Stumbled into this CUTE YouTube video via the ModCloth blog.

This led to more videos via YouTube. Taco sleeps just as loud as these guys:

Who knew about Pug Sunday in SF? Must investigate!

Sunday Flicks: Long Hair Daydreams

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 07:24:23 +0000

I am desperately trying to grow my hair. Right now, it is in that strange stage where it's getting kinda long, but not long enough to do anything with. For example, I can fix my hair in a short pony tail. But, I can only do so with a dozen bobby pins. Some times, I feel really frustrated with the length and layers of my hair, so much so that I at times feel that maybe it would be better to simply chop it all off!

When I feel impulsive for a haircut, I visit Strawberry Koi's YouTube channel for inspiration. Aya has plenty of tutorials on how to style hair in retro fashion. A favorite is the Classic Heidi Braid tutorial. Another is the 1950s Reverse Pompadour Rollback tutorial. Thanks for these videos, Aya. Grow, hair, grow!

Shopping for Funky Tights

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:09:47 +0000

I'm in the market for more funky tights. ModCloth has a good selection and though I'd love to get them all, I'm only going to buy one, maybe two at the most. These are my top 8 picks and I'm having trouble picking my top 2. What do you think?

Dress Me Up in My Love: 7/8/09

Since buying my first copy of Lula, I've been smitten with Luella. Several photo spreads in Lula featured items from the Luella collection. My favorites were: Nobody Sees Me Like You Do and Lovely Ladies, featuring the latest granny chic trend. Below are some of the items (albeit not granny chic) that caught my eye from the Luella online shop:

Free Blog Banner Raffle

View actual size

Do you like vintage labels, even the morbid ones? Is your blog dangerous, in need of its own warning label? If you answered yes to either question, you're in luck. I'm going to hold a raffle for this Caustic Potash! Poison. banner (900 x 416 pixels) next Wednesday. If you like it, leave a comment and a winner will be selected at random next week. The deadline for entry will be Tuesday, 7/14, at 10 pm, San Francisco time. The winner will be announced the following day. Okay, let's talk about the rules...

Rules:
Since this is a blog banner raffle, you must have a blog to enter. One person per entry, please. I would be happy to add your blog title and city/state to the banner with the Alabama font (32 characters max, including spaces, per line; 2 lines max). However, if you prefer to tinker with it yourself, I would leave that section blank. Apart from adding your blog title, the banner is going to be given away AS-IS. Also, in accepting this banner, the winner agrees to leave the Puglyfeet signature visible.

Good luck!

Dress Me Up in My Love: 7/7/09

This is one of many reasons why I would like to learn how to sew. I want to make this dress. I love the shoes (just because).

Pattern for the dress is from Style Dress Book.

Spools of Thread

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:55:20 +0000

Though I don't sew, I always find myself drawn to spools of thread, like these at Perfect Cleaners on Fillmore Street. Perhaps it's an indication that I should learn how to sew... or that I'm simply a die hard Colour Lover.

Noteworthy: Paper Source

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:54:36 +0000

I love Paper Source. I try to visit the store on Fillmore Street once a week. That's where I buy all the paper that I use as backdrops for my photo shoots. Most of the time, however, I just window shop. I admire all the pretty displays of gift wrap and the oodles of stationery. The Paper Source store is a design wonder! (No, this is not an ad -- I love PS, that is all.)

During today's visit, I spent my time looking at the non-paper items, like their office supplies and bags and other cute stuff. The Rainbow Trout Stapler caught my eye, and so did the cupcakes of naughty lip gloss. Anyhow, the following are my noteworthy Paper Source gift picks:
