r|break: obvious lack of photoshop(-ish) skills ...

... leads to hideous things.
hideous, i tell ya. just hideous.

of course, some say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
(note to self: leave well enough alone.
now it's "base"
- competing with sally kirkland, even!
ouchie. my retinas are burning.)

(does this mean that
billn has smooth skin?)

woof! not so much ...

not yet ... not quite ... but WTF?! ... totally!!! yes!

stupid human trick #37
sportin' a little sportDOGTM in fashionable orange

i think the photos speak for the moment last tuesday. a few tidbits and thoughts ...

• marathon plaza ... is a fabu place to sample sportDOGTM
  
• joy buzzer? not so much ... it's not at all like a handshake/joy buzzer - not at all. really. not at all. not. at. all.
  
• laughing matter? ... laughter resulted from the actual tickle feeling on setting 3 (palm of hand ... left hand - the one with which i do not write, typically), but this is not quite a laughing matter
  
• ouch! ... setting 7 probably stings quite a bit because 6 stung - through denim (photos not provided, but trust me - ouchy.)
  
• wow-za! ... setting 4 in between the thumb & forefinger on one's palm, that soft spot - the V - where one typically relies on for holding a tennis racquet, can provide quite the l'il tickle, particularly as the charge travels up the thumb. (tried this a couple of times on various settings. wow-za starts at 4.)
  
• little wow-za ... setting 4 on the heel of the palm - not so much
  

sure, it fits around one's neck. fortunately, my handler, a, likes me 'nuff not to hit that button from the little handheld remote. (oh! just in case orange is too loud, there also is a black collar.)

woof! tho' i don't have the pics yet ...

... woof! here are just a VERY FEW hints (woof, woof!) about today's happenings (for which i intend to post more after i get pics from my friend) -

• an orange collar
• some green grass
• fresh air
• wind in hair
  
• a handler
  

any ideas? woof! wanna guess? woof! woof! go ahead and guess. brainstorm. GUESS!

rethreads ...

... that i will re-donate:

• gold-colored pleather macrame belt with a huge belt hubcap plate saucer buckle
  
• gold lamé-ish (once had shoulder pads) 3/4-sleeve long sweater
  
• short denim skirt with a bit of a flounce-like flare
  
• purple earrings
• gold and copper colored fabric hair clip
• purple leg warmers

found in the closet that i will donate (or simply leave at a coffee shop, bookstore, restaurant coat hook, or sports event)

• black k.i.k.i.t. blazer with OBVIOUS shoulder pads
  

purchased to add authenticity to "the look"

• black cotton leggings
• knock-off (via russ kalvin) sebastian shaper hairspray (firm hold, of course)
• moonlit lilac powdered eye shadow (for which, in retrospect, i shoulda gone for purple (aka lilac cloud) dream mousse-shadow)
  

pulled from my closet to add authenticity to "the look"

• red leather pumps (3-inch heels)
  

to avoid being badoy (aka a fashion-mismatch), final look from head to toe: big hair from hairspray, eyeshadow, earrings, blazer, sweater, belt, skirt, leggings, heels. nixed the hairclip and legwarmers.

pics when i get 'em from joanne and new friends! ... oh yeah! this was all for an '80s old skool partay where i hung out saturday night (and not what i wore on a date).

and for halloween dress-up

r|break: more sorting ... and then i found photos taken in the 80s

... of friends sporting clothes with designer names* - a time in the 80s when it was fashionably acceptable to wear ... wait. um? acceptable?! i'm not sure if acceptable is accurate. i take that back. let's try this again. rewind .

... of friends who wore clothes with designer names* ... so that i could later blackmail them 20 years later. (you see ... i do have the full picture of their (l&f) heads - eyeballs and all.)

*[don't know if you can tell
which designer they are sporting.
maybe look REALLY, REALLY closely.]
