Tout le monde a de l'enfance qui ronronne, Au fond d'une poche oubliée

This beautiful woman is Ashley Burnett.
We met in preschool 26 years ago and have been besties ever since.

You may remember her from previous posts.

She's a rockin' modern dancer kicking ass through the San Francisco art scene.

She's also a therapist at The Pad Studios giving magical massages with her fairy princess fingers.

Well now she is launching a line of jewelry called Tout le Monde.

She recently celebrated the soft launch of her site,

and when she is open to the public, I'll be sure to post.

Maybe she will even give Loose Change readers a discount!

you don't have to believe me, but the way i see it

I'd like to thank the person responsible for inventing blogs.
And Al Gore for inventing the internet.

Thank you.

I used to hat The White Queen, you know. Her head was so small.

Philip Treacy was on Project Runway last night.

Oh, thank you thank you thank you.

I love what Gawker had to say about the episode.

"Are hats fashion? Should one base a dress on an accessory or an accessory on a dress? Why do orchids look like vaginas? These were the very important questions answered by Project Runway last night. We're still a little confused."

"Papa Don't Preach: Hold up! Cunty Michael C has a son? For real? Is he a queen with a son or is he actually straight? Do we really live in a world that is so post-gay that a straight guy like Michael C could be so gay and in the fashion industry and not care that everyone thinks he's gay? Or do we live in a post gay world where it is OK for 'mos to just go around having babies like it doesn't matter. What does it all mean?"

a fire inside.

So last night I went to the Paramore concert, so what?
So my date was a twelve year old, so what?
So I actually left my cushy VIP box and elbowed my way through pimple-faced teens to get closer ... so what?

The fact is, I'm a die hard Paramore fan. I just can't help myself and I'm not going to apologize about it. (how dare you Pitchfork drones judge me!)

On Tuesday, while cursing the sky that there were not enough hours in the day to complete everything I needed, I found myself daydreaming about Hayley's bright red hair bouncing around Chicago on her day off.

My mind was one giant Hayley's Comet of swirling locks.

It, her hair, the fireball, the blaze, inspired me
and I started combing my blogs and favorite websites
to create an HW inspiration board.

Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie.

For The Dollar ReDe$ign Project, Dowling Duncan design firm has created some great images.

I'm loving their idea of vertical bills.

"When we researched how notes are used we realized people tend to handle and deal with money vertically rather than horizontally. You tend to hold a wallet or purse vertically when searching for notes. The majority of people hand over notes vertically when making purchases. All machines accept notes vertically. Therefore a vertical note makes more sense."

I'm seeing Gaga this Friday at Lollapalooza.

I'm really sorry for the lack of posting + the lack of having anything relevant to say

(wait, do I ever have anything relevant to say?? probably not).
I've been bzzzzzzzzzing about; a little bzzzzzzzy bee with work + JBTV (check out tonight's episode!) + being out of town.

blah.

I hereby promise to post more in August.
