human christmas tree

Oy vey, I’m so behind on my bloggin’! I am so very happy that the holidays are over though, that always makes things a little easier. Things have been crazy crazy busy at the shop though which is great- we had our best week ever this month!

Jacob and I were poking around our apartment building the other day when we realized that the vacant apartment on the first floor was unlocked. Of course we had to go check out what it looked like and I thought their beautiful claw foot tub might make a good prop. The shoot didn’t turn out quite how I’d hoped, but I thought you might enjoy it anyway!

So fresh and so clean!

I really can’t express how much I love this outfit, I’m so glad that I unearthed my bow ties! I’ve really been channeling Janelle Monae stylistically a lot lately.

blazin’ blazer

I cannot believe that I somehow failed to mention all the exciting things that Chicken Lays An Egg is going to be involved in! Among other things, we are participating in a real burlesque show this Saturday at our favorite bar, Mayday. If you live in or around Cincinnati, please come to the free Brews, Tattoos and Hair Do’s show! The Cin City Burlesque Troop will be doing all the dancing and all of the fabulous clothes (and pasties too) are from Chicken Lays An Egg!! Mayday will also be tapping several new specialty beers, and many of the local tattoo shops will be there with their portfolios answering questions. It will be a night you DO NOT want to miss! The Brews, Tattoos and Hair Do’s link takes you to the Facebook event page for all the info.

On the personal clothing end, I have to say that I’ve been kind of disappointed in the similarity of my outfits lately. I don’t feel like I’m being creative and different enough, which simply means I need to put forth some effort and amp it up! Before I do that though, you get one more similar-ish outfit. I just got this amazing blazer yesterday and today is kind of a nasty gray day, so I had to rock it! As much as I love the way blazers look on so many ladies I have a lot of trouble finding ones that fit me right. So obviously I freaked out when I tried this on and looked in the mirror. I bought it off a friend of mine who is built like supermodel (super tall and thin) so I really doubted it would look good. However this is why I always feel compelled to try on things that I know will never fit, because sometimes they do! Sorry for the odd blurriness on some of them, I still can’t quite figure out what’s going on with my camera. : (
