Persepolis

The books Persepolis 1 & 2 by Marjane Satrapi have been made into an animated movie due to come out in the summer (I think). I LOVED the books, and I'm thrilled to say that the previews look fantastic! sooooo good!!

You can watch the trailers and read about the movie here.

modern day pooh bear

The Satorialist says she's holding a jar of herbal tea.. maybe to serve with some honey later?

bling for your gut

The Hip-Hop Truffle Collection:

"This decadent truffle combines white chocolate, Krug ® Champagne and gold leaf—echoing rap's transition from music to a culture of "bling" popularized in the late 1990s and early 2000s."

Ira Glass' Glasses

I think I want my new glasses to be just like his.

(Not that I'm getting new glasses anytime soon.)

The Mamas and the Papas: I saw Her Again

Always a good song to have stuck in your head..



ps - I saw a retroscpective about the Mamas and Papas a couple of weeks ago and developed a whole new level of love for them. You can watch it on youtube in seven parts starting here.

Watching these craft pod crafts is keeping me going at work today. Now I am considering making felt cosies for all our appliances...

The Ultimate

Kanye West: Can't Tell Me Nothing (alt. video with Will Oldham and Zach Galifianakis)

oh those red shorts!

Jon Huck: Couples

From the LA Weekly: "these decisions [with whom we partner], good or bad, seem to revolve around an inherent narcissism. Most of the couples featured share striking and undeniable physical resemblances."




I really like this exhibit, but I would've loved it if people were allowed to moved the pictures around, like playing matchmaker based soley on looks.

Jon Huck: Breakfast

The way these people start their days.

Lately, my breakfast has been a McD's biscuit and a quart of coffee. yum!
How about you?

What Bob Said

Some tech folks have digitally monkeyed with the audio in that scene in Lost in Translation where Bob whispers something mysterious into Charlotte's ear. If you want to know, here's the video::::

death and fashion

Regina is so soft I think I'm going to make her into a fur stole when she dies. She's the silkiest.

gettin' schooled

One of the MANY reasons I can't wait for season 4: more Snoop.

sexy and tough

i prefer mapquest! that's a good one too.

open source patterns

Came accross an article about open source patterns that you don't have to pay for at getcrafty. Since then I've signed up for burdastyle, have my eye on making some skinny jeans that fit my no-so-skinny butt and maybe some oven mits. The coat pictured below is lovely but I think way advanced for my level of ability on the Singer.

!!!!Minx Birthday Dance Party!!!!!

Happy Birthday, babeee!

Kelis + Andre = adorableness! with beats!!

I Choose You

I've been loving this song for months, and today (in a fit of you-tubing Andre 3000) I finally watched the video (click pic to play):



And it was only after scanning the search results that I discovered that Pimp C, one half of UGK - the other southern hip-hop duo here, passed away just a few days ago.

Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car

Yea!

Galoshes Galore

The first big not-going-to-melt-away snow hit Chicago yesterday, and I find myself wanting some galoshes. A quick online search yielded the following possibilities: polar bears from JCrew, red daisies from Kate Spade, and classic tweed from Urban Outfitters:













Then I found the motherload at Target.com: anchors, cupcakes, polka-dots, and solid pink!




Now which one do I chose?

more birthday cake

a post for Megan

Suge's use for a binder clip: scarf pin.

I grabbed this binder clip from a friend's house when my scarf was in desperate need of affixing (a fixin'?) but there wasn't a 1" button handy to steal. Since then, I've gotten lots of compliments on my clever accessorizing so I thought it was time to give credit to Ms. Butcher for her inspiration. I think she has started a bonafide movement.

beep beep!

Congratulations to Mimi for passing her driving test today!

Now hit the highway and head to Chicago, ok?

Today Is Her Birthday!!!

Let me serenade you, mimi..


I miss you and love you big time!!
