plastic fantastic
Some fun things:
--jelly shoes (red pair from Urban Outfitters for $16--i know, i know, i've ranted about the UO evil empire. and they're still evil. but by gum, they have cute shoes, don't they?). I looooove my red jellies. I had a pair over ten years ago and now they've come back all over again! I wore these last night out to a bar and felt so happy. Oh, the simple pleasures in life!
Snapcrafty has super cute necklaces...yum! i don't have one, but i may just have to score me one soon. Plastic fantastic!
Moss on Etsy. A seller who makes great things! I bought one of her crocheted black cat dolls and it's sleeps snuggly on my bookshelf. This one here is a "siamese twin" cat doll. Cute and just a tad strange!
Battlestar Galactica on SciFi channel. Yep, it's official, Kurt and I are addicted to this show. And since we just started watching it despite it being in the second season, we have had to rent on Netflix all the prior ones to finally catch up (which we aren't yet). So far, it's been one DVD after another and given that there are four episodes per disk, it's turned into marathon nights. As a sci-fi fan, I have to say that the miniseries premier was AMAZING considering it was made for TV. And the weird religious cylon angle is particularly interesting--androids that want to mate with humans, are heavily religious, and fall in love. I know there's a hint of Bladerunneresque plot here, but overall it sure beats most TV watching these days. Not to mention the "terrorist" sideplots and allusions to wartime governmental moral quandaries. Smart smart smart.
Questionable thing: "frocks". Urban Outfitters is pushing these hard now. Frocks. The kind that billow out starting *above* your breast and then sort of draping strangely down. Maybe I'm just not "with it" anymore, but I'm not sure if this one can be pulled off by many. I like me a little cinching somewhere, or shaping. I say this now, but may wind up eating my words later as I did with the clog fad way back when.
Below is said frock:
Looks like a good maternity top. But we're not pregnant, are we?

enjoy your downward spiral into BSG land. Clifton and I watched the mini-series over christmas because we had nothing to do and BAM! addicted. Is is GOOOOOOD.
and yes, I am not down with the UO "frocks" either. CINCH IT!
stephanie... i wish i was there to slap your wrist. "no more UO!".
but then you'd have to slap my wrist for buying stuff at old navy.
oh crud:)
Dude jelly shoes are totally all the rage here in Japan too. Could get you a used pair here in Tokyo for way less than $16!
Hey Kate, yes, the downward spiral is fully in effect and we are giving ourselves the BSG fix as often as possible. But we're avoiding actually watching the current episodes on TV since we have to catch up with the previous ones--we may always be slightly behind, how funny!
melissa, give me a good hard virtual slap. we must all act as each other's consciences, eh?
kat, Tokes is always way ahead! damn! and yeah, paying $16 for cheapo jelly shoes mass-produced in China is still providing for probably a 500% markup for UO...argh! You know, Tokes wasn't nearly as fabulous looking fashion-wise when I was living there in 1986. You are truly lucky to always have so much eyecandy out there ;)
$16 for jelly shoes?! dang! i remember when they were like $3 at kmart back in 1986 and i had every color in them. gotta love the 80s. and going to kmart to get slushees and jelly shoes and fourescent mesh shirts and zoo crew shirts. dang!
oh, and those maternity shirts, i mean fashionable frocks, are terrible!
