Zombie Friday Kahlo
A good book and some pumpkin spice latte art.
Lost goods on Flickr.
Not so funny little story.
Other day I was going to class and couldn’t figure out where the heck I put my lunch. I cleared out my entire car and still didn’t find it.
I figured this was another one of those times where I had left the tupperware on the roof of my car and drove off, only to leave it behind in the dust.
Nope. Got in my car the next morning, and bam! a nasty smell hit me. Turns out I, in my haste, had placed it in that strange area between trunk and backseat I otherwise like to call trunkseat.
I might be the most absent-minded person ever. Out of sight, literally out of mind.
Stripping with Flowers on Flickr.
Sewing is NOT like riding a bike.
You don’t just keep fucking up and then all of a sudden get it right and sew for dayyyyyys.
It’s very technical.
I have a lot of stripping to do with a lot of different prints tomorrow for my little quilt-on-crack that I be making.
Lots, lots, lots of crazy green prints. It’s is, after all, my favorite color. :)
San Pellegrino Citrus Summer on Flickr.
Whoever designed this packaging for San Pellegrino deserves a raise, because the packaging looks REFRESHING.
None of this modern sans-serif bullshit. It’s very Stella lemon-print-y, yes? Or are Stella McCartney’s citrus prints very San Pellegrino?
Batty Toes … har har har on Flickr.
How fucking rad is my Auntie Moo?! She does her own pedi’s and tricks them out with holiday-appropriate decals! Jealous.
Need to do my nails this weekend in time for Halloween!

This, too, was at my grandmother’s house.
Naturally, I snapped a picture and sent it to Nohea. LOL, I miss her and I’m craving chocolate. Sad pandas who need spaghetti in their lives …
Off to Grandmother’s House We Go on Flickr.
I love these napkin holders my grandmother used to make us set the table with when I was a child. We each had our own animal to use.
Tell me these aren’t amazing?!
She asked me if I wanted them, but I’ll have to wait to collect on this offer until I move.
tech-salvation: entering purgatory
So, Pretty Birds, old laptop works, thanks to a couple of tech savvy guys whom I paid a minimal amount of money.
But it hardly works. Like if this was a automobile, if would be a jalopy. If this…
Lady in the Yellow Dress on Flickr.
Birds, doesn’t getting your computer fixed make you want to do all kinds of wacky dance moves?
Amen for being able to fool around on the computer now, courtesy of stolen neighbor’s internet.
All of this makes me want to smile and wear yellow, but it’s fall, so tomorrow I’ll settle for a creme cashmere and a burnished orange scarf.
Amen. Halllllllelujah.
Studs and Charcoal on Flickr.
The thing is, once you admit that you hate art in it’s most common forms, the whole world wants to turn against you and proclaim you a soulless scoundrel. Once you tell people that their opinion on art doesn’t matter to you, you become a snobby bitch.
Doesn’t change the fact that I still hate realistic portraits and tacky charcoal still-lifes. Doesn’t change the fact that I don’t value the majority of people’s opinions on the ever-engrossing playground of “art.”
Just because someone draws “well” doesn’t mean their work is of any merit. What’s “good” and what’s “bad” would really be decided by subject, right?
So, even though I’m a so-called “artist” type, I kind of hate art- and all the pretentiousness that is assumed once one takes on this glorified, false-libertine title.
Perhaps that is why I enjoy fashion so much? It’s designers’ “art” applied to a more personal, intimate canvas, your body.
I don’t want to draw myself, but if I have to draw myself, I’ll draw myself eating a hot dog. And this Sunday, I’ll draw my brother’s girlfriend eating a pickle. Because if I’m going to have to hate art, then I’m going to hate it in the manner that I hate things best: laced with overt psycho-sexual innuendo that people are not quite sure what to think of it. Especially not when they realize that a woman, a staunch feminist, no less, drew these images.
Duh.
Winggggs! on Flickr.
Haven’t gotten my Halloween costume together, but you best believe it will (forever and always) involve winnnnnnngs!
Spinach Quiche and Pimosas on Flickr.
Need a breakfast like this in my life-slash-belllllly, but it’s only 1:55 PM, and I just ate so I can’t rationalize eating again so soon. LOL.
Let Us Eat Cake! on Flickr.
This cake was really good. Going to make one tomorrow? Yessssss.
