Ziggy Played the Guitar.

Ok, so basically it's the same outfit as Buddy Holly only with different, pants, hair and subtract the glasses and add the make up. But I figured it's pretty f-ing awesome given that I thought of it the day of Halloween.

Leigh - "Now, if only I didn't have these boobs".

Ryan - "Please don't say stuff like that".

I love androgyny, it's usually something I strive for in my style, so it's nice to be able to go full blown on Halloween weekend. That being said I find myself to be very feminine, just walk into our apartment and you'll agree, not to mention the pedicures and Manicures I get every Month and the sweet smelling everything everywhere. But there is something to be said about feeling "Dapper" a word most women don't get to utter about themselves.

So in the spirit of Halloween and Two Dapper Gents that I greatly admire for their style and music, I will proudly dress up like a gent :)

oo ee oo I look just like Buddy Holly

Kind of.... There's only so much you can do with your own wardrobe and a timed 3 second camera. But yeah!

Enjoy!

Bubblegum Wrapper Chain

Ok, so I made it out of Magazine strips, but you get the idea. I've wanted to learn how to make one of these since high school, but for some reason never did. Thanks to www.ehow.com. I now have a new thing to occupy my hands on my commutes to and from work!

Enjoy!

The Sketchbook Project

I got my Notebook in the mail today. I signed up to participate in this project last week after mulling over the decision for a week or so. I got my very talented older sister Grace to do it too. When I finish my sketchbook and send it in in January it will be part of a tour (coming to a city near you) where people can come and flip through note books done by artists, bloggers, mothers and their children and everyone in between. When it's a part of the tour I'll get e-mails and text messages letting me know that some one has flipped though it. Pretty cool huh. Not to mention it'll be digitally cataloged into the Brooklyn Library website so people all over the world can view it for years to come.

I got to pick a theme and now I can't wait to dive in and get to sketching!...although I can't decide if I should just start sketching or really think about what kind of creation I want to make with in the confines of this sketchbook...hmmm.

You can still sign up here until October 31st. Join me!

Clothing Swap!

This isn't so much something I Made today as something I've been planning for a while and was executed with grace yesterday.

Me and a good handful of my girlfriends had a clothing swap held at mi casa! It was great fun, everyone brought some very fashionable items and everyone went home with a good amount of fabulous new loot for their closets! There was wine and cheese and a strange looking cat and so many hilarious stories that were told. I plan on doing this again after the holidays, so ladies wait until my signal before doing your post Christmas loot purging!

Enjoy!

My Bed

Yes, I made my bed.

I'm putting this up here because I'm behind in my posting because I've been cleaning and organizing for the past couple days to get ready for the clothing swap I'm holding at my apartment tomorrow. I'm Stoked. And my cat looks so cute curled up on the bed.

Enjoy!

Talking Bird

The large roll of Cork I had was not staying up well, and not wanting to nail anything else to my wall I decided to cut it down and tap it up. So far it's working!

Enjoy!
