red, green and white scrunch socks

The winner of the Bohemian Bisoux giveaway is Katy of Dirty Hems, congratulations Katy! Try not to pee on this one O_o! Honorable mention to caitthegreat for actually recording her storytelling, Sage for "glittery poos", Emily_RubySlippers for her partying grandpop and Natasha Opfell for her heartwarming christmas tree tale! You all made it incredibly hard for me to pick and I appreciate so much your indulging me and playing along! I wish you all the merriest of holidays free from (too much) embarrassment and full of warm hearts.

Now onto kitten business. What can I say? They are the greatest! It's now been a week and I cannot imagine a life without them. Bobo (the top picture) is my little cuddly curious (computer loving) girl and Pippin is the most darling, purring, snuggling boy. On friday we had a little holiday party and were planning on keeping the kittens in the bedroom away from the shenanigans but they ended up hanging out on the bed greeting (and entertaining) guests like total pros almost the entire night! Spoiled little kittens received an abundance of toys (Pippin's favourite came from Emily, he carries it around the house growling) and cuddles throughout the event.

Introducing Pippin and Bobo!

We've spent the whole day in our living room bonding with our newly named new babies Pippin and Bobo! Pippin and Bobo came to us through the wonderful ladies of Bobbi and the Strays, a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue located in Queens. At the moment Landon is sprawled out across the sofa with one kitten snuggled up between his legs, the other in his armpit and all three of them sleeping (I can hear purring! BAHHHH YOU GUYS! DYING)!

Loads more pictures to come!

Only two more days to bid on this lot! I'm excited to get the next round going and have settled on this Wednesday (har har har) to put up the collection of wedding/white dresses and hats! (I've snuck a few preview shots of the collection on tumblr including a video that will likely make your eyes ache, for which I apologize, I did not mean for it to be so glitchy!)

In more important news, we dropped off our kitty adoption forms! Now we wait for our perfect kitten brothers to come to us. It's happening friends, it's finally happening! Those kitty toys that my mum and dad gave to us this christmas with the same "to my first grandchild" joke will no longer be sitting neglected next to scrabble and cards. No longer will we take longing strolls through the pet aisle, no more pretending that loud street cat outside our window is invisible home kitty, no more writing about kitten desire on blog! (what now to write of?)

an overzealous employer of parentheses

This cold is relentless and refuses to let me out of the house without promise of a dripping nose and growly throat (which is actually fine by me as generally I sound like a small child and the geriatric smoker is a welcome change). As a result I've spent a lot of time perusing the internet looking at blogs (though not commenting much as my last post is evidence of my present intellectual shortcomings) watching videos of dogs freaking out to the law and order theme (also watching law and order), taking digital tours of museums and being consistently outbid on ebay hat lots (much to my chagrin). Landon, however, has been productive and has been daily updating The Company of People (take a gander, lots of great sculpture and collage work).

Today we venture out, hanky in hand, to hand in adoption forms for our future fluffy housemate, wish us luck! This (important cat videos) is old news but just in case and because I wanted to leave you with something from this otherwise flat entry! Kittens!

achieving spontaneous expression

thank you for all your responses regarding my hair dilemma! it seems you were all overwhelmingly in favour of going back to natural ginger locks (though perhaps risky business at this time)! i thank you for picking the cheapest and (eventually) easiest hair-do for me!

those of you who have been reading this blog for awhile are probably familiar with landon's work with american apparel. a few months ago he collaborated with them on this pair of tights featuring his watercolour painting. keep your eyes peeled as they're set to release more of this style in the near future.

pardon my gloomy disposition in above photo, it was part blinding light on pale eyes and part meditating on moving and thanksgiving preparations (and perhaps a pinch of "model face"?). we've set our moving date for this tuesday! i'm eager to settle into our new abode and to welcome a new and furry friend into our family. yes, friends, the time has come - we are having a kitten. he will not be the one-eyed black persian that i had so pined for but he will be perfect nonetheless. he will sleep in our bed and jump on our feet and purr on our faces and at three in the morning when we are fed up with his shenanigans we will put him outside our door but then he will cry and we will admit defeat and let him back in where he will then continue to play with our feet and purr on our faces but we will be happy and fall asleep smiling. yes, these are the scenarios that i've been dreaming for months, no, years (it's been exactly five years since i've last had the pleasure of living with a furry (small, that is, i have landon after all) companion. i have serious kitten fever.

this blog is presently undergoing much needed err "renovations", after seeing landon's beautifully crafted new blog i've convinced him to work some magic on this old thing, exciting for me!
