This feather hair clip is super cute and all, but my main motivation for posting it is that today I tried on a $6.95 pink feather headdress at the Enchanted Forest gift shop and then decided not to buy it.
I have a feeling that a large portion of my time and income will now be devoted to seeking out and purchasing pink feathery hair accessories, desperately trying to fill the void left by the giftshop gag gift that got away.
P.S. Not sure if my friend Katelyn feels the same way about her neon headband shown above, but if so I might need to start scouting Etsy for reflective safety tape accessories to quell her sad yearning as well.

Pretty Dress Filler
Today I'm taking a road trip to the Enchanted Forest, which is sort of like Disneyland if Disneyland were approximately 50 times smaller, situated in a dense Oregon forest, and included a 25-foot play structure shaped like a witch head. Jealous yet?
I didn't want you to have to look at the bejeweled beef jerky panties while I was gone, though, so check out this pretty dress instead:
Have a great day, lovelies! I'll be back tomorrow!

Yes, that's really bedazzled beef jerky. Dreams do come true.And for only $139? I've gotta start a PayPal donation account, stat!
XOXO,

Blogback Mountain
A part of me wants to make an awesome skirt for my sink like this, but a bigger part of me knows that everytime I saw it I'd be like, "Dude, sink, where do you get off wearing cuter clothes than me?"
National Geographic Traveler is polling people about what makes their city great. My friend Whitney has some fabulous answers about DC that have me yearning to go back!
Have you guys tried the new "Rumspringa" cocktail? It's super tasty but be careful--after a few of 'em you may find it difficult to go back to the ol' ox and plow.
Princess Poochie is awesome because she took a simple trip to the drugstore and ended up decked out in drunken harlot makeup with a miniature deer on her head.
The Lovely Lisa has an article in Vancouver Fashion eZine! Congrats, girl!
OMG OMG some of my favorite Portland bloggers are having a big craft sale/ice cream party on July 25th. I can't wait to meet some cool ladies, buy some cool stuff, and eat some delish pie. See you there?
Speaking of local awesomeness and favorite Portland bloggers, check out Abby's gorgeous photos of her field trip to Hood River Lavender Farms.
OK, so I know every week I'm like, "I love Sal! She rocks!" but, you know, I just love Sal. She rocks!
I love Lady Smaggle too. God, I'm full of love this week!
What terms of endearment do you use with your partner? I'm fond of "Lovey," "Dude," "Missy," and "Heeeeeyyy yoooouuuu can I have a foot rub while I watch Primetime: Crime?"
Sarah has a great post about the downsides of being pleasant, even though last week a Scientologist made a graph to prove that she is very unpleasant. I don't know who to trust!
And finally, you should totally read Design Is Mine if you don't already. It's so pretty I have to stop myself from licking my screen multiple times daily.

Inadvertently Ask Daddy Likey!
That's right, it's time once again for Inadvertently Ask Daddy Likey!, in which I scour the thousands of Google search terms that have recently led people to my blog and respond to a handful of them in a helpful Q&A format. If you'd like a slightly less confusing explanation, click here, and if not, read on (as always--search terms--verbatim--in bold italics, and my responses below):
Where the fuck can I buy sally hansen airbrush makeup?
Heeeeyyyy now! I think the real question here is "why so angry?" And why are you taking it out on Google? I suggest you spend some time with a therapist exploring your childhood to figure out those answers (perhaps a search engine stole your favorite toy in kindergarten?), and after that you can focus on the airbrush makeup, which, by the way, is in stock at the Walgreens down the street from my house. I'd be happy to send you some.
banana boobs muffin top bubble butt tubes
That is one of the most upsetting strings of words I've ever encountered.
awesome mouse house
So, I called my little brother Bob at 10 o'clock last night and said, "Hey, Bob, can you make me a picture of an 'awesome mouse house'?" An hour later he sent me this:
can i feel on your chocha
Absolutely not. But since I'm an exceedingly nice person, I've composed a list of pick-up lines for you that are better than "can i feel on your chocha":
I believe so, yes.
conversation between apple and shoe
Ummm, if you insist...
custom funny pants
These are pretty funny.
how should a 40 year old man dentist dress?
Hmm...I would probably go with the classic green or blue scrubs, accented with some tasteful eyeglass frames and perhaps a necklace made of bloody human teeth.
badass boyfriend quiz
If you can answer "yes" to at least 3 of the following 5 questions, your boyfriend is probably a badass:
1. Does your boyfriend ride a motorcycle?
2. Does your boyfriend own a t-shirt that is bedazzled with the word "BADASS"?
3. When a condom falls out of your boyfriend's wallet in front of your evangelical minister father, does he say "oops," but in a sarcastic manner?
4. Has your boyfriend perfected the lean-against-a-wall-while-smoking-and-squinting-into-the-distance pose?
5. If your life were to be made into a movie, would your boyfriend be played by Shane West?
does Kroger sell sexual lubricant?
They surely do--I can vouch for that personally, because I once bought some for the least sexy reason ever.
gay porn cards for fathers day
This sounds like the best Father's Day ever.
i'm fasting and i'm hungry :(
Man, that's gotta suck. I've never gone more than two hours without eating, so I can't exactly relate, but, yeah, wow. BRB, I need some chocolate-covered almonds.
how spanx came to exist?
Oh child, you haven't heard the good news?
who are the shopbop models?
They are thin, pretty, and either very brave, or very foolish. Check out the saggy diaper dress pictured in the post below, and you decide.
p.s. Thanks to JessieB for reminding me that an installment of Inadvertently Ask Daddy Likey was long past due!

- Hey, nice boobs!
- I must have died and gone to heaven because there's an angel standing right in front of me!
- you so hot global warming is jealous of you

Oh child, you haven't heard the good news?
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth had no form. It was empty, covered with darkness and water. Then the Spirit of God hovered over the water, and God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good.
Then He divided the light from the darkness. God called the light “Spanx,” and the darkness he called “satin bridesmaid dress.” And God saw that Spanx was good. Very, very good.
