~This Is How You Arrive For Jury Duty~

-Thomas Fuller

Amanda Lepore showed up for Jury Duty in NYC this week in full on bitch goddess mode... Gotta love a bish that oozes glamour even while doing the most dreaded act of civic duty.

"Could we teach taste or genius by rules, they would be no longer taste and genius."
-Joshua Reynolds

At least once a day I see a trend fail, style nightmare, makeup disaster, or fashion faux pas. Sometimes I see a few... But lately "hideous" is so prominent that it is almost a trend within itself. Here are a few examples...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Seriously, you're trying too hard...you're doing too much"

This bag is so ugly it actually makes me violent:


A Hello Kitty bong? Really? Is Sanrio in a licensing war with Ed Hardy?


Cigarette butt charms? If you were going for trendy/edgy you failed miserably. Start over.

As If Mocassins weren't ugly enough...

"Vulva" Vaginal Scent? I guess it could be worse...it could be in lotion/creme form.

does not spend too much time on them, the pastime is a worthy one."
-'The University of Illinois Clothing Club Manual' published in 1926.

I've been over track suits since Bennifer were the "It" couple. but this Jeremy Scott Adidas Original Lace track suit from the 2010 line has me comtemplating a reconciliation. The rest of the collection is kinda fly also...

~A Shoe Only A Tourist Could Love~


"I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists." -Brigitte Bardot

Shoe brand Geox is launching this limited-edition shoe inspired by the Empire State Building. Omg...if there was a Razzie Award for shoes...we would have a winner. I hate these gaudy heels with a passion and I just know some 19 year old girl from Toledo Ohio is going to buy them and really think she's the shit. Omg...they make me wanna jump off the Empire State building. Actually I retract that... They make me want to THROW someone off the Empire State Building. Oh, and by the way...they are $230. They've got nerve.

Spring has arrived in Western Oregon...

Spring has arrived in our little valley

On my way home, I had to stop and snap a photo of our place.
The lighting was just right at this time of day.



Lots of baby calves running through the fields.

That is always a sure sign that Spring has finally arrived...



While the mama cows are grazing, the babies gang up together and have relay races!






This little guy is trying to get his mother to play.....but she is having no part of it!



The Buzzards are Back!

That is also another sure sign that Spring has arrived...



The buzzards roost on the top of the fence posts and open their wings.
I think it is some sort of solar drying method they use.
There were 8 lined up with their wings open just before I got the camera out...


I am getting lots done out in the Thread Shed for future class samples...
I will post images as soon as I can.
Happy Spring!

I did not want the stitching to obscure the names

~Tina Fey For Esquire Magazine~

“Yeah, it's tough being smart and sexy, too. I have to say, I'm really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date. I promise you it's true. My husband Jeff Richmond saw a diamond in the rough and took me in.” -Tina Fey

Tina Fey posed for
Esquire Magazine's April 2010 issue. And all I have to say is ...touché Mz.Fey. I really really didn't think Tina Fey had a sultry or sexy bone in her body and haven't been shy about saying so. I have also taken issue with her red carpet style. I have to admit though...these pix show the funny lady in a whole new light. Hell, she's almost "edgy"...Well...at least she tried. I'm impressed...
