So I received the first awesome entry to my contest and finally got around to taking photos of some of the prizes. I think I'll just continue to update this entry with contestants as I receive them.... I'm going to TRY to keep my commentary to a minimum at this point. ( Although I'm super ecstatic with what I'm seeing so far!) =D

Here are some images of the lovely Sarah as the Mad Hatter!

Personal Update and the SF APE

My ankle is still fucked, thanks to my negligence and I'm really paying for it. I work for myself, so I have no paid vacations. I canceled many jobs over the past few weeks and I'm basically dipping into my savings which really bothers me and is pretty much feeding my growing depression along with having to really stay force myself to stay in bed this week. Oh and being that time of month really doesn't help. I feel like a mess. You really think a lot when your trapped at home and lately I've been thinking my brain has a mind of it's own. I haven't been focusing my thoughts and energy on anything too productive, which sucks. I can't even force myself to work on anything that needs to be done. At times I feel like a zombie, at other times I feel like a lunatic. The funk I'm in is terrible, but I think after this week, if I'm well enough to get back to my old business, I'll be fine.

I don't think I was giving myself a chance to heal. I'm not the type of person who can just take it easy and go about my day at a slower pace. It's all or nothing for me. I have a high tolerance for pain, so if I'm working or walking, I really don't feel how bad I'm beating myself up till I get home and look at how swollen and fucked my ankle is from all the stress I've put it through. It's actually hard for me to believe how badly I injured myself. Makes me feel like a real jackass. So I'm pretty much forcing myself to keep off the damn thing this whole week which is painful because I feel like a prisoner in my own home. It's for the better. My ankle is actually doing much better, but my brain-not so much.

Anyways, I'm not really doing that terribly. Life has it's ups and downs, and while my downs are pretty low, I have to admit life could be a lot worse. I'm blessed in many ways, so I'll just move on and write about the SF APE.
So my trip last weekend to SF was crazy like always. My sister and I have pretty much made it a tradition to kill two birds whenever we go to the San Francisco Alternative Press Expo. We work the APE by day, then party in seedy spots by night. This trip was no exception. Here's a brief summary of what happened, since I really don't feel like writing much lately.

Saturday-Arrived in the morning with 2 hours of sleep. Got dressed and headed to the APE. Our hotel was in a little Vietnamese area so we were able to get Lee's Sandwiches. I usually get the grilled pork sandwich which is always better than the BBQ pork in my opinion. The Lee's Sandwich in SF is much better than the one's I've gotten in the OC. They give you way more meat and it's the same price. After the APE, we got some Shabu Shabu and drank sake. When we were walking to the car I saw one the most phallic restaurant signs (yeah big surprise as we were in SF of all places) and decided we had to take some photos.



^oh yeah!

^She had the angle down perfect. Looks like she's also crapping and wearing a funny hat. Classic!
^popcorn face. (inside joke)
^and of course...Blaine and Antoine.

Seriously, how many penises do you see? Reminds me of the original cover art for The Little Mermaid. Pride...damn skippy.

Afterward we headed to a tranny club called Divas. Eh, definitely not the best looking trannies we've seen. A bunch of strange things happened, and things ended when Blaine almost got into a fight with some overweight Latina tranny in the bathroom. haha. End of that evening. Btw, I forgot my cane when I went to SF and this is when my ankle started getting really bad again. Before I hit the sack it was basically as swollen as it was when I first sprained it a few weeks ago. Fucking dumb of me.

Sunday. Went to the APE. I walked around and bought a bunch of cute random things including this hilarious thong with a penis drawn on it. (shit can't find the photo of it, but it's great) APE is really cool when it comes to finding unique art, tshirts, books etc. You won't find many people rocking what you nab at the APE which is nice.

^Our booth
^Another dick?!

^The habitual line stepper.

Afterward, we invited some of our new APE friends and fellow artists to come out with us for some sake and sushi.
^Don't mess with this gimp and her posse. Side note- Andrew (asian dude with the long hair) has some really cute pieces that I always buy when I go to the APE. You can check out some of his stuff at his site. Stitchmind.com . He also sells cute tshirts, but I didn't see them on his webpage. I told him he should get some of his stuff into HotTopic. I think kids would love his shit.
^SF has the weirdest window displays.

We headed to a liquor store, bought a bottle of rum, then went to our room and talked and laughed till it was time for me to head home.

That's all. xo

Breast Cancer Awareness...Join Wuzzy's Pink Giveaway Contest!

Breast cancer. It sucks, right. Well, just because it sucks, doesn't mean we should ignore it. That's why I think it's awesome that Wuzzy is throwing an awesome Pink Giveaway contest to help promote breast cancer awareness. She's making it really easy to join, so I hope all of you give it a try and spread the word!

All you have to do is relist a link that she's already provided or one that you've found on your own that helps promote breast cancer awareness. If you're too lazy to do that then, maybe you should shove your head in a microwave because it's apparent that you've given up on life...I'm totally joking.... but seriously folks, spread the word. It'll make you feel better about yourself. =)

The links she's provided are actually cool. Check out Wuzzy's contest to see her list. I'm going to add my own link since it hasn't been listed yet. Here it is... The Pink Ped Egg. $50,000 will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It makes your feet feel as smooth as eggs. -That should be there slogan because it's true and it sounds cool.
Hmmm, I actually added 2 links and I didn't even break a sweat. =)

I also did a little breast cancer awareness look, since I've always believed in extra credit.
Hope you all have a great weekend! =)
