Hi. I'm Nadia Bacon. Times are tough but that doesn't stop me from spending my money on some dumb-ass shit.

#64 - Red shoes a clown type woman would wear - $200
And not a cool clown like Helena Bonham Carter or the preferable, Tilda Swinton (my girl!). More like a sad clown who is bad with her money and makes rash decisions.
I should mention that I bought these right after I got a check for being in a McDonald’s commercial. I don’t know the science behind it but McDonald’s is making me fat and making me buy ugly shoes subconsciously.
#63 - Care Package Full of Gummy Bears and other Candy for my Cousin Jesse in Afghanistan - $40
On October 18th, 2011 my cousin Jesse, a marine in Afghanistan expressed on Facebook that he was craving gummy bears and other American candies.
On October 30th, 2011 I sent my cousin a Facebook message asking if he needed anything else as I was going to send him a care package very soon.
On November 7th, 2011 I spent about $40 bucks on gummy bears and other American cookies and snacks.
On November 13th, 2011 I received this message from my cousin.
“I’m pretty much swimming in candy and cookies people send me but i really want stuff like beef jerky, 5 hour energies and power bars.”
On November 14th, 2011 I threw out a bunch of candy. And went to Target to buy some Beef Jerky and Power Bars.
If you want to send my cousin Jesse a care package you can at -

WooWee. This pile stinks! It doesn’t even look cool.
$203,150
#62 - Redbox’s Finest - Going the Distance & The Dilemma - $65 charged
I forgot I rented these movies (and why wouldn’t I, they’re terrible and embarrassing — Full Disclosure, I never got around to watching The Dilemma so I can not make that claim with full confidence).
I forgot to return them because well honestly who wants to be seen standing in front of a 7-11 for longer than 30 seconds. Not me, I can’t risk it. Last year, a man brought me food and bottled water when I was waiting for my brother outside of Famima!! for two minutes. I had to explain to him that my oversized slightly wrinkled army jacket was a choice, not a hand-me-down and that my shoes were very expensive.
I didn’t forget to return the dvds. I just didn’t want to do it. DON’T. WANNA. Just like sometimes I don’t wanna have to stop and put gas in my car and then my car stops working. Also, I don’t like to take chew toys away from my dogs. It makes them sad.
#61 - Botox - $280
Uh Oh. I’m aging. Call me a whackadoo, but I feel like my face shouldn’t be capable of making this federal offense.
(Botox, you are so confusing. I love giving you my dollars. I love you for what I think you can do for me. xoxo, nads)
#60 - Floppy Hat - $25
Sometimes I date cool guys. And sometimes I like to challenge those guys with this little number.
59 - Haircut by Alex in Valley Village - $don’t fucking worry about it
It went like this -
ME - “I usually cut my own hair.”
ALEX - “This kind of hair you have now. It’s not the style these days.”
ME - “Okay.”
ALEX - “Do you know Erik Estrada?”
ME - “Yes. Is this his signed headshot?”
ALEX - “Yes. I just gave him hair extensions an hour ago. Sit down. I’ll cut your hair.”
ME - “Okay.”
*I mean. I clearly got a bad haircut, right?
(sssssh … I’m sleeping with my things)
I had to stop because this shit was getting depressing. I’m back. Nothing has changed. It’s still super depressing. Hahahaha I’m poor. Oh god. I better start getting real comfortable living in this one bedroom apartment for the rest of my life because these spending habits simply will. not. quit. And now for the past due #59
Yes, I do. I’m not very good at not spending my money on crap.
I saw some bullshit in 3D. The great thing about seeing a movie by yourself is that you can leave whenever you want. Unless you’re me, in which case you like to take $16 naps across two theater seats and pretend you’re a homeless lady who is extravagant with her panhandling earnings.
#56 - Chocolate - $5
I polished off the rest of my friend’s chocolate when I was supposed to be cat sitting her … cat. I ran to the store to replace them and then I ran 10 miles to shake off the shame that comes with being a fatso.
Sorry, Courtney.
#55 - 7/11 Pizza I Tried To Buy For A Homeless Man - $2
His response - “No thank you, doll” and then he patted a bag of fruit he was sitting next to.
#54 - Another Dead Plant - Another $15
I totally forgot about another plant and it died too. This probably isn’t in my defense but I put it in a corner that I rarely go to. All I’m saying is that I remember to feed my dogs because they jump on me and make me aware of them. Would it kill these plants to get a little hustle and flair in them?
#53 - Chicken Yassa - $10
I tried to be adventurous (and impress the cute neuroscientist I was having lunch with) for once in my life and a big bowl of shit looked me right back in the face.
#52 - Dark and Lovely Deep Conditioner - $5
My hand to god, I was staying in Harlem when I bought this. I guess I must have overestimated the lack of moisture in my precious little tendrils by a long shot. I thought being half Mexican would be enough to qualify me as ”dark.” Being dark in Harlem and being dark in Orange County is like … you get it.
