DON’T KNOW HOW IT FEELS

I’ve got the feeling this weekend was unusual. But I’m not sure why.

Yesterday on my way home biking back from Williamsburg and Bushwick, I got rained on (again), which always puts me in a bad mood. (I was actually well prepared for this, so it wasn’t too bad…) So, I came home and just lied down in my warm, dry clothes and watched hours of true crime television. It felt really nice, but I kept getting scared that one day I would have my home invaded by a couple of thugs. Or something like that.

Anyway, my main reason for writing today was to let you know that the Take Off Your Clothes Fall-Winter 2011 collection will be available online for purchase. We will be releasing a couple designs a day until Friday. But I’m giving you a heads up now.

The collection is called “Body=Building” and is inspired by lingerie and construction sites.

Some of my personal favorite looks:

Hope you like it, friends!

FUCK!

I ain't gonna fuckin' lie anymore…
I just DON'T like sushi!
When I want a damn meal, I don't want cold fish and rice and crap; I want a warm and/or hearty meal, like a Frito pie or a fuckin' hamburger.

Jesus, I love buffalo burgers.

On a final note, I hate doing laundry. I try not to do it.
I'm wearing swimtrunks as underwear right now.

xo,
me.

Also, I have this photo on my computer of another Etsy seller when she was young, but I forget who it is. Any ideas?

Tape Destruction!

I listed a scary sounds Halloween CD in my Etsy store. I was looking through my CDs, which I hadn't done in awhile since they were at my apartment, not at my mother's, and I saw a CD labeled "Tape Destruction 1-4". It was this thing I'd made before leaving to Portland to do my CubistLiterature (aka NAZIRECTIONS) show.

Basically the "Tape Destruction" is a whole bunch of recordings mixed together to make a sound collage. Then I learned the the tape destruction process, which involves very carefully stretching/fucking up a cassette tape's tape-thing the music's recorded on. Learning that was sort of annoying cuz I'd always break the tape and have to get a new cassette to work with.

It's really insane all the recording I used to do, you know, back before joining Etsy. I remember one weekend night when I recorded the sounds of microphone feedback. I was sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth with the mic in my hands, and then I'd just move the position of my hands over the top of the mic. All of this manipulated the amount of feedback I'd get.

I feel like I was more productive then, when I wasn't on Etsy.

Anyways, I listed that CD for five dollars.  It's meant for background music while you're passing out candy or something, but if you're like me, you'd listen to it while chilling out, sewing, and drinking  some beer.

My favorite quotes from yesterday:
1. From "The Cosby Show": "I don't have a sister, but if I did, I'm sure she'd be stupid."
2. From a telephone call with my friend Elizabeth, who said: "Oh my god, I'm going to kill our maid."
