It was a rainy Sunday. We found some great deals, and my friend even got two paintings that are worth over $1000 when in mint condition. (She got them for $25 each.) Antique Road Show, here we come!

They were asking for $50 which I think is a bit much to pay for nostalgia...

Let’s reminisce for second, shall we. We rock. Last night while helping to “save” Nepalese orphans at the NGN benefit, I met a woman named Jessica who does PR Heavy Metal bands for Roadrunner Records  This is for you, Jessica.

Michelle and Laura and all the mermaidens, this is for you:

In the words of Jack Black of Tenacious D :

(Snort.) “Be you angels?   And we said Nay, We are but men. “

AHHH…But a tribute to us, because this year.  We ARE ANGELS.

I have known the theme for this year’s Mermaid Day Parade for some time now.  My delicious little iron mermaiden crew that I am part of has come up with a good one this year, but we have chose to keep you in suspense. We will not technically be Mermaids, but nautical all the same.  This will be my 7th year.  It’s tradition.  Like the 5 minute mini-tv webisodes that SONY is banking on, we will be angels on a mission for 1st place.  CONEY ISLAND, HERE WE COME!

  AND….Look out for the future photos of our masks and the parade!

 

Goil Foiled March 22, 2007

Filed under: Artsy, Crafty, TV shows — sanster @ 4:58 pm

I realized that all I do on my site lately is kvetch about the weather. What the hell, am I that boring. No…Hopefully not. I also spend my free time watching TV. So now I’m admitting to be truly geriatric in my old age. Oh well. Now, back to basics:

I watched a few episodes of TOP DESIGN yesterday. Goil was freaking out, and simply crying like a baby! And I cannot believe Michael.  He simply just DID NOT answer the question. Guess he’s young…and he got booted anyways. He’s right, he’s got many more years to do funky blood on the walls banquet halls and doily lace pillowed hospital rooms. For the record, I liked how Goil said being Thai reflected in his choice of colors, and further for the record I liked the flower chandelier. It was crafty and creative. (Although, I might be a little scared a stray petal might drop in my wine.) It must be strange for all of the contestants since all this happened a while ago. They really DRAMATIZE Carissa’s near mishap with her carpenter.

Locks of Luv care package… January 23, 2007

Filed under: Change is the Only Constant, Crafty, Girl Thangs — sanster @ 4:15 pm

So, I am writing this letter to the organization and I hope I can get some photos back from whoever gets a wig made out of the hair.

 Dear Locks of Love,

After much thought and going 7 months without a haircut, I decided to lop off my tresses.  I would like to donate my hair to your organization.  I saw those photos of the children who lost their hair due to illness and would love to help someone get a brand new wig made out of my hair.  My hair is black so I imagine it might suit an Asian person, or anyone in need of black hair.

I did a mini-blog where there are photos.  I got my haircut done at a salon in LES, called Fringe.   Fringe is located in the Lower East Side.  They did a great job with it.  I would love to find out more about the little girl who gets the hair, and what she looks like.  How old might she be, and where does she live?

Your site is amazing and an inspiration to all.  I loved seeing the “before and after.”  It made me realize that in this day and age, kids get chemotherapy, or suffer from early alopecia.  Many celebrities may cut their hair off to make a political statement or to change their appearance.  When women don’t have a choice of hairstyle because their hair is gone, I’d imagine there is a lot of stigma and teasing in early-adolescent development. I also enclosed some candy and soap.  There is a notebook for the girl that gets the wig.  I’d love it if she got a chance to write stories in it, or to share poetry and reflections.  The soap is from the store at the end of my block, Sabon.  

Enclosed is a check for $x from the following people (insert your name here), and a card for the salon where it was cut. (I am going to contribute $50 and if you are reading this and want to contribute, please feel free to send a check to:
