Giveaway #4 Winners!

I apologize for not posting this sooner, but with Christmas and all of that I got kind of distracted.

Instead of doing a video documenting the drawings for the winners of the giveaway, I took the lazy, hi-tech route of using random.org.

Please see the results below:



If you are one of the winners, please email me at sass[dot]trent[at]gmail[dot]com with an address of where to send you your prize! Congrats to the winners and stay tuned for more giveaways.

Come on people! Enter my giveaway (:

I am opening entries to include facebook posts about my blog giveaway. I'll edit the previous post to include this.

Good luck to all! Just a couple days left before the contest closes and the drawing takes place.

photo shoot vanity (NSFW probably)

With Christmas nearing so quickly, one of my ideas (Michael's idea really) was to make calendars as gifts for my friends and family. Naturally, the pictures for the calendar would be pictures of me.

Last night Michael and I did a quick photoshoot and here are some of the looks we got:

Undetermined month. Cristal Connors look.


Summer fun. June.


January?




Also, I've been trying to become a lookbook.nu celebrity and so I've been posting some of my outfits there. Here's the latest one. The lighting in the stairwell where I live is beautiful. Click here to hype it or other looks I've posted.





PS Here are the stockings I made:


From L to R: Archie's (he's a cat, so he gets a mouse on his), mine which is just plain ridiculous looking, Peter's (with a paintbrush), Garrett's (with a camera).

PPS This is my 199th post. I don't know what I'm going to do for my 200th, but get ready.

Rodarte for Target?

no no no!

Just went through all my favorites and picked some pieces I thought you might like to see. Of particular interest to me was restlessthings. Her shop is filled with all kinds of weird cool pieces. Sigh and Groan (see: owl with three boobs)is also one of my favorite artists on etsy and it was very hard to pick just one piece from her collection for this feature.

a) "Yellow Ten Speed Road Bike" - Limited Edition Art Print by HillarieTasche. From Series 14 Bicycles.
b) "The Lion and the Lamb Driving a Motorcycle" Art Print by lulunjay
c) Would you like a shower of red color today, Miss? Art Print by vantiani

Who are you favorite artists?

How do you pronounce "hanger?"

hanger
n
1. a. any support, such as a hook, strap, peg, or loop, on or by which something may be hung
b. See coat hanger
2. a. a person who hangs something
b. (in combination) paperhanger
3. (Engineering / Automotive Engineering) a bracket designed to attach one part of a mechanical structure to another, such as the one that attaches the spring shackle of a motor car to the chassis
4. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Forestry) a wood on a steep hillside, characteristically beech growing on chalk in southern England
5. (Military / Arms & Armour (excluding Firearms))
a. a loop or strap on a sword belt from which a short sword or dagger was hung
b. the weapon itself

Do you pronounce this word with a soft "ng" sound? Or do you pronounce it with a hard g?

Does "singer" rhyme with "finger?" It's an important question that has been plaguing this household. Please vote on the poll which uses the example does"hanger" rhyme perfectly with "anger?" to help settle this conflict.
