If the Shoe Fits, Buy It! Charles David Curtsy peeptoe


I'm picturing a black pencil skirt, a fitted grey button down, a black croc belt, and these Charles David Curtsy pumps. These hot heels are perfect for work!

Throwback - Paint with water books


Paint with Water books were brilliant - they allowed anyone with basic motor skills to exhibit (a modicum of) artistic talent.



The colors would magically appear in the appropriate place when you used a wet paintbrush across the pages. The trick, however, was not to oversaturate the paper - lest it dry all wrinkly, like the back of an octogenarian's hands.



I think that this could very possibly be how Thomas Kinkade still paints...

WTF? Tooth jewelry

What fine jewels should I wear to the gala? My haute couture gown requires stunning accessories, something with that extra special flair... 


Ah-hah! I have the perfect solution... Jewelry constructed from human teeth! It is practically a guarantee that nobody will have on the exact same outfit, unless a tribe of cannibals is also invited to the event.



1. This is creepy.
B. These teeth came from the mouth-holes of strangers.
4. On second thought, this is really creepy.


These adornments were created by Australian silversmith Polly van der Glas.

My American Idol

Introducing... Leslie Hall, lead singer of Leslie and the Lys. A new American hero. I adore her wacked out performances and sweet sense of style.



This inspired my Bedazzler purchase (work through the pain):


While this sparked creation of my latest dance routine (stomp once...):


She is a creative genius.

Retail Therapy - Two-finger rings

I am currently smitten with two-finger rings... the bird versions below are particularly compelling to me, though I am notoriously not a fan of birds.



I really think that I may need one of these... or maybe the name version, with my first name in script (not Melissa) - it's like having chic, personalized brass knuckles.
