…ask me stuff…
Picture via this site.
It just dawned on me that this blog is 2 years old (tomorrow…I think…don’t feel like checking…and I suck at dates).
** UPDATE: Ok, I checked. Turns out it was August 12th…yeaaaaaaaaaaah. **
Anyway, to “celebrate” I’m going to do a Question & Answer post.
Fire away.
…OHAI!..
For all the new folks…and the not so new folks…a video of me rambling, sniffling, and pretending I’m LL Cool J circa 1998…
I should have put on some lip gloss or something…sorry…

Thanks again to Coco & Creme and to all of y’all! I love you like play cousins. =D
…the story of cosmetics…

This and Food, Inc. have me on the cusp of an entire shift in what I buy to put in and on my body. I’m all for going green and carbon footprint reduction in terms of slowing environmental wreckage, but this, THIS provides an entirely different motive. Learning that the ingreedients in products and food (produced by SELF-POLICING industries) could be responsible for the rising incidences in cancer, illnesses, and disorders has BLOWN my mind…and scared the shit out of me.
Thoughts?
UPDATE: Here are some links provided by Lady World for your consideration. Let’s be proactive (from our desks) people!!!
- Search products and their toxicity levels at the Campaign for Safe Cosmetic’s Skin Deep Database.
- Sign the petition for the FDA to ban lead in cosmetics.
- Read about the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010.
Thank you, Lady World!
…it’s over, so don’t GO NOW…
Steve Madden is having a sale that ends tonight at midnight.
Steve Madden Nataliaa; photo from here
Several pairs of shoes, including the ones above sported by the lovely Joelle of The Owls Are Not What They Seem, are now $39.99. Because the shoes are on clearance, they are an ADDITIONAL 40% off with the code 40clearance. After taxes and shipping, they will cost you around $30.
I figured I’d share the info since I just copped myself a pair about an hour ago.
UPDATE: I hope you guys got a chance to get on these before the sale ended, because they shot right back up to $109 as soon as midnight EST hit. A friend of mine was actually mid-order when it happened…the site froze and she had to refresh.
Yeah, she didn’t get the shoes. =(
…sale time…
…OH EM GEE…
It’s contest/giveaway time, guys.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!
Since I like to make things as fun as possible (and because you wonderful people are the wind beneath this blog’s wings), I’m going to allow you all the chance to let your fuckery flags fly high in pursuit of a DRKGMTRY 006 necklace.
The 006 necklace. Last seen here.
All you have to do to enter this here contest is watch the video below and answer the following question:
What is this cat staring at?
Most hall-of-fame-worthy comment wins. Text, e-collages, videos, and carrier pigeon messages will all be accepted. Contest will run through this Sunday night, so get creative. =D
…for the visually impaired…
The lovely Sarah Von recently posted about being a girl who doesn’t feel so great in her glasses. After a bad experience early in her youth, she converted to contacts and left her frames up on the shelf.
My heart bled just a little bit.
It bled even more when I read comment after comment about people who hate their glasses.
Aghast at the thought, I yelled “…but, they’re beautiful! If you find frames that suit your face shape and personality, the heavens open up and somewhere in the world, a puppy is born. You’ll love them forever and will feel naked when you don’t have them on…”
I dont’ think anyone heard me.
Call me crazy, but I’m a firm believer that if you have to wear glasses, you should embrace your blindness and go bold. Coming from a family of women whom I rarely saw without some sort of combination of plastic and metal balanced on their nose bridges, I knew that I was sooner or later going to follow suit. By 8th grade, I officially became a lopsided astigmatic, geeked that I would finally be able to pick out a pair for myself. Since that time, my affinity for having ”four eyes” has only grown.
There was one time I tried contacts…well, they were colored contacts (because that was the hot thing to do when I was in high school…don’t judge…), but I figured if I could do those, I could do prescriptions in the future. Umm, no. I spent AN HOUR trying to put ONE in. By the time I said “fuck this,” I looked like I’d broken up with the love of my life and had spent three days crying about it. Not a good look.
For the past three years, I’ve wanted my glasses to be bigger and bolder. They’ve become an extension of me and as such, need to be a little bit…more…than what you would get at your optometrist’s office. Praise Jah that a very good friend of mine owns a shop that meets that need.
Nestled in a little cove on the edge of Echo Park and Silverlake is a place filled with high-end, rare vintage and select new glasses in a myriad of styles and shapes. This place is called Gentlemen’s Breakfast. Many people ask me where I get my glasses. I get them from here.
The mini whiskey bar – essential when trying on multiple expensive, easily breakable things
All vintage Yves Saint Laurent everything
Be honest: you thought of either Elton John, Rihanna or Lady Gaga when you saw these…
Just so we’re clear, this is not a subsidized advertisement. GB did not ask me to post this. As I said earlier, everyone who wears glasses should fully embrace their impairment and find a kickass pair that suits them. Be proud of your glasses, dammit! You’ve earned the right to wear them, unlike certain types of unscrupulous people who wear them just for show…or without lenses…but that’s a different post entirely. You should have first pick at the good ish and GB has the good ish. Word is bond.
If you ever make it down there in real life, tell Van and Tom I sent you; it’ll make me look good the next time I go. =P
…wasting time…
Here are some fun(ny) things I found on the internets. Blame the next two hours of your life on me.
Because we all know Tyra secretly believes she started it all. Model Creationism.
A recipe site catered to those with an affinity for profanity. What The Fuck Should I Make For Dinner?
A man on a mission to recycle/reuse what she left behind. My Ex Wife’s Wedding Dress.

