We Interrupt Etsy Thursdays For...

Chuck Norris!



Since it was his 70th birthday yesterday, and he does not care much for Etsy, I decided it would be safer to move "Etsy Thursdays" to a Friday once rather than risk a roundhouse kick. So yea, Chuck Norris, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I realize that some of you may not know who Chuck is, so here are some common known facts about the man =)


Leading hand sanitizers claim they can kill 99.9 percent of germs. Chuck Norris can kill 100 percent of whatever the **** he wants.

On a high school math test, Chuck Norris put down "Violence" as every one of the answers. He got an A+ on the test because Chuck Norris solves all his problems with Violence.

Chuck Norris died ten years ago, but the Grim Reaper can't get up the courage to tell him.

Chuck Norris can strangle you with a cordless phone.

If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.

Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris...

On the set of Walker Texas Ranger Chuck Norris brought a dying lamb back to life by nuzzling it with his beard. As the onlookers gathered, the lamb sprang to life. Chuck Norris then roundhouse kicked it, killing it instantly. This was just to prove that the good Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because Chuck Norris only recognizes the element of surprise.

Before each filming of Walker: Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris is injected with fourteen times the lethal dose of elephant tranquilzer. This is, of course, to limit his strength and mobility, in an attempt to lower the fatality rate of the actors he fights.

Human cloning is outlawed because if Chuck Norris were cloned, then it would be possible for a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to meet another chuck Norris roundhouse kick. Physicists theorize that this contact would end the universe.


When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn?t lifting himself up, he?s pushing the Earth down...

Chuck Norris is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head...

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month...

Chuck Norris can lead a horse to water AND make it drink...

Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch, HE decides what time it is...

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.



I love Chuck! Not as much as my Dad does though. =)

Dare to Wear

Fashion is not for the timid...Fashion breaks the rules...Fashion is innovative, Fashion is art...but sometimes it is just UGLY!

You're a real woman, but in case anyone is not convinced, you have a dress that proves it!


Because having mesh pockets would just be too tacky


For the stripper who who wants to stand out, but can't completely get rid of her lucite uniform


For the one who spent all her money on sneakers so she can't afford an IPod, or just prefers CD's

Wedged In

Today we were having really nice weather. Sun was shining, birds were singing, sky was blue. So naturally my mind drifted over to the summer, and all the nice clothes I get to wear. My favorite shoes for summer weather are wedges. They are comfy, bright, and show off my pedi, all while giving me the much needed height boost. Here are some styles I am craving right now:

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS!!

I was originally planning to do an Oscar fashion post, but this year the fashion was horrible. A sea of beiges, reds, blues, and weird taffeta. But here are a couple I actually liked:

Anna Kendrick, so feminine and floaty. I love!


Demi Moore, admittedly it has a tango-ish feel, but I just love ruffles.

both images from JustJared.com I don't know why my layout cut off the watermark.

Double It Up

So I took a break last night from blogging. Why? I was exhausted! Why? Because people suck. Thursday nights I do this volunteer legal thing where we help people being sued by credit card companies and collectors. We get a lot of visitors and our degree of service is VERY particular. Yet every week there a conversation like this:

Drunk guy who reeks of cigarettes: Yo can you help me?

Me: What is the problem?

Drunk: I am being sued by this schmuck for medical bills for when I punched him in the face at the bar

Me: I am very sorry but we can't help you. We only help with credit card debt.

Drunk: But you're an attorney! And I need a f----ng attorney!

Me: *sigh* [begins spiel] Attorneys are like doctors, we all have our own specialties. Some do criminal law, others do corporate, we do CREDIT CARD DEBT!

Drunk guy opens his mouth to say something rude, and at this point our 6 foot 4 volunteer comes over and asks if there is a problem. Drunk guy spits on the floor and leaves. And this happens EVERY SINGLE WEEK. And people get mad when they don't get seen even though we are volunteers, and we want to help, but can't. So yea, I was tired. So here is a Saturday post for you.

Lately I have been wearing 2 rings on one hand, on my pointer and middle fingers. Why? Because I like it =) I have been wanting a double-ring since I was like 16. Yes, waaaaay before Lauren Conrad made them popular. So I decided to see and here are some picks that caught my eye for one reason or another.

So badass!

Classic shape. I'm sure you can get it engraved or something.

buy here

My favorite! It is so dainty, and yet special somehow...LOVE

buy here

A little weird, but this style would not impede your typing.

buy here or if you want something A LOT cheaper then buy HERE

The Olsens can do no wrong as far as I am concerned! I just wish their stuff was cheaper.

buy here

Not quite a double ring but the talon goes over two fingers so it counts.

buy here

Forget what I said earlier...THIS is my favorite!! So pretty and feminine, but still badass because it is a double ring. Kinda like my own little dirty secret...muahahahha

buy here

And this one is just WoW, but so relevant because of the Drunk Guy story. And this is why you should read the words too and not just look at the pretty pictures.

We're All Mad Here...

Words cannot express how excited I am about the new Alice In Wonderland movie by Tim Burton coming to theaters this weekend!!! I read Carroll's books numerous times, I saw all the cartoons and quote it all the time...I will not say I am obsessed, but I do truly love the story. I also love Tim Burton and his work, so I am expecting this movie to be amazing...

To celebrate the release this weekend, I decided to combine my Etsy Thursday with Alice...and let's say I went a little bit crazy =)

I am so in love with this pendant that I decided to post the pic even though it is sold out ='(

Pass Me the Carafe...

The Boy is obsessed with getting a carafe for his expensive whiskey, or scotch, or whatever. So I went on a search for a perfect carafe and all the cool ones are either uber expensive or available in UK only. So here are the ones I like, but will not buy. If I end up purchasing one, you'll be the first to know =)

This one is by Hermes...I don't even want to know how much this beauty costs


Oh my, it comes with extra glasses... *gulp*


So perfect, and yet a limited edition Mikasa piece...the price is over $1,000 *EEP!*


UK only, boooo hisssss


So pretty!!! Enjoy Englishmen!



So simple! So why so pricey???



The Boy's top pick...once again -- UK only, BOO!


Notice I did not post where you can purchase these...that's because if I can't have them NOONE can! If you want these the google "carafe" and don't tell me about it. *pout*
