OH THE RAPTURE!

OH THE RAPTURE!

.....err maybe not. :/

Eclectic design and style

So if I was not such a BBW I would soooo be very much more strange, odd and extremely eclectic in my own scene of fashion.

Sure I dig mainstream but I also like to mix in things that stand out a tad more.

So anyway while I was looking for real life inspiration for the design and dress of my steampunk charter I came across these really neat and yes odd pants that are sweeping the underground fashion trends in the East and West.

I give you the "Tobi" pants sometimes called 'SteepleJacks'.

What are tobi though? well to quote Lastwear they are:

"....the Steeplejacks are based on the style of pants worn by Japanese construction workers known as Tobi pants."

Such as in this picture:



From this there has steamed a moment that is touching the niche markets and the hip trend setting waves of people (ya know the people that start the trends and fads or such).

Some examples are as fallows:

These are from a hip trendy shop called Shigoto.








These are less modern in their design but still none the less cool! Less baggy to compared to the hip version. Made by a guy called Marcus Stratus aka Weerd on DA or also he has a Etsy shop.




Weerd got the pattern for the pants from Lastwear Though he changed it a lil bit. Lastwear is in between what Weerd does and the hipsters in that they maintain more of the original design but also try and make then a tad more modern as well.










So what do you think? I love them and if I had the $150 to commission some from either Marcus or the Lastwear crew I would. Or the wallet biting $210-352 from Shigoto. But that is like buying name brand from places like Abercrombie & Fitch. OUCH!

Oh well. I still dig these awesome and yes eclectic pants!

Who is ready for H1N1?

And the dreaded H1Z1!

I frakken am! Bring on your worse!





LOL I have waaaay to much fun with my camera!

Beanie feind that I am...

...with a interest in gas mask design (if you really want to know more/why just ask but yeah...) I found this knitted invention an awesome find lol.





Anyway I just thought that it was kinda neat.

The maker's story behind it:

"A friend of mine decided he wanted a knitted gas mask + hat to wear for winter bike trips to work. Of course I offered to do it not really thinking about how I'd actually do it. Months later (after lots of reminding) I finally finished it"

Headphones

I was looking for a new wallpaper with headphones in it (hmmmmm... LOL) and found this oddly awesome pic and thought that I would share it with you all!



Contradictive in its modern and traditional elements huh.

New user pics

So I got some new AWESOME face bandannas and I thought that now was the best time to goof around with them and make new user pics for my various presences on the interweb...







Anyway that is it and hey Craig here are so photos on my blog at last lol. I have some ideas for some more photo work but it is going to be later this week or next week when I get it done and up on it so keep poking me with a stick and I might just get it done!

My life in the form of a web comic v. IV

Yup feel pretty close to me >.>

Pass it forward! ---->

Love this web comic! It rox my world ^_^

OH NOES I'M BACK AGAIN!

So I just stumbled across THE BEST t-shirt shop this side of Zion!

It is called 8 Apparel!

LOL I know what I'm getting Paul for Christmas! Oh snap have I not come across something this funny since I got Paul This t-shirt as part of his Christmas as a jab and tongue-in-check lol at LDS male culture a Christmas or two ago. And guess what his P-day tees from me will be *insert EVIL older sister Grinch like grin here* MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Some of my favorite tees:




*Must plaster kid brother with funny t-shirt that make other wonder about his sanity (all the while knowing they should be questioning mine instead)*

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!111

OH MAN EDIT:
I just stumbled across another site/store and this one is just as good (bad!?)lol!

Seriously So Blessed

*A MEGA SHOUT GOES UP FROM ACROSS ZION AND MOST OF ALL FROM PROVO* to quote the Craig's fan gurl fan club (hee hee hee @ Craig)

Just musing and wondering.

So these are my random thoughts for the day and your $0.02 are all welcome.

So I was reading through Sunday's PostSecrets and there was one about a person that went through chemo and was not able to have kids and how they felt unimportant to the human race now. So It made me wonder would I (or any of you) marry a person that you knew could not have kids if you loved them? Would you stayed married to a person that could not have kids after you just got married (like you found out less then 6 months to a year after you got married)? If you had been trying for a long time like years and found out that they could not? Is it that important to have kids for you?

And to the people that say they would just adopt... well what if you where to poor to adopt? Then would you still stay married to the person?

