Tenue... du soir!

lilysatine — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:16:35 +0000

... Pour aller voir mon amie Catherine "balancer" sur scène en quartet! Vraiment, ses performances live sont excellentes et toujours un grand plaisir - de jolies mélodies, des textes personnels avec ce qu'il faut de poésie et d'humour subtil, et des classiques de jazz ou de chanson française, en compagnie de très bons musiciens.

Bref, un concert et after géniaux, vraiment dans la bonne humeur et en excellente compagnie!

Pour en savoir davantage sur elle, et surtout trouver un prochain concert - car même si je ne suis pas fan de ses chansons studio, j'admire son énergie, sa présence et son talent sur scène et c'est bien là qu'il faut la découvrir - RDV sur son myspace.

(J'en oublierais la tenue!)

Pigletchops at Jalouse with Paris Hilton

pigletchops — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 16:53:12 +0000

Pigletchops had a fantastic time at the Jalouse nightclub opening in London this week. We were mingling with the likes of Paris Hilton, Mica Paris (who was having a great time on the dancefloor) and Ronan Keating. Also spotted were Bryan Ferry and sons and the stunning Skin. We were happy to supply Jalouse with items from our range for the celebritiy goody bags - lets watch and see who wears theirs first (apparently Paris was rather taken with her red roses bikini)!

Here's To You, Sue!

terrylee — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:14:59 +0000

Hey Y'all!

If you're reading this, more than likely you're familiar with my "VintageSue Fanaticism". She's one of the most creative, vibrant souls that I've ever met. She can take a piece of garbage (I'm talkin' trash picked right from the curb) and turn it into something so amazing, so wonderful (yes, so yummy!) that you would be proud to display it in your home.

I call it her "magic". I don't know how she does it ... but it continues to amaze me and thrill me each time I enter her booth of lovelies. It's like a spell that washes over me. She calls it "craziness", but whatever you call it, it is something very special.

Talent and creativity aside, what makes this lady even more special is her sweet, generous spirit. She has a "Pay it Forward" philosophy and I'm willing to bet that it has served her well.

Here then, are pictures of just some of the goodies that Sue has blessed me with ... both given to me and some I bought from her. In my opinion, they are ALL gifts. So here's to you, Sue!

Love and hugs to all!

I stumbled across the Fred Flare website a few weeks ago, and I'm still obsessed. I can't believe I never visited before. It has the best gifts and accessories, and way more retro toys than Urban Outfitters, at way more affordable prices. Right now I'm such a fan of these Laroche sunglasses, and they're only $11! I'd buy them now, but the shipping and handling is probably about that much, so I'm waiting until I can buy some Christmas gifts and lump the extra costs together. Play around and see what you find: I promise you you'll be bookmarking every other page.

Cardboard Boxes Equal Postcards

treehousejukebox — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:18:15 +0000

If you are in my postcard exchange group*, stop reading this right now.

Did you stop reading?

OK.

Here are 3 postcards I made recently. They're nothing fancy, but they tickle me!

I start my postcards by cutting a rectangle out of a box - a box of pasta, cereal, etc. These are then just painted and decorated.

I WISH I had designed the images, but no - these are from a really awesome set of retro-styled Halloween cut-outs that I love so much I can hardly stand it.

So, these were very simple to make and fun, too. There you have it!

*These are the first of my October batch of cards for the postcard group I just joined. We each make postcards and send them to the other members every month. :)

The Historical Boutique

Grace — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:30:00 +0000

I have a new shop from Grace a la Mode, "The Historical Boutique Collection". I make vintage and historical clothing for custom fit, or pre-sewn.

They range from: Medieval Era, Renaissance Era, 18th Century and Colonial, Regency, Victorian Era, Edwardian Era, Turn of the Century, Titanic and Teens Era, 1910s-1950s.

If you are interested, please see the main shop site: The Boutique Collection for examples of my sewing work. I can also fix garments that need hemming, patching...etc. I try my best to use notions that were used in the time period, but I can not make the garments exactly historically accurate because of the way they were formed. I will make my garments to fit the natural body form rather than a tight corset.

Hope you stop by!

Inredning från 1980-talet

retroinredning — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:13:58 +0000

Här är lite äkta 80-tal. Ska man skratta eller ska man gråta? Det är två fåtöljer och en soffa i samma stil som säljs. De är i trä och skinn. Möblemanget är designat av den amerikanske arkitekten Michael Graves för Swaya & Moroni i Milano. Michael Graves designade bl a en "kettle" för Alessi 1985. Det är deras största bästsäljare genom tiderna. Möblemanget tycker vi är hemskt nu, men det blir säkert inne igen. Och det är sannolikt mycket bra kvalitet. Utropspriset är 6000 kr (Auktionskompaniet, Stockholm 12 okt).

