Totally Rad Tuesday!

It seems like every Tuesday it's rainy and gross outside and I feel the need to share some power ballad or the like.

Adele.

Let us discuss this woman. She is beautiful. My roommate and I were discussing her last night. We adore the fact that she doesn't fit into the supermodel skinny mold. (I know by acknowledging this I could just be enforcing the idea of there actually being one...but lets be honest here. There is.) Anyway, I made a statement along the lines of- if she were to even try to fit that mold I'm afraid her voice would go with. Now, if you have ever heard her sing you know that would be a cryin' shame. She has a voice so reminiscent of an era of pencil skirts and curves for miles- think Mad Men. (Christina Hendricks is a topic for another day....possibly tomorrow.)

May I present to you the soulful and sultry sounds of ADELE.

Totally Rad Tuesday!

Good morning great people! 

Its...Tuesday and frankly kind of gross outside. 

This is the perfect song for it. It's strong and vulnerable; it makes me want to fall in love at first sight....or start a revolution. I think I would prefer the latter right now. Who's in?

Mumford and Sons-Awake My Soul

Self Portrait in Black.

My friend Leslie and I got a little carried away the other night. It was a ton of fun to get back to my camera though. I don't think I have EVER worn this much make up though. Eeeek

"Blessed are the cracked for they shall let in light..."

My backyard is full of shiny things that make me smile.

Totally Rad Tuesday!

So I saw the movie TRON the other day and quite honestly adored it.

I heard through the grapevine, or possibly a commercial on the Disney Channel that all of the music for the movie was done by Daft Punk. Correct me if I'm wrong. One thing I am not wrong about is their awesomeness! 

This is their music video for it. 

And this is a shameless plug for the movie. Go see it...its good and it offers an awesome excuse to go stare at Garrett Hedlund for two hours. 

Have a totally rad Tuesday!

Shiny and New!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I had one of the best new years in years (<<< that sounds funny when I read it back.) I spent the evening dressed up and drinking champagne with my two fantastic roommates. It turned into a mini photo shoot but lord knows I'm alright with that! 

 We all had matching glasses.

 My beautiful roommates! 

 And here begins my inability to take a normal photo. There are a few...but they are elusive.

 We made her do it. 

 This is Mr. Bojangles. He was her date for the night. 

Clearly he loves her.

 The food Mal slaved over all day, and by slaved I mean picked up from the nearest frozen food section.

 Yay New Year!

 She took a moment to remember years past...

What are your New Years resolutions? 

I always start with the best of intentions. 

Here's to trying!!
