Conde Nast 2007 Hotel Hot List: Pan Pacific

South Lake Union's new Pan Pacific Hotel made Conde Nast's 2007 Hotel Hot List. Walked by it last friday and the sexxxy wood paneling caught my eye...turns out it's "zebrawood". That's what I'm talkin' bout!

Hot shoes survey

People. This is a matter of utmost importance that needs your immediate attention! The Beverly Feldman (left) or the J Lo (right).

Dorky pictures

The whole reason for this post - an excuse to showcase this jem. I think this is one of my "july" birthday parties.

Me n' Wendi. Freshman year at Western. We kinda got in trouble that night...but we got a pass because wendi knows how to bs like no other!

Greatest invention ever - troll house made out of lucky charms box, WITH elevator. Bangs.

This pretty much sums up my dad and sister.

Charlie, our old dog. Rest in Peace!

I thought of this pic when I was posting art for Shinobu Matsui. Fishing at our campsite.

Old skool me, in my pink polka-dot suit, at the house we stayed in while our house was being built that summer. Whee!

I love this picture because it's me and my *sister* and we look tan and worn out from a long day of slip-and-slide.

Tee hee. Courtney is cute!

50 Wines

My criteria for choosing wine:
1) under $13
2) pretty label

Food and Wine has posted their "50 Wines You Can Always Trust" list. You can bet I'll be scouring Ballard Market for the two Sangiovese wines on there: Antinori - Santa Cristina, and Banfi - Sentine.

The 40 Show

The 40 Show at Tenforward Collective on Water Street in Vancouver is now open.

"Over 50 of today’s top cartoonists, animators, and pretty picture-makers all submitted works using 40 oz. malt liquor bottles as their canvas. Vancouver, in an attempt to clean up the streets for the impending 2010 Olympics has eliminated “the working man’s drink” from its stores, and the show aims to show that people care about their malt liquor"

Tender!

Not really the height of sophistication but I still had to post because I really like cute stuff. Paintings from Shinobu Matsui.

Ridiculous - love it.

Of COURSE there's a blog for "The Daily Puppy". And of course they have a rating system that is out of ten "biscuits". This is Koa, the goldendoodle. That's right - goldendoodle.

puppy or chicken?

...I don't know about you guys, but I still need my daily dose of silly. So here is video of a puppy sleeping. {via cuteoverload}

Not okay

Too far. {puppy purse}

Missed it!

Danget. I mean, I don't have ANYTHING going on, and I still forget to hit up "free cone day" at Ben & Jerry's. But seriously - how much preparation does free cone day really call for?

Wiki - immediate

Wikipedia is fascinating. The amount of information and edits that have already been made to the entry for the Virgina Tech shootings is pretty incredible.

Weekend batch

I've uploaded my very professional pics from the weekend: Moving and JBL4's Berfday.

DIY loft art...

John and Pann made their own canvases AND painted the art themselves. I think it looks really cool and straight out of a fancy shmancy home store. You guys wanna make some money of this idea??? I've got time.

Peeps Dioramas!

I like it when people have time to do elaborate peeps dioramas. But I can't hate because dioramas were pretty much my favorite art project EVER in school. {peep the peeps dioramas}

"Say Anything: I Gave Her My Heart, She Gave Me a Peep"

Traffic Laws

Wesa finds stuff that's funny all the time. I don't know how she does that.

HAHA! Funny idea.

AOTD: Matt Mikulla

HOTT. With two Ts. Creative photography from Mat Mikulla. His really affordable prints (around $40) look just like Tord, which is probably why I love them.

Totally hot long-exposure photographs from Kevin Cooley. I love creepy photos.

Stay-at-home-mom

....only I don't have any kids. Phew! On saturday I made these mini cupcakes. I think they turned out pretty good.

I also finally bought pots to class up the windowsill. I'm so the next martha.
