The Mock Dock

See this total stampede? Apparently, this is what French women do when H&M starts selling a new line of clothing.

I can’t imagine behaving this way unless Robbie Williams was in the store. And maybe not even then.

I think he makes a pretty fine looking astronaut.

Oh yeah – and there’s some singing in there too.

Simon Cowell got like, everyone who’s anyone, to remake REM’s Everybody Hurts to help out Haiti. The video is totally behind the music, and I don’t mean that in the way that means it gives you background and inside scoop on the song. I mean it’s literally behind. The pictures don’t go with the artist. BUT, everyone is eventually accounted for.

Most annoying line – Mariah Carey. BY FAR.

Best performance – Robbie Williams, whose line is just before the very end when the entire group sings together.

LOVE LOVE LOVE.

If I weren’t already married to the best man ever, and if Robbie Williams and David Beckham didn’t exist, then I would totally want to be married to John Krasinski. Or Paul Rudd. They are tied for 4th.

The stuff they do with the building windows – OMG. So cool. It all looks so bounce-ariffic and fun.

Except, this entire routine could be considerably improved if, instead of whatever horrible music that was they had playing in the background, they switched to, say, one of Robbie Williams’ albums.

According to this, Robbie Williams proposed to longtime girlfriend Ayda Field on an Australian radio show.  If you go to the link you can actually HEAR the proposal.  Other articles ’round the internets say it was all a joke and not REALLY a proposal, but even if that’s true, the fact of the matter remains that they are, at some point, going to marry each other.

If I were not married to Mr. Mock, I would be crying right now, as I’m sure thousands of other women are, because they realize that the 2nd hottest guy on the planet is now officially and totally off the market.

I’m choosing to believe that Robbie finally realized he had no chance with me, knew he had to move on, and is settling for 2nd best.

This started out as a really crappy day.  My sweet, precious grandpa on my mom’s side passed away early this morning.  While I’ve only seen him a handful of times in my whole life (he’d always lived in Poland), he was still my mom’s dad, and I loved him.  And there’s nothing worse than seeing your mom suffer over the loss of a parent.  Especially a mom as cute and sweet and precious and full of love as my mom.  She and Bunny will be traveling to the funeral, and Mr. Mock will be taking Mini down to see his folks in ATL.  My dad and I will be staying in Indy, along with Junior Mock.  It’s going to be a very unusual and sort of lonely Thanksgiving.

So it was a happy diversion from the sadness of the day, to not only get my Robbie Williams CD in the mail at work today, but also to come home to the most delicious pair of shoes EVER.  I promised pictures, and I don’ t like to break promises, so here you go!

THE BOX.

The DUST BAGS.

THE FABULOUSNESS.

The modeling of the fabulousness.

And you guys, listen to the sweetness that is Mr. Mock.  Because I have to spend Thanksgiving without him and Mini, he announced today that he is going to prepare us an early turkey day dinner to have tomorrow night before they head out of town.  Is that the most adorable thing you’ve ever heard? 

Somehow, I just KNOW my grandpa is looking down on Mr. Mock and smiling at the fact that his granddaughter married so well.  ‘Tis the season to be thankful indeed!

I interrupt your normally scheduled life to bring you this important news update.  Robbie Williams’ new album -  Reality Killed The Video Star –  is currently at Number One on iTunes in SEVENTEEN COUNTRIES. 

Take that, haters. 

You Know Me – Robbie Williams (Official full-length video)

Robbie Williams | MySpace Video

The full video for Robbie Williams’ new single “You Know Me” is out and it involves not only a FABULOUS song but also Robbie in a bunny suit. So, you know, a dream come true for me.

LOVE this new song. LOVE.

According to this, Robbie Williams is being given an “Outstanding Contribution to Music” Brit Award in February.  He’s already won more of those Brit Award thingies than any other artist ever, in addition to selling more than 55 million albums.  Other folks to be honored with this specific award include Paul McCartney and U2.  So, you know, people who are kind of a Big Deal.

You naysayers need to just get on the Robbie train already.  His comeback is in full swing, the alien hunt is over, and he is awesome and perfect and BACK.

Today is a good day.
