September 2009

Dp and I went to the Red Bull Soap Box Derby over at Piedmont Park Aug. 29 for the races, laughs, and then for lunch///

the heat this particular day was so excruciating we stayed at the races for only a bit before hitting up a little mexican joint down the street.  cold beer. m.m.m

the lava bowl was filled with chicken, cactus and a sweet sauce-you mixed all ingredients in a tortilla shell and enjoyed profusely.

never mentioned the fact that one day after work, drove up to Buckhead for a Dolce & Gabbana sample sale//&& like a fool I forgot my camera but snapped this one with my phone cam///everything was 70% off but that didn’t mean affordable, for example, the above photo. . which are retailed at 10,000 + some change. it was fun just trying on a couple things and looking at all the shoes that have walked the runways. none of which I could fit and/or walk in. . .the man running the show thought I would just looove these bejeweled slacks, he was right, they rule! as well as the paisley velvet number to the right-which were priced about the same. ouch.

**snap snap**

found the motherload of my old bows and immediately started playing dress-up. 

apparently Wednesday nights over at MJQ are off the wall crazy so Ashliegh and I headed there a couple weeks ago to see if it was all true////and YeS it is! the djs played every song that I would ever care to hear, break dancers busted their moves, and the crowd-Ashleigh & I in particular-threw down till they kicked us out when the place was closed!

in motion 

the fun doesn’t start here either, this weekend was great! had a little mini vacation on Friday, after getting 1/2 the day off and heading to the Blue Ridge mtns. and yesterday did a little shopping at DSW and H&M, then headed down the street for a Luau for Wasabi’s 3yr anniversary with free food & Sapporo. good times.

spotted some of my buds taggage-nope!

haha…

 after visiting my parental’s house I found these ridiculous glasses from a ‘hippie monkey’ stuffed animal my bff in highschool had. little cracked and crookedm, still fun to play dress up with-which was their purpose years ago…

while traveling from NH, Kjo stopped by to have a looksie around the new place, eat a little grub, along with a side of vintage shopping. I had to take her into Little Five after learning she had never been and we immediately hit up Rag-O-Rama. We both left with treasures, my favorite was a floral dress I later took 4-5 inches off the bottom with a quick stitch. 

classic.

well hello there friends, sorry for the hiatus. after much battling I think I’m officially s.i.c.k. since I have been sitting around for 2 solid days, figured I’d share from the collection taken on Aug. 25th for the Atlanta Photographers Guild. That particular night was the “black tape challenge” which meant the photographers put a thick piece of black tape over their viewers, if using digital, and would not look at their photos until after the night was over. It was quite funny to watch from my end, after each photo they would want to look down and check it out, only to forget it was covered.  ok well, here are some of my favs with the photographers Flickr photostream linked below.

well, what do you think? despite being timid about the 50+photographers expected to show, I had such a good time at the shoot! ! ! 

hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day, for I have been a lousy piece of lazy today but will need it come tomorrow at 7:00 am.

cheers.
