Johnny Cupcakes
I love Johnny Cupcakes. This guy has one of the best stories of how he became what he is today. It is my dream to meet this guy and do something similar to what he has done. He loves his fans so much that he has started a suit case tour to not only promote his brand, but to thank his fans and whoever supports him. Too bad his suite case tour isnt coming to Utah.
Its Happening Again
For some reason only pictures with words can describe what normally words describe in a blog post. Happy Spring Break.
Casual Hopelessness
The new Tomorrows Tulips music video is up and it has little kids looking like Kurt Cobain. So smart. On another note, its Spring Breaky, go find your Spring Break Lover. Thats all for now. lubs.
Removed Culture
Chad Hagen has some cool stuff to look at. These are some pictures from a series he calls "Historical Fragments". I suggest you go look at some of his other stuff.
New Half-tone
Over the weekend I had to make a mask and got nowhere, even ask Kelli, well, I got a half of an idea down, and this is what I came up with. But, I just defaulted to halftones because you can never fail with those. right?
Do you <3 Lindsay Lohan?
Do you think she looks better like a super-hero or a red head?
Would you party with her, but only if you had her super powers?
New Cobra Snake
Today I had some free pizza, twice. For lunch and for dinner. Prolly one of the better free food days I've had in a long time. Then I get home and find out that the Cobra Snake's line is about to launch with RVCA. Awez. So, therefore I have a reason to throw up this beauty of a picture of the Cobra Snake and all his glory with some other inspiring pictures of black/white.
Upgrade
I need to start being more drastic when it comes to my shirt/tie collection + collaboration. If anyone has anything they want to donate similar to shown above, let me knowz. Or if you just want to go buy pocket squares some day, I hear that ebay is always having a great sale.
Uh Ohhhz
What happens when my 2 favorite internet personalities get together? They have an interview, talk about twitter, and stuff that friends do? Check it out, Sarah Morrison aka @SarahMorrison and DJ Skeet Skeet, aka, Trevor McFedries aka @skeetonmytwitts talk real life problem solving solutions.
Winter Passing
Um, its Valentines day, so go pick up the new b-side from Taking Back Sunday and get over yourself?

Want to know what someone would look like while wearing your clothes? Make a hanger out of their face! Meanwhile, while I start making all these hangers with Annie/@anniesdiary on them, you go read how its done over here at: OutsaPop.com
Be Stupid.
DIESEL is genius. Being stupid is awesome and looks cool and from the looks of it, gets the babes.
Gross
I hate most wedding announcements. They are boring, fake, nothing elegant, not original and most likely use that font called, wait for it, Papyrus. Oh how this world can do with out. But, this post is about how something can have a million plus dollars spent on it, yet that gross creepy typeface will sneak in to ruin everything. PapyrusWatch.com is where you can report your findings. Kind of like the people of WalMart site, and how we must make fun of them, I as a person who cares what font some one uses will make fun of Papyrus. woof.
But, it gets better. Avatar, yes you've prolly seen it, but i haven't. But guess what, Papyrus made it into the movie. Double woof. Anyways here is a letter of thanks from Papyrus to Avatar/Mr. James Cameron.
Dear Mr. Cameron,
A letter such as this can hardly do justice to the overwhelming gratitude I’m hoping to express herein. Your most recent film, Avatar, has finally legitimized my work in a way I’ve only ever dreamed of.
Goodness knows I’ve worked hard the past 26 years to make a name for myself. And it’s felt great coming to the aid of New Age spa owners, suburban party planners, and young couples looking to save money by making their own wedding invitations. But only now, by appearing in your movie, have I been given mainstream, high-level recognition as a serious typeface. And for that, I thank you.
Imagine my delight so many months ago at seeing the trailers and posters for this, your much anticipated return to science fiction movie making. To see the title AVATAR (all caps!) typeset in yours truly. Well, I practically wept. And to be rendered in such an artificial luminescent way... finally, in the hands of a true visionary such as yourself, my potential to look totally badass had been realized.
Little did I know that that was only the tip of the iceberg (no Titanic reference intended!). After seeing the finished film (in Imax 3D of course), I can easily say it is the greatest movie ever made! To think, among your many bold choices as a filmmaker—soldiers who fly helicopters despite mastering interstellar travel; inexplicable floating mountains; and humans still petty enough to commit genocide in order to acquire precious minerals such as the very cleverly named unobtainium—that I would be one of them. Kudos to you for not spending a single cent of your massive budget on an expensive, attractive font for the subtitles, and opting to put me to the task instead.
Shockingly, as if you hadn’t already done enough for me, when the title card appeared at the end of the picture, there I was again! Chills, I tell you, chills. I hardly have words, even now, to describe my sheer admiration for this final master stroke: glowing, green letters filling every inch of the screen. A lesser director man might have settled at filling the screen left to right, but not you. You saw me, in my humble proportions, and said No, not big enough. Undoubtedly, a few mouse-clicks later, your most talented technician had me soaring to new cap-heights. Let me never come back down.
Thank you Mr. Cameron, thank you!
Yours in friendship and wanton servitude,
Letter from Pr*ttySh*ttydesign
kbye.
Don't use Papyrus and we can become/still be friends.
