Trash the Dress

About: This is perhaps the tame and graceful bit of the series. This was shot for 'trash the dress' - a publication featuring wedding fashion that gets destroyed in the process of the shoot. Every girl has that dress in her closet..that aweful, ugly bridesmaid dress that should be lit afire..this is one of those dresses.

I hate dresses - particularly those in horrid Easter egg pastels - yet my best friend is finally getting married (and going slightly insane in the process) so I spent much of the day trying on overpriced and utterly silly dresses I will never wear again. It seems so wasteful.
While her older sister's toddler was screaming and crawling on the floor like a bilingual monkey (French/English) in need of Ritalin, much of my time was spent suggesting that Martha Stewart pastels and sequins were a bit much and subtle designs preferable.

Does anyone understand WTF is going on in Guam BTW? The Democrats have such a Byzantine system.

I was only joking

The Tipping Point

California First Lady Maria Shriver is the surprise guest at the Oprah Winfrey/Caroline Kennedy/Michelle Obama rally at UCLA -- and she's come out for Barack Obama. She just took the stage to thunderous applause, saying, ''I'm standing here not because I'm cousins with her,'' she said, looking at her cousin, Caroline. ''Or because I'm friends with her,'' she said, looking at Oprah.

''I believe that elections are a lot like love, they're made up of moments...and the more I thought about it, the more I thought that this election is about a moment.''

''This is not just about the Democratic party..this is also about California,'' she said.

''If Barack Obama was a state, he'd be California.''

Cheers all around. Her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, endorsed John McCain last week. Should be interesting around the household this week.

Ode to my Gram

Curt's Groovy Grandma reminded me so much of mine who was also a notorious packrat I thought I'd post a few images of her "junque".
This will be a work in progress, because there's tons of it.

The lunchbox collage.


An art school assignment...





P.S. I suspect Vista is a junta plot!

P.P.S. For my Gram's sake I'd like to mention this is Little Flower's feast day.
