welcome to elaney!

Love it or hate it?  We’re sorry, but Lady Gaga’s new song is just no “Poker Face.”  And we wish that it was…especially on the eve of our Latin travels.  We’re cooking Mexican lasagna and spending all our travel budget on tropical temperate attire…but “Alejandro” is just not caliente enough for us.

It’s not horrible…just not the Gaga we’ve come to love. What do you think?

Little Lady Gaga on a rainy Friday?  Yes please!

Okay readers…love it or hate it?

Jeggings, we’ve decided…we want your love.  We want your ugly.  We want your (fashion) disease.  We want your everything. As long as it’s free (emum?).  A nice girl at Anthro recommended these jeans-leggings two weeks ago, and while it was sort of fun to prance around in the dressing room in them, we just couldn’t pull the trigger.  1) you have to feel gooooood about yo body to wear these and 2)  they are pretty ridiculous.  However, Kell on Earth was talking about them this week (don’t think anyone who has seen Kell on Earth is going to wonder what elaneymedia.com might think about Bravo’s new wonder), so…done.  You can’t be in your twenties forever.  Why not?  What do you think about jeggings?  Do you want their ugly or do you think they’ll lead to a Bad Romance?

And…it’s here!  The post you’ve all been anxiously awaiting and emailing about (especially you Readers K-Mart Krieg and CharMar), the annual new year new you work out mix (and here and here).  This year, you’ve requested the hottest of the Top 40, and you know we can rattle them off.  The best according to elaney:

• “Tik Tok” – Ke$ha (with lines like “Wake Up in the Morning Feelin’ Like P.Diddy, she makes white girls proud…”umtalkinbout” this song is ammmmmazing!!!)
• “Replay” – Iyaz
• “Give It Up to Me” – Shakira (like we said, “Whenever, Whereever” she comes out with another song that sounds like all her other songs, we will listen)
• “Meet Me Halfway” – Black Eyed Peas (this song kind of makes you want to stomp around)
• “Empire State of Mind” – Jay Z (you may have to love NYC for this song to “inspire you,” but if you get it, es goo)
• “That’s Not My Name” – The Ting Tings (we know we should be tired of this by now, but we’re not!)
• “Bad Romance” – Lady Gaga (she can’t miss – and we’re trying to keep this list current, but feel free to add “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” “Paparazzi,” and Disco Stick)
• “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart” – Alicia Keys (little 80′s beat gets us every time)
• “3″ – Britney Spears (don’t want to be disloyal to the girl who taught us to love pop, but this one made it on by the skin of it’s teeth)

Enjoy!

Reader shawtygetlow is desperate for a perfect costume, and she can’t think of anything to meet her expectations.  The experts say there will be a lotta Lady Gaga this Halloween.  What are you dressing up as this year?  What’s your favorite costume you’ve seen?

Oh no you de’ent.  As everyone knows, we L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O-V-E Lady Gaga and despite Kanye’s recent indiscretions, we love Kanye (eLanye is our hip hip alter ego).  And they are coming to ATL on December 11th!!!  Dear Santa, we have been good.  Please give us tickets to Lady Gaga and Kanye’s “Fame Kills” tour!!!
