Cutting Birthday Cake with Chainsaws


Well, today’s officially my birthday, and even though we’ve been impulsively celebrating for the last three days… we had an unbelievable time entertaining the idea of these ridiculously fun pictures.
I admit, there were a few larger than life bubblegum mishaps that probably should’ve come with a public warning, a lot of crazy fits of laughter, four Chihuahuas scheming to pilfer the giant lollipop, a couple of indiscriminately tongue-n-cheek choice phrases, spilled Heineken, torn fishnets, and several let’s pause because my ribs hurt moments. But at the end of all these wicked shenanigans (and the hilarious fact that Ben rocked the masquerading drunk look perfectly), I realize we have no immunity whatsoever when it comes down to flexing the happy muscle.

And if you haven’t already entered the Vintage Lollipops and chickdowntown.com CURRENT/ELLIOTT Jeans Giveaway, don’t forget the deadline is May 31st at midnight!

@ Mark,

To answer your question, the camera currently has two modes:

10 second timer

or

3rd person

I am considering getting her an upgrade soon however... one with a remote switch. Keep your eyes peeled for 12+ MP pics in the near future.

And thank you for recognizing her considerable writing talent... she is a fantastic writer, so if you know any publishers... send them her way please :)

The Carousel Ride

A little storytelling... A modicum of silence swallowed the room as dusty shards of sunlight patterned the multicolored carpet. Decorated with an army of garish jewelry, everything jingles, almost intentionally, as the woman perched behind the large candy counter brushes invisible lint from her blouse. Her silvery hair is the color of cotton candy. She offers a genuine smile before shifting her gaze downcast towards her slender hands. Briefly, she examines their delicate surface that is creviced by time and wiser than yesterday. At four quarters per ride, it was a small price for six minutes of uncontaminated childhood reminiscence to sweep the memory warehouse. And while we kept the company of an epoch 1920’s carousel, 60 handcrafted horses, and funky reindeer, we went round and round, faster and faster… letting it take us to those secret places we almost forgot existed. --Bella H. p.s. In lieu of those who have so thoughtfully given me awards and spotlight features... YOU'RE AM

Gunmetal Laces

The hillside was far more treacherous than it actually appeared, and even though I didn’t foresee clambering up and down the jagged terrain… my 8-year-old nephew (among others in our brood) got a real kick out of thinking I was some sort of neophyte Pink Power Ranger. Pity I left my blade blaster, metallic armor, and spandex suit at home. Not sure about spandex, but if you and all your friends want to start your own gang of crime fighting superheros, you'll need some matching outfits... something stylish of course.  (RTBU sweater, Topshop skirt and Emma Cook boots)

The Writing Wall

 Affronted by a (practically) nonexistent warning sign, the weather-beaten plastic dangling idly from a nearby telephone pole, clearly stated, Private Property . Even though our previous attempt at this location resulted in a prying patrol car… the graffiti mural, a derelict carcass of a once prominent amusement park, was obviously too wicked to pass blindly. Sprinting around with certain schoolgirl giddiness, the ridiculous amount of camerawhoring was starting to feel like some new Olympic sport. But before finally fleeing the scene, we noticed the black and red letters smeared across the far right side of the building that perhaps claimed an excuse to previous visitors. ' The Devil Made Me Do It' . Disturbing to small degrees, it did seem outwardly apropos to our deviant trespassing acquisition… our forbidden spray paint entertainment. (Vintage sequin butterfly shirt, Betsey Johnson tights, F21 skirt & jacket, Bakers fringe boots)
