this is when you know you're poor:

I tried to convince my brother to join me since he lives in Philly, as well. But funny thing is, he was more deterred by the 6 a.m.-on-a-Sunday starting time than the mild, unpleasant electrical shocks to the top of the hand.

On that note, I'm selling (yet) another dress on LoGE, this time a Wren dress I literally just got in the mail today (fucking Swirl only does store credit for returns...bullshit). I forgot the sizing for the line is small, and thus my boobs are too big (for it). Never thought I'd say that.

My, it has been awhile, Internet! After loading pictures from my camera onto my computer today I realized I hadn't taken any of my signature craptastic photos in over a month, further reinforcing how quickly this past month has flown by, and also how long it has been since I've actually updated this blog. Whatever. One of the main reasons I wanted to post was because of the afore-featured portrait I "commissioned" (sounds so fancy) from greasychickenface on Etsy. No lie, I paid a total of $30 for this here portrait of Lola (and that's including shipping...from Canada), which is probably the coolest pet portrait I have ever beheld. I mean, for acrylic on wood? Whaaaaat? Total deal. You can see a better close-up of greasy's work on the original listing, just in case you're interested in a little commission of your own.

It should also be noted that the wall-in-progress features one of Becca's paintings (I was so excited when she listed this!), and also a drawing by Chau that I have been utterly in love with since I received it from her last year in the mail. The wall is looking good, and I have no one but you ladies to thank : )
