Max Hat: Draft 1

My first attempt at the Max (Where the wild things are) Hat!
Looks pretty legit right?

The directions on instructables were actually really awesome/easy and I popped this bad boy out in about 45 minutes. I did an abbreviated version of it on plain white felt and without the lining or whiskers - I need to find the body suit first so I can match the fabric!

Emmys 2009: dressing on the side

looks i cared for:

january jones, very art deco

mary louise parker in this short purple cute thing (short is risky for an event like this, no?)

that girl from entourage in the tulley jeweled loveliness

i may be partial; this is my fav color...

love LOVE this one. so vintage-y romantic!

looks i did NOT care for:

• hayden panties-airy, that red thing made her look plumper than usual (i know she's tiny, but she did not look it)

• mila kunis. i dont know what happened... she looks hot, as in her face is hot, and i really like the top part of the dress, but maybe it's the length or the froofriness of the tulle - it gives her a terrible shape/silhouette.
  

Emmys 2009: go pushing daisies!

this makes me happy :)



(pardon the sound syncing issues, i couldnt find a better vid on youtube yet)

so happy she won!! i loved pushing daisies, so sad it's off air. kristin was definitely one of the highlights of the show, although i would say that as i favorite anyone on tv with broadway roots. i think that's why i like glee so much... (lea michelle a la spring awakening).

Because Kanye Bashing is So HOT Right Now...

9/20 UPDATE:
found this bad boy too, oh csi:

Ghostwalking, So Hot Right Now
