It’s Holly

mr. luckie needed some new headshots. here are a couple outtakes.

Let’s just get right to it, shall we?

fresh potato chips + fresh onion rings: a fair staple. i highly recommend the bacon cheese sauce. the ranch, not so much. it tasted like they used miracle whip. narrsty.

oops. hee hee hee.

chocolate covered bacon. a little chewier than i thought it would be, but tasty nonetheless.

mexican funnel cake: a.k.a. “a flat churro”. i think this was one of the overall favorites of the day.

deep fried butter on churros: first of all, stop judging me. second of all, we didn’t finish it. that large log shaped item on the top of the pile of other deep fried pieces of dough is the deep fried butter. it looks so light and fluffy and unassuming. until you take a bite. the butter absorbs into the dough, so you don’t see it when you take a bite, but as you start chewing. sweet baby jesus, it’s like butter bursting in your mouth. we barely finished 1 between the four of us. if you’re curious, get it. but it wasn’t mind blowing or extra delicious by any means.

sweet potato corn dog: skip this. i don’t know if it was the oil they used to deep fry or what, but the sweet potatoes didn’t even taste like sweet potatoes, it just tasted like an oily sponge. boooo.

hash brown corn dog: i had high hopes for this, i really did, but skip it. same place as the sweet potato dog, same greazy ass oily spongy potato mess. boooooo.

steamed artichoke: with mayo and butter to dip! we felt like we had to get a vegetable in somewhere. here it is.

fresh grilled corn: ooh look, another vegetable! heather said this was delicious.

chicken wings: these were super tasty, and kind of surprised us all.

turkey legs: i kept seeing these EVERYWHERE, and we didn’t actually get one because we were so full. next time i’ll get one.

deep fried oreos: i think this was the surprise winner of the day. we all looked at each other like, why is this good? WHY IS THIS GOOD!??? it shouldn’t be good! but… it was good.

deep fried avocado: my personal favorite of the day. douse that shit in hot sauce and go awf.

soft pretzel: the final purchase of the day, and was quite tasty! i haven’t had a good soft pretzel in a long time.

so, there it is. all the food we ate. and we didn’t finish ONE THING. not one.

… but how awesome is my camera?

Another installation of IM Quotables, by yours truly and one Migs Vuitton –

Holly: this is completely random, but if anything ever happens to me and my picture needs to be published in some official capacity, like i’m lost and i’m on the news or i die and they need something for the obituary, i’m putting you in charge of choosing the picture
because my mom and my sister will choose some fucked up shit
like my current FB picture

Mikee: lmao
thats funny
i’ll make you a collage boo

Holly: oh perfect.

sometimes we have photo shoots for work. and sometimes, i take a few shots, too.

Not only is she gorgeous, she’s a ridiculously talented singer/songwriter, and I had the privilege of spending Sunday afternoon with her… taking her pictures, singing to The Gossip and watching Glee. That’s how we roll.

Migs Vuitton did a much better job with the pictures than I did, so why don’t you just go visit him real quick:

Thanks to everyone who came out last night. We had a blast. Mama was nice and tipsy. Birthday festivities continue this weekend… more pictures to come.

Hey, it’s my birthday!

You should come celebrate with me n’ stuff:

As for shopping ideas… I don’t need your presents, just your presence. But if you still want to get me something last minute… I’m a big fan of flowers. Peonies and daffodils in particular. I’m also a fan of gift cards. Any cards will do, any excuse to spend more money and still feel like I’m “saving”. Thanks.

Hope to see your beautiful faces tonight!

All things blik. I’m in dire need of apartment decor. I’ve been in my spot for 2 years, and this weekend was the first time I attempted to make it look livable (thanks to migs vuitton’s guidance). These cool, not-so-permanent blik things will help, too:

Ferwood Mirror + Sticker (in large, pls)

I tend to kill plants, so these would also be awesome options:

Citrus Tree

OIive Tree

And, because I’m a designer, and I’m obsessed with typefaces:

Veer Typography

I’m in very deep like with Vera Wang’s Spring Jewelry Collection.

Obviously, with $800+ pricetags, this is wishful thinking. But if you just happen to come into some money, and you just happen to be feeling generous, by all means, any of these will do:

Vera Wang Dragonfly Chain Necklace

Vera Wang Web Butterfly Necklace

Also, if you find a cheap knockoff, I’m down with that, too. Thanks.

You know what else you can get me for my birthday?

DVDs. And BluRays.

I just got a new TV, and I finally have a BlueRay/DVD player. So, get me movies. Get me YOUR FAVORITE movie. I just want to watch things on my beautiful TV in high definition. And every time I watch it, I’ll think of your beautiful face
