Feathers, Flowers, Fringe and Fun

So everyone knows i am so for the idea of wearing...something... in our hair for cousin's wedding next june. it'll look just killer cool with our beautiful faces!!! here are some ideas that i found while i was fishing around on my lazy friday:

I like the last one especially.

ohana means jack shit

so i get a text from someone mass texting everyone in their phone saying that their number has changed, and i texted back asking "who is this" and then after that i got the second part of the text that said that it was david perkins. then my retard father texts me saying " gee thanx. if you read the whole text you would know it is just one of the 2 people that helped bring you into this world."

ASS. i wanted to say, yeah you brought me here but definitely didnt do shit to keep me alive. i freaking hate that i share half of my genes with this immature douche bag. he acts like its my fault we lost touch, that it's my freaking fault HE moved all over the freaking united states and never called me. yeah, what's a six year old to do? how the crap am i supposed to know who it is when he texts me from some random number once every other year?

ugh.

rant over.

Bright Lights, Shiny Disco Balls

Wow so it's been a while since I last looked at this thing. It's been pretty busy working here in Detroit. Right now there are two categories of people: The hordes of those that are laid off, and the hordes of those that have to pick up the 3, 4, 5 extra workloads of the people who were laid off. That's me.

Luckily, things have been winding down here at the offic

e so I am taking it upon myself to blog again. And this particular post is a little shoe oriented because one of my boochie cousins is getting married and I have the very delightful task of helping figure out shoes. I know I have shoes on the brain most of the time as it is, so this shoe finding task fits expediently into my shoe obsession.

A lot of the Fall 08 shoes have been geared towards texture, texture, texture. Delightful. While suede has always been the go to material for fall, there are so many more options this year:

Also, let's not forget about how animal print has always been such a cold weather staple:

YSL

Alaia

Happy Fall!

i need a drink

holy shit. everyone at my work just quit except one person (and me of course).

more later...

A moment in nerdy time

The top five most unrealistic goals I had for myself when I was 13 years old:

1. To marry Prince William by the time I was eighteen (& have his children by age nineteen):
2. To learn the ways of The Force:
   
   
   
3. To have hair exactly like Rachel from "Friends":
   
   
4. To star as the villain in the next Batman movie (this was after "Forever" and before the irreverent desecration caused by "Batman & Robin") as Harley Quinn, remember her?:
5. To not have to wear clothes from Lands End EVER AGAIN (actually quite realistic since 13 was when i graduated from land's end to RAVE - barf!):
   

Cleo v2.0 Contest Winner(s)

And the winning names are...

• Olive
• Lilo
• Kit Kat

I am going to give these names to my dear friend and she is going to choose from these three. Since there was kind of a tie with the second name, (two people listed it) I am going to give a runner up prize to be fair.

So the winners are Trina and Kim. You guys had what it took to name a cat. Fame and Fortune will follow you wherever you go in life, and maybe some nameless cats as well.

Please email or text me what prize you would each like to have mailed, and include the address you would like to have it mailed to.

Cleo v2.o Contest Update

I've gotten some pretty good responses so far for the Cat, and now I just have to hurry and pick a name that I like because I'm starting to enjoy calling her "kitty"...

I will be compiling a list of the names I like from what people suggested by Thursday, so if you haven't thought of a name yet you had better get one posted by then!

xo boochie

p.s. alyssa - i was in delta zeta. please for the love of god don't join a social sorority - they cost so much money. join an academic one, much cheaper and more beneficial to your resume.

I got a new Cleo v2.0 contest!

So my friends and I found this abandoned kitty cat about six weeks ago prowling around their house, and finally this past Monday (my monday off!) I took her into the Humane Society to get her checked for worms and vaccinated so my darling friend could keep her. It's strange because she's almost in every way exactly like Cleo, so much so that when I went home I had to make sure Cleo was still kicking it around my apartment instead of wandering random neighborhoods. 

The poor creature was so malnourished and underweight, but it was so strange since she is declawed on all four paws - something that costs a fair amount of money for an animal that is just going to be abandoned eventually. Anyways, the vet said that this happens alot. Someone gets a pet, goes through the process of getting spayed/neutered, declawed, vaccinated - but for some reason or another figures that it doesn't want to pay to feed the animal anymore and just lets it loose in some suburban neighborhood. To me that doesn't make any sense since all the bills totaled up from spaying and declawing the animal are more than a whole years worth of feeding it. Why make the "investment" if you're just going to abandon it when the hard part is over with? Anyways, I digress.

So there's this cat, and I have the task of having to name it. Mind you, I have never named anything in my life. Any animal I have ever owned has always come to me with a name (almost like getting a new room mate but without the sex addiction and bad habit of stealing your clothes) and the only thing in my life that I think I have ever named was Beary, my teddy bear, which did not take much creativity to do.

So, I need help naming this animal - It's a girl which is kind of hard since I had some pretty good boy names lined up and didn't think of girl names at all. I can't think of anything that isn't something you'd name a human or too cutesy (i hate cutesy) - so please help!

Leave suggestions in the comment section. So that people don't leave sarcastic names like "stupid" or "roadkill" (both very nice but inappropriate) I'm going to make this into a contest.

The person that comes up with the name I like most will get to choose ONE of the following prizes:

1. Thymes Lavender Travel Kit (Includes body wash, shampoo & conditioner, bath salts, body lotion) - lavender scent
2. Desktop hanging photo frame, silver and glass (very cool)
3. 1 bottle of MAC nail polish in Noir
4. Sushi gift set (includes sushi mat, chopsticks, 2 laquer or ceramic sushi stands, cookbook)
5. Stationary set/Thank you card set (don't worry, i have nice ones for you

**EDIT** Okay - so that all these prizes don't sound like they're from you-know-where, I 'm going to make one of the prizes (in honor of cousins alyssa and allie):

6. One pair of Havianas Flip Flops (can see them here)

  i pick if theyre either the bobbi brown, laura mercier, or trish mcevoy one though.

I will personally pay for postage and mail the item to you all nice and wrapped up special. If I end up USING the name you provide you can choose TWO things from the list. WHAT AN AWESOME INCENTIVE!!!! I might even throw in a bonus prize if you guys can come up with it in the next week. Contest ends when the cat gets a name.

Think Kittys!

Blog vows

Sooooo it has come to my attention that the following equation holds true for blogs:

daily updates + interesting subjects x good pictures = more people reading my blog

So, kindof like Cousin Pammy, I am going to do a post on my blog every day for as long as I can, and will try as hard as I can to make it sort of interesting.

Feel free to leave comments on my posts suggesting things I should talk about or gear towards - fashion? my life? things i have to complain about? my utter refusal to capitalize the beginning of sentences? The more comments that are posted to my site, the more I will be encouraged to talk about stuff you would like to read about when you are bored. I might also start a Facebook Page, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

That being said, the two people who DO read my blog - will you kindly leave links in the comments section to the following that I never knew existed and don't know how to find:

• Cousin Patrick's Blog (am extremely interested in my most mysterious cousin's musings and life in general)
  
• Your facebook page (if you have one) so I can stalk you to be my friend when I make my own.
• Links to your own blog so I can put it on my blogroll...I am very interested in you, you see:)

Let's put a smile on that face...
