Bird Mafia

BE ALARMED.  THE BIRD MAFIA IS REAL.

RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT AS I WRITE THIS, THERE IS

A DEAD BIRD DANGLING FROM MY APARTMENT'S TELEPHONE

WIRES BY ITS FOOT.  OR I THINK ITS FOOT ANYWAY, I WON'T

GO NEAR IT.  I MADE MEADOW TAKE THESE PICS FOR ME.

I AM PRETTY SURE HE WAS LEFT THERE AS A WARNING

TO OTHER BIRDS NOT TO FUCK WITH THE BIRD MAFIA.

 GOD THAT IS SICK.

AND HE SWAYS IN THE WIND.  CHECK OUT THIS SHORT VIDEO:

SO GROSS.

Polka Dots

OK, AS PROMISED HERE, I TOLD YOU

I'D SHOW YOU MY NEXT NAIL IDEA WHEN

I DID IT.  I JUST HOPED IT HAD TURNED

OUT BETTER THAN THIS!!!

I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE RED

CAME OUT.  IT WAS A TEMPERAMENTAL COLOR!

I GUESS YOU GET THE POINT THOUGH.

AND IT'S NOT ALL DISAPPOINTMENT.

THE BLACK BOWS LOOK CUTE WITH MY BOW RING.

AS WELL AS WITH THE BRACELET MOM GAVE ME.

I AM NOT GOING TO KEEP THEM LIKE THIS FOR

VERY LONG, BUT IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO PLAY AROUND!

AT LEAST I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO DO EACH NAIL THE SAME!

. . . . . .இï

Bullet from a Braid on the Bus

 I KID YOU NOT.

THAT IS ONE HUGE MOTHERFUCKING BULLET TOO.

HERE'S A LITTLE CLOSER PIC OF IT.

THE WEIRD THING TOO WAS THAT SHE LOOKED

LIKE A MORMON KNITTER, NOT A GUN ENTHUSIAST.

IT WAS KIND OF NUTTY.

AFUCKINGMAZING.

Nail Night 1/24/12

NAIL NIGHT HAS BECOME AN IRREGULARLY REGULAR

EVENT AMONGST US LADIES.  ESPECIALLY SINCE THE

RECENT KONAD INFLUX.  WELL NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

WE'VE ALWAYS CONSIDERED DOING YOUR NAILS 

AS A CRAFT.  IT COUNTS AS CREATIVE PRODUCTION!

KIERSTEN WORKS AT A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN'T HAVE

MOST NAIL COLORS EXCEPT NUDES, PINKS AND REDS.

SHE GOT IN TROUBLE AFTER THE LAST NAIL NIGHT

BECAUSE THEY LOOKED TOO BLACK WITH THE KONAD

STAMPING IN BLACK OVER A DEEP RED COLOR.

THIS TIME SHE OPTED FOR SOMETHING MUCH MORE SUBTLE.

CUTE LITTLE BOW TIE SPARKLE BURSTS

MEADOW DID THIS PATTERN WHICH I WAS DYING TO

SEE BUT HADN'T YET.  IT TURNED OUT AMAZING.

 I LOVE HOW MEADOW CAN PICK ONE PATTERN

AND STICK WITH IT.  I CAN'T SEEM TO DO THAT YET.

LAST NIGHT I USED THIS AS MY BASE COLOR- 

OPI'S "SIGNIFICANT OTHER COLOR"

 I WANTED SOMETHING LIGHT SO THAT I COULD USE

A COLOR FOR STAMPING AND HAVE IT SHOW UP WELL.

IT WAS REALLY HARD TO GET A GOOD PICTURE OF THEM

WHERE YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE THE PATTERNS I USED.

 EACH NAIL IS DIFFERENTLY STAMPED BUT USING THE SAME

COLOR SO FROM AFAR THEY LOOK MORE UNIFORM THAN THE

ONES I'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

THEN I THREW A YELLOW BOW TIE ON EACH OF THEM

AND I GOT THIS IDEA FOR NEXT TIME:

WHITE BACKGROUND, RED POLKA DOTS, AND 

THEN A BLACK BOW TIE!!!!  I WILL SHOW YOU

HOW IT TURNS OUT WHEN I DO IT!

