Yoko Tanji's revamped gallery is up! Lots of new stuff. She is definitely one of my top favorites.
Brandi Milne Sensual lines, stylized women, positively dripping with Art Nouveau dahlinkkk. I'm loving the hips! Like graceful melted candles they are.

bit o' Filipino fashion pride
2 min read
As you all know, --what? You don't? Well, fine. As you all don't know -_- I like deconstructed/reconstructed clothes. And stuff related to clothes. Yes, clothes with no relations. err... Anyway, it's Filipino, not Philippino, take it from a native. (I once had an online foreigner argue with me about this kanubilivit)
Stephanie Syjuco/Anti Factory creates one of a kind pieces of, yes, clothing! Reconstructed from sweaters of yon.
I fell in love with her earlier works, the sweater-y tops (I'd look in her "sold" section). The latest collection is fulla boleros that look Victorian. Hang on, I might have the era wrong, but anyhoo, they have the charming vintage air pattern thingie. Ehrm. Very well made too.
Huh? No I haven't bought any. Me? Buy online? The horror! It's all a conspiracy!!! (etc. etc. insert more lunatic exclamations here the better to distract from admission of not having bought anything off the site) But seriously I've yet to buy anything online.
Ms. Syjuco's work has strong principles about production behind it. (Hence the name of her site) Added attraction.
And Rafe's bags. Stars in my eyes. Fashionne! (prolly spelt that wrong but that's how I want you to hear it in your heads)
Ok ok the gremlin is pushing me off the chair. Tsk. We should get another one of these computer thingies.

Francis Escudero - Can you imagine what it would be like if people can speak the language as well as he does? Matatas!

delayed thanks, links + a lengthy joke
7 min read
Gratitude, that is. For all the people who acknowledgd me in some form or way (a bit of gratuitous spit spray, perhaps?) during my uh, online creative death (?) THANK YOU.
I haven't been around a lot, yes? errr...
Great love to everyone who took time to type nice stuff on my recent very shy and slightly skittish submissions.
Even if I've stopped showering comments and visiting your galleries and doing anything at all except twirl my hair and sing tunes off-key.
I appreciate it. More than brownies.
--------
I'm Smitten -- My kinda anthro. Check out her notecards. LOVE.
ADOOOORable teeny sculptures of liddle animals The cats! Oooh and the mice!! Ooooh and the everything!
Brendan Monroe I took a particularly long time gaping at the sculptures.
Catia Chien I find it delicately delicious. Ok I don't really know how to define her work but I DO find it delicately delicious and I love it. Them. uh..
Something I saw in Momomoogie's livejournal (momoogie's work is worth a look or three!):
Audrey Kawasaki There is a ... wet quality to her paintings. No, I'm not being soft-porn -__- but! Her pre-pubescent-faced (sometimes more-than-pubescent-bodied) asian girls tend to be overtly sexual. Or is "sensual" a more appropriate term? You decide. Gorgeous work.

How have you all been?
Alright already, here's the lengthy joke, keep yer pants on.

