The breast dress...

I needed a dress the other night for the Austin Under 40 Awards, so I contacted Sunny Haralson of RubyPearl, who made my Stupid Cupid dress. She invited me over to try on a few things she just made:
















This one fit best, but it reminded Carl too much of a Renaissance dress, so we passed. I love her stuff, though! I intend to buy other dresses from her, they're so funky & different!

Pretty in Pink...

I've been trying to figure out what the heck I'm wearing to our big Valentine's Day Event, but then we drove by a vintage store today and I saw this dress in the window:
























I fell in love with it! Apparently it's a large child size, but that's never stopped me before. The brand is called RubyPearl, made by a lady here in Austin. She has an Etsy store and she makes all of her dresses out of vintage materials. If I had a little girl, I would dress her in RubyPearl dresses every day, have tea parties, and frolic about aimlessly!

Action Jeans...

Our buddy Ben Kiowski sent this over as a recommendation for his next Christmas gift:
























For some, the left testicle is larger than the right one. For Chuck Norris, each testicle is larger than the other one.

In the beginning there was nothing...then Chuck Norris Roundhouse kicked that nothing in the face and said "Get a job". That is the story of the universe.

The last thing you hear before Chuck Norris gives you a roundhouse kick? No one knows because dead men tell no tales.

Chuck Norris invented a language that incorporates karate and roundhouse kicks. So next time Chuck Norris is kicking your ass, don’t be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

Our very own Super DB...

Apparently Diego read my blog from yesterday because he walked in to work this morning dressed like this:

Super DB...

We were leaving the office yesterday when we saw 3 dudes going to a bar. One of them stood out due to his baggy pants, hat cocked sideways, both ears pierced and a puca shell necklace.

And that's when we realized that some douchebags are on their own level! We now refer to them as "Super Douchebags". Similar to Super Delegates. They are special and should be approached with great care, as they will attempt to drive you straight to Abercrombie & Fitch in their mom's station wagon, rap along to Eminem songs, and call you "yo".

Here is an example:



Confused? Here's an instructional video:

Poodle Skirt...

I meant to blog about this yesterday while I was still wearing the inspiration, but I didn't have a chance. They say scent has the strongest memory recall...

I got to the office on Thursday morning, wearing what I felt was a cute outfit...my newest pair of jeans, orange girly shirt with a yellow tank top over it. Purple shoes. Taste the rainbow.

The day was starting out well. I'd walked down to get a Jamba Juice and I knew a friend would be stopping by to talk biz. I sat down in my chair (it's totally badass, it used to be Carl's but he hated it and thought it was tacky. It is, but that's why I like it).

Then I smelled something funky. I looked around, but I hadn't been a major slob lately. So I started the sniff test. Hair: lavender. Orange shirt: baby powder. Tank top: body splash. And then I arrived at the pants.

Good golly, did I spoon a German Shepherd last night in bed??!

I threw my knee within inches of Carl's handsome face and demanded that he confirm the essence of canine was stewing on my lower limbs.

It was true. Sexy.

I think this happens when clothes are still slightly damp when you take them out of the dryer. Either that or I need to stop washing my clothes with recycled water from the local doggie shelter.

We don't have any pets and this has made me want to stay within 50 yards of anything with a tail. But sometimes they remove the tails off of dogs and then their bums just wiggle when they're happy.

The end.
