painfully hip road trip design collective shoot – corpus christi edition (volume 1?)

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

this is just a teaser. i’m going to make you actually read before you see the rest
oh, and fyi, you may now click on any picture to see it in FULL SIZE.
i’d suggest that you do that
i’ll slowly be working my way back in time to add this new and exciting (to me. the rest of the world has been implementing it for ages,) feature to all previous posts as well. because i know there’s nothing that you’d like to see more than a larger version of my face!
exordium: since i wasn’t actually present at the shoot itself – just the styling of it the day before – i’ve attempted to stick with what i know – things i’ve designed myself, and a couple of the shots that amber and i styled together. you can check out a little more of the “diana-writing about things she didn’t experience” action over at painfully hip, but since she was the lucky one not puking that day, i think we should join forces and demand that she share her experience that day. let’s start a social revolution!!
moving on.
first of all, how shady am i?! first i’m here, then i’m not, then i come back, then i leave you again…
typical girl.
i’m moving, ok? it’s hard.
i don’t have an internet connection.
i’m beginning to have a personal issue with “boxes.”
as in, i whisper terrible things to them when no one is around.
like, “your mother never loved you,” and “your boyfriend told me i’m prettier than you.”
extreme? no. those things are pure evil. you put your stuff in them, and then you have to carry them.
want some good news? i’ve got pictures!! and a video! i know how much you love the videos. my stats page tells me exactly how many times each one has been viewed.
even after i guilt-trip you.
come on guys. ”slow internet connection” is not an excuse. i’m trying to entertain you.
remember all the way back in july? those good old days?
remember corpus christi? that place where i got really sick and stayed in bed for a day and a half, totally missing Fun Time?
well this beautiful girl/amazing hostess/provider-of-air-mattresses to those in need, and organizer of epic shoots sent us the results of the just-now-mentioned photo-op!

tucson 4th ave underpass reopening!!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

if you don’t live in tucson, you won’t care about the following, but know that us tucsonons are peeing our pants with glee right now.
this is almost as good as christmas.
no, this is better than christmas, because christmas doesn’t involve drunkenly stumbling through tunnels alongside moving vehicles and a trolly while squealing “spring break!!” as you venture forth on your mission to be seen in every bar tucson offers up.

yep, once again, 4th ave and downtown will be connected by one very convenient underpass.  no longer will we have to trek all the way to the 6th ave underpass to get to 80′s night.  no longer will we have to bravely endanger our lives as we try to take the “short cut” on a dare, climb across the train tracks, and fall off the other side of the bridge and break our ankle.  (i personally don’t know anyone who would do that …  maybe.)

if this thrills the living crap out of you and you’re in the area, then you should join us for some celebratin’ at preen.

i swear to you, it will be more fun than you can imagine.  i mean, look what happened last time.
