Relationship or bust

The Scenario:  You’re starting to panic a little bit.  It seems like you’ve been single FOR-EV-ER, and you’re starting to think you might be doomed to a life of celibacy, or a life of un-fulfilling dates with men who don’t do it for you.  You start to notice your thoughts as you step up to Related posts:

Discoveries

I’ve been flipping through Barbara Sher’s Wishcraft, since I’d heard about the book from Hayden, of Through the Illusion.   The point of Wishcraft is for the reader to discover who they truly are, where they truly want to be, and how to get there.   Last night, I stumbled upon a fun little exercise that Related posts:

More Beautiful Than Fiction

OMG!  *GASP!*  It’s published! (Photo and info on Blurb, or at MarkLaubenheimer.com) It started a couple months back, when I got an email from  Mark Laubenheimer.  Mark, a local (Seattle) photographer, takes gorgeous photos of normal people – untouched, unadulterated, using natural light and simple settings.  Mark needed a foreword for his newest project, and after stumbling Related posts:

HAT PARTAAAY!

AKA – An outfit post! So as you may know, the Bird’s computer died a few weeks back… and with it, went Photoshop.  I got my work station back which is excellent upgrade, but Photoshop wouldn’t let me use my product key, so  I’ve been out of luck as far as a photo editor.  I’m currently Related posts:

A Better Barbie

You may have read our Black Barbie feature last week, and specifically the comment from the CNN article we found, that said:  “‘Black women come in all shades, shapes and varieties that there is just no way to capture everyone with three dolls.” As it turns out, there IS someone who is making those varieties of Related posts:

The New Black Barbie is “So In Style”

Remember when you were a little kid and having a black Barbie was a huge goddamn deal?  There was only one girl on my block that had one, and that was me.  We played with her in hushed tones for fear of some overprotective parent saying it was weird that a bunch of white girls Related posts:

Fringe Benefits

Last night I attended the D-List release party, since this month’s mag features Jordana of Clutch-22.  I was completely enamored of this amazing fringe necklace she was wearing.  I had to ask and she told me the piece is a Norwegian Wood. Norwegian Wood is infamous for the amazing harness belts, cage skirts and crazy leggings, Related posts:

Blogging: Believe in You

This is my note to writers – as a writer we all go through periods of serious blasé when it comes to cranking out material. There’s no reason to fault yourself for this – part of creating is the ebb and flow of creative process. It can’t come to you all the time, Related posts:

Things to do Before Summer Ends

It is now August, and it seems like that’s when we start to remember the coming of Fall.  Each year, Nature closes in on itself, leaves drop, and the Earth goes into hibernation.  For the citizens of the Emerald City, it seems eminent and somewhat immediate.  The temperature has dropped about 10 degrees and the Related posts:

An Evening with Scarlet Room

I mentioned I’d had the chance to go to the Triple Door for the Scarlet Room + Vagabond Opera show and take photos.  The entire night sang of the twisted and sweet, with a hint of Old World cabaret… The band is like a fantastic mechanical doll; churning out a whirl of circus and cabaret melodies, Related posts:

Links à la Mode: Ice Cold Lemonade

Edited by Clutch 22 Compiling this week’s round up of posts hit closer to home for me. I think we can all relate to the times where stress builds up and blocks inspiration.

Breaking the System

Commence rant: I read an article about “Generation Y” (it’s a really great article – I promise) that said, “we expect to be on Twitter while taking phone calls, checking Facebook while making meetings.”   I’ve read a lot on Generation Y, recently – we’re the generation of nonconformity, self expression, excess knowledge.  We’re fun-colored hair and Related posts:

Rêve Bohème

Spring rose outside her window – buds of life began to push forth from branches. The old truck would be covered again. The sun would beat through the panes. She found herself deep in daydreams of open roads, wind whipping in her hair, stereo blaring, as the small Toyota dove and sailed through the Related posts:

How To: DIY Shoe Makeover

So I have this pair of Madden wedges that are totally cute, but that I never wear.  They’re these patent black, peep-toe, slingback, espadrille style wedge. The dilemma?  They don’t have straps, so they slide off easily.  The sling back cuts into my heel after an hour or two of wear. So I decided, with a little Related posts:

Adventurous Styling

Every once in awhile, I feel like I need to take sort of a funky, fun risk when I get dressed in the morning. Since my normal wardrobe is a sweater, thermal, or long sleeve henley and jeans or sometimes skirts, I’ve decided experimenting is THE fresh way to get over a sartorial slump. Related posts:
