The Princess commissioned me (pro bono, of course) to create a bag for a bday present for her friends party tomorrow.   I was instructed to "make something that looks like the stuff they sell at Hot Topic."   Eww!  If you want crap from HT, go there and buy it.   So I told her to pick out a photo and I will make the bag, but the way I want to.
So hours (HOURS) later, here is the custom bag for Miss A.


Honestly, making this bag has completely made me realize how much of a pay cut I am taking on Ebay right now.  $35 should be the starting bid.   But seeing as I need to sell these, I will keep them at the going rate (for now).  

Anyone interested in a custom order, please let me know.  Only the princess will gets them for free.   All other custom orders begin at $25.  :)

[omg - i just wrote this whole entry and it disappeared]  so, take 2:


My Friends.  I thank you for asking that question.   Grrrrr.  If he said that one more time during the damn debate I was gonna put my boot through the TV.   Talk about great drinking game fodder.

Speaking of great drinking games - Maverick.
Check out Ms. Tina Fey spoofing our fav VP pick:
Palin vs. Clinton
Palin talks to Katie
Palin/ Biden VP Debate

And you have to see this one!! (it compares Fey's Palin to Palin's Palin)
And Palin's response to Fey's portrayal.

Alright, enough about the esteemed Alaskan governer.   God bless her.  There's a special place in heaven for Israel Sarah Palin.

Could someone please explain to me why these shoes are selling for almost $4000 on ebay right now with 49 bids??????
Apparently there are only 2 pairs, but seeing as they are machine made, I am sure that Nike can just make more.   And since Nike nor M.Jordan are getting a penny off the $4K sale of these shoes, I really don't understand.   This particular style is slightly better, but most of these shoes look like a designer purse has been duct taped to a Converse.  
People who have money like this to blow for fucking tennis shoes should be stripped of their cash and their clothes and be forced to march down Main Street carrying a sigh stating what a Dumbass they are!!

LAZYASNBUM = damn straight!

( FRINGE + HOUSE = YEAH!!! )

Tomorrow is Bones (yeah) and hopefully more Zack-y.    But I'll take whatever I can get.  Watching TV seems to be my biggest joy at the moment - my reward for being so damn productive. 
I am going to be making some band and horror cuffs tomorrow, as well as a few more bags.  Please channel happy ebay shopper thoughts for me. 


( Another thought on Fringe )

After feverishly working for the entire weekend on some kick-ass now swag,  I thought I would share my creations with you.

Edward + Bella = Forever!    I can't help it, I love this picture.   Probably because they look the least like Bella and Edward in the photo.   Bag has lots of embellishments and sparkle.  Back is teal vinyl with stars and inside has a huge pocket.   Totally DiY, totally hot, total sparkly vampire goodness.
