Lucite Heels and I will never be one

I've always been of the mindset of "work with what you've got," so I'm finding it a little unnerving that I have a sudden interest in fake hair, and fake nails.
Realistically though - something like this is completely unattainable, and it makes me lust for them that much more:
I can hardly paint my nails (on a good day) without the finished product looking like I did them in the dark, on the back of a motorcycle - so why not venture into the land of acrlylic?!
It's not like I'm going to try them on once, and suddenly take a turn down FAB-U-LOUS lane.....right?! I tend to think that my stylish taste falls on the "dainty, and refined" side of the spectrum. PLEASE ADVISE IF I'M DELUSIONAL AND HAVE STUMBLED STRAIGHT ONTO GHETTO BOULEVARD!

Same goes for my fascination with fake hair....I'm not looking to attach a mongoose to my head, and exit a salon looking this this:
Think more this:ok...bad example!
Miami beach babe is not a look I'm going for - I just admire their dedication to the look they've chosen for themselves.
The countless hours it must take to keep all of that shit from falling off?!
You've impressed at least one person who could never pull any of it off!

And believe me, if ever I build up enough courage to try one or the other, I'll be self-concious enough for the two of us whenever I'm out in public, for fear that something would unhinge, unbeknowst to me (re: toupé in the wind)

Words I would like to banish from a young person's vocabulary (EPISODE ONE)


1. Random
Ran-dom[ran-duhm] – adjective
proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern: the random selection of numbers.

Example: "OMG LINDSAY! DID YOU SEE THE THE SHOES TYRELL WAS WEARING WITH HIS AMERICAN APPAREL HOODIE TODAY!?!?! SO RANDOM!!!"

Example: "OMG JANELLE! YOU ALWAYS COME TO PARTIES WITH THE MOST RANDOM DRINK!! I MEAN...RED BULL, AND CRANBERRY!?!?! RAAAAAANDOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!"

Every second word out of their mouth is proclaiming how random, and different they're being. SHUT UP - YOU'RE ALL WEARING THE SAME UGLY-ASS BOOTS, AND HIDEOUS BOHO HEADBAND THAT MAKES YOUR FOREHEAD LOOK UNDERDEVELOPED!!"

The tax return that's never coming is going towards one of these...

Something you may not know about me yet:
I like to bake.
Whenever there's a free moment in the day, and I'm not tackling a mountain of laundry, I'm baking.
I'm the first to pipe up if there's a function, and a baked good is required.
And if there are no functions - I'll suggest one, just so I can push myself into the kitchen, and create some hilarious looking frosted creation.
I will say that I'm not the most skilled baker in the world (re: anyone that witnessed my attempt at making a "cactus cake"), but I haven't given up trying. And when I stumbled upon the Clara French site, it made me want to try even harder to make a cake pretty enough to be placed on one of these stands.
I couldn't dream of a more perfect batch of cake stands if I tried!!!!!!!!
This site is an absolute beaut.
The music is perfectly chosen, and the products are beyond words.
Please indulge my fascination/obsession for a moment:

I could snooze through an entire Alice in Chains set NO PROBLEMO - but why have the heavens chosen September 18th (OF ALL DAYS!!!!) for hunk central (hello again Mr. Marino - it's been so long since I've spoken about you) to land at my doorstep.
DON'T THEY KNOW THAT THAT WILL BE THE DAY THAT I ATTEMPT TO GUSSY MYSELF UP, TROMP DOWN THE AISLE, AND MARRY THE MAN OF MY DREAMS!?!??!
I wonder what my ultra conservative mother would do if I somehow bribed Mastodon into crashing the reception.

"Dudes, I know I promised an open bar - but I'd really love it if you'd stop pressuring Aunt Fran into doing keg stands!"

Rollins and Danzig Fantasy Couple

My favourite friend Anna found this, and I will be over the moon with it for probably another week and a half. YOU'VE MADE MY SATURDAY, TACO BELLA!

c/o blogs.laweekly.com

​Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig are in a loving, committed relationship. Henry (who sometimes looks like Chester Gould's Dick Tracy) loves Glenn dearly, even if occasionally his anger issues get in the way. Glenn keeps a journal about his ambitions and projects, like being in a band wearing corpse-like makeup ("Just be yourself!" recommends Henry). Oh, their neighbors are Hall & Oates, who are just your average neighborhood Satanists with a penchant for D&D.
This is the premise of Henry & Glenn, the new minicomic by art collective Igloo Tornado presented last week at Silverlake's comics mecca Secret Headquarters.
The minicomic, of course, is an unauthorized work of fantasy, but so are the "official" personas of Rollins and Danzig. What the Igloo Tornado guys have done is turned an old metalhead parlor game ("who would win a fight? Danzig or Rollins?") into clever slash fiction, a non-explicit graphic novelette.
Allegedly, when Henry Rollins was shown an earlier version of the minicomic, his reaction was to ask if Glenn had seen it yet. Rollins thought Danzig would have been less than amused.
You can also buy originals and prints of Igloo Tornado's Henry & Glenn at Secret Headquarters.
Wanna see a HOT, REALISTIC COUPLE MOMENT between Henry & Glenn?:

I'll be in the in-between stage for an eternity!!!!





Realizing that headphones at work are an option open up a world of possibilities for me.
SORRY COWORKERS, I'M CATCHING UP WITH 2008 - I'LL BE BACK IN A WEEK!!!!!!!

And before I take off - CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING ONE OF THESE LADIES!?!?!
I'm hoping to come back in another life as one of them:

Don't pretend like you've never stood in front of a mirror and tried to do what these ladies are pros at!!! And if you really haven't yet tried it - IT'S NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
