SHE WORE WHAT?! A safety pin to prevent static cling

Every once in a while I want to shed my sweet clothes like a snake and put on a new badass skin. That usually means one of two things. My Wisconsin Skinny brass knuckle jacket or my ModCloth Like a Boss-y spiked jacket. Today, I felt like a boss-y. For some reason people look at [...]

DIY Olive Oil Hair Treatment

Last night, Mister and I met some friends for a night of Rockabilly music in downtown Rochester. L’Assassins and Reckless Ones being our entertainment for the evening. In the spirit of L’Assassins post-apocolyptic vixen rock, I wanted to sport an edgier hairstyle for the event. So I teased tortured my bangs into a suicide roll of [...]

ART FOR YOUR HEAD {on a roll}

I have been growing my hair out for quite some time now. Two years. It has finally reached a length where I can start playing with it. Also known as the “awkward stage”. You know, the one where it’s long, but not long enough. If leave it down, it is all over the place. But, [...]

When will this week{end} project actually end?

Mister has been home on vacation this week, so it has been pretty quiet here in blogland. All work and no play. Remember those snaps I posted of my weekend projects? Yeah… still working on those. Weekend has turned into weeklong, but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. [...]
