Wonder Boy and I break for signs. Seriously. If we’re driving down the side of the road and see something ridiculous, we’ll pull over and I’ll snap a picture. It’s been a while since we’ve seen something funny, but this did me in. So stupid and yet I laughed so hard…
I love animals and I love making them look pretty foolish and dressing them up.
But one thing that’s never occurred to me? Giving an animal dreadlocks. Turns out, it can be done.
Wonder Boy and I spotted these pooches on a recent weekend getaway and I was floored. These are not fake dreadlocks, people! The owner actually helps his dogs grow dreadlocks.
I have learned the lesson that Mother’s Day is not the right day to tell your mom you have a tattoo. I have learned the hard way that tattoo design selection needs more than 15 minutes reflection. (I don’t regret that tattoo, though. The memory of the whole experience is great. Plus, I can’t see the thing without a mirror so out of sight, out of mind!) But I can’t deny the fact that I still appreciate some good body art. So I was super pleased when I heard about Tattly.
After watching this Ted presentation by Jessie Arrington I started following Jessi’s blog, Lucky So and So. She has one of the temporary tattoos featured on Tattly, a site selling temporary tattoos. Tattly was the idea of Tina, the force behind the design blog Swiss Miss, who was tired of applying ugly temporary tattoos on her kids. Why not some tattoos with more of a design aesthetic?
The site features some awesome options. I bought only two, and got a free one as a bonus!
Here’s me sporting one of the new tattoos as I head out for a night of rock and roll.
Those last two photos were taken by Wonder Boy.
The great thing about going out of town is that you can pick up things that Cincinnati (and everywhere else in Ohio) just doesn’t have, like the inaugural issue of the Design Sponge newspaper.
It looks and reads great so I hope its a successful experiment for the folks over at Design Sponge!
Back in April I won a contest hosted by Maggie of Mighty Girl and I got most of my spoils on May. But now I am an official member of the Wee Wood of the Month Club (for three months), featuring beautiful, handmade wood products from Little Alouette.
My first package included two wonderful maple teething toys – a bird and a mustache.
