Slips made to show?

This was just in a Daily Candy email article, but I figured I’d make note of it by posting a blog (It would get lost forever in my browser bookmarks). There’s a company, Your Slip Is Showing, that makes the sweetest and sexiest slips that are meant to show beneath your skirt or dress.

I’ve been wanting something like this, but hadn’t really thought to look for it, so I was glad to see someone had already thought of and created cute slips that are meant to be shown. Too bad they’re so expensive, I have other things to save for.

Ah, to be a rogue...

I’ve been distracted from my supposed crafty needs by World of Warcraft battlegrounds. I have a poorly geared 70 who could really use several more hours of my dedicated nerd time in order to measure up to some of the Alliance I’ve been coming up against. Maybe it’s good that players exist who are bigger nerds than me?

Well, besides, you know.. real life things. Like excessive cleaning because I’m kinda stressed and bored - I’m figuring a lot of that is caused by not having a second job, and that my first job doesn’t pay too badly but doesn’t require many working hours either.

Plus I spend a lot of time organizing magazine tear-outs of inspirational fashiony stuff so next time I go shopping (read: have extra money to spend) I buy things that are more bold and daring since currently I wear a lot of neutrals.

Vamos Rafa!

I’m a huge tennis fan. Today, Rafael Nadal is officially #1 in the world.

 
He’s been my favorite player for years, and I’ve been waiting for him to finally take over the #1 spot.. and he did! He’s won the last three French Open finals (which is on clay), and this year he was finally able to beat Roger Federer on grass at Wimbledon. Plus, he won a gold medal at the olympics on Sunday!

The second I remembered what day it is (which I’ve been looking forward to, the day Rafa takes the number one ranking), I ran to my computer and opened the official ATP site, glad to see they’d already changed everything (at probably 2:00 am) to congratulate Nadal. Woo!

Work & Play

Hm. Gilly Hicks interview coming up. I could use another part-time job!

I’m busy lately. That’s not going to change much since I just resubscribed to World of Warcraft, I haven’t played in a few weeks since I cancelled it. Ah, well. I hit 70 I think earlier this month and stopped playing. Sometimes life gets in the way of being the big gamer that I’ve always been.

Whimsy?

Lately I’m feeling bored. I’m feeling like I work, when I’m not I play my silly video games.. and of course I have other fun, but without any real creative outlet. Suddenly I want to view the world in different colors than I’m used to, in more exciting and brighter, flashier ways. I used to try to craft. Perhaps I should try it again.

I find myself wanting to draw, paint, sew, mold ridiculous things with clay.. And so begins the research. I’m not really the type of person to just jump into something without thinking it through - unless it’s now or never, one in a lifetime.. then I’ll probably go for it - but releasing my inner creative, childlike self isn’t like that.

Everyone has some sort of creative talent within them, I believe.. but I often am too critical of my personal work or take it as only a joke and my artist aspirations never go anywhere. Maybe it’s time to change all that. I guess I’ll just have to see how this goes..
