Way back in October... there was a holiday.

My husband made, YES MADE, me a kick-shin Rogue (from the X-Men).

Yes, he went as Gambit.

We're in love. What can I say?

Oh most diligent of men, your sewing skills are both sexy and completely beyond my own capabilities, though I can sew on a mean button. Literally mean. Those thing come with fangs, I swear).

Look out Comic Con 2012!

Bolex 16mm

Last semester I took a cinematography class and learned how to film on a Bolex 16mm camera, as part of the requirements for the Screen Dance certification. I really enjoyed learning to film movies on actual film, as well as learning to edit linearly with razors and tape. I worked on the same station ET was edited on... or so the film department legend goes.

My film is due at the end of this month... so cross your fingers that I kick my butt into gear and get it finished up. I also have a couple rolls of film that I need to digitize and show off. I'll tie a bow around my finger.

I love/d the vintage look to the Bolex, don't you? Old cameras look so industrial, like they mean business (did someone say steam punk?). Here's a few of my favorite pics from the camera photo shoot that I help in my living room in the middle of the night. I love me some insomnia. 

 This last photo is not my favorite, but it really shows the details of the camera.
Pretty cool, hm?

If you liked it...

I love huge bizarre finger-wear. I'm talking about rings, people.

My ring finger is a tiny 5 and a quarter (tosses hair), so I have a hard time finding the right size rings for my delicate hands (double hair toss). So, you know, know that you have my measurements (whirlwind of hair tossing... Dashboard songs are wrote about this moment).

Just another one of my lists. This time, of ring pretties:

Who doesn't love, and I mean lovelove, vintage rings? via

I may be wrong about the ring...

but I am sure the pretty-darn-close-to-matching bracelet is by Iwona Ludy Design. 

I have been wear a very similar eyeball ring lately. Teenagers want to be me. Children fear me.

"A woman’s “memorial poesy ring” from 1592,

made of gold and rock crystal.

On the ring’s inner surface is inscribed,

“The cruel seas, remember, took him in November.” "

When I die, I am forcing Chris to make one of these for the entire family. I just want to keep everyone extremely sad. You know... because I'm extremely extremely  important.

Human Bone Wedding Rings 

Disgusting or beautiful?

I tried to convince husband this was the route we should take when talking wedding rings. These rings were made by harvesting bone cells from each of the couple's jawbones.

"Using bioglass, a special bioactive ceramic which mimics the structure of bone material, researchers are growing rings made out of the couples' bone." To read more, click here.
