the lost series: Giving my Unsolicited Opinion

Mary Schrader, when you get married, you need to buy a dress from this Designer: Jenny Packham

Every single dress in her new collection reminds me of you.

Even the unconventional ones.

On second thought, just buy one of these gowns immediately and just wear it to get pizza. Maybe they'll give you a free one bc they think it's your "special day." :)

don't judge me

Love Story from Lunch Pail Pictures on Vimeo.

soo, i'm not really into all this wedding business the way i sometimes am.

but i watched this video all the way through.

soo, it must be, at least, cute?

don't judge me. :)

let me know if you think it's adorable, as well.

and let me just say that Lunch Pail Pictures....ROCKS.

look at how they filmed this!

amazing.

the set-up is incredible.

these are totally making my friday

by tara duff

for your funky teenage sister

i have one.

her name is Kristen, and she is Kooky.



she would certainly get a kick out of these.



obey my brain

you can buy this underwear

and believe me, you want to.

first of all, check out these photos.

these women look AWESOME.

for once...perhaps an actual role model? my biggest problem with models is that they look like suck. they look like they have ZERO life experience, and half the time, they don't even look like they remotely relate to what they're wearing.
which kills me.

i will happily buy almost anything from nice people who have a glimmer of personality. i will not buy anything from anyone who looks like suck.

so these women, being model underwear models, tickle me to death. they look AWESOME. like they can slam a few back and still make the planet a greener place. yay for cool women!




secondly awesome is the zippy posting from this etsy seller's site where she talks about her ability to make any shirt into underwear. it's silly. it's real. it's great. :)

High waisted and low waisted, super comfy and made out of t-shirts. Not only is there a seemingly limitless supply of epic eagle/wolf/motorcycle/lightning/jet fighter images out there waiting on over sized thrift store t-shirts to be converted into the cutest piece of clothing you ever covered up, but boy howdie does a slogan change in awesome ways when you move it from your t-shirt to you underwear.

These are one of a kind and made to order like every thing in my shop. In the future, I will put up pictures of t-shirts I have found for you to pick from, but for now, if you'd like a custom pair of t-shirt undies you can send me a convo with the color of undies you'd prefer, and whether you are leaning towards a snarky slogan or an epic image more, and also your measurements (hips at their widest (that's around your bottom) and waist at it's narrowest (just below your rib cage)). And then you can just trust to my taste that I'll make you something wicked cool. Because I will.

That being said, the underwear still available from the above pictures are: the angry wolves and the ymca low riders (made to fit hip size 34-38).

Oh, another awesome idea is you could send me your favorite t-shirt, and I will turn it into your favorite underwear. What do you think about that?

so, please, if it pleases you, give Slippery Slope Bloomer a convo, and get some new pantsies! :)

Not barfing

there's only so many engagement photos one can see before one begins to barf, and luckily, this series (by W. Scott Chester Photography,) found on 100 layer cake, is not one of them. :)

authenticity

found a great series of a bride keeping it real on her day.

With Love from Texas

I am a very lucky woman.

Very, very recently, a handful of people reached into my life and helped me get out of a terrible situation, a dangerous situation.

It is my greatest pleasure to tell them "thank you," and send them my love in a wonderful form.

Because, honestly, really, who doesn't like receiving gifts? :)

Gift Box #1 included two vintage bottles of Dr. Pepper, a Texas cookbook, nostalgic taffy, Texas wildflower packets, and a horseshoe, for good luck. This is for an established couple who love to garden, and are known to have cook-outs.

(My Dad grabbed the horseshoes for me--they're authentic.) :)

Gift Box #2 goes to a bad-ass woman who is today's version of Carrie-Ann Moss from the Matrix. She gets two bottles of specialty salsa, a jar of cinnamon honey butter (oooohhh sooo deeellliiiicccciiiooouusss,) two bags of novelty western candy, two nostalgic Dr. Peppers, a "Don't Mess with Texas" lighter, and a horseshoe, for good luck.

All items are obviously, authentically Texan.

Gift Box #3 goes to a rockabilly rough couple with good jobs, huge hearts, and a penchant for doing the right thing. They get three jars of salsa (actually, one is a cheese dip,) two novelty Dr. Peppers, a bag of authentic hard candy, two packs of novelty candy cigarettes, and a Texas Ranger badge. :) Adorable, right?

I had such a blast putting together these gifts. I LOVE telling people thank you by doing something delightful, something fun and happy. Now let's only hope they get them before they see this post! :)

you know who is awesome? P!nk is still awesome.

Happy Birthday Mikayla Stanley!

I have a present for you!

and it's awesome. :)

Happy 22nd Bday!

Seeing Stars (as headpieces)

I follow a bunch of wedding blogs, and i'm not ever really expecting to be surprised with the quality they produce, in terms of weddings they feature. One of them is decidedly california beach bum, and this is kinda boring, to me. It's so standard. I LOVE funky weddings, with FUNKY PEOPLE, who love to do really FUN, FUNKY things.

So when I saw this wedding on 100 Layer Cake, I was just happy as a peach. this woman is too cool, entirely thinking out of the box on this special day of hers (and his), and I loved it. You can see more (and better) pictures here at 100layercake

You'll love it too.

Well Said!

One of my daily reads, East Side Bride, just recently posted about how smoking is not sexy. The article is wonderful. Please follow the link below to an excellent blog, and an excellent post.
