NEW and IMMEDIATE TASK

Sarah--
I need you to post and/or email multiple inspiring things so that I have a treat to look at while I try and write 5 pages of a 14 page paper that is DUE ON TUESDAY. I need to take internet breaks frequently and having something specific from you would be a thousand times better than mindless facebook wandering.

Begin.

I know you all already know

but check out e's blog anyway!
also let me know if any of you want to guest write for it, he's usually lookin for a sci-fi aficionado or two.

Wrong Seattle!

Remember umbrella hats?  You probably can only buy them at novelty stores now, but for the most part they are multi-primary colored with a band to fit snugly around your forehead. 

When I visited Seattle there is such a demand for umbrellas and rain boots, and it made me think how tired my arm would be holding an umbrella if I lived there.  The Seattle people tried to also inform me that umbrella hats are out of style.

Well you are wrong Seattle! Straight from Yumi Katsura's Spring/Summer 2011 couture line the elegant bridal lace umbrella hat/gazebo.

Yeah, failing life.

So I just caught up on some blog reading. I saw all of Kathleen's awesome posts. I feel so failish. I just haven't done much on the weeks. I consider it an acomplishment if I eat twice in a day. Or get clothes on for more than just meals. I Fail. Blob. Blah.

nails and rings

so sometimes those beckerman bite plate gals wear things that are a leetle too wacky for even me, but i have to admit they inspire a girl to accessorize more. i consider this random ring stacking an inspiration from them. not to mention that i'm pretty sure this ancient skull ring i bought at the roanoke rugged wearhouse is a knockoff of the real alexander mcqueen ring they sometimes share among themselves.

VIctory ! ...rolls at last

okay so obviously they are not perfect, but at least they are up. i've wanted to make victory rolls for my hair for awhile now. i was especially inspired by the countless episodes of 'allo 'allo i've been watching in my bedroom. (or as gendarme crabtree would say, witching in my bidroam). i'll include some images of the french resistance girls to show off my current fashion inspirations. also inspiring me? the beginning of a school year as a poor student. elaborate hair dos were all the rage in the forties because there were clothes rations and girls had to find other ways of tarting themselves up, so my gesture is symbolic.


listen very carefully, i will say this only once: it is michelle, of the resistance!

I had pork tacos, green chile and chicken tamales, vanilla and strawberry churros and mango ice cream. also for sale were tires and those beanbag boards that you have at church parties and elementary school spring flings. weird, right?
