Eye Candy!
Author: Tbyrd | 8:00 AM | No Comments |
I've found yet another website to keep me online at ungodly hours - we heart it - an online visual bookmarking tool.
I. am. so. hooked.
I. am. so. hooked.
Check it out...with caution. Some of the images on the randomized "hearted by everyone" page are NSFW until you get an account (it's free) and set up safe viewing. You can imagine what some folks find on the web to "heart". :o)
Recently hearted by me:
Here are a couple of songs for the weekend. (FYI, I try to download "clean" versions of songs whenever I can, but it's difficult finding them online, so there is some parental advisory language.)
Have a Happy Halloween and a safe weekend!

Henna Party!
Author: Tbyrd | 3:34 PM | 2 Comments |
In preparation for my friend Lez's gorgeous wedding last weekend, her über creative bridesmaid friend, Katy, threw a henna bachelorette party. I've been dying to try Mehndi for some time now so I couldn't wait! It was fun catching up and munching on homemade samosas (and other assorted treats) while we waited for the paste to dry. The lovely ladies of Shenna Body Art hooked us up pretty nicely don't you think?

Korto Rocks! (warning: Project Runway spoiler follows)
Author: Tbyrd | 11:23 PM | 2 Comments |
I just watched the final episode of Project Runway, Season 5 and I. Am. LIVID. Korto was robbed! Her collection rocked. Korto, you're the winner in my eyes! This is the best vid I can find right now of her final collection. I loved the clothes and the whole production (I wish I knew where to find the catwalk song). Check it:

Quote of the Day
Author: Tbyrd | 11:40 AM | No Comments |
I'm loving this quote I saw on a bumper sticker the other day. I have always had a tendency to be a bit free with my opinion on things. A lot of people hate that. I stopped for a while in an effort to avoid conflict but keeping my mouth shut proved more painful than a little confrontation. Silence is so not worth the stress sometimes. Besides, confrontation doesn't scare me and people can tell what I'm thinking by the expression on my face; so why fake the funk? I still choose my battles, but I'm back to giving it straight, no matter what. Anyway, I have this video on repeat today: kanye west and daft punk live. ha. enjoy...
