Mile High Glamour Part One of a million

Sigh.
How I long to live in the days where air travel was a sexy, dangerous, opulent thing. Where the passengers not only dressed to impress the stewardesses dressed to entice. I make it my personal mission to dress like a "space-age-60's-stewardess-go-go-girl" on a daily basis but how fun would it be to fly the friendly skies with these ladies

scooters and stewardesses, best combo ever

Confessions of a Superhero

Donny and I watched this jem last night. Its by Morgan Spurlock of "Super Size Me" and "30 Days" fame. Basically its a documentary about the people that dress up as super heroes and pose for pics in front of Man's Chinese Theatre. Mostly they are failed actors/actresses that still hold some dillusional hope that this will pave the way for their very own starring role. The Batman character looks like a basement version of George Clooney and claims to have come from a "very dark past" that includes mass murder, italian mobs and the such. He is quite clearly a pathalogical liar. Seriously though check this baby out. its definitley worth puytting at the top of your netflix list

Chanel Spring 08 Pret a Port

Yes, its from last Spring but these looks are too beautiful to not rehash

Oh Sofia

What could be better than Champagne in a can? nothing. absolutely nothing.

lets file this under I wish.....

I certainly wouldn't be chaining this up in the Mission. sigh.

The many men of my life

I'm the only lady in our household, maybe thats why I have to overcompansate for all the testosterone by turning the *pink,unicorn,rainbow,* quotient up to 11. Not that I'm complaining, I love my boys.

This is Donny and I, he is my husband, best buddy, and partner in crime


This is Cider, He has been with me since the begining. He is getting old now and it's hard to watch him lose his piss and vinegar, but with age comes this deep understanding and quiet love.


Oh, and this is Brock Samson. He is the newest member of our household. he is still very much in the puppy stages which can be tiresome but boy do I love him!

I got a brand new pair of roller skates

Today my buddy Jeff hooked Donny and I up with some bitchin new tattoos, I got a Demon roller skate!
A little back story for you, a few years ago I had an accident that involved my living room, a sugar glider, and roller skates. sigh, basically I was roller skating in the house while playing with the sugar gliders. The ensuing crash was heard round the word. Since then my ankle has been a constant reminder of my awesome ideas. It gets better, worse and then better again,back and forth back and forth. I thought maybe honoring my accident with a tattoo would help it heal, you know, like exorcising a ghost!

Lets see if it works

Oh and a word to the wise, there is a reason you're mom told you not to skate in the house

All things ceramic

Phew! What a week! I just got back from a whirlwind 2 part trip. Last week Donny and I went to Hawaii for some much needed time off. It was amazing, as soon as we get through the insane amount of pictures we took I'll post about it. We got home on Saturday night and then early Sunday morning I left with one of my best gals, Maya, for a little thrifting adventure (coincidentally, Maya has an awesome blog, check it out regalbeagle-vintage.blogspot.com/) We blew through Vegas, Phoenix and Flagstaff in 3 days and just got home last night. It was a lot of fun and I can not wait to share the goodies I procured.

Anywho, back to ceramics. Donny and I are obssesed with em. The weirder, uglier, and hairier they are the more we love em. If you couldnt tell by our blogs we have the collecting gene (there is one I swear!) So today I'd like to share a very small part of our collection as well as a few I found while thrifting with Maya. More to come!!

I got these Beauties while Maya and I were on the road. Just a few more unicorns (the one with the holes is an earring tree) and some other jems


This Owl was a gift from my Mom


This is a little bit of our Psycho Ceramic collection. They are by Kreiss Ceramics and usually come accompanied with funny sayings on metal or paper cards or printed on the actually ceramic




and a few of our creepy, hairy guys


Sorry for the crappy pic quality, I just got an IPhone today and really wanted to try the camera out

but before I go......

I dont have this yet but I sure do like it....hint,hint

Aloha!

Well, Donny and I are off to the beautiful North Shore of Oahu for some RRR( relaxation, raddness, and romance) I will return with a million billion blog ideas so stay tuned!


Aloha and Mahalo!

Coconut Records

I don't really listen to too much new music, my tastes generally lay in decades past. One artist however has totally got a stranglehold on my ear drums.......Coconut Records!! Its Jason Schwartzman's solo project and its absolutely divine . Its dreamy, poppy at times, totally catchy and just evokes this distinctly California sound. He has two records out now. Nighttiming and Davy. Both are fantastic but I recommend checking out his debut record, Nighttiming, first.

My Unicorn Collection Part 1 (of a million)

Its no secret that I love Unicorns.  Within 10 minutes of meeting me I'll have tried to work unicorns into the conversation in one way or another. I actively (obsessively) collect any and all forms of Unicorn clothing, ceramics, art, bongs, toys, jewelry, the list goes on and on and on...... Anyway, I thought I'd start my blog with what I know and love best. Hopefully these items will give you as much joy as they give me.  Look for more to come soon. 

Here is a fancy green ceramic lamp I found in a thrift store in Alameda Ca, and under that is a light up night light. The light is in the wood portion, the unicorn is actually blow glass and is removable. its pretty rad.



This Next piece is really special to me, It was a gift  from my dear friends Alan and Heather for my 25th Birthday. Heather, made the bag (its lined with a beautiful psychedelic glitter fabric which is the same as the rad dress she made too! Pictures soon) And Alan  painted the unicorn. Coincidentally, Alan is a bitching poster artist/painter. 



This is my favorite one of them all...... Donny made it for my for my 25th birthday. Lots of people know that Donny is an amazing artist but not many people know how good he is working in other mediums. Wood for instance. He took a "Roller Disco" pinball back glass, craved unicorns out of wood, and built a lighted Shelf around it. It rules. He even painted it pink



Well, there you have it. This is kinds fun, you know, making people in Internet land look at stuff I like. I'll be posting more often, and hopefully within time I'll learn how to actually use this thing.
Thanks for reading
