in this corner of the ring...

so tonight ended up being super low key, which was super nice because I have been cleaning ALL day! I am in phase 1 of packing for moving soon. This means I daydream most waking hours of how I will decorate my new place, listen to good music, and bust my ass.

I wasn't going to let the ass busting stop me from going out, so I went to a ska show with a cool co-worker. It was at the U of M Union and it was in their bowling alley area, good music, mellow and fun :o)

you can only sort of tell in the photo, but I couldn't decide between Pink Friday, and the new Gaga 2 Viva Glam from MAC- SOOOOOO I wore the Pink Friday lipstick with the Gaga lipglass! They mix beautifully! love it!


I wore a Harajuku Lovers shirt with some pants I got in Hong Kong, L.A.M.B. watch, "Return to Tiffany" bracelet modified with HL charm, skull/spike bracelet, and stud earrings- with the standard ska show shoes- Doc Martens!


and of course, a favorite of mine that no one in the US ever seems to go for...

DROP CROTCH PANTS!!!


so the band gave me a total SUBLIME vibe so I am now sitting here chillin, drinking wine out of a teacup and listening to the 40 oz. to Freedom album... this album is love


Cleaning out stuff and getting ready to pack is awesome! I found these sunglasses that I thought were long gone! I can't really do regular Wayfarers, they just don't work on me, but I love them, so I was happy to find these (I will call them) "Nayfarers" at Target, the shape is a little bigger so I get the style and it works on my face.

I have found HELLA other stuff while cleaning too, stuff I can use to decorate the new place! SCORE :o)

Black Out The Windows


I have been a terrible blog neglecter but hopefully a little new music will make up for it. 
My favorite musical artist of recent times, since I first heard him as the lead singer of The Afghan Whigs around 1990, is Greg Dulli. 
He is rather a local boy having grown up just 90 miles up river in Cincinnati. 
His music, from The Afghan Whigs to The Twilight Singers to his solo work to The Gutter Twins, has always shown up at the exact points in my life when I need it. 
In the interview below, you can download his cover of "Don't Call" a song by Desire. 
I highly suggest doing so. His covers are magic.