You should have first pick at the good ish and GB has the good ish. Word is bond.
If you ever make it down there in real life, tell Van and Tom I sent you; it’ll make me look good the next time I go. =P
…wasting time…
Here are some fun(ny) things I found on the internets. Blame the next two hours of your life on me.
Because we all know Tyra secretly believes she started it all. Model Creationism.
A recipe site catered to those with an affinity for profanity. What The Fuck Should I Make For Dinner?
A man on a mission to recycle/reuse what she left behind. My Ex Wife’s Wedding Dress.
“Your silence says a lot. Mainly, you haven’t got the intellect to say something mildly witty. Or intelligent. Or anything of substance. You are, by definition, a fuck-up.” Sleep Talkin’ Man.
The best form of birth control. Shit My Kids Ruined.

…for the visually impaired…
The lovely Sarah Von recently posted about being a girl who doesn’t feel so great in her glasses. After a bad experience early in her youth, she converted to contacts and left her frames up on the shelf.
My heart bled just a little bit.
It bled even more when I read comment after comment about people who hate their glasses.
Aghast at the thought, I yelled “…but, they’re beautiful! If you find frames that suit your face shape and personality, the heavens open up and somewhere in the world, a puppy is born. You’ll love them forever and will feel naked when you don’t have them on…”
I dont’ think anyone heard me.
Call me crazy, but I’m a firm believer that if you have to wear glasses, you should embrace your blindness and go bold. Coming from a family of women whom I rarely saw without some sort of combination of plastic and metal balanced on their nose bridges, I knew that I was sooner or later going to follow suit. By 8th grade, I officially became a lopsided astigmatic, geeked that I would finally be able to pick out a pair for myself. Since that time, my affinity for having ”four eyes” has only grown.
There was one time I tried contacts…well, they were colored contacts (because that was the hot thing to do when I was in high school…don’t judge…), but I figured if I could do those, I could do prescriptions in the future. Umm, no. I spent AN HOUR trying to put ONE in. By the time I said “fuck this,” I looked like I’d broken up with the love of my life and had spent three days crying about it. Not a good look.
For the past three years, I’ve wanted my glasses to be bigger and bolder. They’ve become an extension of me and as such, need to be a little bit…more…than what you would get at your optometrist’s office. Praise Jah that a very good friend of mine owns a shop that meets that need.
Nestled in a little cove on the edge of Echo Park and Silverlake is a place filled with high-end, rare vintage and select new glasses in a myriad of styles and shapes. This place is called Gentlemen’s Breakfast. Many people ask me where I get my glasses. I get them from here.
The mini whiskey bar – essential when trying on multiple expensive, easily breakable things
All vintage Yves Saint Laurent everything
Be honest: you thought of either Elton John, Rihanna or Lady Gaga when you saw these…
Just so we’re clear, this is not a subsidized advertisement. GB did not ask me to post this.
