Happy Halloween...

...and a happy birthday to myself as well. Have a fabulous Halloween. 

Here. 

May I Please have it?

What I really want is this Christian Louboutin Very Passementerie Pump. It is to die for!

No big deal that it is $1,085.  ha. 

Dear Red States,

Dear Red States,

If you manage to steal this election, too; we've decided we're leaving.

We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, this includes California, Hawaii ,Oregon ,Washington , Minnesota , Wisconsin , Michigan , Illinois and the entire Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of 'New California'.

To sum up briefly:

You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty and Wrigley Field. You get Dollywood and Tropicana Field. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85% of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama .

We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms and a tax-evasive plumber.

Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals; they have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs eventually turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in anymore of Bush and McCain's Quagmire.

In the area of culture, you get to enjoy the Coca-Cola Museum, George W. Bush Library and Hank Williams, Jr. We'll revel in the Museum of Modern Art, NY Public Library and Bruce Springsteen.

Just think of all the cuisine you Red Staters can dig into. While we Blue Staters sink into lobster, great bagels and deep dish pizza; you get to dine at 80% of all the Hooters restaurants.

With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans (thanks Iowa!), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Northwestern, Cal Tech, University of Michigan and MIT.

With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of tobacco chewers and/or smokers (and their projected health care costs), 92% of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.

Additionally, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, and 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11.

Peace out,

Blue States

Thank you chocolate pizza stiletto love for this amazing post.

Addiction

I have an addiction to Wasabi Peas. 

Along with an addiction to fresh apple cider from the farms in Corvallis. 

ASID

My goal for after I graduate is to work for a professional ASID interior designer. It would be amazing if they passed the NCIDQ exam as well. I am currently an ASID student member at the Oregon State University student chapter where I am the hospitality chair. 

 

Check out ASID here. 

LifeStyled

I fully believe in the importance of appearance and style....call it vain, but hey it's true. I came across LifeStyled from Seattle. I think everyone needs to take some personal time for themselves. I would love to have a personal style consultant and hear what they have to say.  

Oh the smell.

I soon will be getting the Capri Blue Volcano jar candle from Anthropologie and I can't wait. My room is going to smell sensational! 

You're Welcome

I am pleased to announce that I have season tickets to the upcoming Seattle Sounders FC. And I am even more pleased to announce that the gorgeous Freddy Ljungberg will be joining the team. He competes with Beckham in looks. 

Pre-Halloween Party

I wore my flapper costume out last night in preparation for the actual Halloween day! It worked out well besides the fact that many guys don't really know what a flapper is. Just so you all know the definition is: a young woman, esp. one who, during the 1920s, behaved and dressed in a boldly unconventional manner. 

Me and my old roommate Britni. 

Song For Amanda -by Kyle Riabko

Kyle Riabko...I saw playing in the park a good 5 years ago and feel in love with his voice. This song is one of my favorites off his new cd. He is also currently in Spring Awakening. Enjoy.

domino magazine, j. crew, and closet.... perfection.

I am sure everyone has already looked through the latest, fabulous Domino magazine but I still thought I would share Jenna Lyon's, from J. Crew, house. I would love to devote a whole room as my closet! 

The rest of her house is quite lovely as well. Enjoy.

I am loving ban.do currently. I really want a hippie around the head style headband. 

Birthday Time

My birthday is a week from today...yes, halloween. I really hope someone makes me cupcakes. They look delicious.   

Here. 

around the corner

Hello. This is perfect. 

My grandma has a large collection of silhouettes that I eventually get to have. This is a perfect example of what I would love to do with them. I am also slowly falling in love with that color of paint. Very calming and sophisticated as well. This wonderful photo is from popptalk via The Black Apple. 

Twilight Blue

My amazing new find on Etsy today. It is from the artist jkldesign. Breathtaking! Go check out the rest of her work!

Say Goodbye

So here we are tonight

You and me together

The storm outside, the fire is bright

And in your eyes I see

What's on my mind

You've got me wild

Turned around inside

And then desire, see, is creeping

Up heavy inside here

And know you feel the same way

I do now

Now let's make this an evening

Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight

Stay here with me, love, tonight

Just for an evening

When we make

Our passion pictures

You and me twist up

Secret creatures

And we'll stay here

Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends

But tonight let's be lovers,

We kiss and sweat

We'll turn this better thing

To the best

Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss

Tangled tongues and lips,

See me this way

I'm turning and turning for you

Girl just tonight

Float away here with me

An evening just wait and see

But tomorrow go back to your man

I'm back to my world

And we're back to being friends

Wait and see me,

Tonight let's do this thing

All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours

On our way here

Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends

Tonight let's be lovers, say you will

And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love

A thing or two I have to say here

Tonight let's go all the way then

Love I'll see you,

Just for this evening

Let's strip down, trip out at this

One evening starts with a kiss

Run away

And tomorrow

back to being friends

Lovers...love...lovers

Just for tonight, one night...love you

And tomorrow say goodbye

Officially Addicted

There is no point denying my love for Gossip Girl. One of my favorite parts of the show is obviously the fashion! Well, I was over at Bluefly and now you can search and buy from each character's closet. It is wonderful and I want to buy quite a lot of the items listed....go check it out; you won't be disappointed. 

They are a rather good looking cast too. That always helps. 

Fifties Beatnik

The trend according to Asos is Fifties Beatnik where you hit the scene in the jazz clubs of Fifties Soho. I am loving this look. It is a wonderful mix of retro inspired pieces with still a modern, up to date feeling. Now if I could only fine guys that dress like this.  

Bag Borrow or Steal

Need a fabulous designer purse or amazing jewelry and can't afford it.... well borrow it of course. Check out Bag Borrow or Steal. 

Rockin' the Purple Tights

I am loving purple tights and I currently am wearing mine. Now if only people in Corvallis would understand my fashion.

Just around the corner

Graduation is just around the corner.... well the corner is still a bit away but it seems so darn close. This is my final year at OSU and I graduate in June! ahhhh. I recently have been thinking about what I will be doing after I graduate. I guess that means I should start looking for a job soon. Real world here I come!

I might not be a Californian but...

Everyone should have the right to marriage!

There really aren't words that can explain how much I love LOV-E artwork. I first came across her work at Poolga which then led me to her flickr account. Go check it out here. There are some amazing photos and Polaroids as well.
