Megan's Rules for Dating Boys in Bands

Y'all should definitely take a look at Megan's post about dating boys in bands/band boys. There's some sage advice there which all of us should take to heart.

The picture is Brian Wilson, the ultimate band boy and also a current object of my obsession. Figures.

Baby Babycakes

I think we should pick one of these suckers and launch a campaign to name it Babycakes. Which one do you think is most capable of representin'?

I'm liking #12. She seems like she's up for a good time.


Yoinked from CuteOverload, naturally.

Erika

She's like my favorite Barbie Doll I never had.

Bouncy Babies

Oh knitty!

It finally feels like winter. The canal is open, there's snow on the the ground and all I want to do is stuff my face with mac 'n' cheese...oh, and I feel like knitting.

Spot the Cats!

I dare you to be depressed - part III

Scissor Sisters and the Jim Henson farm creatures. The singing watermelons and dancing eggs are totally cute overload.

This is what is waiting for me when I climb up my ladder into bed. He's like a gator!

Blades of Glory

And because they aren't featured in the trailer near enough, here's a still of Amy Poehler and Will Arnett-

I hope you're checking the skates.

catch-up 3

With the all the scrimping and saving for the new house, I had spend no $$ on any frivolous stuff (gifts don't count) for months. Until very recently....

3) TREATS FOR ME!!


There was a mega sale at in the basement mall at my work at *ARDENE* so uh I went apeshit on the headbands. (The pink cheek is frostbite; it has hit -25-30 in these parts)

They where on sale...I couldn't resist.

Minx forced me to purchase this sweater...good thing too cause it gets heavy rotation.

catch-up 2

Well now here is something we all love.

2) CATS ! CATS

Hugo on Sophie in one of the rare shoots where you can see his face.


Hugo on Susie. Naw...they match!


Sophie, good lord, being most adorable.

Hugo loving the water tap, first cat I ever had that gets in the shower with me. Aqua Kitty !!

Charlotte Pitou kittène of the Florence St. house. Hugo's sister.

catch-up 1

When you're talking on LD on the horn, sometimes it is hard to relay all there is.... so m'dear Suge here is a 3 part visual catch-up.

1) NEW FURNISHINGS :

This is one of the chairs we bought in Hamilton around the yule tide season. We also bought a couch that looks kinda like this but in way brighter royal blue that is still in Hamilton cause we didn't have enough space in the rental car to bring it.
Now these here lovely Harlequins I presented to Howie on his birthday. Well it sort of goes I bought them the day before his birthday, felt bad about spending the $$ and so thence they became part of his birthday bundle. He really dislikes them, but he like his real presents so it's okay. Although somewhat creepy, I'll admit, I think they are beauts.

Fashionista

Fashionista is a new fashion blog published by Elizabeth Spiers, who I think was the originial editor at Gawker. I have high hopes of it being a new daily distraction, but it hasn't quite hooked me yet. However, there are a few items that are encouraging me to come back for more.

One is this tutorial for making your own faux Chanel Balck Satin nail polish, a limited edition color that I wasn't too interested in before. But now that I know how to fake it with Wet & Wild, I'll give it a whirl. Maybe on my toes.


The second item is a promised recurring feature called Streetwalker, which is a bit like the Satorialist meets Hel-Looks, but with more commentary.




The third reason I feel the need to keep checking this blog is kind of a personal one. One of their very first posts is about a new m&m website that allows you to design your own character. The personal tip: An old, old friend of mine is part of the ad team who's been making this website for over a year. I'm seeing his commercials all the time, but I never expected his marketing onslaught to get me in my frivolous fashion reading. Guess I was wrong.

Anyway, here's Fashionista's m&m version of Anna Wintour:


And here's my version of me, stylin' and profilin':

Hel Is for Children

Reko (11) and Jere (12)


Max (12)

Hot Haute

The Dior spring 2007 couture collection is absolutely stunning. Fashion rarely excites me anymore, but Galliano's genius literally took my breath away. Galliano said he was inspired by "Pinkerton's affair with Cio-Cio San, Madame Butterfly". I think this collection is what Madame Butterfly and Rachael's love child would wear.

Queen Bee

I don't think we've posted this video yet. I can't watch it now as I have lots of librarians around me, but I'm definitely gonna watch it later. Conicidentally, I checked the book out from the library today. I had no idea it had so much content! Hefty, indeed.

Get Your Papers in Order

This reminds me my passport expires in a couple of months.

Maybe my new one will have one of those RFID tags in it.

Maybe they'll fingerprint me.

ooo ooo! Maybe they'll take a retinal scan!
