop there. You get the point. With so much to do and see at this hotel I didn't even venture out of the glass bubble for my entire stay.

It took approxamitely 2.5 hours to walk to my room from the main lobby (exxagertaing a bit) but there was a nice little cafe right next to my room where I ate at pretty much every morning. I was being pretty healthy too as you can see! 

This nice little breakfast cost me $20.WTF? Totally ripping me off because they know I'm too lazy to walk  2.5 hours back to the lobby and outside to find a place that would serve me the same for six bucks.

But the gorgeous views really made up for how expensive everything was. At one point I could've sworn we were in Jurassic Park when Eddie and I got lost inside one of the atrium jungles.

Omg, this was such a perfect place to get married!If I wasn't already married I would have gotten married right then and there.

I had to look really good one night for a large event at the hotel where several thousand people from the HP convention were attending so I got my hair and makeup done at the hotel's salon. Loved the hair!! Eddie's coworker said I looked like the hot Jewish girl from "Date Night" who slept with Mark Wahlberg lol.

The Gaylord was even more stunning at night time.That's a sushi restaurant in the middle of the lobby. Honestly I wouldn't trust a sushi place in the south. What do they know about making sushi? They should stick to apple pies and fried chicken IMO. Do what you do best!!

After the HP event, a bunch of us took a bus to downtown Nashville to a Blues bar. Why did we not go to a country bar you may ask? It's Nashville after all, home of country music. Well, I was on a bus full of country music haters (including me) so we unanimously decided that blues was one step up from country.

Cool light photo during the bus ride :) 

After a fun filled (and busy for my husband) week in Tennessee,  we flew to Orlando, FL to see Eddie's favorite singer of all time, Pink.

I was never a fan of Pink but let me tell you, after watching her in concert, I have an all new respect for her amazing talents. She does some aerial stuff that I do. And I have a hard time breathing when I perform those moves and she did all of my movies while singing live the entire time. Seriously have no clue how she does it. Props to her!

My Creepo Facebook Messages - Part 2

Hey everyone! So my last "Creepo Facebook Messages" post was such a huge hit that I decided to entertain you with even more creepos! Luckily I get a never ending stream of these weirdo messages so I will never run out of material. And as someone suggested, maybe I'll even print a book with all of them haha.

If anyone has gotten perverted messages in their own inbox, feel free to email a screenshot to me at Jewelzblog@gmail.com. Would love to see some that are not targeted towards me for once :)

Here ya go...

My Creepo Facebook Messages - Part 2

-I have never scammed anyone out of their hard earned money as of yet... So no, I believe I am not Nigerian at the moment. PS...Seriously though, do I even look half Nigerian to you??

-First off, I'm proud to be a man lover and take offense to being called a "lesbo". Second, the thought of you looking at my photos and getting "hot" down there is enough to make me want to delete my FB account....forever.

-Well, here in America we don't discriminate against blue eyed people. You would really love this country.

-Not only do I get asked to help guys find dates, now I have to find their family members too?? Shouldn't I be getting paid for this? Jewelz Dating & Tracking Family Member Services. My new business venture.

 -Well I'm definitely prettier than Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. They are all pasty looking. But Princess Jasmine...I don't know. She's pretty damn hot so that's a tough call.

-Way to win me over with your AMAZING personality. 

-Dear Barrister Antoine, I'm not embarrassed at all. In fact, It's completely understandable that I have a secret, millionaire family in a third world country in Africa since I am of Ukranian descent and all. Also can you please tell my secret, millionaire family that I am extremely upset with them. All this time I could have been driving around in a hot pink Ferrari instead of a BMW. Not cool, not cool. And I am so glad that you realized that I was the late Mr. A Abramson's descendant as opposed to the other 2.5 million Abramsons in the world. I'll be contacting you shortly!

-You can tack to me whan pigs flay.

-The only thing you would get from wining and dining me would be a very very fat Julie. I suggest against it.



That's it for now folks! lol...I'll have more when more comes :)

My Creepo Facebook Messages

I recently learned that Facebook has been filtering my inbox messages for several years now. Anything Facebook deems unworthy of my reading, it throws the message into an "Other" folder that I never even knew existed. 

At first I was pretty pissed off to learn that I had been missing on business opportunities for over a year but as I opened message after message I realized what Facebook was really doing. It was filtering all of the perverted, psycho stalkers out there from ever reaching me. 

Sorting through all these perverted love letters and marriage proposals really creeped me out but it was a bit humorous as well. And that is why I've decided to share some of my favorite messages with you! And I won't even bother censoring the names so that in the future, if some creepo decides to send me a nasty message, they will think twice before doing so!!

My Creepo Facebook Messages 

 

-Mom?? Ewww.

-First off "Chris", If you have been an international supermodel since 1999 (14 years ago) that means you are old as hell now. That means you are like the grandpa of supermodels. Second, the fact that you just mentioned that you traveled the world 10 times over makes your statement "I don't go bragging every four seconds" extremely hypocritical. Third, my so called "lottery ticket" is in reality a beautiful and caring husband who understands his wife's passion for traveling and would do anything it takes to see his wife smile. Be it buying her a chocolate cupcake or flying her to Paris. And last but not least, I would be successful with or without my husband because I am driven by people like you to prove them wrong. PS. I doubt Grandpa supermodels pull in a million a year these days ;)

-Please stop begging.

-Can you want to stick your head in a blender?

-Why would anyone ever strike a deal with someone so illiterate? You can't even end a sentence with a proper punctuation mark. Wait you know what, I'm actually feeling nice today. I think I'll just take 50k of my husband's money and ship it off to Romania for you and sit on my comfy couch here in the US and wait until you build me a super-mega club that I will most definitely make millions from. 50k in Romania goes a long way doesn't it? 

-What makes your heart a gift? Unless it is my husband's heart or it is studded with canary diamonds, I do not quite distinguish it as a gift.

-Okkk.... 

-Okkk.....again

-May I vomit?

-I hope you know that my mother reads my blog and you should be ashamed of yourself!

-Really? Because I always thought Juliet sounded much nicer. 

-Riccardo....why is your email address so feminine? Identity crisis?

Ok, I have a ton more messages but I'll leave that for a second post! Time to get back to work :)

Hair O'The Dog 2013 - Disco Baby!

Why are there no good gown stores in Philadelphia?? I swear I have looked everywhere from King of Prussia to Center City and nothing! I guess I will have to try my luck on the internet.

Other entertainment will be provided by Split Decision Band, DJ Enferno - performing his live remix project (Madonna's Tour DJ),  DJ Eddie Tully - Philly's Favorite, DJ Perry Angelozzi - Voted Philadelphia's #1 DJ and DJ Royale - The American DJ.

Hair O'the Dog will also be transforming the exquisite 33rd floor of The Loews Hotel into “Studio 33”. This Ultra Elite Lounge will be exclusive to those who purchase bottle service and that sponsor The 19th Annual Hair O’ The Dog. "Studio 33" will feature Philly’s #1 DJ, Perry Angelozzi, Jewelz Dancers, a full top shelf open bar, gourmet fare and more EXCITING details to come!!
