This is the first time I asked Hairy really quick to take my WIWT pic before we jumped into the truck to deliver a big pile of dirt to my mom (long story). It’s kinda fuzzy cuz he used his iPhone!

Dress: “Audrey”, a purchase on sale from a little boutique in Little Osaka on our L.A. trip
Necklace: Twinkie Chan/Faeriesmak collab! (will be posted to Etsy some time next week!)
Shoes: Em&Sprout

So now I have my new dream hair picture. I saw it while looking at somebody’s MySpace page:

I have ‘fro envy. I know that’s really weird. I would actually give up pink hair if I could have a perm, but I’d have to grow out my color before perming my hair, and I don’t think I have that kind of patience!!

Okay, so Zwzzy twittered that she wish she were a friend of lions. So I photoshopped this delight in like 2 seconds:

I think she appears to be at home in the Savannah with her pride. So joyous!!

Also, I was on the hunt for some hair accessories to wear as maid of honor in my friend Margaret’s wedding in October. She asked me to find something peach-colored, so I made this collage for her to help me pick:

She picked 3 or 4. I’m picking 4 because the red picks up the color of the dresses (I know, primary red and peach are really weird colors…..there is a story behind that… plus I think I might dye my hair red for that to keep the number of strange colors down!!). Lots of people on Flickr seemed to like 3 because of the sproingy feathers, but I’ve never worn feathers in my hair before!

On Friday night, Hairy, Manda and I had Thai food in Mountain View and then saw Inglorious Basterds. It was good times. See it! I especially enjoyed the Italian hand gestures.

I’m a bit crazed right now, because I’m going to Vegas on Tuesday, just for the day, to check out the MAGIC tradeshow and to take a meeting with a company my peeps have been talking to. It was suggested that I bring some samples. But you guys know me. I don’t usually have much stock laying around, so I’ve been trying to make some purses and maybe a grapefruit scarf to bring. The clock is ticking. I best get back to work!

Here’s the four of us at Disneyland.

This might be my favorite pic from the trip: me and the little lady on the beach at Santa Monica Pier!!!

It was a reference to the fact that I feel weird about witnessing people putting their hands in someone’s butt pocket in public! I would like to state for the record that Manda started it. She’s a cheeky little monkey. Pun intended. But clearly she was too afraid to commit to the whole hand. Look at me, digging for gluteus gold!

Here’s my most genius video montage. Trust me. 6 minutes seems like a long video, but if you can make it to at least about 3:57, you’ll be greatly rewarded!!
