Day 158 … Rainy days = lots of napping.

Thanks to everyone who BRAVELY entered the Jessicurl contest and sent in photos of their “worst” hair.  🙂

Our runner up is Lou. She sent this adorkable photo and she will be receiving a Jessicurl Product Trial Pack. Yay Lou!

And the 1st place winner of the Thermal Turban Heat Wrap with a jar of Jessicurl Deep Conditioning Treatment and a Jessicurl Product Trial Pack is … drum roll please … Bárbe!

Bárbe describes her hair as “sheeps wool” … and if anyone deserves to have a Thermal Turban Heat Wrap with a jar of Jessicurl Deep Conditioning Treatment it’s Bárbe.  🙂

Hey Kids,
Due to scheduling conflict with a family funeral that I must attend on the 22nd – Karmavore has graciously rescheduled the date of the fundraiser to Sunday Jan 23rd (6-8pm).

I hope this doesn’t put too much of a kink in your plans and that you can still attend the fundraiser!! Don’t forget that we are raising $$ for Hearts on Noses Pig Rescue and The BC Poodle and Small Dog Rescue (they are the ones helping me re-home Dexter).  🙂

Tickets for the event are available HERE and I really hope to see you there on Sunday Jan 23rd for this event. If you have any questions about tickets or the event please contact Karmavore via their website.

THANKS!!
See you on the 23rd.  🙂

Was woken up by a bad dream around 6:30am today. It was a doozy…see if you can figure it out for me.

I was in my apartment and I couldn’t find Fergus. I asked Gerry where he was and he yelled from behind a closed door (maybe the bathroom?) that he didn’t know.

I opened the front door and saw that Fergus was by my neighbours apartment door at the end of the hall. The floor was littered with feathers, bones and poop. Once I got closer I realized that he had swallowed a bird and then pooped on the floor. The bird was stuck in his throat and just the wing was poking out of his mouth. Fergus was gagging but I knew he was ok because he was able to breathe so I scooped him up and brought him back into the house and put him down on the bed.

I yelled at Gerry “Get dressed. We have to go to the hospital!” and then I went back out into the hallway and started cleaning up the poop and bones. I noticed I was wearing blue nitrile gloves (like the ones we use at Tattoo Zoo) and I removed the gloves so I could vacuum the rug to pick up all the feathers.

I went back to the bedroom to check on Fergus and Gerry was holding him in his arms. He looked up at me and said “I guess the Robin is back.”
“What Robin?”
“The Mommy Robin who lives in the hallway. That must be her baby.”

I tried to force the bird out of Fergus’ mouth but then noticed that Fergus’ lips were really dry and I started to worry that he was dehydrated.  I woke up scared out of my wits and couldn’t fall back to sleep.

WHAT THE HECK?  Feel free to interpret that one …  🙂

There’s a new vintage store in town called Maven’s.

If you’re downtown you should head towards Herald Street and check it out.

Plus Joey is there waiting to lick you …. he’s so cute.  🙂

Fergus love Sophia, originally uploaded by Sarah Kramer Photography.com.

Day 157… Fergus love the new Sophia bag I’m carrying in the store. 🙂

Woot! I just got in the Ms.Betty handbag in purple!! I only have a few in stock … so hurry up and grab one. They are selling fast. 🙂

I also am carrying the studded Sophia bag in burgundy. It’s a sexy bold bag that is big enough to carry all your important items.  🙂

And as added intensive I will send you some Jessicurl Samples with purchase! So you can be frizz free and fabulous all at the same time!

Remember a few months ago when I told you about The Smiths Project?

Janice spent 2010 recording EVERY single Smiths song but everything you hear is made with only her voice. Each song contains anywhere between 30-50 layers of vocals and the result is otherworldly. I’m normally not a fan of covers … especially covers of songs from a band that I love but Janice has managed to re-imagine these beloved Smiths songs and has me hearing them in a whole new way. 🙂

Janice is going to release the songs in a 6-cd Box Set but in order for her to buy the rights to the song, make the discs, assemble jewel cases, etc … it takes $$. So she has set up a “Kickstarter” page to raise funds.

If you want to hear some of the songs check them out HERE. And if you’d like to donate to the project you can do so HERE.

I looked through my stash of photos last night trying to find more “ugly frizzy hair” pictures of myself to share for the Jessicurl Contest.

Then I remembered that in a fit of Emo rage when I was a teenager I burned a bunch of pictures because I thought I looked ugly in them. God I used to be soooo dramatic!  🙂

But I did find this gem.

The photo was taken in my parents kitchen and I think it was my brothers birthday? I wasn’t living at home so it was somewhere around ’87? (click on photo for larger version)

My bro worshiped Alex P Keaton (hence the shirt and tie). I think I had given my brother a magic trick and he was trying to figure it out. His childhood passion was prestidigitation. Look at my Dad! He is so adorable with that mustache.

Me? I am wearing this weird shirt I bought at Le Chateau that had cut outs in the shoulders. I still had my mohawk here but now I was crimping it into submission. I would spray sections of it with hairspray (sorry ozone) and then shake it out so it stood up everywhere.

Please ignore the package of Export A Green and the burning cigarette in the ashtray beside me. Smoking is bad for you kids. Don’t do it. No matter how cool you think it makes you look. It just makes you smell bad and takes away your youth.

All my friends who still smoke now look like a beat-up tether ball left outside for too long. Wrinkles, bad breath, yellow teeth and with the lung capacity of a mouse. Who wants to look like that?

You still have time to enter the Jessicurl contest. More info HERE.

When I was looking for a vintage photo of my hair for the blog I came across this photo of my Zeyda and I (circa 1987).

Please note the hand-painted Sid Vicious T-shirt and the exquisite cholo eyebrows.  🙂

Do you think this is awkward enough for Awkward Family Photos?
