Revised Fanime list
(like you didn't see this coming)

Fare thee well, Mimic and Lolibot. I've been working solidly on the mimic for the last week, but after yesterday's 10 hour taping and painting session I'm only half-way done with the details. So, its now for AX.
Same goes for the lolibot. I was worried about the wings getting squished en route anyway.

So that leaves:
Aries
Moro (masquerade)

I have tonight after work and possibly an hour or two on Tuesday and Wednesday since I work both of those nights.

Mmmmm....working 7 days a week + sewing for a con = hurhur fai

Salty Chips #25: Sunday Night Hannah
SETTING: Rey-Rey's Dungeon.

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
On a blazin' hot Sunday night, I'm watchin' a blazin' hot TV show. On the computer. Wow...

I bet most people on my friends list watch this. And most of 'em don't want to admit it.

Or maybe I'm just crazy.

PREVIEW IN WORDS
"Not a fan of Jackson..."

HANNAH MONTANA (on the TV show, of course): "All I had to rehearse was... WASSUP, GIRLFRIEND?!?!'"

A LITTLE EXTRA
If people want to suggest me some music, go comment on this post. I am always willing to listen to new music.

WIP: Sugar Picnic
This is a test colour & sketch of my work in progress - I think I've definately decided that I'm going to probably stick to this sort of style. it's still very heavily anime/manga looking but I"m hoping to develop it more from now on.

It's very loliesque, I based the dress off the Fruits Parlor print from Angelic Pretty. I have to say that FRUITS PARLOUR and Angelic Pretty, who was at one time, my LEAST favourite of the loli brands; has definitely saved the lolita for me.

I was really bored with Lolita in general when AP started donning it's huge Marie Antoinette (aka more ROCOCO) looking wigs along with these sugar infused colourful looks. I really adore their website yaplog and find myself really REALLY VERY interested in buying this if i can - and we all know that i NEVER spend $200 for anything except bills & parking tickets.

I'm hoping that in the coming weeks/days/mo i can get more paint and realize this drawing =). I have a few others i'm working at the moment as well but this one seems more concrete than the others.

biggus maximus favorus
Can anyone going to Fanime do me a HUGE favor?

I need someone to win this auction and have the item shipped to their Fanime hotel.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160239954021&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006

I can paypal you immediately or give you cash at the convention.

For whatever reason this lady blocked me from bidding on all of her auctions after I sent a message inquiring after express shipping. She has "people" ship her packages three times a week, so I figure if it's sent via USPS priority it will definitely arrive by Saturday at the convention.

So... halp?   D:

Music Of My Heart
Dear Mustard,

How did my night go?

JEREMIAH: "That's okay. For me, there are a lot more fish in the sea."
REY-REY: "If you can find the fish."


YouTube time!

Ha ha ha ha ha. Only because I think this is hilarious.



MV031: Give Me A Shake by MAX

I want to know the evil soul that introduced me to this song. I know that either Beerman or/and Kie put this song back in my mind. But I knew I heard it before a long, long time ago. Who was it?!

Oh, well. It doesn't matter. Give me, give me shake is one of the catchiest hooks ever. I mean, come on! GIVE ME, GIVE ME SHAKE!

And, yes, I'm aware that Lionel loves MAX. By the way, I hope he's hangin' in there. I read about his condition.

Anyway, what is this post about?! I am SO going to regret this but (save me, Chas)...

...as of late, friends have been telling me to give certain musical artists a shot. So I'm going to let them rain on this one. Whether it's...

*Karrie with Blackalicious.
*Holland with Lyrics Born.
*Shadz with Arashi.
*Katie, Kie, Michi (if I didn't put her name she said that she would kick me), and Gertrude with anything Hello! Project.
*Sarah with anything J-Rock.
*Tim with anything Sharpay Evans.
*Loy with anything Hannah Montana.
(EDIT @ 12:52 A.M.: Air is getting me into some Angela Aki. Good stuff.)

...suggest any other music that I should listen to. Contrary to popular belief, I can listen to anything. ANYTHING. As long as it is good music (does anyone listen to country?). I prefer that people leave YouTube videos.

This way, I'll be forced to listen to 'em instead of going out of my way to look for 'em. I go out of my way to look for a lot of stuff as is. So people can SPAM all the YouTube videos they want in this post. Or, hell, any post... but I'd prefer it to be this one so it can be a lot more organized.

Let's see who can hypnotize Rey-Rey the best here.



Besides her.

needs more music,

I'd like one order of boobs, please
I had a wildly unsuccessful trip to Twin Falls today. End result: Aries will not be worn unless I can find a white, pink, or nude bustier.

Attention ladies

Does anyone have a bustier (34 B or C) that I can borrow at Fanime?
or
Would anyone be willing to include a quick stop into a lingerie store on their last minute fabric district excursion?

I desperately miss my proximity to the fabric district, where a perfect bustier can be purchased for $15-$25.   ;_; Soon...

