I think my favorite E/N blogs is Dark Roasted Blend, and today they did a feature on dolls, which had two great videos. First, the hilarious “Rad Repeating’ Tarzan” doll, sold in 1999. Caitlin chided me for interrupting her viewing of Paris Hilton’s my new BFF by watching this over and over giggling.
And then to knock those laughs out of you… some laughing!
I put some t-shirts up… Click the pic to access my initial selection.
I forgot how much I like potato gnocchi. Nefarious got it in her head that we should have skewers today, and seeing that large shrimp was on sale we picked up a bag. I grilled the shrimp in sesame oil and garlic with a lemon and spicy black bean marinade, and did gnocchi and broccoli in the same. Crazy delicious. For desert we made a DIY double chocolate and butterscotch lava cake with whipped cream and sugar sprinkles. Also crazy delicious.
Then Frog and Toad, Babar, and another chapter of her latest fairy novel…
Caitlin did her own makeup and Nefarious’s makeup, and helped me get my appliance glued on and then I did the remainder of my makeup. It was all done with a mix of regular face paint makeup, fake blood, liquid latex, and a latex appliance and spirit glue. The last three photos were taken after we returned, so as you can see it survived pretty well.
We had a great time at the zombie walk today. There must have been about three thousand zombies there. Maybe a bit more… It’s hard to guess. We got there at around 2:30 and then left at about 4:45 after walking up Bathurst for a bit. In the photos below (the numbering is off — the earlier ones are in the previous entry):
