The Mario Brothers!

We had a lot of fun with Halloween this year. Besides dressing up as a chicken at work on Friday, Neil and I greeted our trick-or-treaters this year as the Super Mario Brothers. Sadly, we seem to have overshot by a full generation as only the older kids knew what we were...the little ones just thought we were scary farmers with big gloves I think. But we had fun either way! I think we did pretty good, don't you?

Happy Halloween!



1 long sleeved t-shirt + 12 feather boas, some yellow tights + a lot of sewing = me as a chicken! Neil and I have a totally different couples costume in the works for tonight. Pics to come!

Time for some campaignin'

The latest political video from the geniuses at Jib Jab is out and, as we've come to expect from these folks, it's hysterical. Enjoy!




And if you've forgotten about some of their other gems, here they are!

Drag Bingo continued

Yes, I spent my Saturday night playing bingo with a bunch of drag queens. But it was all for a good cause! All proceeds go to benefit the Alliance of AIDS Services in the Carolinas and just at Saturday's event they raised over $5,000. I was in total shock at how many people come out in 100 degree heat to play bingo (outdoors!). The Raleigh Little Theater is a very cool venue that hosts the event and also has a beautiful Rose Garden which is often used for weddings. Unfortuantely, someone didn't check the Drag Bingo schedule because right as the show kicked off, a whole wedding party showed up to take photos and was then harrassed for like 40 minutes by all the drag queens. Yea, the groomsmen loved that! It was all in good fun of course and I have to say I felt for these...ladies? with their huge wigs and panty hose. I was dying in just a tank top and shorts, I can't imagine how they survived.


Me getting all set up with my bingo blotter!





I got there a little early and actually saw this guy driving in with this full face of makeup and like a polo shirt on. I would love to have seen the reactions he was getting while stopped at street lights, etc on his way to the show. Afterall, this is Raleigh, not Manhattan!

Inflatable Street Sculptures

What to do with all those plastic shopping bags you're still getting at the grocery store? A New York artist has the solution! Joshua Allen Harris has come up with some of the most creative street art I have ever seen - animals made out of shopping bags. He positions them over subway street grates and while they don't look like much just lying there, when the train goes by underneath the rush of air brings them alive. How cool are these?!?! This one is called "Air Bear"

This is too funny not to post...

...and reminded me of my great friend Christine. No not the 2 bit tramp part! Just the nuts part...remember the rehearsal dinner menu? Christine what was it? Like nut encrusted lobster or something? :)

Could not resist. Not long ago I had the unforgettable experience of waking up second, minutes after Dina had woken up. This was pretty much what I saw....no, not the monkey part, the eyes part....you guys are mean. (turn up the volume for the full effect).
