Super Bowl XLVII: Like Bambi's Mum Cheering For the Gun

As a diehard Steeler fan, this Super Bowl is basically a lose/lose situation. Either our arch rivals, the dirty birds  Baltimore Ravens win or the San Francisco 49ers take the championship and tie our record for the most Super Bowl wins. I thought I'd never see the day when I'd cheer for the Ravens to win anything much less the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh Dad puts it perfectly. Steeler Nation cheering for the Ravens is like Bambi's mum cheering for the gun...

It's the Steez, B'z!

Here's my Pittsburgh Steelers showing off their fierce bumble bee  throwback uniforms! At first, I thought these jerseys were a tad ridiculous but I quickly reminded myself that I love things that aren't commonplace. The unis are inspired by the 1934 team (then, called the Pirates). The Steelers are celebrating their 80th season this year!

PINK Loves the NFL!

Football season is back & that means it's time to stock up on some new Steez gear! I love Victoria's Secret's PINK Loves the NFL line. It has so many adorable things. I'll be sure to pack these tops in my suitcase when I head to Arizona in October for the match-up against the Cardinals! Here We Go! :)

I Got The Voodoo For You Bitches

In this intimate look into one of my facebook chats, a Baltimore Ravens enthusiast (also a friend from college), admits that Pittsburgh Steeler fans travel better than anyone. I was discussing how New Orleans looked like Pittsburgh last October with all the yinzers in town for the game, Voodoo Fest & Halloween. It was more black & yellow than black & gold on Bourbon! I can't wait to go back! Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Super Steelers!

Last night, my Steelers fell to the Green Bay Packers 31-25 in Super Bowl XLV. It was an exciting game but it didn't end the way Steeler fans would have wanted. But I wasn't as heartbroken as you might imagine. I am a die hard Black & Gold girl but I was content with the result. I've cried when the Steelers lost many an AFC championship game but this loss felt easier. The Steelers were never supposed to make it to the big stage this year, but they did. I have been so spoiled as a Pittsburgh sports fan- especially during my 20s. I know the Steelers will be back to the Super Bowl and this shortcoming should gives us movtivation for next year.

One complaint I do have is with the host city of Dallas & FOX. They couldn't help that the weather sucked but they weren't prepared to deal with it. They sold 2,000 tickets to people who paid big bucks to be there- only to turn them away at the gates because the stadium could not accomodate them. WHO DOES THAT?! FOX's cameras are ridiculously bad, that stupid robot needs to go and how about trying to get a scoreboard graphic that's large enough to actually read? Oh, and try showing the FANS at the game rather than your republican agenda George Bush & company or lame celebrities. There were practically no close-up shots of fan reactions. It was an awful production.

If the Steelers had to lose, I'm glad it was to an organization like the Green Bay Packers. If the Steelers weren't in the game, I would have cheered for the Pack. Afterall, their head coach is a Pittsburgher! I think we played a tremendous second half but unfortunately gave the Packers 3 of their touchdowns from turnovers. I hope that there isn't a lockout in the NFL next season- I have plans to travel to the west coast for the first time for an away game! We will keeping knockin' on 7's door until the Lombardi trophy comes back to Pittsburgh! I'm proud to be a Steeler fan & I always will be! HERE WE GO!

PLAYOFFS!

The Terrible Towel!

In less than an hour, my beloved Steelers will host the dirty birds...cough, the Baltimore Ravens! The winner will head to the AFC Championship either at New England or here in Pittsburgh (depending on the outcomes). It has been a great season and I'm looking forward to this matchup!

To show my Steeler spirit, I painted my nails black- I wasn't in the mood to paint them yellow or gold this week. I chose Essie's Licorice which is a beautiful, opaque black. Below are a couple snapshots from my webcam. Licorice only took 2 coats but it was opaque after just 1! I first heard about this polish in a magazine. Makeup creator and icon, Bobbi Brown listed it as her favorite!
