Well, You See, I Like My Sketchers... But I LOVE My Prada Backpack

I recently found this video list of things that Paris Hilton likes and loves on Jezebel.com. Here at Pop Culture Paradox, we take our list making very seriously. Plus, Paris Hilton inspired us to do something other than have a few martinis, and that doesn't happen often. So, without futher adieu, here is the Pop Culture Paradox list of likes and loves.

Likes:

• Snow-cones and other summertime non-dairy concoctions, as seen in this Jezebel.com image
  
• VitaminWater10 (All the flavor, 1/5th of the calories!)
  
• Facebook's "Living Social" top 5 lists (It's like my life is a neverending loop of 'High Fidelity')
  
• Sailboats (And anything else that epitomizes New England)
  
• Sharpie markers (No one can tell me that they're not useful)
  
• Annie's Organic Mac & Cheese (Try the alfredo flavor in the green box! Yum!)
  
  

Loves:

• iPhones (My clear obsession)
  
• Discount designer shopping (Case in point, my new job with Rue La La - need an invite to be a member? Join here!)
  
• Delicious Mexican food from Anna's Taqueria in Boston, MA (I recommend the quesadilla with EVERYTHING on it)
  
• NYMag's Daily Intel and The Cut (An every morning must-read!)
  
  

And just for fun, what do we hate here at Pop Culture Paradox?

• Overcrowded MBTA subways (Thanks Green Line for making my life miserable)
  
• The fact that the Boston Globe might be no more (Please no, I refuse to live in a city where the Herald is the only circulating newspaper)
  
• Sales that don't really feel like sales (like these 'discounted' Louboutins at Saks - I scoff)

My Top 5...

(photo courtesy of my personal Facebook - and in advance, no you cannot have my full name and no I will not friend you)

While I lament at many of Facebook's current changes (Why does it look like Twitter? Why does it seemingly want me to comment on every single status, photo and update? Why do wall posts and status look the same? Why does this new layout suck so much?), the one thing that the new Facebook ushered in was the beauty that is the LivingSocial application. After seeing just about every single one of my five hundred and some odd "friends" add it, I decided I'd give it a try - and I'm hooked. It's like crystal meth for list makers.

My top 5 TV shows (Gossip Girl, The OC, Sex & The City, Dawson's Creek and Friends - respectively.

My top 5 restaurants (The Clam Box, East Coast Grill, OSushi, PF Changs, Boston Beer Works).

My top 5 beers (Sam Adams Summer Ale, Blue Moon, Corona Light, Harpoon Raspberry UFO, Sam Adams Light).

My top 5 movies (Fever Pitch, Clueless, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Reality Bites, Roman Holiday).

I can't stop. My Facebook wall is filled with my top 5 of everything. I apologize for my Facebook friends that have to look at this on their newsfeed, but I can't stop. I wonder what my top 5 colors are....