Blitz(er) is (re)born !

Here it is, my old-new bad boy, hommage to pre 2WW road racers. Couldn't wait for weekend so took the toosl in my hand last night, after Kiki's fell asleep. It's great to have a penthouse, altough I doubt that many people use it for mechanical workshop.

New stuff:

Scwalbe Blizzard 700x23 tires and tubes
Alu bottle holder
Alu handlebar
Ritchey grips
Shimano brake levers and cables
Red bell

More or less all budget parts.

Retro back-twisted, down pointed alu handlebar. And the bell to clear the road ahead.

Real bad boy side look.

I gave it a spin aroud the terrace ( they don't let me leave the house for a real spin ) and it rides very comfortable. I can realy smell the speed this machine can do in an old school fashion .

Some thing are still missing. Brakes need new pads. Pedals will be changed for a regular mountainbike type, maybe with SPD on one side for fast road trips. But for the rest , that's it.

Hope tomorrow we'll do the real spin!

Best Bank Ever!!

Eric — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:34:33 +0000

I spotted this ad in a recent issue of Famitsu.

It's a back that has a little display on it, and it keeps track of how much money you put in it. You can then buy items and weapons for you little hero and then go on a heroic adventure. Pretty damn cool! Too bad the text in is Japanese. I think it's a great way to save up money. One of the weapons is a crossbow for 12000 yen, so you have to save up a lot on money in your bank to get that high powered weapon. Don't forget you can always click on the picture for a large view of it.

Remember Events im Trend

dagy — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:42:39 +0000

Zur Zeit tauchen - wahrscheinlich vor allem in Personenkreisen mittleren Alters - immer wieder irgend welche "Remember Events" auf. Remember dies und remember das - und alles mit einem recht guten Zulauf - beim ersten Mal. Das Remember Thema trifft die Menschen bei ihrem Bedürfnis, alte Freunde und Bekannte mal wieder zu sehen, sich mit ihnen zu unterhalten und etwas über ihr aktuelles Leben zu erfahren.

Für den Erfolg eines solchen Anlasses ist es kritisch, die Entwicklung der Zielgruppe in Betracht zu ziehen. Einfach den alten Anlass zu kopieren, z.B. den damaligen DJ im Original-Lokal auf die Kanzel holen, reicht vielleicht als Anziehungspunkt für einen ersten Event. Und bei der zweiten Durchführung bleiben die Leute dann zu Hause. Hier wird oft vergessen, dass die jeweiligen Menschen älter geworden sind. Sie haben Familie und wollen eher zusammen reden, als sich in wummernden Beats zu der Musik von damals räkeln. Das alles ist stellvertretend gemeint für ein Event-Konzept, das an der Zielgruppe vorbei geplant worden war.

Gleichzeitig können Remember Events auch nur in relativ grossen Abständen abgehalten werden. Man hat's 10 oder 15 Jahre ohne die anderen Menschen von damals ausgehalten, dann will man sie jetzt wohl nicht jeden Monat treffen. Ein mal im Jahr, höchstens zwei Mal dürfte dem Rahmen einigermassen gerecht werden. Sprengt man dieses Mass, dann verliert sich das Interesse und die Menschen bleiben aus. Bescheidenheit zahlt sich hier auf jeden Fall aus.

Friday, October 10th, Laibach Special

chardman — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 05:20:23 +0000

've been putting the finishing touches on my show, which will go on tomorrow evening, from 9PM to Midnight (Pacific).
It's my hope that those even fairly familiar with Laibach will find some surprises and new sounds and that those unfamiliar will become illuminated.

I was fortunate enough to not only secure a long enough slot to go into the length and breadth of the Laibach/NSK phenomenon, but was also able to get Laibach founding member and spokesman Ivan Novak on the phone for an interview on the eve of the Portland show. That was exciting for me, as I am a huge fan.
I don't want to go into too much detail as to what's going to happen, but I do hope you tune in, if you can.

Blurb below:

A Three Hour Laibach Special
Join us for a three hour marathon of music from Laibach and NSK (Neue Slovenische Kunst).

