what the??!?!!!

clearly!!!!

when i woke up this morning and turned on the ol trusty lap top ( i used to think it was lab top by the way. talk about a design tard.) and saw my 2nd grade picture and then SEVERAL pictures of myself i thought i was dead. it didn't take long to figure out what was really going on...what a guy, huh ladies????

i can't thank you enough for what that meant to me. as pathetic as it sounds you guys are my friends. in a way, ya know? i feel protective of you and i would probably beat a face in for you if i needed to. when any of you are down or facing pain or tragedy i feel it too. and i say prayers for you and all that too sometimes, when needed. i rully do. so to see your efforts to make my birthday special is enough to make me cry a little. you all make me feel special enough anyway when you comment and tell me i am funny, or i made you laugh or what have you...that is always a gift. and THIS...this is..just...icing on the cake!! so thank you. thank you very much. i fully intend to thank each of you individually but i wanted to get this out there...so in the mean time lets enjoy some cake:

in a place like this:

and lest you think i forget...mike...for you i give you this:

for enduring my endless obsession with robwerd cullenson and for loving me in spite of it and for putting this birthday surprise together. you are my hero. so go and motorboat those boobies...

so far 40 is kicking ass.

sea bass.

my frosty brings all the boys to the yard

not much to say other than i just shot 6 commercials in 2 days and i feel every second of my almost 40 years (tomorrow). it was all a lot of fun though, i got to work with my favorite director peter siaggas on all the spots. my dear friend loren tarquinio (his wife anna is my bestie)

and i shot 4 of the commercials yesterday for a flooring company. i don't have any pics from yesterday b/c my camera went dead. just the pics from the hooter's commercial. as you can see i looked pretty fucking ridiculous. complete with cherry red eyebrows and freckles. below is jamie who played ron mcdonald. duh. and you might be able to tell how they squashed my boobs down as much as is humanly possible...

the hooters set:

this was pretty much all the hooters girls did all day...text...(and that old guy was the food stylist who pretty much hung out here all day when he wasn't making my cheeseburger look fresh)

it was awesome to do what it is i love to do and frankly what i do best..and that is act. it's where i am happiest. it was sucky to be away from all of you guys though. especially from all of your blogs and i can't wait to catch up with all of you.

tonight i am celebrating my birthday with a special dinner my husband has been planning...

more on that tomorrow!

peace out lovers..

don't cry

i am going to be working on a hooter's commercial for most of today (thursday). i will miss you all.

will be back with some (more than likely ridiculous) pictures of the day later tonight.

btw. NOT as a hooters girl.

just what you need, another fucking wallpaper post

i saw some pretty papers that i had not seen before, either that or early alzheimers is settling in. in any case i think there is one for everyone here...

how sexy is this red and black number?? a powder room perhaps? or even a dining room?


this one is designed by mark mothersbaugh , aka the lead singer of DEVO. modern kabin kitsch?

dainty but statement worthy:

this is soooooo not me, but i love it anyway. it's what malibu barbie would have in her den:

it's the ones that from a distance just look like pretty swirlies but on closer inspection reveal swans that get me. also, if you step away from your computer it kinda looks like yosemite sam's mustache.

bold and pretty and classic but with a bit of edge, like me:

this one stopped me in my tracks. this one in my sitting room a la hamish bowles:

i did not know beaded glass wallpaper existed! this takes it to another level.

it's like sequins for your walls!!

good in an entry:

this would be cool in framed panels in a dining room:

so there you have it. another wallpaper post in the blogosphere. i hope i at least brought you one or two you hadn't seen. lots more here.

crones

in honor of turning 40 this weekend i needed a reminder of just how hot 40 can be. now i chose women that, to me, looked as though they had little to no work done. just hard work and good genes on their part and maybe a botox injection here or there. so, sorry nicole kidman...you used to be a fine example of beauty at 40 but not anymore. now you just look like a wax version of yourself.

i give you tha hotness:

michelle O 45

cate blanchett 40

salma hayek 43 (look at those chi chi's SGM)

sandra bullock 45