-----

edit - I'm in serious WTF mode right now.
Last night I found a really good bustier that is similar to what I've found in the fabric district, asked the seller a question about express shipping, went to bid this morning and founnd out I've been blocked from bidding on that seller's listings (all of them, not just that one). WHAT?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160239576225&ssPageName=h:h:alt:3

Damnit, even if I couldn't get it sent express I was just going to have it sent to the hotel. wtf, lady?

Drinking whiskey and watching Elfen Lied with my not gay/gay roommate/friend Dustin:

Back On The Block
Dear Mustard,

Frightening as this may be, I have to post this.



MV030: New Kids On The Block Perform Medley On Today Show

The comeback is complete now, eh? I know Miss Tristen Citrine would be thrilled about this. Songs in this medley include Step By Step, Hangin' Tough, and The Right Stuff.

I was alerted to this by a friend... and, well, what do ya know? It's like they never left. They really are talented and they sounded better than I thought they would. I'm GLAD they sang live considering we get so many lip-synching acts nowadays.

I think it's hilarious that most of their groupies seem like they're thirty-somethings (acting like teenagers, too!). And it's even more funny that there are men in the audience (let alone men in the audience that seem to legitimately like them). Says the 29-year-old dude that went out of his way to post this YouTube video.

There are actually three parts to this performance.

They perform their new song, Summertime, in this link. I really like this song. But five thirty-somethings singing about the summertime? Wow.

And they perform an oldie, Tonight, behind this link.

Now they can corner the boy band market! Ummmm... yeah, except there really isn't much of a market right now. But I guess this is how 'N SYNC's going to be if they reunite in five years or so... have old groupies like the Dirty Old Men On The Block.

So what's next in the music biz? Their comebacks?



Save me, Chas.

Narcissism, Doodles, GALBI, and BARCADE
>> 22in human-hair extension sets here<<

So, it's 4:47AM! I haven't slept. Infact I've been finally editing pictures for a picture post (a month over due). but here is a long dialup unfriendly post. I also skipped out on BSG for a 2nd week - >_< i know i'm bad!!! I'll watch it I promise!

Last night (THIS NIGHT TECHNICALY) I went to Korean BBQ & Barcade with the homies! [info]iamchubbybunny, [info]neku_niku, [info]thatcalliecat, and some other very cool peeps. I took FOREVER getting ready cause I couldn't decide what to wear even though I had the colour Idea in my head!! I got overly stuffed and then Michelle tried to pawn her very warm and untasty Saporro beer on me >__< beer is no good. So these are just pictures of me as I left my camera in the car 1/2 way through the night. I'll try to get to the like 4grp shots I have of us at Dong IL Jang. OK?


SPOOL UP THE FTL! JUMP! )

also been steadily trying to remember to doodle at lunch every day before or after my nap. I only did 3 days this week. Still REALLY REALLY rusty, and I really don't like my "style" too much. I want to sort of pull away from the obvious manga (leaning on Yazawa Ai) look and come into my own.

What's On The News?
Dear Mustard,

It is now May 17th. What's on tap?

Of course, the usual NBA Playoff update.

2008 NBA Playoffs! )

Tony, Nelson, and I were doing our usual Laker AIM chats when the sexy chicas from K-CAL Channel 9 News of Los Angeles were brought up. After the Laker game, I left on Channel 9 for a second. Tony kept joking to me that Channel 9 brings the news. I never watch the news. I get my news on the 'Net and stuff. Anyway...

...to make it quick, this is what I got from Channel 9 news...

Who was covering Kimbo Slice? Sharon Tay.

And then something about Playboy auditions. Holly Madison is all up on that.

More news! )

>> 22" HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS HERE <<

Gained weight. FUCK. -.- Have been working out tho - i don't understand it. Havent taken a real picture since April - depressed about this weight. Wasn't all that excited about the new Egg or Ranzuki. No, my love for Haady hasn't sizzled, rather I was displeased with the photography & concepts. They were kind of 1/2 assed looking.

Also, recently noticed Sakurina (Rina Sakurai) who, looks cute in 1/2 her pictures, and then BAFing (busted as frak) in some others. I cannot deduce

GOODBAD (L)

Love the hair in that 2nd picture but Rina, you looking BAF'ed.
Also saw this picture in the most recent Posh, isn't POSH supposed to be more like onee-gyaru? Looking pretty Haady SPANK to me.

Going out with [info]iamchubbybunny  again today (WUAHHA) and [info]thatcalliecat ! WHOO HOO? CAN I GET A W00T?! Apparently we're going to a BARCADE. Should be interesting and I need something physical to work off my poundage. Thank god it's FRIDAY. The highlight of my week has LITERALLY BEEN, hanging out with Michelle and Sheyne telling me about DOLLHOUSE >> ANYTHING with Tahmoh Penikett (Lt. Karl C. 'HELO' Agathon) is A OK by me.