For over twenty years, Laibach has been twisting insipid pop songs into sinister anthems, turning the art world upside down with menacing imagery and film, utilizing political propaganda systems as readymades in an unrelenting assault on dogmatic beliefs while revealing the 'hidden reverse' inherent in Western culture.

We'll explore the world of Laibach's music, their cryptic and often purposely contradictory ideology, hear from compatriot Slavoj Žižek, as well as music by side projects 300,000 V.K., Germania and an interview with founding Laibach member and spokesman Ivan Novak, recorded on the eve of their Portland show.

Laibach is currently on tour in the US and their latest album Volk turns anthems from around the world - both ancient and modern - into lovely pop songs.

That's on KBOO Community Radio at 90.7 FM in Portland, 100.7 FM in
Corvallis & Albany, and 91.9 in The Gorge and streaming worldwide at kboo.fm/listen

Der Sonic-Erfinder arbeitet an neuem Sonic-ähnlichen Spiel.

nerdmedia — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:57:30 +0000

Yuji Naka, der Erfinder von Sonic the Hedgehog hat angekündigt, dass er mit seinem neuen Entwicklerstudio, das auf den Namen Prope hört, an einem "Charakterbasiertem Action-Titel" arbeitet, das wi Sonic sein soll.
Inwiefern genau es "wie Sonic" sein soll, wurde nicht gesagt und bisher fehlen auch sämtliche Details zu Charakteren, Setting, Gameplay, Plattform, Genre, etc.
Ich denke mal, es wird einfach ein Game, in dem sie versuchen, recht einzigartige Charaktere mit schnellem Gameplay zu vermischen. So wie Sonic in seinen alten Tagen auch. Man darf gespannt sein.
Jedoch genauso wie bei allen kommenden Sonic Titeln habe ich auch bei diesem Spiel nicht wirklich die Hoffnung auf ein Meisterstück, das wirklich in die Fußstapfen der 16-Bit Sonic Games treten kann. Aber wir werden sehen.

A POCO NO LE GUSTARIA REVIVIR DE NUEVO LA ETAPA ANORADA DE MEXICO,
CUANDO LA VIDA ERA MAS FACIL?
LE RECOMIENDO QUE AHORA ,CON LA CRISIS QUE DICEN ALGUNOS EXPERTOS Y ALGUNOS NO TAN EXPERTOS,
QUE SE VIVIRA(EN LO PERSONAL NO LO CREO..PERO ...),SE PONGA A VER Y RECORDAR ALGUNAS
ESCENAS QUE HAN MARCADO NUESTRAS BELLAS VIVENCIAS...
DE TODOS QUIENES NOS CONSIDERAMOS MEXICANOS,
HAYAMOS NACIDO AQUI O NO...
Y POR FAVOR LE PIDO A UD. SEA VALIENTE Y ENCARE 'LA CRISIS',SONRRIENDO, MEXICANO.

DEBERIAMOS ESPERAR DE NUEVO A NUESTROS SUPERHEROES PARA QUE PUDIERAN RESOLVER ESO DE LA SEGURIDAD PUBLICA
ENTRE LOS QUE RECUERDO EN MI INFANCIA,
SE RIFABAN LA VIDA EN LAS CALLES, VIRUTA Y CAPULINA, EL SANTO Y AMIGOS,
KARATECAS,NINJAS Y DEMAS MARCIANOS HEROICOS DE LAS PELICULAS..
ELLOS SIEMPRE PATRULLABAN LA CIUDAD ESTILO CHARLES BRONSON, PERO ESTILO MEXICO,
SIN LICENCIAS NECESARIAS PARA TAL ACTIVIDAD, Y CON UNA MASCARA QUE SI BIEN NO ESPANTABA EL CRIMEN,
SI VENDIA REPLICAS EN LOS TIANGUIS,

POR CIERTO,SI LE DICEN VAGABUNDO...

