Unless Daddy Likey tells me it's fashion

ModCloth calls this a "blog writer's dress".  They claim it provides $131 worth of ease and style for the active bloggess on the go.

Right.

Yeah, let's just call this what it is.  It's a house coat.



And what the hell is a texture message?

It's a Stampede! Link Roundup 4/18

This month I'm spending my student loan payment on Wendy Brandes' effulgent Spike inspired Vampire Diana ring.

Real vampires don't sparkle.

When I marry my next ex-husband, this is what I'm wearing.

Created by Chicago designer Christina Liedtke, more than 1,800 flowers were individually cut and sewn from 600 wrappers of the world's most perfect food - peanut M&Ms.

Tip o'the hat to @nahtzen.

Seriously, fandom?  Seriously.

Castiel is the #1 rising name for boys so far this year.

Of course it's the parents who start naming their kids Ruby and Azazel that you have to watch out for.

In the name of all that is good and holy, do NOT click on this link unless you have several hours to kill. You've been warned.

Apocalypstick Now pegged it ... yes, this is my pattern.

One week from RIGHT NOW, Zoomom and I will be in New Orleans at Jazz Fest.  Based on previous experience, the Fair Grounds will likely be one big mud bowl by then as well.

This year, I'm planning ahead, and will be shod accordingly.

Even dark lords of the Sith gotta eat.

Star Wars inspired chop sticks.
















So this is apparently a thing.  Tip o'the hat to @rd2020

HAGUE EYES!

New Glasses!

Pix of my new specs as requested by @daddylikeyblog.

There will be a third forthcoming on Monday. I didn't intend to get three new pairs of glasses. It just sort of happened. The plan was to just get one, but the next thing I know I'm trying on every frame in the store, looking for the right shape and a color that pops but that isn't too much or too dark, and one that doesn't have a prominent logo on it - which is kind of a fail on the red pair, but better than the ones I tried with ginormous DIORs stuck on them - and then I'm walking out of the shop in a daze wondering, "What the hell just happened?"



What happened is that I look fabulous.

If you're in DC, check out Optical Gallery on 18th NW.   They're independently owned with a Doctor of Optometry on sight.  Lots of selection on frames, and I've gotten excellent eye care from Dr. Mazia.

It's a Stampede! Link Roundup - 11/29

F@#! these rings are expensive, but Gods D@#! do I want them! Tip o'the hat to Daddy Likey.

New Orleans is getting the David Simon / Wire treatment.

I'll be wearing these when the Old Ones rise. Hail Cthulu!

OPRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Have you ever looked at a super hero and thought, "Yeah, he could be a little more beardy"? Artist Vanja Mrgan did.

There are many copies. And they're delicious.

Death comes shining a thousand bright colors

Closet Confidential - Daddy Likey!!

Yay! The fabulous and amazing Winona of Daddy Likey has a new book out - Closet Confidential: Style Secrets Learned the Hard Way.

I've got my copy, and I can guarantee that she will have you laughing out loud and looking better than you ever though possible. Winona shares tips, hints, and hard won fashion lessons in her inimitable easy breezy style.

And! AND! Page 101? The Chicago story? That's ME!! We were having drinks at Bar Pilar with dear Miss B. at the time. Trust me, she did not embellish my tale in any way for the book. I am honored that she chose to include it. Made the slog to the bus stop worth it.

ModCloth also has an interview with Winona for behind the scenes details on writing the book.

So what are you waiting for? Check out Closet Confidential! Scoot on over to Amazon or your nearest purveyor of the printed word and show Miss Winona some love.

Show us your Blog Spot - the Winona meme

Winona of Daddy Likey is starting a meme - Show Us Your Blog Spot!

The rules:

1. Once you are tagged, post a picture of where you blog. This might mean a picture of your cozy bed, or your office at work (you naughty employee, you!), or a boring ol' desk like me [Not me.  Winona]. Feel free to be creative, but be honest--if your desk is usually covered in Ritz crackers and love letters to Rahm Emanuel, then show us!

2. Feel free to tell us a little about your space, or explain certain items in more detail. Or not.

3. Link back to this post. 

4. Tag five other bloggers to show their blog spots.

5. If you are tagged and do not participate, you will become allergic to cabbage.

Alright - CandyBuffet, NoShowMo, Duchess Jane, Apocalypstick Now, and Miss B, you've all been tagged.  You don't want to become allergic to cabbage, now do you?? Hmm?  Sweetie?  Hmm?

Welcome Daddy Likey Readers!

A message from the Management:

Hey y'all.  

I've had lots of friends encourage me to start blogging, but somehow, it was Winona who tipped the scales.  So you can thank  - or blame her - for what you find here.

Either way, thanks for stopping by!