回 回 回

Black and Yellow

NOT THE AMAZINGLY ANNOYING SONG OR

FOOTBALL TEAM, BUT THE NEW COLORS OF MEADOW'S

LIVING ROOM WALLS RATHER!!!  I AM IN SUCH LOVE!!!

IT ISN'T FINISHED YET (OBVIOUSLY) BUT I THINK

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING AND IT IS PRETTY

AFUCKINGMAZING.  I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE IT ALL

FINISHED AND DECORATED.  ARE YOU PAINTING 

AT YOUR NEW HOUSE BUNNY BANANA?

Sunday at Dad's

NOT TOO MUCH TO REPORT FROM
DAD'S HOUSE THIS PAST SUNDAY.

THERE WAS SOME CUTE KITTY ACTION.

AND A NEW HOME FOR THEM UNDER A CHAIR.
I LOVE DAD'S ORIGINAL DESIGNS.
☆PATENT PENDING☆

OH AND CHECK THIS OUT!

DAD HAS THE SAME PYREX BOWL I WAS

ADMIRING AT COPPER COUNTRY!!!  HOLLA!

ALSO I NOTICED THAT DAD AND LINDA ARE SPORTING
MINT NAPKINS, AND ACCORDING TO LADY GAGA,
MINT IS GOING TO BE BIG THIS SPRING. 

THEY ARE SO HIGH FASHION!

I LIKE HOW THEY SWITCH UP THE SHAKERS.

THE OWLS ARE PROBABLY MY FAVORITES THOUGH!

(SEE THE KITTY ONES HERE.

DAD MADE A CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH 

WON TONS WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD AND WAS WAY

BETTER THAN IT LOOKS IN MY PICTURE.

I GOT KINDA TIPSY AND FORGOT TO TAKE A PIC

OF DESSERT, HA HA-  OOPS!  IT WAS FRUIT SALAD.

GORGEOUS SUNSET THAT NIGHT!

MUCH MORE PURPLES AND BLUES THAN THE USUAL
VERY BRIGHT ORANGES, YELLOWS AND REDS-  LOVED IT!

☾ ☾ ☾

Nails Nails Nails

SO AFTER PLAYING AROUND WITH THE KONAD
NAIL STAMPING THE FIRST TIME (SEE IT HERE)

ME AND MEADOW HAD TO PURCHASE OUR OWN.

AND IT ARRIVED ON SATURDAY!!

YOU HAVE TO USE A SPECIAL POLISH FOR THE

STAMPING PART AND YOU CAN'T FIND THEM IN 

STORES, YOU HAVE TO GO ONLINE, SO WE 

DID NOT HOLD BACK ON CHOICES!

WE FOUND A MULTI PACK OF DESIGN PLATES
FOR A GOOD PRICE TOO, INCLUDING ALL OF THE
ONES WE'VE BEEN DROOLING OVER!  YAY!!

I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR REAL, BUT
I ENDED UP PLAYING AROUND AGAIN INSTEAD.

THESE ARE THE FINAL RESULTS!  I WAS DOING
MY NAILS OVER WITH BLACK TO TRY THE COLOR
PRINTING ON TOP BUT THEN WE RAN OUT OF POLISH
REMOVER SO I HAD TO STOP WITH JUST A BLACK NAIL.

KIWI

POLKA DOT BOW

(SCREWED UP POLISH UNDERNEATH)

ORANGE

FISHNET, NOT CLEANED UP OF COURSE

(CAUSE WE RAN OUT OF REMOVER)

MY FAVORITE OF THE BOWS

CUTE KOREAN WORDS WITH ENGLISH UNDERNEATH
"CUTE" AND "I LOVE YOU"

WATERMELON SLICES

A THIRD TYPE OF BOW AND THEN I PUT A
SCORPION UNDERNEATH IT.  THIS IS THE NAIL
I ENDED UP PAINTING OVER WITH BLACK TO
DO A COLOR OVER BUT COULDN'T.