SIENTASE COMO ESTRELLA DE TELEVISION,
AL FIN Y AL CABO,
YA SABE UD QUE LA PELICULA DONDE SALE ALGUNA PERSONA CON ATUENDO TIPO VAGABUNDO,
ES MEXICANA, Y DE SEGURO ES EXITOSA ,COMO NOSOTROS LOS POBRES, PERDON, LOS RICOS.
NO ME FALLEN SOBRINOS!!
BUENO ,YO SIEMPRE RECUERDO LAS PALABRAS DE ESE PERSONAJE DE MIS ANOS MOZOS,
EL CUAL NOS PEDIA A LOS SOBRINOS QUE NUNCA ;LE FALLARAMOS,
(YO PIENSO QUE SE REFERIA A ESO DE QUE ALGUN DIA QUERIA VERNOS CRECER Y SER PERSONAS
DE BIEN,TAL VEZ ALGUNA PROFESION BENEVOLA, EXCLUYENDO POR LOGICA
LAS DE DIPUTADO,ABOGADO,ETC..)
POR LO PRONTO,YO NO FALLE,
ESPERO QUE UDS TAMPOCO...
MEJOR RIASE DE LAS CRISIS
DEFIENDA EL GASTO FAMILIAR
COMPRE EN LOS TIANGUIS
APLIQUE MI FRASE :A PIRATA RETORCIDO, NO SE LE VE EL PARCHE EN EL OJO,
MEJOR RECIBALE EL PRODUCTO,
NO CREO QUE SEA CHINO, NI QUE ESTANDO HECHO EN MEXICO,SEA UN PRODUCTO DE BAJA CALIDAD
MAS BIEN SI LE OBSERVA ALGUN DEFECTO,LE PEDIMOS
CONTRAATACAR DESDE NUESTRO MEXICANO PUNTO DE VISTA.
NO SE ENFRASQUE EN DILEMAS Y DIVAGACIONES,
TOMESE UNA SOPITA MARUCHAN, DE LA CUAL PROPONGO REINVENTAR UNA ,PERO ESTILO MEXICO,
HACERLA EN VEZ DE HARINAS Y QUIMICOS DANINOS AL ORGANISMO,
DE FIBRAS DE NOPAL, O ALGO ASIHECHA ESPECIALMENTE
PARA EL MEXICANO QUE ES AVENTADO (EN MEXICO TODOS SOMOS HIJOS DE VILLA)
LE RECOMENDAMOS ANTES DE ENCARAR LA DIFICIL SITUACION FINANCIERA GLOBAL,
SENTARSE,RECORDAR A LA CHIQUITIBUM MENEANDOSE SABROSAMENTE FRENTE AL TELEVISOR,
CREER QUE AUN NUESTRO EQUIPO DE FUTBOL FAVORITO PASARA LA FINAL Y SERA VENCEDOR,
SABER QUE HEMOS PASADO VARIAS CRISIS EN NUESTRO PAIS,
Y SIEMPRE HEMOS SALIDO ADELANTE(DE OTRA CRISIS MAS GRAVE)
Y ESTAR PREVENIDO POR FRENTE Y RETAGUARDIA,
PONGASE A LEER REVISTAS DE SANO ESPARCIMIENTO,O DE PRODUCTOS CARNICOS SELECTOS,
ANORAR EL FAMOSO PROGRAMA DEL FINADO RAUL VELAZCO,Y SUS SIEMPRE NUEVOS INVITADOS
TENER SIEMPRE PRESENTE LA MUSICA POPULAR MEXICANA ACTUAL COMO UN BELLO HIMNO A
LA AUSTERIDAD ECONOMICA Y ARTISTICA,
A POCO NO SE LE ANTOJA IR A LA ESQUINA Y TRANQUILAMENTE(SIN SU PAREJA ACTUAL)
CENARSE UNOS SABROSISIMOS TAQUITOS CON TODO LO NECESARIO PARA JAMAS DEJAR DE RECORDAR
QUE EL CHILE ,ES DE CUIDADO!!!
NO SENOR, YO PIENSO
QUE LAS CRISIS ANTERIORES O VENIDERAS
JAMAS SERAN TAN DE TOMARSE EN SERIO, COMO CUANDO LLEGA EL ABONERO A LA PUERTA,
Y LOS CHAMACOS LE DESCUBREN A UNO EL PLAN DE QUE SALIO AL MANDADO EL JEFE DE LA CASA..
NO HAY NI HABRA,CRISIS EN MI CASA...SERA EL DICHO MEXICANO
MAS SONADO EN MI MENTE,DESPUES DE EL COMERCIAL DE LA CERVEZA CORONA, !BUEN PROVECHO!!

POR CIERTO:
LES DEJO UNA IMAGEN DE UN MEXICANO POBRE EN EL EXTRANJERO QUE SOLICITA
DINERO PARA UNAS CLASES DE KARATE,PUES SU PADRE FUE ASESINADO POR NINJAS...
APIADESE DE EL SI LO VE..
YA QUE LA CREATIVIDAD MEXICANA VALE MAS QUE EL EURO.
