Mens Camper-style Watches
Dudes need to wear watches! And, you don't need to spend a ton of money on an obnoxious Breitling either... The following is a trend I'm spotting that I love... canvas/nylon straps good for casual days/nights.
Big in Russia
Apparently, the Russians had a thing for the Mayans... below are some pretty rad Soviet Mayan Playing Cards.
a Hearty Happy Hour
It's Friday, have a cocktail!
I'm currently addicted to Dark 'n Stormy's. The perfect winter cocktail... sweet 'n spicy and super easy to concoct.
Life Calendars
How do you measure a year? In smiles, in sex? In love, in tears? Here's a nice graphic way to catalog your days.

Manhattan Fashion in Frigid Conditions
Hard to look cute when the wind is whipping round skyscrapers at below freezing temps, but below are a couple ways I observed the ladies who do–rock it in NYC.
My 1st Purchase of the Year
How do you measure a life?
My 31st year started off fairly quiet. I was complacent yet secure with my job and juggling a busy, yet uninspiring "love life"... all-in-all comfortable. It ends with the see-saw flipping to the other side... I'm excited to be dating only one person (because it's the right person), yet my career has been annoyingly rocky and unstable.
See-saws suck btw. They are the most useless event at the playground. There's like 2 seconds of "Weee..." that involves a killer quad workout and then an abrupt splat on your ass that sends hair-raising vibrations up your spine and not in that good kinda way.

Fun to be had and Mr. Rain's
I rang in 2011 at Mr. Rain's Fun House, a new restaurant on the top level of the Visionary Art Museum. Despite some major kinks in service, I had a blast with a few of my closest friends. The most fun might have been on the way to the Ladies Room with the circus-show-freaky-mirrors. Below are a few flash-happy highlights with Lil Miss Honsauce and I.
I want. I need. I must recreate.
and I'll add it to the long list of ongoing projects. Actually, I've already been unknowingly collecting animals for this project... dinosaurs to be exact! I just gotta find a way to saw them in half and screw them to a piece of wood. Purchase here if you choose to go that route.

First, Second and Third Impressions
I started a new job today and I was going to post this yesterday... talking about how when you first start a new job your wardrobe is super polished the first week... until you feel out the other ladies in the office and little by little see what you can get away with. Working as a graphic designer there is automatically more leeway to be more "creative" with your fashion ensembles. Lucky me ;) tho this typically depends on the amount of client interaction in the office.
Designer's Fresh Job: Week 1 by Goya Girl featuring chiffon tops
Designer's Fresh Job: Week 2 by Goya Girl featuring two tone jewelry
Designer's Fresh Job: Week 3 by Goya Girl featuring plaid tops
Well super lucky me... I can skip right ahead to Week 3! I def saw lots of jeans in the office today and even one hoody. Now all I need is a buddy that enjoys listening to hip hop and indie music, doesn't mind the occasional "f"bomb and is willing to give me sound texting and dating advice or will at least pretend to listen while I recant my weekend absurdities.

I like charts.
I particularly find the first one interesting... in my need for definition. I guess I could fall into several categories: the Art & Design Blogger, the Fashion Blogger and (yikes!) the Emo Blogger.
facebook: approximately 85% evil
More times than not because you tend to live by comparison, but also there's that ex... the one (or ones) that are so beneath you, but whom you can't help but peep-in on from time to time. The sight of him all snuggly and toothy with someone else throws you into an instant sour mood. EVEN THO you'd much rather scrub the scum off your bathroom tub than watch an episode of Friends with him.
And don't even get me started on Status'.

Still, I can't help but participate.
The gifts that keep on giving
Don't get me wrong, receiving bling as a gift is Grrreeat (like Tony would say), but almost as good is when a dude buys a gift because he's really paying attention to what you say or how your living your life. Example: I once got a humidifier from a boyfriend who noticed how congested I would wake up each morning... Not so sexy but sweet. Another Example: Another boyfriend, after noticing that I had no way to view guests or people knocking at my door (no good-in the hood) bought me a peep hole. He came over with his drill and automatically got to work ;) In other words-he didn't even ask my permission, just drilled a hole in my door and installed a peep hole. Now that was VERY sexy! Another Example: The dude that bought me a new set of wine glasses after seeing I had broken all but one. Another Example: The dude that bought me a set of Shamwow towels after seeing how water splashes all over my counter when washing dishes. Ironically, I use them now for anything but that purpose... Another Example: My recent honey who bought me a remote for my Mac, since I use it regularly as a stereo and TV.
Sure these gifts are predominantly practical, but they are a sign that you are staying on their mind (in a good way). I think often we assume that what we say to our dudes goes in one ear and out the other, which in general-is the case. That's why it's extra special when they randomly go out of their way to give us a gift that we may not have even thought of for ourselves. These are the gifts that I remember.
My 5 Days of Christmas
Tuesday, December 21st
I can't think of a better way to begin my holiday festivities... A charcuterie n' cheese platter, multiple pitchers of sangria and some great girlies.
Wednesday, December 22nd
A Very Merry Onesie Party for Adults or Adult-like folk!
Thursday, December 23rd
My annual cookie-making/cookie-decorating with the kiddies.
Friday, December 24th
Christmas Eve at Mom's... when and where the majority of eating and cheersing takes place.
Saturday, December 25th (Christmas!)
Christmas Day is usually spent in comfy clothing eating leftover sweets and juicy pork from the night before... and of course some gift giving and games.
When I grow up...
Someday... I will throw parties to end all parties.
Parties with the methodology of Martha (Stewart) and the quirkiness of Kelly (Wearstler).
Bet.
Natalie vs. Mila
So...... Randomly the subject in the office centers around Natalie Portman. I mention that she's in this movie I really want to see Black Swan, I say Mila Kunis is also in that movie. Coming from a majority female office and trying to take advantage of my dude time... I say, "Who do you think is hotter? Mila or Natalie?" Hmm.... some deliberation ensues... "Well, see Natalie is actually a 'good' actresss and we've seen her in roles where she hasn't looked so hot, but Mila... she always looks hot. So... Mila!"
Take note ladies... Talent can backfire on ya! Especially "real" talent.
Well, I say BS! Natalie Portman is my homegirl and freakin' stunning and classic, anyway you cut her.
Oh yeah, hi and there's this.

Thinkin' of a Master Plan
Saw this at swissmiss, they are highlighting their tree but I'm more interested in the poster in the background. In honor of Eric B. & Rakim's Paid in Full... I need it. Would be nice to have a letterpress copy, but not finding it through google :/
May have to recreate.
