Hello my Oranges and PaulNikons,




My trip to Florida is coming soon, and i am kinda excited and kinda nauseous. Something about the sunshine state makes me not just nervous, but completely on edge. Like a spelling bee, wrapped in a first date, wrapped in a job interview. I feel like everybody there are either the girls who bullied me in middle school or my bitchy great aunt who always tells me i am getting fat.


But Harry Potter world is in Florida, and as an obnoxious potter nerd i have to make pilgrimage.

I am gonna drink butter beer, i am gonna eat all the candies, i am gonna have hotel sex, i am gonna get a wand and i will share awful pictures of me in nothing but my new HP gear

so my lovelies, tell me about a place you love.

or your opinions on florida

i need a little love, post me some sweet songs.

hello my peeek a boos and sneak preveiws.


a little preview of Early Bird.








Lorelei took the pictures, Brittan did my make up and gave me that weird love light


Off topic, any ideas for what to do with leftover flat champagne? i have half a bottle and don't want to throw it out

Hello my spinach dips and tiny cubes of cheese with toothpicks in them,



You wanna know the worst part about naming SG sets?


Picking out a name without obvious fat/ugly jokes in it. I am oddly sure that a good percentage will go for the pun over a genuine comment. And i often feel like i have to skate around those who think they are amusing somebody with their comment.

I still want to get a plus size japanese schoolgirl outfit for a "Big in Japan" set, despite the haters.

I have been invited to more parties this week then i have been in my whole life, my dance card is delightfully full. I love the excuse to wear lipstick and sexy shoes, but i know by the end i will miss my cat and my television, and will be dreaming of my chenille bathrobe.

I have been on a mulled wine kick, it really does wonders for the awful cheap red wines i insist on buying for myself, and makes them last a bit longer. I'm not even sure i like red wine, every bottle (accept the very expensive and the champagne) ends up in sangria or sauce or wine cake and hardly ever gets drunk (drank?) in the traditional way. Maybe i should stick to white?

Someone recently pointed out that i have a heavy california accent, I think they may be right.

My dog learned to use the litter box, by himself, because he is the cutest and cleverest dog in the world.


Any one have a good instructional video? i want to learn something new.

How do I know I'm famous?

i have 2 fake twitter accounts.



i'm ready for my close up Mr. Damille

Hello my secret gardens and little princesses,



Are any of you insomniacs? I have not been sleeping a wink this last week. Well....unless you count every time i try to watch The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus on netflix then i fall asleep instantly. I don't know what it is about that movie, i even get the feeling that i would like it if i could just stay awake.

I've had this problem before.when I was 19 i had terrible bouts of insomnia, i would go for days without sleeping and i would go a bit mad, leaving things in weird places and not recognizing people i love. I would go for days without real sleep untill i picked up The Odyssey my required reading for a english class. I would never get more then 3 pages in without slipping away.


My lack of sleep and surplus of loneliness has me looking a bit sad waifish, dispite my solid healthy frame. I wonder why sad and wistfull works for some ladies and not for me? I need some sleep and some sunshine


So this week I ask, what puts you to sleep?

oh! _Nate_ made me my first .gif

so excited!




oh oh and Lottey made me this




i love .gifs i may be addicted

hello my snickerdoodles and mad dutchmen,

I moved into my first apartment on Christmas day, and did it alone. When i was done i was tired, I was cold, I was broke and.......

I was locked out.

So I did what i usually do when i am in trouble, I sat in my hallway and cried. When I has been crying for 10 minutes i heard a tap tap tap down the hall and a jingling sound,


santa?







no! Drag Queens!! 6 of them!! in full hair and make-up, walking up my hallway. they invited me in, fed me bourbon spiked eggnog and ginger cookies and let me use their phone. They sent me home with the recipe for the cookies, and a book about alchemy symbols.

the weird part? I never saw them again, even though we lived next door.



Ginger Molasses Cookies

adapted from my neighbor from my first apartments recipe

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 teaspoon ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup canola oil

1 cup sugar plus more for rolling

1 large egg

1/2 cup molasses

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat together the oil and sugar for 2 – 3 minutes. Add the egg and molasses, and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Put a small amount of sugar in a small bowl. Using a teaspoon, scoop dough and drop into the sugar bowl. Roll into a ball and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Leave several inches between cookies to allow for expansion. Bake for 10 minutes.


still no computer, love you all

Hello my Velvet Undergrounds and Nicos,

I know I have been gone, and i'm sorry my doves.

My computer is busted and i won't have it for a week.

But in the meantime i have been sulking around the city. Wearing to much eyeliner for an adult.

Philadelphia is a great city for mopeing around, its old and tough and it's very very dirty, and it has a great combination of dark "jack the ripper" alleys and broad open "face in a crowd" streets. I have been feeling very cinematic in my black coat and high heels. Like Sofia Coppola was directing a misguided and terrible short about my moody week.

Mopeing brings out the romantic in me, and therefore the pop fan in me, so I have been very fond of mopey mushy songs, and oddly attached to this strange bubble gum pop song



and this pretty little number


post your favorite pop song in the comments

Hello my Jolly Ranchers and Juciy Fruits,
