FIVE DOLLAR'S A BAG!!!

That's Right! My roommate Abby and I made it to an estate sale today. We hit the very last hour of some very slim pickings. Nonetheless, we walked out of that house with 5 dollars worth of jam packed items in a brown grocery bag. Not only was the weather refreshingly warm today.... but we got the sweetest deal. Check out these items: OH and make sure to click on the typewriter looking sheet.... it's pretty hilarious... abby found that in a box full of recipes.

Second Runway Fashion Show

This weekend I participated as a volunteer at the Second Runway Fashion Show in St. Paul. Tim and Thom Navarro asked me to do hair for their collection. The concept of the show was for designers to find materials at local goodwill stores and recreate materials into one of a kind garments to raise money for goodwill's. I would describe their collection as mod/futuristic... therefore we decided to do clean updos with a bit of a futuristic twist. Here are some photos of the hair and event:

new business cards

I made these cards at work today for my upcoming profession in hair.

my day off....

I got out some markers today and decided to take a whirl at some drawings. things started off frustrating because i just haven't been very consistent with using my hand. sadly. here are some of the drawings i did based off some hair style images i had in a book for school. Today was a refresher ..... tomorrow will be better.

Bloggin thoughts....

Maybe it's just me and the fact that i haven't spent enough time understanding blogger.... but there are a lot of things I wish i could do with this web engine that i just don't quite understand. 1. why can't i show blogs i follow on my actually blog page... instead of in my profile? 2. What if i want to upload songs or upload more links? I'm not quite getting it.... and sometimes when i view other blogger sites i feel like they've customized it in a way that's fitting for their info. 3. There's been some talk that wordpress is a better bloggin site. What's the difference and why should I start over? 4. Sometimes i feel like my blog goes all over the place. I originally created the thing to upload pictures of hairstyles and crafties i do. Lately... haven't been snappin photos of hair and definitely DO NOT have the time to do personal artings (which is saddening).

anyway..... i hope to get this stuff figured out soon..... now that im finding extra time during the day at work to upload a post now and again..... i might actually invest in getting my site the way i want it.

If you don't know of sanna annukka.... you should. Fabulous iconography and album art!

My dream.

So i have to post about this really quick
I had a dream last night that was just so fun. First off..... I was at a pool side concert with deerhoof. If you don't know them.... you should http://www.spinner.com/2008/09/09/deerhoof-offend-maggie-free-mp3-of-the-day-exclusive/

The audience was swimming around while the band played on the side.
Then my wallet contents got stolen, but as it turns out i just got a new debit card (in real life).... that hasnt been activated yet. THe sucker couldn't take any money out. It ended up being a great evening even though somone tried to rip me off. Splashing around in a pool.... while a band plays on the side.... that seriously needs to happen for real!
