Seriously...WTF??? Fur hair extensions..........really..............sometimes I just hate people.
I've been meaning to share these photos for a couple weeks now as you will see from the calendar...I finished my room in my new place and I love it. My whole apartment is really amazing and magical but I love how my room turned out. It has been a really loooooong time since I've had my bedroom be just my bedroom. There is also an adorable little balcony off my room including the original screen door from the 40's I'm guessing. I get tons of light.
part of my wall collage.
The hat storage idea was not mine, I found the tip here however I didn't measure anything, I am not a measuring person, I eyeball everything, I just know where I want things and I put them there. I'm too impatient for measuring, luckily I have a decent eye...but I fuck shit up sometimes too.
It's funny I got this glasses display idea off of a beautiful mess too!
This blanket was an amazing gift from an amazing roommate I had for a mere 3 months, she was one of the sweetest, kindest most giving people I have met.
So I made 5 million pom poms of varying sizes for an art show these are some of the left overs, my sister has some in her room and there are some in our hallway and a hatbox full of more...yeah I got a little carried away...awesome tutorial can be found here on honestly WTF I love that blog...I mean it's called honestly WTF...its like we are soul mates.
trees and windows. This is why we call our apartment the Treehouse, also the living room is one huge long wall of windows in the trees.
The whale print is by Tara McPherson of course! Love her, love her work, it's tattooed on my body, I have 2 other prints of hers and so does my sister!
Art on the left starting from the left and moving clockwise, Vintage Disneyland Tiki Room Print from when they re-opened it and shag did a bunch of art for it, I have a pair of his prints of the jungle cruise too. By the way I'm mildly obsessed with the tiki culture of the 50's and 60's. 2) oh I LOVE this piece taco head print by John VanFleet love him love his work. and then 3) my dork original which is basically a self portrait.
i just like these colors.
artwork starting from the upper right moving counterclockwise 1) vintage hawaiian print inherited from my grandparents 2) print from the super talented Scott Barry 3) fucking amazing "sketch" of Harry Potter by Tommy Lee Edwards I love his work so much, his work is just insane! 4) cover from the first issue of our little mini comic anthology from back in the day called Nice by Lee Bermejo yes it's me at 18 holding a chainsaw...not much has changed.
collage wall again. Unicorns print by Vol. 25
The artwork in the blue frame is a little painting of my favorite Sandman character delirium by the watercolor genius Rebecca Guay it was a gift from a very good friend. I love her work. The photo is a beautiful one of my grandparents on their porch reading the paper. The brown hat hanging on the wall belonged to my grandfather. It still has his business cards in the rim.
daily reminder It's ok.
So that's my room!

this post is amazing! Vegansaurus does it again and says it like it is! I have heard all of these 5 million times since I was 16, sometimes all of them in order, I've been mocked, harrassed, yelled at, challenged and asked WHY I don't eat meat only for them to proceed to rip me apart. I chose to not answer that question for many years, I also said it was innapropriate to discuss whilst eating. You would think that when I tell a carnivore that I don't want to discuss it because I'm tired of being attacked for my choices and answers they would let it go............nope then they just wanted to know why I was being so secretive and defensive about it.........weird. So then I started getting really irritable about it and say it's none of your business and I'm not answering questions about it. Keep in mind this was the mid to late 90's so being a veggie wasn't that mainstream yet and I lived in meat heavy conservative towns.
Luckily it's better than it used to be. People leave me alone a lot more. But I still get shit and people think it's funny............let me tell you right now IT'S NOT FUNNY. I do not antagonize meat eaters, I may give information, suggest they don't eat meat one or two days a week in disscussion, serve them amazing vegan food and discuss things not over food so why do meat eaters think it's ok to harass me? I've concluded it's meat eater guilt, massive defensiveness trying to mask it. The whole thing is really annoying.
Foodie trends are annoying. People attacking the MINORITY all the time is annoying. Meat eaters and foodies inability to take any criticism after slinging insult after insult at you is annoying. Seriously I called bacon a trend on pinterest and it was like I said no one should poop ever again! So I deleted the board which was entitled "trends that need to die". If you think that bacon everything and bacon being put into everything isn't a foodie/hipster trend you are A) in denial B) an idiot. Deal with it.
