This is kind of a hard post to write. I’m still a little shocked and very much saddened. Neal and I often walk to Target. It’s near our house, we need the exercise and its better for the environment than driving that short distance. On the walk home tonight, we stopped at an entrance to [...]

Can We Please Stop “Upcycling”?
January 17, 2010 – 2:07 pm
If you’ve ever browsed crafts marketplace, Etsy, you’ve encountered the term “upcycled”. Upcycling is a clever marketing term that people have invented to try to make their craft seem “green” or environmentally friendly. In non-PC terms however, upcycling = “making crafts out of trash”.
I think Helen Killer of Regretsy (a fantastic site that snarks the [...]
I Can Have It All
January 15, 2010 – 10:25 am
I’m a huge fan of Brezsny’s Freewill Astrology. (I’m not necessarily an astrology believer but I think there’s some truth and patterns to it. Rob’s horoscopes though are always a fan read and feel relevant). The Sagittarius horoscope for this week reads:
“You can have it all,” says fashion designer Luella Bartley. “It’s just really hard [...]
Why We Stopped Shopping at Easton Messy’s (Macy’s)
January 14, 2010 – 11:00 am
There’s a saying, “A picture is worth 1,000 words”. It’s true. My sister visited us over the week after Christmas. She’s an avid Macy’s fan. When my mum told her that Neal and I went to the Macy’s in New York City, her response was, “They went to the Vatican?”. [...]
Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful on iTunes
January 13, 2010 – 1:37 pm
Julie Brown’s spoof of Madonna’s Truth or Dare rockumentary, Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful, is likely to be some of her best work. It was released on VHS in 1994. Neal and I had believed that it was never released on DVD (an Amazon search disproves this).
Yesterday, Neal made the happy discovery that this gem [...]
Care Label Fail
January 12, 2010 – 5:45 pm
As Neal and I are planning to start a clothing company in the near future, we’ve been learning all we can about the industry and the various legal requirements. One of those requirements is the care and content label. Kathleen has a number of blog posts on labeling over at Fashion Incubator. On the one [...]
Relaunching Our Blog
January 11, 2010 – 11:45 pm
We launched this blog at Christmas 2008. I wrote a post. Neal wrote a post. And that was about it. The server was even down for some time while I was wrapped up in other projects. Recently, we decided that we’d give this blog another go. I’ll probably post [...]
Merry Christmas
December 25, 2008 – 7:24 am
Six months ago, right before Columbus Pride, I met an incredible man named Neal. We had an instant chemistry and now we’re building a life together. Part of this process includes the many things that couples do together like taking trips, celebrating events, getting to know each other’s friends and of course, our first Christmas [...]
