Don't fall!

It's another Chicago day! Maybe I should bring my camera and take some pictures like photographer, Tom Ryaboi. Let me tell you right now - there is no way...I get nervous standing next to a window in tall buildings!!! Heck - these photos make me anxious.

[nervous sigh]

Pirate chic.

Yesterday I dressed in what I called a pirate chic outfit :) It reminded me of this amazing Bohemian beach wedding (a smidge over-styled, but who knows, maybe all those people are really just that cool!).

A dream is a wish your heart makes.

I just couldn't resist, after all there is a little Disney princess in me :)

Hope your weekend is wonderful!

Would you rather....

Live in a cave or a shipping container? Hmmmmmm......well if you are talking about Adam Kalkin's shipping container houses or the Yunak Evleri Cappadocia Cave Hotel in Turkey, then that's a tough choice.

WARNING!

You might be offended by today's post. I am. It all depends on your feelings about taxidermy. I grew up with furry head friends on the wall - Ted the caribou was my favorite (he even had a Christmas harness!). But I can't say I like it. It's creepy, sad and dark. It does make for some controversial art though! Some of the images I found I can't bring myself to post (if you can handle it, click here).

[sigh] Poor animals.
