Kickass Keyboard Design Concept of the Day: The Picture Keyboard by Christopher Monro DeLorenzo.
DeLorenzo explains:
We used to learn our alphabets by reading those classroom banners that associated each letter with an animal or object. These days as kids become increasingly computer dependent at an early age I thought it was about time to adapt an old method to a new medium. From cultural icons to greek mythology, this keyboard sticker set will advance the alphabetical knowledge of any child, or adult.
You had me at B is for Bowie.

Mr. Anderson & Mr. Fox
e, i pretty much agree with you. carol hannah should win, irina can suck it, AND they should bring back ra’mon. but you’re right, irina will probably win.

I’m not one to spoil things, but give me a break the last episode aired almost a week ago and has been on the internet for five days now. So here are my hopes and more realistic expectations for the two part finale, airing tomorrow and next week. (Finale party, anyone?)
Who I Want To Win, in order:
1. Carol Hannah
Oh my Charleston dear, you are just adorable with your y’alls and your cute dresses. This is not even to say that your designs are the best, but I just like you. You’re the only truly genuinely nice person left and I’m even sad you never made out with Logan, even though I thought he was kind of silly.
2. Althea
I’ve liked you ever since you made that adorable jacket and skirt thing, but lately you’ve been falling into the black hole of cattiness and I am not a fan. Also, you’re a secret giant. I know this shouldn’t bother me, since I’m over six feet in heels myself, but seeing you cower over the short girls just reminds me of how stupid I must look part of the time.
3. Irina
Yeah, yeah, you design very nice stuff and I wouldn’t want to wear any of it. And, you’re a snob. I can tell when you’re going to win and I often agree, but I just don’t want you to. And this is coming from someone who much prefers brunettes over blondes! I’d pick two blonde chicks over you any day! (Superficial much? Oh yeah.)
Who I Think Will Actually Win
1. Irina - Queen Mean will rise to the top and the world will collectively roll their eyes and hope that next season is more exciting.
2. Althea - middle is gold. Or something.
3. Carol Hannah - in the preview, she is sick, very sick. Perhaps H1N1? OR MAYBE! She got mono from making out with Logan! Either way, her being so sick will make for good “oh no our poor dear” moments but her work will suffer and the judges will be all, oh well, too bad.
Other sort of related notes:
1. Christopher Straub is really, really nice. And he liked my Forever 21 necklace. So I have a soft spot in my heart for him. But his work went downhill from a promising beginning and never seemed to recover. I wish him the best, but it makes sense that he’s not at Fashion Week.
2. Ra’mon getting cut was total bullshit, am I right? I still wonder what he could have come up with if they weren’t idiots.
3. I really miss season 2. I was looking at the winners of last seasons and I didn’t even remember that some chick named Leanne existed and won. Daniel Franco, where did you go, indeed. (There used to be much better versions of that, sighhhh)
wiener party! 3 brown wiener dogs and 1 black wiener butt.

I went as Low Resolution for Halloween.
The shirt took forever to paint, and my face only took slightly forever.

getting ready for the rock n roll halloween at the 331 in northeast mpls last night. lady gaga, gay cowboy from the village people, amy winehouse and bjork. this has to be the best costume i ever made. i got at least 5 random people asking me if they can take a picture with bjork. i should’ve taken my glasses off though.
2 pumpkins and a little lion
spent 5 hrs today to finish my costume for tomorrow. i don’t own a sewing machine so i hand sewn everything. i just need to add some feathers and it’s going to be awesome!
Truffles, a Christmas tradition. I feel like I’m in the opening credits of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when I drizzle the white chocolate...