So apparently
I'm done with skoo :) I gradjeeated. Yup, all done and whatever.

Sonow I have all this time! I'ma get caught up on orders, work on the con and do shit! Anyone wanna help me with:

Picture by Photosynthetique.com

So I had a shoot on Saturday for this magazine thing that's happening this fall and this is one of my faves. I haven't had professional pics taken of myself since 1999. Ha! Senior pictures! So anyway, Drayke is the fucking shit. If any of you ever have the chance to work with him, you should jump at it.

Another List Of 100
Dear Mustard,

Happy Birthday to John/Yohn.

Before I get to the meat of this entry, let's do this first...

Only one game for the NBA Playoffs...

New Orleans Hornets 80 @ San Antonio Spurs 99 (Series tied, 3-3)
If the first six games were any indication, Game 7 will be won by the Hornets in the third quarter.

Let's hope that's not the case. I want a real close game. Except I want San Antonio to win, only because of that free dinner... and to finally erase the Curse of Beerman.

Now... for the main event...

I am very aware of California's overturning of the gay marriage ban. Ya know, this is going to be a long fight. Personally, I'm just all for letting people live their lives.

Of course, we all play that Is Rey-Rey really gay? game. But, honestly, why would I be gay if there's something like this right in front of my face?

I know that I will never get tired of looking at hot women. As some people already know, the Maxim Hot 100 list was released earlier today.

Click here for the Maxim Hot 100 list.

But here are the Top 10. Some of it's somewhat surprising...

10. Ashley Tisdale
9. Lindsay Lohan
8. Christina Aguilera
7. Eva Mendes
6. Elisha Cuthbert
5. Sarah Michelle Gellar
4. Eva Longoria-Parker
3. Jessica Biel
2. Scarlett Johansson

1. Marisa Miller

I'm amazed that Britney Spears is #19 on the list. Hell, I'm amazed that she's on the list, period. I liked her eight years ago when she was like the ultimate sex goddess... and I'm sure she can be sexy again sometime... but right now? Nah. At least, they have Julianne Hough (#30) in this list. The Beerman should be happy that his sweet Vanessa Hudgens is at #12. FHM's #1, Megan Fox (ATTRACTIVE!), is #16 in Maxim's. (EDIT @ 1:18 P.M. I had no idea that Megan Fox turned 22 today!)

I'm actually surprised that both HSM chicks are that high up in the list. And Lacey Chabert (#90) is way too low in that list.

I must be getting old. Emma Watson's (#94) already 18?

And how come this chick isn't in the list? And this chick? And that chick? And her? And her, too? And ESPECIALLY her.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I will have educational conversations about the Maxim Hot 100 in the following days (weeks) to come.

But who am I to complain about Marisa Miller, right? ATTRACTIVE.

i am lover,

Thursday is the new Monday
Long crappy day with drama at both places of work. Issues with my schedule at job #1, issues with "customer attentiveness" at job #2. The former is frustrating because my scheduling needs were made 100% clear before they hired me, the latter is cry-worthy because each issue arose from pure chance and shitty timing.

I want nothing more than to call in sick tomorrow so that I can de-stress and sew, but I can't because 1)I need the money; 2)It would only make things worse at work; and 3) I can't pull that shit off while living with my dad.

I need to sleep, but I got home at 11:30 and have a lot I need to do online. Oh woe is me.

At least I got tipped well tonight.

Don't Want To Lose Anymore
Dear Mustard,

I look real faded.

Save me, Chas. Twice.

Dammit. Go, Spurs. Only because I don't want to buy Nelson dinner. I just realized that I am like... 0-for-10 on bets against this guy. I should just like... NOT bet against him.

Game Night. Finally... something accomplished... )

After that, we made a quick trip to Nick's place (where his dog, Sasha, licked my hand for 10 minutes...) to get more games to beat.

Like GunStar Heroes.


NBA Showtime for DreamCast.

And we started taking turns on our quest to beat Mega Man X2.

See how much we got done without the nerdy Beerman for our Game Nights? Ha ha.

Still... I want me some Secret of Mana and Tales of ____ multiplayer action.

Anyway, I just wanted to say this.

I would just like to let everyone know that I'm a girl, and I like ribbons in my hair, and I want to kiss all the boys.

Actually, no. I was just staring at...

kill me,

Russians Invade Solana Beach, CA… More News to Follow!

Andrey at Solana BeachHe’ll probably shoot me for posting this, but that’s OK. A cute picture I took of Andrey caught unawares during a quick trip to Solana Beach. Now mind you, we’re not really “beach people” and we went to try to grab a different style of harness for Maggie (which she destroyed even faster). After a Pizza Port trip, we needed to walk about so we ended up at the beach… where a surfer had recently been attacked and killed by a shark.

You can’t see it too well here, but he’s actually grown out a pretty impressive beard. He’s getting tired of it already, which I can understand. It’s hot here and it’s only going to get hotter. It’s kinda cool though. I’m generally pro-beard.
