All 33 of my freshly-framed artworks are packed up and ready to be dropped off tomorrow at City Hall for a show that will run from August 6th - October 18th. All the details are here, on the City of Orlando web site. Unfortunately there isn't an opening due to security at City Hall, but that's OK because then I don't have to stand there while people look at my work. It makes me so uncomfortable be there while people look at my art. I much prefer people seeing it on the internet where I can't see their reaction to it!
I never really thought about the great difference in the cultural divide between the democratic West and the religion-centric world of the East until now. Perhaps we should feel privileged to be allowed to "dress like models", when Iran are now cracking down on "those who have Western-style haircuts and clothing" as the government/police "are going to act against clothes shops and hairdressers", according to an SMH article. How ironic when Iranian women are considered to be pushing boundaries by showing ankles and fashionable hairstyles under scarves when we go about in short shorts (or, in Sienna Miller's case, a black one piece swim wear) in Summer! And my God, how lucky we are!

I am sad the series is over but I think JK Rowling did a good job of wrapping it up. A bit schmaltzy at the end but I lapped it up. I didn't mind a little schmaltz, these books are pure entertainment! Now it's over I feel listless.

Borders has finally arrived at the shopping center that I practically live next to, and while some of you might find this strange, I am SO HAPPY! I love the huge collection of books available there, and of course- the excellent magazines: all those foreign titles!! It's very convenient for me, even though Borders could never replace Kinokuniya. That is a real true bookstore with this great up-to-date section filled with art and design books (may I say it's one of the best things to happen to Sydney retail in a long time?), a nice manga collection and lots of beautiful magazine racks!
Stan found my ribbon tub without the lid on. Busted!
A super duper package came from Scrap in Style TV. It's their August kit and it's so yummy. Lime green and red with polka dots!! I can hardly contain myself.
Here's a screen shot above, and click here to see the real thing. Keep in mind this is still a work in progress, but it's 2am and time for me to go to bed! Paul gets up to go to work in 2 hours! LOL!

I stayed up too late messing with web site stuff. No time for a good post, see you tomorrow!
Our NetFlix queue is getting low. It takes so much time researching new movies to add.
I have to say it's by far my favorite out of all the Couture!! A flowing slim silhouette, the lacy sheer soft delicate fabrics, the elegant embroidery and those fine dresses!! Some of them slightly grecian. Every one of them red carpet worthy! Elie Saab made the most exquisite wedding gown out of all the AW07 offerings- will you just look at that!! Also, is anyone noticing that little white/ silver color trend coming through?

"Do you have plans for us, Filipino bloggers, specially those who want to make money online, to convince our local business firms to advertise or put their ads in our respective blogs? Just like you got here in your blog where you post local ads as your sponsor?"When I asked this I been apologetic because I was thinking that it was a silly question. However, Mam Janette did not take it that way. She even posted her answer to her Blog. She entitled it as "Make Money Online Through Blog Advertising" On this post she informed us that she is now doing an experimental regarding Local Companies Tapping Blogs for Advertising.
When Nuffnang was conceived, our inspiration and ultimate goal was to give power to the blogosphere and go where one blogger will never be able to go alone.
That’s why we built a system that works not just to include the more prominent bloggers of the blogging scene, but also bloggers with a more modest but significant readership: those as low as 20 unique visits a day. -Timothy Tiah of Nuffnang
I posted a few weeks ago about my partnership with Anna Bella Stationery to create custom note cards from my commissioned artworks.
You can also enter in your pet photos too because a new contest takes place every week!
Don't those leggings only come in a size negative 1/0/2? I really can't imagine Nicolas Ghesquière customizing a pair just for this booty humpin' performance.Come to think of it, neither can I. Weren't those leggings made for pin-thin model-long legs (as opposed to Beyoncé's bootylicious body)? Quite frankly, I feel she makes this $100K fantasy look more like a dime store reality than anything else. Let's do a little comparison, why don't we?
At the end of last week I got test results from Toby's urinalysis and to my dismay we discovered he has oxalate crystals forming. This is not a good thing and if left unchecked can turn into a dangerous situation where bladder stones are formed.
I created this image for IF a year ago for the theme of dance, but this guy is so nerdy and geeky that I have to use it again. Love him rockin' out in his bedroom ah la Napoleon Dynamite.
If you're near Atlanta or going to the Atlanta Gift Show (July 13-17th) stop by The Greeting Place Booth to check out my new line of 26 greeting cards titled "Go Girl Sweet & Sassy"!
I love looking at backstage images because it depicts the madness and frenzy that is compulsory in preparing for any fashion show. That and the excessive amounts of fun the models appear to have (as well a glimpse into chic model style)! Currently, I've got a model crush on Belarusian Tanya Dyagileva because 1. She is a stunner and looks oh so ethereal! And 2. She delivers the ultimate poses backstage (hence, the photographers love her-)! Tanya scores bonus points because she's got a TFS account and is an absolute darling on there!
Photo cred: TFS (of course!)
