i'm not gonna lie..

i'm more than a little excited about the return of the jersey housewives.

how i have missed this fucking clown parade.

we are starting off in such SUCH a good place (terrible place)...

there is double leopard in one shot.

there is the worst apology in the history of apologies.

there is italian menopause.

"we fight big and we make up big"

let's hope they "menopause big".

there are bejewelled monokinis.

and thigh-ginas.

there is talk of a "gorgasm".

i know SOMEONE who jizzed in her pants a little.

there are wolves.

ashley has lohanized herself.

and they're sending her to vegas to live with relatives.

who wants to take bets that she's hustlin at the bunny ranch in less than a week after arrival?

in all seriousness....this is the ONE story line on this show that disturbs me the most..

what 20 year old is not out partying every single night?

sweet jesus!  

i was putting money in fat ladies' garters at the clairmont lounge and doin' blow off a hooker's ass in the bathroom. 

don't send her away.

she'll grow out of it.

she just needs a hug and to work out some of her anger.

too much emphasis is being put on her "bad ways"..on NATIONAL TELEVISION!

bunny ranch.

and finally..

more rosie please.

rosie is a no nonsense lady licker and i love her.

in fact, let ashley stay with rosie for a spell.

thoughts?

talkin bout real important issues...

 hey err'body..

i hope the weekend brought you much rest and relaxation.

i got kicked in the back by a donkey.

not really, but that's what it feels like.

is there such a thing as 4,000 mg of ibuprofen?

PAIN IS FOR PUSSIES!

that's what my husband likes to tell me.

i like to envision a donkey kicking him in the face.

oops.  getting off track.

here we have 3 mood board entries for client consideration..

the specifics:

me: how would you describe your style?

her: classic, vintage, modern, rustic/earthy with a little bit of ethnic for a collected and timeless look.

now..

my goal is always to offer up 3 very different versions of whatever the client asks for.

luckily this client likes pretty much the same thing i like.

so it was easy to create 3 different looks.

a few of this particular entry/foyer's specifics...

it's small.

with odd angles and crooked nooks.

the door opens up and your view is a staircase going down.

to the left is the dining room and to the right is a wall with the crooked nook and a closet door..

in each board the chair and mirror go in the crooked nook.

the console goes in front of the stair rail and the chest goes on the dining room side wall (left of door as you enter)

version 1: 

version 2:

 version 3:

all pretty different but all offering the classic, vintage, modern, rustic/earthy vibe...

right?

which is your favorite?

wanna order up your own set of mood boards?

email me immediately.

t shirt updates

first of all can you die from your period?

right before my period (you're welcome men) i feel like i am dying.

emotionally and physically.

like right now i think my insides are screaming.

and i don't mean that metaphorically.

anyway..

'the perfect t-shirt' arrived. 

here's my attempt to document it for you..

and here's my second attempt...

someone put me out of my misery.

oddly it's as though i knew i would post both of those.

and yet i swear i didn't.

and yes, i am rubbing on my boobs.

 i decided it was best to just tell you the t shirts really are perfect.

ok maybe 1 degree less than perfect..

BECAUSE NOTHING'S FUCKING PERFECT!!!!

 

just some things..

 

a thousand times, yes. 

i changed my facebook picture.

i finally painted fiona's little table.

and then i celebrated.

and...

i can finally wear these..

my parents went to england in february and brought me back some black hunter boots.

it hasn't rained since february.