Buffer seats, sisters and beer -- secrets of the Guy Code revealed
BY BRYCE DONOVAN
Of The Post and Courier Staff
The most meaningful thing a guy can do for another guy is nothing. So says rule No. 1 in The Guy Code -- the unspoken, inherently understood code of conduct that us guys employ on a nearly daily basis.
More specifically, rule No. 1 reads:
"If a lifelong friend has been bitten by, say, a black mamba and there isn't a hospital around for 250 miles and the only way to save his life is by sucking out the venom, then you are obligated as a guy to tell him, 'It was a good run, man.'"
SARAH BATES/STAFF
Rule No. 2 in The Guy Code states: "Two guys + one umbrella = somebody getting wet."
For as long as there have been hot girls with ugly friends, the Guy Code has existed. Whether out at a bar or simply watching football at home, groups of guys quite often do strange things that separate them from women or, say -- and this is a much more realistic comparison -- other crustaceans.
The following is just a small sampling of what I have learned from the code during my years as a guy:
1. THE BUFFER SEAT.
Guys refuse to ever sit right next to one another. For instance, if two guys are at a movie (NOTE: guys will go see anything with the words "lethal" or "death" in the title, followed by a double-digit number, indicating there were several previous successful installments in this lethal, deadly series) they'll leave an open seat in between them. This is known as the "buffer seat."
According to the Center for Overt Male Homophobia, the origins of the buffer seat date back to prehistoric times when cavemen would take the extra week to find another rock to move between the rock they were sitting on and the rock their buddy was sitting on while watching "Lethal Death 13."
FACT: The only time the buffer seat cannot be employed is when riding in a Mazda Miata.
FUN TIP FOR FREAKING OUT YOUR FRIENDS:
Let's say you and three other guys are eating dinner. Ask for a booth. The first chance you get, make a plan with the guy you're sitting next to for going to the bathroom at the same time. When you both get up to leave, your two friends will be left sitting side-by-side,
alone in the booth.
BONUS TIP: Have a bottle of wine sent to the table.
2. TWO GUYS, ONE UMBRELLA.
Picture this: Two guys leave an office building
at the same time.
Man No. 1, who we'll refer to as Chet for the purposes of this not-the-least-bit-exaggerated-real-life-example, has an umbrella the size of Madagascar.
Man No. 2, who we'll call Ian, doesn't.
Chet and Ian are best
friends. For the past 20 years they have gone to Red Sox games, played golf on the weekends and taken summer road trips together. Ian was Chet's best man at his wedding.
As they are leaving work one day they notice that it's raining so hard it's actually stripping the paint off of the street lights.
Here's what will happen:
CHET: "Hey Ian, good job on the Smith case."
IAN: "Thanks. Well, it was good knowing you, Chet."
CHET: "Yep. Tough break, Ian."
Then Ian walks out into the flesh-stripping rain and dies. Chet sheds a tear as he notices that he tracked mud into his new Chevy pickup.
3. SISTERS.
They are off limits. This one's pretty much non-negotiable. You cannot date the sister of a close friend, college buddy, next door neighbor, coworker, mailman, Wendy's drive thru operator -- nobody you know. In fact,
even if you just saw a guy once in an elevator six years ago in Yuma, Ariz., his
sister is off the market for you.
EXCEPTION: If she's really, really, really, really, really, REALLY hot.
4. JAIL.
When -- and trust me, it's always "when" with guys, not "if" -- a good friend ends up in jail after relieving himself on the hood of a police car
(with cops in it; while it's still moving) you, as a guy are required to bail that friend out of jail. (Unless, of course, you are with another friend and it's raining outside and you only have one umbrella.)
5. BIRTHDAY PRESENTS.
Again, this one's pretty simple. Guys don't get these for each other. Can you imagine the following scenario?:
STEVE: "Now wait a second, here. You're telling me you got BOTH these decorative candles for $4.99?"
CHIP: "Yes."
STEVE: "That's amazing!"
CHIP: "I KNOW!"
6. ZIPPER ETIQUETTE.
As guys, we are culturally obligated to point out all the flaws in our friends. For example: a zit on the chin, a bat in the cave (also known as a cliffhanger), a squirrel in the beard, etc. But if a friend has his zipper down, a guy would rather pick out floral patterns for a new love seat than point out to his friend, who he's known for 23 years, that his barn door is open. Sure it might save his friend lots of potential embarrassment, but what if he thought: "Why was he was looking at my crotch?"
7. BEER = PAYMENT.
This is one of the most important rules in the Guy Code.
No matter what services are provided -- moving furniture, keeping his dog while he's on vacation or saving his life after being trapped underneath a burning gas truck -- beer is the appropriate method of payment.
Nothing says, "Thanks for not sitting next to me at the movies," like a case of Budweiser.
OK, I'm going to have to wrap this up because I'm being told I'm revealing too much. So I guess that's all for now, but join us next week when we address the dark secrets contained within women's purses.
Until then, see you in jail. And don't forget to bring the beer.
I haven't been around a lot, yes? errr...

Proud, I am! (2nd) They had SNAPPY movements. And I could almost hear them screaming:
"Fear our huge white grannie undies!!"
*shaggles pompoms*
Offending er Defending champions took home first place again. They did that fantastic triangular flip-a-ma-thing.
F.E.U. (3d) had those fabulous crawling floor movements.
XD

My cats look like super models and they poop dots.
