Here are some of my favs:
Ice Cream Mice
| 5 Comments on Ice Cream MiceI am listing stuff on Etsy right now for a big update, and my finger is feeling really weird from using the touch pad!!! So I opened up a random optical mouse that my Aunt Vivi picked up for me when she was in Japan. It’s pretty sweet, if you’ll pardon the pun!
Just to make this blog entry especially girlieriffic, here is a terrible WIWT photobooth shot of me in an I’m Your Present kitty tunic and ice cream necklace. Bibi and Bunny found the package that the tunic was in and started to open it while we were out. When we got home, Bibi came to greet us with a balloon in her mouth!!! She was totally busted….AS WAS I!!!! Hairy knows I have a deep and incurable problem with buying stuff from Kelly. I have a sickness, and I don’t want help!!! 😉
When you’re out of your Vulcan mind…
| 14 Comments on When you’re out of your Vulcan mind…I have a long-standing love for the Shatner as James T Kirk. I used to have pictures of him up in our living room in the Palo Alto house. I was so excited to have an excuse to make a Kirk Shirt! I was sad, though, that my shirt did not come out so well. I couldn’t get the iron-on transfer to peel correctly and it just ended up tearing and crinkling. I sound like I’m wearing a bag of potato chips. So Manda and I made a trip to Michael’s to buy better transfers (I would avoid purchasing the AMAZON brand of iron-on transfers!!!).
I thought this would be a good opportunity to wear the silver Irregular Choice space booties that I hoard but never wear. Ok, I wore them ONCE to Supperclub, but then they killed my feet after walking around the Castro and then I never wore them again. After wearing them to take a photo this afternoon, I decided that I STILL did not want to wear them ever again. Sad. I will still keep them, though. They are just too cool! They have terrible support and also make me feel too much like a space hoochie.
Next up, pics at the movie theater!
Okay, note in the next photo that Hairy is eating my Rice Krispy Treat!!!
Okay, note in THIS next photo that I have CHOCOLATE on my teef cuz I was eating, AAAND Manda is making that disgusted face cuz I was opening my mouth behind her and my mouth made a gross smacky sound. MMM mm!!
So, I am not what you would call a hardcore Trekkie, but my dad was always a fan of the Original series, and I have a fondness for its kitsch factor and popculture value. And the Shat. The Holy Shat.
I was not disappointed in the movie. When I first saw the trailer, I was like, “OMG this looks like Starship Troopers and it’s going to suck.” But then I kept hearing that people actually liked the movie. I would now put myself in that category.
We saw it at the Sundance Kabuki where you can pick your seats while you buy your tickets online. This seemed optimal so that we wouldn’t have to wait in line somewhere forever only to end up in a terrible place like the front row. Also this theater is 21+. So we had a very pleasant and grown up movie experience with fabulous seats, but I also kinda wish we saw it at the Metreon with a super rowdy and super nerdy crowd! I think I’d be hardpressed to find someone to see it with TWICE. OH wells!
Check out Hairy’s Pastry Art!
| 1 Comment on Check out Hairy’s Pastry Art!
So I have a really cool bf who is down with making pretty girlie art. I believe his pastry piece is case in point. (It needs a title!)
When we were in Hong Kong, a TON of stands at the night market were selling PILES and piles of these bread and pastry-shaped wrist pads. You are supposed to use them to support your wrist while you are using your mouse….and they also are supposed to SMELL life like. They are really squishy and I can’t imagine using them for their intended purpose. We decided to make art out of them, and Hairy handled the execution!
He took a spare canvas and painted it pink. Then he created a stencil for the brown frosting and let it drip a little. Then he glued all the pastries on along with a little doily. I think it’s pretty bad ass and now it’s in our kitchen!
Also I don’t think I ever posted a pic of our Naoshi postcards. We bought them at the Sugarcraft show when we were in Chicago. I DESPERATELY wanted an original Naoshi sand painting, but obvs I didn’t have that kind of money to throw down for art, so we picked up 3 post cards, and Hairy painted this frame sparkly pink!!!! So cool!
I have to go now and make our Star Trek shirts…..pics later!
I’ve been a-doodlin’.
| 4 Comments on I’ve been a-doodlin’.It feels very ghetto but it gets the job sorta done!! Except, my scanner blows and I haven’t found a black pen that I actually like!
There’s also the small issue of my drawings sucking a little. Perspective? PSsshhhh!!!! One of my reps described them as “child-like and mildly retarded.” Way to sell that sizzle!!!!
Many of these are not supposed to be separate. I have a master plan for them….
I am gearing up for my first Spoonflower order!
I know I am really slow to the Spoonflower craze, but when it comes to graphics and drawing, it takes me a long time to get motivated. But now I have two new projects I’d like to see completed, so Spoonflower, here I come!!
While I was scanning stuff on the floor, Bibi came up to check everything out. I thought it was so funny that she was sticking her face all up in my business, so I turned on Photobooth. I am VERY easily amused when it comes to Bibi. I find that a good thing.