Ok what if you where the person that was the infertile one? How would you feel? What would you say and do?





I don't know how I would feel personally. I think I would feel like I let them down but I would love my husband first and kids are a secondary thing in a marriage (albeit important in many ways). I still don't know how I feel about adoption. I know I sound like a bigot but I want kids that look like kids I would have. I guess that would also change if I married outside of my heritage and background. There are also other factors like how my husband's family would feel that I 'cheated' them out of grand kids and the family name being passed down. If he was the only male child or the only one that was going to have kids in his family or such. Then there are cultural and religious pressures to deal with as well.

So much to think about. What do you think about it?


On a similar note it always make me wonder when I see those young LDS couples (and others I'm not picking on anyone here ^_^) that have not been married even nine - ten months to a couple years and they already have a kid/s. Do they even really know each other? I want a year or more to know my new husband before I even think about kids. A new husband, a new life, a new living situation, a new house/apt and so very much more and now they already have another new little life to deal with and fit into this new life of theirs. (not that kids are bad so don't think that I'm saying that people just musing out load here) I just think "...first comes love then comes marriage...." and when the times is right and you both know each other as husband/wife, friend, lover and even gotten in whoppers of fight and know how to work through pain and anger and still know that you will always care for the other... and have the time and money and stable environment and only then "....then comes the baby in the baby carriage".




So yeah that is my brain leak for the morning.

Day 3 and still ouchie >.<

So I told some of you about how I slipped on the wet leaves going down the front porch steps the other day and fell off the last couple steps and did the splits XD and then landed on my left knee and left foot.

Only thing hurt other then my pride lol was my left knee that is all better and my left foot... still ouchie.

So yeah it is still swollen and tender and has a scab on it. So here is a pic just for Craig our lil podophilia (Foot fetish/lover) out there.

Plz ignore the hair and how ugly my foot is -_-


You can see that my foot is swollen and my flip flop strap mark lol

Do your part - VOTE!

So just reiterating that we all need to come out and vote! Even more so if you are young. Lets hear your voice this election!


Anyway I thought that I would toss up my favorite US propaganda piece since we have been bombarded for so many months leading up to today for the elections.

First off the most iconic and recognizable one:

This image was in all reality a miss labeling of the character of Rosie. It was one of the many images that was around during the labor crises during WWII to entice women to help during the labor shortage from the lack of factory workers during the war.

And now the Original piece that was first called "Rosie the Riveter":

I love how she has her feet crushing a copy of Mein Kampf! And her look is great! I just love this version of Rosie!

And a Time Magazine cover that is a modern take on this image to run along with their article about teens volunteering:


Anyway like these images are try to say in their timelessness get out there and do your part today!

Feeling drained

I just got done helping Rachel and she kinda blew it off as nothing and went image surfing for pics of her boy toy crush 'The Judist Brothers' while I scanned Beowulf for phrases that would fit her HW.

....more then an hour later after finding all she needed but one I got sick of her thinking my help was nothing and her wasting time on the interweb and tossed the book back at her and told her to find it herself.

She said "should I ask the others (family) to find it then"? >.> ummm no as you are in an honors class you SHOULD be doing it yourself not looking for more images of that damned band to slather all over your notebook.

She looked for a few mins and then just stuck crap in the last spot and then gathered up her crap and left my room.



I'm sorry but if I'm helping you with something and you think my help is nothing worth while and you don't show me that you appreciate it then just go bump it on down the road and don't ask for my help.

I'm tired and worn out and feel dead so with bleary eyes and a belittled smack to the face I was not going to take it.

It shows that I've been worn out by my midterm crap and I was just not going to take her crap.....

uggg venting it feels good!


LOL its days like these that I'm glad that I have nonsensical fuzzy eared hats to jam on my head and make people wonder about my sanity ^_^

Makes you wonder

Saw this on Post Secret and it makes you wonder if it will be attempted. I know I brought it up to John in passing once a while ago and he said he would not be surprised if some kook tried it but failed horribly.



It says "It's only a matter of time..."

Taggin Up by the U

Saw this and just had to capture this and post it up. This is on the old tennis courts in 'University Town' by the U of U just off 13th East and 1st South I believe.

It was up once before and then got covered up and then a few days later appeared again.


Its odd. I mean how often do you see anything like Arabic graffiti in Utah of all places? Interesting.

Finally caught it last night while out with the siblings running errands.
