zigazig ha!

First of all I must address the title of this post- yes, I am listening to the Spice Girls. I’ve spent the last few days listening to really terrible music from my youth. It’s been AWESOME.

Speaking of awesome things- every year the local alternative paper, CityBeat holds a reader-voted Best Of Cincinnati contest for all kinds of things, food, music, nightlife, etc. Well, my shop Chicken Lays An Egg was voted #3 best new shop by readers and CityBeat staff voted us “Best Quirky Personality for a Vintage Resale Shop”!! I’m so flattered and honored! It means so much to win these, especially since certain members of my family don’t understand that my shop is like a real thing. And of course it’s always nice to be recognized for your work. :)

So things have been pretty great here, I just wish it would WARM UP already….. but I guess you can’t have everything. I guess I’ll just have to settle for being happy and wildly successful.

I love my Danys so much, I’d wear them every day if I could.

What a great weekend it was! The Eco Go-Go fashion show went really well, and there will be some amazing pictures soon! We had all been so busy sewing and getting ready for the show that once it was over I realized that I hadn’t thought a single moment passed the show. That to me meant that I was owed a very large drink, which is exactly what we did.

The big bummer of the weekend though was that my camera stopped turning on. *insert sad trombone here* All that really means is that I’ll be borrowing Maya’s camera more and saving furiously for a DSLR. Speaking of Maya’s camera, I borrowed it today to snap a few at the park. Today I decided to play around with some filters, so you’ll notice a lack of continuity in the coloring and such. Lemme know what you think!!


It's fun to have your boyfriend as your photographer!
