1. Drive down to the Green Lights of Dallas; drive past them. Over Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and past the new trolley tracks, to Davis Street – 829. Find Spinster Records illuminated on the dark end of the street, past the bars and sidewalks of Bishop Arts. 2. Walk through the open door. 3. Wander…

Punk Princesses and Other Familiar Oddities of Asia; Disobey Princess Jasmine OOTD
A few days ago, Fashionably Geek’s Punk Princess tees post reminded me of this alt Princess Jasmine shirt I picked up in Japan. This one is probably pushing the envelope just a little harder than the designs they featured, what with the electrical tape on the nipples and all.. (Thom actually advised me not…
Women’s March in Dallas – Photos and Videos and What Does a March Do?
In the days since the march, I have heard people saying that marching doesn’t really do anything, or asking “What does marching actually do?” The march tells us we are not alone – other people have the same concerns and fears, and are frustrated that they haven’t been heard. When you know that you aren’t…
Three Pictures: The Windows of Planes
If I can access the window, I’m taking a photo out of the window. I don’t care, its still cool that we fly through the air in tin cans.
Sherlock Holmes Exhibit at Perot Museum, Dallas ( #PerotMuseum )
If I visit a museum, and I’m not allowed to take pictures of it, did I still visit a museum? I’ve been grappling with that question, and also with the question of whether it is morally wrong to sneakily take pictures anyway, for years. (Also, what is the likelihood of being caught?) In this particular…
Recipe: Icepocalypse Eggs (Eggs in the fireplace)
1. Wait for the one time per year when Dallas is immobilized by ice. 2. Light a fire, put all your food outside in the ice, and generally stabilize the situation. 3. Find some once used disposable cupcake pans in the cabinet, and coat the insides of the “pools” with butter. 4. Break an egg…
Five Shows in Five Days – Youth Lagoon, No Joy, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Hello Lover and The Joy Formidable with Io Echo
Last Thursday we began a concert binge that would last until the earliest hours of Tuesday morning. The look for the occasion was mostly unwashed hair and the occasional sunglasses at night; days were caffeine fueled. The switch that turned Thom from 30 to 31 was flipped while we were sitting outside of Anvil watching The Joy…
Spycam: St. Patty’s Greenville Ave. – Street Style Edition
I seem to be having some difficulty with my life style.* That’s not actually totally true, I reserve that quote for, well, circumstances other than these. But I have been having some trouble getting my blog posts up in a timely fashion. That seems to happen when I’ve actually got an abundance of things to…
St. Patty’s Day Preview, for some people I don’t know…
To the guy who called me out for taking pictures and got all his friends to be in the picture.. I told you I would post it. More pictures soon.
Kettle Art “For the Love of Kettle” in Deep Ellum
Tonight Kettle Art in Deep Ellum held “For the Love of Kettle”. Each piece was priced at $50, with the proceeds going to the gallery. (Next week “For the Love of the Artist” will be held on 2/16 – similar concept, but proceeds going to the artists.) Like most art events in Dallas, and especially…
Street Style from Gorilla vs. Bear II at Granada Theater, Dallas (TIMEWARP!)
I took these with the intent to post at the time, but I guess I wimped out and felt self conscious about posting my street style shots. As I look back at them now, I know they deserve to be posted. There might be a little out of focus-ness, but I think they still have journalistic value….
