Obi No Kenobi

I woke up this morning, came downstairs, got my cereal only to find this....

sitting on the table. What is it? Well it appears to be a decapitated Lego Obi-Wan Kenobi in which the head of the great Jedi has been placed on the end of his light saber.

This is pretty much the story of my life. I wake up only to find nerdity and bizarre humor of my family displayed to the world. (Although I must admit it did make me laugh). Happy Monday Everybody!!!

Pasta Paper-Towel

Hello all! yes I know it's been a while. Since I have only posted twice on this little blog of mine it is quite obvious that I have only posted about fashion and not food  so here is a food post.

From these fresh, homegrown tomatoes I was able to coax out a wonderful tomato sauce. The recipe was completely made up and consisted of a few tomatoes, garlic roasted. Then you pealed them and finally their were pureed into a glories sauce.

After that I made a fettuccine based on Mark Bittman's pasta paper-towel  except, instead of rolling out the dough into a pasta paper-towel I put it through our nifty little pasta roller a turned it into fettuccine. Yum! 

Silent Sunday

Salute ami! 

     Since yesterday I posted about something I didn't like, or I think I didn't like, I have decided to post about something I like and this, of course, leads me to the Silent Sundays collection. This label is less a collection and more a collaboration of the best in national and international designers. 

 

What I think I like most about Silent Sundays is how their outfits our tailored to everyday use. More and more I have noticed that women's clothing has super tight, low cut, disgustingly high healed outfits that no one in their right mind would wear on a regular basis. I mean honestly, designers make us cloths to wear and I think most of us wouldn't wear that type of clothing to the workplace and 70% of our days are spent at work/school, and I'm not even talking about that avant-garde stuff, this is just their regular clothes. 

But even with the provocative outfits I still love to look at high fashion. It shows the more courageous, bold side of human nature that many conceal inside themselves. Even though Silent Sundays goes for a relaxed look it is still wonderful in it's own way. It's cinematography is to die for and whomever takes there photos should be given a big pat and the back because these photos are gorgeous.

Silent Sundays bring vintage casual wear to another level of femininity and comfort. It's relaxed without looking frumpy and vintage inspired without you picturing a really bad acted high school performance of Grease in musical form. I hate musicals.

     Sincerely Yours, Julie

Uh....Weird

Hello my nonexistent readers!
     Yes I have finally posted something. I have decided that this blog will just be a place where I can post things I see that are funny, weird, awkward and AWESOME. Today's post is all of these combined into one......

?????
     I have been looking at this outfit for about five minutes now and I still don't know what it is. Bless that model's heart he must be freakin' out. Don't worry dude, that shirt scares me too! But that's not saying much because most high fashion scares me, and even then...to his their own. But out of all of them this, by far, is the strangest one (oh besides the celery sticking out of the monkey tout) if you want the Andrea Pompilio fall/winter runway show that features the monkey clothing just click here.
     Sincerely a girl who's afraid of monkey shirts.
P.S. Beware the designer's webpage is in Italian.
