    Incongruencies of body art?

    timourous, i LOVE your tattoos! it's odd though... i've thought of getting a classic tattoo with certain morrissey lyrics, and in my head it looks almost exactly like your ted leo tattoo! i think i'm going to go with a different motif than birds though, since the lyrics/title i think i've...

    Remix Shoes!!

    Sunny, i really like the "maryjane" style! i have the doublestrap bone/brown ones, and i always feel dressy when i wear them. also, i haven't worn them much because i always feel like they clash with stuff. so maybe something that's not two-tone would be a little more versatile. i've...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    hey kim, are those capris by Lee? if they are, here's a warning, if you didn't already buy them... i got those last summer, and they're already so faded out that i won't even wear them. if you get em, i recommend washing them on cold, delicate, to preserve the original color! i should mention i...

    Bonnet Hair Dryers

    i just purchased a bonnet drier from the 60s at work the other day. i know it's been tested and won't blow up on me, but i have no idea how it's going to actually work! it does have a built-in "nail dryer". i'll let you know how the contraption works, after i'm done moving into my new place and...

    scentology

    mmmm, that slightly musty smell. i love it! now that i think of it, i've also read that d-land doesn't even sell popcorn, or other snacks that are horridly messy. it's been several years since i've been though, so i can't remember. and to stay on topic..... i've never tried the...

    I HATE EBAY....

    i agree. i ran into this SO MUCH when i was buying some doohicky for my laptop. they would charge 99 cents for the item... and $35 for the shipping! to make it look like you were getting a great deal on the item! and it was the type of seller who has 100 of something to sell, so basically...

    Incongruencies of body art?

    do it!!! not only would that be adorable, but it's rad to get something you've wanted for a long time. my dance tattoo is the one that almost a decade ago i said, "if i ever wanted to get a tattoo, that's what i want it to be!"

    Plus Size Vintage

    lindylady, it's never too late to learn to sew! sewing machines can come REALLY cheap on craigslist or at a thriftstore, as can fabric, patterns to practice on, and sewing books. classes are pretty easy to find at adult ed centers and community colleges, or you can teach yourself! :)

    Happy Easter to one and all!

    a few years ago my dad told me that he and my mom always made a list of where the real eggs were hidden, so they could make sure that wouldn't happen! we always got to hunt for real eggs, and fake eggs with candy, little toys, or coins inside :)
