If I could choose any actor that reminds me of my Dad the most, it would definitely be Andy Griffith. Growing up, I remember hearing my Dad whistle (what felt like a daily basis) the theme song from The Andy Griffith Show. Thanks to him, I also whistle constantly at home, and it drives Tim crazy.
R.I.P. Andy Griffith

My new project, Bird and Feather, will have its public debut at the Unique LA’s Spring Show on May 12 & 13. Sean and I are crazy busy preparing for our booth, which we are sharing with our friend Annie of Sun and Glory. You should check out her blog and etsy shop. She is talented in so many ways; I’m so glad we are teaming up. Luckily, we have a shared aesthetic and high standards, so we are taking our booth set up very seriously…even though we are on a budget of nothing. It’s all very exciting and nerve wracking all at once.
All of this excitement and preparation means that I won’t have much time to post here over the next couple of weeks. I am already feeling lost because I’m not keeping up with my favorite blogs, and there is a part of me that feels incomplete when I’m not writing something, not matter how tiny or silly. But rest assured, I will be back writing tiny and silly things as soon as possible. And, if things go well enough for us, we will be investing in a digital SLR camera, which I will put to good blogging use here.
Please wish us luck! I really need that camera.

I spent the afternoon at the vet because my cat Spagett hasn’t been feeling well. Turns out he has a fever, and they’re not sure what’s wrong. Please keep my lil cartoon kitty in your thoughts, as he is staying overnight at the vet. Sorry for no post today.

Real talk, I have probably had every hair color known to man. I have been blonde, blue, red, black, you name it. I used to have no problem dyeing my hair a completely different color or just chopping it off when I was bored (or heartbroken, angst-ridden, what have you). Now that I’ve gotten older, perhaps I’ve gotten less adventurous. I prefer to think that I’ve grown into myself and have found my own style. Recently though, I’ve had this itch… in all of my favorite blogs, magazines, runway shows, everyone has bright or pastel colored hair and I. WANT. IN. Problem : my headshots are blonde, blonde, blonde–and so blonde I must remain.
I recently found a few temporary hair tricks for the 9-to-5′ers, commitment-phobes, and other fashion timid folk. (Myself included).
The most commonly proposed solution is to take a hair piece, bleach the bottom, dye the tips, and clip or sew it in. I thought this was friggin awesome until I went to buy a weave (a crappy one at that) and it was like $120. Sorry, can’t justify that. That’s a month of groceries for me. I didn’t know that Sally’s sold anything over $30. Wrong-o. BUT, if you do have the financial leg-room (I don’t) and you are a capable hair dye-er (I am), its kinda perfect.
Et voilà.

And then, the other day, Marianne introduces me to this beauty blog called The Beauty Department and, lo and behold, I found the solution I’ve been waiting for! Temporary, easy, and noncommittal, here are instructions on how to “chalk” your hair. It’s cheap, easy, and washes out. No weaving or dying necessary.
You can find the very thorough instructions here.
Who wants to come over and have an eighth grade sleepover and chalk their hair with me!? I’ll bring the chalk and you bring the peach schnapps from your parents’ liquor cabinet.

While my buddies Marianne & Kella are living it up in the California sunshine, I am actually enjoying the winter wonderland (FINALLY) that is Michigan. Normally, I would be sick of the snow by now (after all, Blue Monday is coming up! Yippee!), but we’ve had so little snow that I still LOVE it! I don’t mind…nope, not one bit. So, these photos are dedicated to Marianne. I’ll be thinking of you, as I scrap the ice and snow off of my car before work today <3