MEADOW USED THE HOUNDSTOOTH PATTERN

AND IT TURNED OUT AMAZING!  I AM SO DOING THIS

SOMEDAY WHEN I CAN STOP MAKING EVERY NAIL

A DIFFERENT PATTERN BECAUSE IT'S SO FUN TO DO!

WAY CUTE.

Copper Country Continued!

IT'S COPPER COUNTRY TIME AGAIN!

(SEE THE LAST POST HERE)

MEADOW TOOK ME DOWN TO HER SPACE AGAIN 

THIS PAST SATURDAY SO I COULD SNOOP AROUND.

THE NINJA TURTLE BUFFALO FROM LAST TIME WAS 

GONE AND REPLACED BY THIS GOLD ONE.  I WONDER

IF THEY JUST PAINTED THE NINJA TURTLE GOLD?

CAUSE THAT WOULD BE SAD.

MEADOW HAD SOME NEW ITEMS TO BRING DOWN

INCLUDING THIS FUCKING AMAZING RIFFLE CASE.

I LOVE THE DEER ON THE SIDE THERE.

RECORDS RECORDS RECORDS!

THOSE SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS ARE RAD!

I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE ANYWAY.

(ON THE RIGHT THERE???)

MEADOW PAINTED THIS LAMP'S BASE GOLD

CAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT'S HOT.  SPHERE!!!

THERE ARE DEFINITELY A FEW OF MY OLD ITEMS

IN THE MIX AT HER SPACE LEFT OVER FROM A YARD SALE

WE HAD AT HER HOUSE OVER THE SUMMERTIME.

THAT TEA LIGHT LAMP WITH THE PURPLE SHADE IN THE 

BACK IS ONE EXAMPLE.  IT IS MADE OF REAL SILVER.

LOVE THE SCORPION BELT BUCKLE!

THE DETAIL ON THIS PLATE WOULD MAKE IT 

PERFECT FOR A COFFEE TABLE.  I LOVE THE COLOR!

THE BLACK DISH WITH THE COLORED CIRCLES

IS SO CUTE AND RETRO!  AND NEW TO THE SPACE!

AM I ONLY DREAMING OR IS THIS 

BURNING AN ETERNAL FLAME?

THAT LAMP I LOVE IS STILL THERE!!!

I BET IT WON'T BE FOR MUCH LONGER!!!

CUTE PURSES

(MEADOW IS BIG INTO ORANGE RIGHT NOW.)

THAT'S A CUTE TEAPOT!

(SEE MY POST ON TEAPOTS HERE.)

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE VELVET INDIAN HASN'T 

SOLD YET!  IT TOTALLY WILL SOON I BET!

NEW LAMP, LOVE THE BASE AND SHADE!
WHICH IS SO RARE CAUSE USUALLY I HATE
ONE OR THE OTHER FOR SOME REASON!

CUTE RETRO-Y VACUUM

COCKFIGHT PAINTING

SKULL BERET

MOSAIC SAGUARO BOX

LIGHT FIXTURES

☟ ☟ ☟

I ALSO WANDERED AROUND THE REST OF THE SHOP
TO SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD OUT FOR SALE.

I CAME ACROSS THESE TWO PLATES AND I HAVE ONE

EXACTLY LIKE THEM AT HOME BUT IT IS A WHALE!

SHE WAS SELLING THEM FOR ABOUT $20 EACH.

I FORGET WHERE I GOT THIS ONE.  I JUST KEPT IT

BECAUSE OF THE WHALE.  HA HA.

THERE WAS ALSO THIS AMAZING DIVIDED 

PINK PYREX DISH!  I LOVE PINK PYREX!

IT WAS SO EXPENSIVE- COMPARED TO MY THRIFT STORE

FINDS ANYWAY!  IT WAS BEING SOLD FOR $22.50!

(I PAID SOMETHING LIKE $5-$7 FOR MINE!!)

THERE WAS ALSO THIS YELLOW PYREX BOWL
AND IT WAS BEING SOLD FOR $18.50!
 CRAZINESS! 

(LOOK UP AT THAT CREEPY MARVIN MARIAN STARING AT YOU.)
