Happy Valentine's/Single Awareness Whatever Day...

Yeah, it's Valentine's Day. Yay. It's SO much fun when you're single! So here's a heart to set the mood. Can you feel the love? I know I can, because my facebook feed is vomiting it everywhere.

I can't blame all you lovebirds though. If I had someone special in my life, I'd give them my heart too, but probably not my extensive circulatory system like this guy. Jeez!

Until Mr. Right finds his way off whatever deserted island he MUST be on right now, I'll just keep wearing my heart on sleeve. Ladies, you don't have to take that literally.

And I'll try not to be jaded towards love, because really, what good does that do? Besides, the chocolate is 50% tomorrow!

I'm not even sorry.

Ponies Y'all!


PONIES! :D
PONIES IN SCOTLAND! :D
PONIES IN SCOTLAND IN SWEATERS! :D
*jumpers, for all you proper Brits out there!*

This is seriously sweet. Now, we all know that animals in clothes aren't really my thing, but COME ON. These Shetland ponies, Fivla and Vitamin, in Fair Isle Sweaters are the brainchild of the Scottish Tourism board. Why ponies in sweaters, to encourage people to visit the bonnie land of the Scots for all and in all of its natural beauty.

Visit Scotland? OK, I WILL.


Ponies aside, who doesn't want to go to Scotland anyway? Beautiful country, gorgeous accents, gingers a plenty(!), a rich and storied history, legit pubs, and yeah, ponies in sweaters - there is that.  Basically, it's a magical land full of adorable creatures and occasionally lake monster. What's not to like?

I swear to you, that pony is SMILING.

Now, enjoy the video.

He's Not The Hero This Blog Needs...

But he's the hero it deserves.
(By which I mean a totally camp villain!)

Happy 2013! Let's Get Weird...

Stockholm-based fashion designer Sandra Backlund, created this... interesting garment. I'm pretty sure H.R. Giger was the creative consultant. Also, I'm glad to see that Samara from The Ring was able to find work post spider crawling out of that well!

Does. Not. Want.
 
 It's a sweater, for your chair. NOT YOU.

Remember that moment in Jurassic Park when Newman from Seinfeld makes special friends with that dinosaur in the jeep? I'm pretty sure this headgear was based on that scene.

Well. I think I've finally found my wedding dress, and look, there's the bridesmaids' dress in the back!

Hmmm... wrong the force is, with this one!

Ready for the Ball Drop...

If you're like me, you're kind of stunned at how quickly the years seem to pass. One minute, it's January and you're taking down the tree, cleaning up wrapping paper and decorations, and the next minute, you're picking out your Halloween costume, dressing a turkey for Thanksgiving, and putting that tree up again. It's crazy. Well, 2012 is about to pass into the days of Auld Lang Syne and the sun is about to rise on 2013. It's a time for reflection, for resolution, and the biggest question we all must ask ourselves at the advent of each new year...

"what do I wear?"

I'm here to find the answer to just that question.

You could wear something like this. It's fun. It's festive. What could be more appropriate to wear to the big ball drop than a bunch of big balls? It also provides a nice buffer zone between you and other Times Square party goers. Random drunk guy trying to move in for a slobbery midnight kiss? Good luck getting past this thing, bucko.

Or this! It's got the ball theme of the evening, and it even looks snowy, which sometimes happens on New Year's. Plus, it'll help you keep that yearly resolution to drop some weight. You shed that thing and you've instantly lost 10 lbs! 

One more look that echoes the beauty of the ball drop, and as you can see, this fantastic look has already won some kind of major award.

Want something a little more "narrative"? How about this throwback number? You can ring in 2013 by remembering the anticipation, wonder, and slightly terrifying foreboding that was the year 2000. "Happy New Year! We might all die at any moment!"

Happy New Year!

Teach Me, Master...

A crackling fire in your Christmas sweater. IN IT. 
I'm not sure this can be topped. +1 internets to you sir.

If there's anything a $700 piece of technology should be used for, it's surely this.


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

The Yuletribe. They Are A Festive People...

I pulled this pic from National Geographic. Let me introduce you to Kringle, the King of the Yuletribe, a newly discovered people group off the coast of eastern coast of northernmost Canada. The "Yulies" as they like to call themselves are a very happy and clever people, crafting most of their clothing from discarded Christmas decorations and sweaters culled from various ugly sweater functions. The gold garland is a symbol of his great standing amongst his tribe. Lesser kinsmen are only allowed to drape their torsos in simple bead garlands.

Kringle's wife, Merry, is an equally jolly soul, though she does wield her candy can scepter with a fierce justice against those who are naughty, not nice. Her hat and evergreen garland have been passed down through her family for generations. They are a proud symbol for Yule people, being represented on the flag, arms, and mini bus of the tribe.

IWIDK
The traditional garb of the Yuletribe is not only beautiful, but it serves as excellent camo for any Yulie being pursued by a predator or if one wonders into overcrowded mall during the Christmas season. In either instance, it proves to confuse and annoy the aggressor, or allows one to simply blend in with holiday decor until escape is possible.

Even the animal companions of the Yulies are bedecked in their festive best. As with most animals, they're thrilled to be trapped in human clothing. Thrilled.

Here is an example of ceremonial garb of the King Kringle's tribe. This intricate and finely crafted garment would be worn for an event such as a wedding, coronation, or fertility festival (what we might refer to as 'Valentine's Day.')

A truly fascinating people! Merry Christmas, Yuletribe!
