Envy of all






Pictures courtesy of livejournal.com/community/ohnotheydidnt


The above pictures are from Tim Burton's Harper's Bazaar layout. These costumes cost a few thousand, but will get you many envious looks. I'm totally in love with all of them. I couldn't post the rest, but the website is available underneath the pics.

I'm not one to take Halloween seriously. Although,if the above costumes were available to me, I would be happier than a pig in shit.

If you haven't noticed all are based off of his movie characters.

Instant Poof

I was at a friend's house last night and the commercial for Bumpits kept showing. I mean literally everytime the show breaked for commercial it came on. It was like they were trying to brainwash me into buying it. Well, it looks like it may have worked. I'm very curious.

I've never bought anything off television before. (Somehow I have a feeling Bed Bath and Beyond will be carrying this soon)

I do like to have volume in my hair, but weather here does not permit. Not unless you have an economy size backcomb spray from Big Sexy. It takes me at least 3-4 days of not washing my hair to get it poofy after teasing. This of course requires planning.

Back on topic...

Bumpits look easy. At least it does on television. Check out the instruction below:

They have like a buy one get one free special. If it turns out well, I may pass it on :) Otherwise, don't be surprised if you open my Christmas gift to you and you find this.

So 90s

Nylon Magazine recently posted, on their FB account, a story on deep purple lipstick.

I must say I was so happy to hear this may be coming back. This shade was my first color of choice way back in high school. I feel this will replace the red shade I used to wear. I will always love you red, but purple has always been my first. <3

It's very nineties with the plaid shirts, ripped shorts and Doc Martens. Oh the memories. The shade I used to wear is still available at your local Walgreens/CVS, Revlon-Black Cherry, more <3.

It doesn't have to cost me more than $10.

Lost and not Found

This site is confusing. I can't figure out the whole following other blogs. I manage to somehow do it, but I can't remember how. I just click click click.

I will become at expert, eventually.

Now I'm off to eat my room service.

Hipsterism






Degrees of hipster has been the topic for the last few days. I'll admit that we are somewhere in between barely hipster to full blown out hipster. Heck, I just got my hipster bike in today. I'll even add a basket.

Totally hilarious website. I do fall into a few of the descriptions. The husband calls me a hipster. To that I reply, " To a certain degree".

Now off I go on my bike to a coffee house to read my Nylon mag and smoke Parliaments.

Not your ordinary nerd

As of this year, I've read roughly around 13 books. I am so happy to pick up my hobby once more. Most of the books I've read are Sci-Fi/Fantasy. I've always had an intrest in this genre, but never really went full force. Now, I've gone berserk. I must note, though, that I do read murder/mystery novels to get me out of fantasy land.

I just finished "The Way of Shadows" by Brent Weeks. The Night Angel trilogy about assassins in a magicaland. There are witches, magic and fantasy creatures. The author is very descriptive to the point where I see myself skipping over a few lines. I did get confused a little about where certain cities where or what order the government were. After catching on, it's a pretty fun ride.


So now that's finished. I switch on over to "Lost Souls" by Poppy Z. Brite (this book was recommended to me). Totally opposite of the former. A vampire story with crazy ass characters. There are gay scenes and incest. If you are ok with that, then this book is a fun read. It's a dark and emotional read, that I welcome it. It's so different from what is currently out there.






I've been lucky to have found books so opposite of each other. It keeps me wanting more and my imagination flying.

Est. 2007

Who know I had this page for 2yrs. After reading several of my friends pages, I realized that I created a page as a wedding site. It was to inform our friends and family any new updates on our wedding. Well, it never happened. It sounded like a good idea at the time.

I've always enjoyed writing blogs. Let's see if I can tap into it again. In the meantime, check out my new purchase:

Eeek! I can't wait to ride around Montrose with it. I will be adding a basket later. I will be purchasing a lock soon. Thievery is common in this area.
