Telephone

So I got another book in the mail. This time it happens to be 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls' and the cover art is so beautiful that I was inspired to create an outfit right away! The zombie girl on the cover is super creepy and wearing a white lace dress, so I decided to go with a granny dress and slip. Usually this outfit would be considered pretty and romantic, but today I was going for the 'demented anti-goth' look, if y'know what I mean?

I predict this will be an exceedingly entertaining read. Click here if you want to win the book!

The Real Poop-Drama's Thursday Confessional

The confessional is now open. Take a number and wait to be called. You don't have to wait. You could bump yourself to the front of the line and then confess about it later. You have to wait behind me though. I go first...

Confessions of The Drama Mama:
#1. I did not crave chocolate and Golden Double Stuf'd Oreos until my doctor said I was diabetic. Now, I can't get enough of them.
#2. The pantry goods are still sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor waiting for me to put them away. As if I don't have enough to do, they can't put themselves away?
#3. Sometimes I don't know if I would know what to do if there wasn't some kind of poop going on. The smell of the roses would actually surprise me.
#4. There are certain things in our marriage that George Clooney and I fight about. These are petty things that we shouldn't but yet, even though I knew they were there when I married him, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with now. So, we fight. Then, we make up. I have the battle scars to prove it. Their names are Scooby Doo and Jellybean.
#5. I am easily addicted. I am loving this blogging thing. It's like a whole new world has opened up to me. It's the best free entertainment. EVER.

Now that I have confessed my sins for the week, I am punished with 2 chocolates and a Golden Oreo. Who's next to confess?

Wordless Wednesday-Jellybean

Jellybean gets really serious when she is playing her Nintendo DS. So serious, that trying to get her to talk is like pulling teeth. What do you think she thinks of my attempts to interrupt her game?

You're Standing on My Neck

Yet another bizarre sweater has entered the realm of my charmed closet! It happens to be a massive tiger sweatshirt and it is going to do battle with the Phoenix in order to prove itself worthy. Unfortunately, I am only borrowing it from my favourite d00d and I will have to give it back eventually but until then I am basking in its warm, comfortable glory.

My choice of footwear was definitely influenced by watching old episodes of Daria.

Stare into the hand-painted eyes of doom.

The man, the sweater.

GO TEAM CANADA FTW!!!

VANCOUVER 2010, FUNK YEAH! SO PROUD OF OUR MEN AND WOMEN FOR BRINGING HOME THE GOLD! TEAM CANADA YEAHHHHH! Ok, just had to get that out of my system. Anyways, so I guess F/W 2010 was all about being nice and pretty and romantic and ladylike? None of those traits have ever been my forte, but I did manage to find quite a few looks I liked from my favourite designers.

Vivienne Westwood is my number one. Always has been (since I was fourteen and liked the Sex Pistols) and always will be. Nice to see that Dame Viv shares my adoration for freaky-ass legwear. Creamy beige, highlighter yellow and environmental justice seem like a bizarre mix, but I really really like it.

Proenza Schouler was absolutely wicked! Screw the babydoll dresses, I need this entire outfit.

Marc Jacobs was pretty school. I guess longer skirts are like THE thing right now? That sucks for stumpy people (like me) but I like the fair isle sweater quite a bit.

Jeremy Scott is always a good time, guaranteed. That reminds me of a scribbling I saw in a public washroom the other day that said "For a good time... READ A BOOK."

Christopher Kane was all about the bad-ass granny this season, a.k.a so far up my alley I can feel it coming from the other side.

Of course, I had to save the best for last. Charles Anastase really took me by surprise! I had him pegged as someone who designs for the 'soft, pretty ingenue' type but this collection was just wild! The unexpected colours and ruffles are the totally the best part.

Shoot the Poop Monday

Some of the moms on a message board I frequent got all in a tizzy because there's "POOP" in my title. This led to me thinking of different titles to change my blog name to, which led to thinking up nifty slogans, and well...you'll see...

The Poop Files~A mom's how-to guide for staying squeaky clean while wading waist deep through poop.

The Poop Diaries~ a place to record the daily poop.

Whole Lot of Poopsie Going on.

A Poop of a Different Color~just because it smells the same, doesn't mean it is the same.

The Big Le'Poop

Adventures in Poopland ...

Clearly, I am still in middle school because using the word "poop" so many times in one post has me giggling like a school girl whispering to her friends about the hot new boy in school.

Ok, my friends and readers, let's hear it. Shoot the poop right here, today. Whatever you want to say, let it out. We can officially christen this "Shoot the Poop Monday." Buttons and blinkies soon to come.

Under Construction....

Please bare with me as I am restructuring my blog and making it all pretty. I will be back with my normal posting later today. Thanks!
