A bit more about Hall & Hautes

Haven't been posting much lately. As you may have read in one of my previous posts, I am dismantling my two etsy shops and then putting them back together as hallandhautes.com.

Michael has been helping me with photographs, concepts and web development and it's been pretty fun. Stressful though, because my OFFICIAL LAUNCH DATE is supposed to be Thursday (tomorrow). Yikes. There's a lot up already on the site, but the layout isn't how I want it yet.

I'm making this switch because etsy causing me so much frustration over the fact it's ugly and you can't customize your page to be not ugly. Its benefits include a lot of built in traffic from etsy searches though so I'm hoping I won't miss out on too much of that. Spread the word people! Hallandhautes.com! The future is now.

Here are some pics of a photoshoot we did (We ARE in a COMPLETELY professional studio ...... *shifty eyes*).

RIP Geocities. 1994-2009.

Today Geocities will be put down. I started my first Geocities page when I was 11 (1997) and it was in SoHo and it was amazing.



Here are a few links of interest regarding Geocities' sad departure from this world:

A collection of Under Construction animated gifs archived from Geocities' pages. This is where I found the great gifs that I put in this post.

XKCD's page today is decorated in memory of Geocities' sweet style.

Information about the Archive Team's Geocities Project. An attempt to save as much Geocities data as possible. There are also some really great press mentions here.






They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the people twenty-five bucks just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Goodbye Geocities! We loved you.

these are some of the men in my life ...

Peter, Garrett and Michael making weird pictures.

Archie is unfortunately not pictured above but did hop into one or two shots.

grey

today was my favorite color:

Tonight I'm taking a much needed break from my Bejeweled Blitz marathon playing (I got 338,400!) to post some of my favorite videos as of lately:

VICTOR BORGE. Amazing, amazing comedian/pianist. I used to watch a VHS of some of his performances when I was a little kid and I just remember lying on the floor of the living room laughing my head off at this stuff. The first video is some of his piano jokes and the second one is him improvising a song that he'd never played before, but had heard once. He's so good! And his facial expressions are so great.





Also have been watching a lot of fashion shows and I love love Gareth Pugh. His S/S10 show was pretty amazing for me because one of my very favorite colors is gray and his palette for the season is pretty much all gray, I think.



And Run Lola Run:



To update y'all on what I've been doing, I'm planning on setting up my two etsy sites, http://sarahahaha.etsy.com/ and http://polygnome.etsy.com/ on a hot date and then naming their lovechild hallandhautes.com. The official site is not up yet, but for a sneak peek, check out http://hallandhautes.bigcartel.com/

It will be an awesome mix of all the things I sell, plus more. It's a new site with two times the rainbows, 67% more childrens' laughter and a 21% reduction of chirping birds. It's going to be amazing so bookmark http://hallandhautes.com/ and prepare to be blown away (:
