My Hair Stylist Moved Closer to Me! CLOSER!!

So most chicks lament when their hair stylist moves. It's always this big ordeal trying to find someone that can handle one's BANGIN MANE.

Liz and I were just gabbing about her new mane. I think it's ultra-cute, and wish I had a pic of it. We both get our hair done by Jonny K, and I was mentioning how happy I was about Jonny's move to my neck of the non-woods. Jonny and Stephanie Kelson just opened their rad space on Franklin Ave at the Mezzanine Salon. Caitlin from Moxie Hair Salon & Art Gallery moved to Mezzanine as well.

I'm lifting some pics of their new space from their MySpace so you can see how wikked cool the new location is.















The lower level and lounge area.












The loft where Jonny rokks out my mane.























Mezzanine had their grand opening on May 5, 2007 featuring music from Arctic Universe and dj James Leonardo with an art installation by artist Jaron Childs.

Jonny is a rokker and a hair stylist. I think we all know how I feel about rokkers.

















Being a rokker gives him a good sense of what I mean when I say, "I want hair that can be styled by a motorcycle ride." Or, in the case of the pic, a boat ride.

These are Just Two of My Favorite Things

Check out this video.

Sometimes you can combine two of your favorite things and get something amazing....like whiskey and ice, for instance.

Presenting two of my favorite things: Bettie Page and Q Lazzarus's "Goodbye Horses".

Yes, it's that creepy Buffalo Bill song. When I was a teenager, I read that the "horses" in this song could be symbols of the 5 senses in some Eastern philosophy. I always liked that interpretation...the singer is flying away from senses.

And my fondness for Bettie Page isn't a perverted thing, FYI. The fact that the cult legend never appeared in sexually explicit scenes is endearing to me. But what I truly chersih about Page is the enthusiasm and knack she had for pushing the limits in her career. She seemed without inhibitions at all, and approached her work with humor.

I can't decide if this combination is AMAZING, but I'll definitely say it captivated me. Creepy goodness.

Bashing Balzaks in Green Bay



So this past weekend, we played golf in the Annual Balzak Classic golf tournament at The Woods in Green Bay, WI. I won a prize for the ladies' longest drive, but I forgot to collect said prize. I'm more concerned with the title than the loot anyway. gerg's team took 2nd! HECK YES!

I couldn't find my camera when I was playing golf, so I concluded that I left it in the car. Later I discovered it WAS in my golf bag the whole time! *rrrrrrrr* After we found it, gerg dropped it, and it stopped working for awhile. Now it's all good.

So anyway, the whole tournament is basically a gigantic get wasted festival with shots and cocktails before, during, and after the outing. Needless to say, by the time everyone arrives at the night-time party, most have been drunk at least once already that day, and most have sunburned noses.

It was AWESOME jamming with my Wisco friends. atrain and sarah were both heavily intoxicated and showing me love, which was CRUCIAL, since they are, like, the best girl friends EVA!! I was also happy to party with my broham, MarkMartin. He is the RAD.

We heard some crucial music at the party:
09:15-10:00 rfbutter
10:00-10:30 The Active Ingredients
10:30-11:30 Hecubus
11:30-12:30 PrettyTony
12:30-01:30 Michael John

We danced and gabbed. People were dancin like fools. Serious fools. gerg and I cut a rug!! My sunglasses were a hit. I kept telling people I was wearing them to increase my optimism. Most of them just looked at me like, "HUH? *hiccup*"

SOME PRIZES:

Best moustache: Lepp.








Best air punching: Ese









Best shades: me









Best breakfast dates at Julie's Cafe: sarah, MarkMartin, velevetgentleman, gerg







Best offensive tank-style underwear shirt: joshherman (click on photo too see a larger version of the offensiveness)







This dude, Don, approached me about 12 times claiming that we made out in his bedroom when I was roomies with Beth VasOss. I was never roomies with Beth. So I kept saying stuff like, "Dude, whatever chubby-cheeked bitch you made out with wasn't me. I may not remember names, but I remember faces." And then he'd get all pouty because I didn't remember, and then he'd tell me how awesome I was, and I would agree with him that I was awesome, and tell him to buzz off. Then he'd ask if he could try on my glasses. And then 5 minutes later he'd come up and say, "I can't believe you don't remember! It was when you lived with Beth!" And I'd have to remind him, again, "Dude. Shut up. It wasn't me. You're about to end up on my shit list." I almost had gerg kick his ass, but then I remembered that I didn't really give a rip cuz he made me laugh.
