Value You

Do you ever toot your own horn, and then almost immediately panic – as if what you’ve done might not have been such a good idea? It’s like submitting a resume and then promptly experiencing some sort of terror that you’ll fail at what you’ve just submitted your resume for, or worse – you’ll Related posts:

Outfit: Menswear

I loooooove menswear. I think it started when I was a window dresser for a certain large retailer and we had to think creatively about ties. Menswear may seem boring, but when used in a way that seems out-of-the-box, it packs quite the punch. (Fantastic Photocollage found on The Other You) Diane Keaton’s outfit here Related posts:

Outfit – 11/7/09

AGES ago, I got tickets to see Ghostland Observatory at Showbox Sodo.  I’d heard of them off and on, and only just started REALLY listening when the tickets came out.  They play a notoriously fun show so naturally, I was excited to have tickets!

Eyelashes… At Dramatis Personae

So the other day, Ashe and I were talking about this and that, and the topic turned to eyelashes. I have so many friends who’ve asked for an eyelash tutorial, so when Ashe mentioned it, I decided someone needed to write a tutorial on how to appy the faux eyelashes – and it was Related posts:

Wave Goodbye: It’s Not As Much Fun to Pick Up the Pieces…

A load of Nine Inch Nails fans got the shaft with Music Today’s paperless ticketing tactics for the “Wave Goodbye” Tour. ♦ ♦ ♦ It all started when Rez (Trent Reznor) announced that Nine Inch Nails would not be touring after a last round of shows titled the “Wave Goodbye” tour. He said that after 20 Related posts:

Weekend Update: Concert Reviews

Hello muffins! Let’s talk about Spygirl, who played the International Pop Overthrow Festival: I’d never been to the Mars Bar before, but I know it’s not a big venue.  When we got there, Spygirl had been playing for about 3-4 minutes.  When I walked in, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect but on a quick survey Related posts:

This weekend was full of music – I had the Flaming Lips show on Friday and that Spygirl + International Pop Overthrow Festival thing on Saturday.  Before I get to the reviews, though, I want to talk to you – dear readers – about concert etiquette.  I feel like it’s something I shouldn’t have to Related posts:

Wholestyle Manifesto

Your personal style is made up of so many more factors than what you wear, how you dress, or what color your hair is that day.  While talking about this, Jaka – from Jaka’s Tea Party – and I drafted up an idea of wholestyle.  Jaka wrote it out and it ended up like this: ========= The Related posts:

Thoughts on “Fame”

It’s not every day that one sees the hard work and the real-life story behind people whose name has become a buzzword.  To me, this fact is primarily why I’m constantly amazed by how people view the famous and infamous.

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:

Behind the Scenes: Alabaster

We met at the Unicorn on the Cob show at Waids in Seattle – I was zipping around with my camera and Alabaster was there rocking out.  We happened to cross paths and Kate from Alabaster (she’s in the red shirt with the vest) mentioned they needed some photos.  I had some free time, so Related posts:

June 18th at the Triple Door – Scarlet Room!

I heard this band at my friend Jason’s Puzzle Party and was THOROUGHLY impressed.  Imagine yourself as Alice, falling into Wonderland as images of toothy grins and Cheshire cats, formed of smoke, go flying by.  To have Scarlet Room at the Puzzle Party was befitting of their music, and I have a feeling their show Related posts:
