Things I Love Thursday

-I believe I mentioned this last time I did TILT, but I. LOVE. Super. Taranta.

There’s a higher res version at their site, in case, like me, you wanted to get a better look at the dancers’ dresses.

The whole album is just amazing. I don’t think there’s a single song on it that I dislike. I’ve been listening to it pretty much non stop since I bought it.

-the new saloon-y-steampunk-ish headband I just made for myself!

bad photos and HUGEEE. but all I have right now. I found the base headband at Sally’s and it’s nice because it’s got a “looser” fit – still stays on obviously, but the really tight headbands always give me terrible headaches. You can’t really tell but it’s an ostrich feather in the middle and then two smaller feathers on either side, and the headband is white with black netting overlaid on it. The button is a vintage one that was in the desk my 503 came in. It was a lot of fun to make – I might make more of these and put them in the Artfire shop.

-As you can tell, I died my hair. Not really a love but I do think it turned out as best a “natural” color could have – it’s sort of a dark plum-brown color. Looks black in photos but I swear it’s not really in real life. Trying to find another job, so unnatural colors are a no-no for right now. On that note, there was an ad in the paper for a tailoring/alterations place hiring – cross your fingers for me!

-This list of letters from kids to Obama is adorable!
