You may have noticed from previous posts or videos in which my nails are visible, I like fancy nail polish. Sometimes people ask me how I do some of the designs that I do, so I thought I’d do a spring-inspired floral nail polish tutorial. If you like what you see, give it a try! And let me know how you do; were my instructions … Continue reading Paint Your Nails
What the hell is Valentine’s day? A lot of (grumpy) people hate Valentine’s day because they thinks it’s a corporate money grab, they consider it a made up holiday, they hate candy—there are many reasons floating around to hate this day. But what even is this day? I wanted to find out once and for all, so here is a quick history lesson on Saint … Continue reading Go Kiss Someone
It was 15 years ago when the seemingly creepy neighbour character in American Beauty introduced us to the idea that a plastic bag floating, nay dancing around the air was beautiful. Even “the most beautiful thing” this kid has ever filmed, possibly ever ever. And, for a brief period of 1999 we believed him, because like everyone else we were hypnotised by the magic of … Continue reading One Word: Plastics
Today Bill Murray is 63. Can you name all the characters (and their films) depicted in this most fantastic of gifs? Continue reading Happy Birthday, You Magnificent Bastard.
For anyone who is familiar with my blog, you might remember that in the past I have made “art” out of wire. I don’t do it as much any more (I’ve had one project on the go since last Christmas) but I am not opposed to it. Recently, a friend reached out to me to find out if I still made wire things. Her friend … Continue reading Congrats Mr & Mrs Kowalenko
It’s Oscar night! One of my favourite nights of the year for absolutely no reason! Except that I love miovies, I love fancy dresses, and I love seeing movie stars in fancy dresses. In past years I’ve tried to watch all the Best Picture nominees (even the tedious Tree of Life) so I can judge properly whether or not the winner deserved to win (in … Continue reading Oscar Night!
The internet has brought us many things, and for that we can be thankful, angry, disturbed, awed, humbled. But today, right now, on Caturday the 17th of February 2013, just say yes to this magnificent cat gif. Is it just me or is this cat kind of rocking a Churchill-esque vibe? Like a chubby-necked badass who don’t take no shit from no one? Continue reading Stop Everything And Look At This!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I dig any day that encourages us to show love and admiration for the people in our lives. And, heck, to strangers, too, why not? It’s up to you whether you decide to “be a consumer” on this day (and yes, you should love and show love everyday but a specific day where people put in a little extra effort—and are greeted … Continue reading Listen to Love
I’ve never been fashionable, or stylish, or even trendy but I know what I like (most of the time) and I’m saying it right here and now, I love chevrons. First of all, the word chevron is amazing. Shhhhevron. Second, chevrons can turn garbage into gold! Clothes, walls, furniture, EVERYTHING looks good in chevron! Here are just a few (too many) things to illustrate my … Continue reading Chevrons
