Before I shaved my side, I did a lot of careful research, trying to find out how it would look worn in other ways aside from down. Examples are out there, but its a hard thing to find on purpose. So now that I’ve had my side shave for awhile, I decided to do a…

Liebsterfest.
As I mentioned previously, I have been nominated for a Liebster Award by Kelley from Another Novel Read. This is my first blog award ever, so I don’t even care if she nominated me mostly because we have similar taste in hair and a constitution that even Wowriot can’t kill. 🙂 Now, there is no…
SpyCam – People Zoo, Dallas Zoo
I couldn’t photograph anything close to me, but I could reach out and touch somebody with my lens.
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 in Guild Wars 2 (The Bastard Child of Two Unrelated Hobbies)
Occasionally, I like to combine two things that I like, whether they are usually done together or not. Today’s project: video games and street style. I’ve always been a screenshot taker; I still have a huge folder documenting my World of Warcraft life that I won’t delete. I’ve also always liked using unsophisticated cameras to…
The Classless Fashion Guide to Eye Patches
Having a swollen, watery eye can make you look like a rat plague victim… but, never fear, putting on an eye patch can quickly make you the coolest girl in the bar. Eye patches can relieve strain on compromised eyes, can keep people from avoiding you in case what you have is contagious, and…
What I Am (Not) – Blogger Personality Exercise
I have been shying away from “thoughtful” posts lately, and also from finally filling out my About page although I need to, but I don’t want you to think that I haven’t been thinking lately. Actually lately I’ve been thinking about why I blog and what I want this blog to be, and what kind…
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….
JCPenney Fangirlism and What I Bought on Clearance
I would just like to go on the record and say that I love the new JC Penney format. I’ve heard that it hasn’t been too well received and I’ve also heard people complain that they want the old “frumpy” JCP back… but personally, I’m a big fan of the new “boutique” style. Some of the…
Places Names and Clothes: To the Store, for Cupcake Supplies
I keep coming back to this style concept in my mind, “pin-up grunge”. It is supposed to, ideally, be a cross between fabrics Kurt Cobain would wear with shapes that Dita Von Teese would wear. I don’t think I’ve really pulled it off yet, but I have been trying to keep the idea of a…
What They Wear on a Cold Day in Dallas
I wanted to try out my new camera in different situations today, so I drove down into Dallas. I was hoping to catch some in congruent shots of snow on the familiar landmarks that are usually bathed in sun.. but most of the snow had already been cleared away from roads and walkways. Instead I got a…
And Then One Day I Shaved Part of my Head…
Yesterday I got the side of my head shaved. I felt like I’d gotten a little stale in my hair style choices, and color wasn’t giving me a rush anymore.. so I cut some off. I hate to be the kind of person who puts a lot of symbolic value into hair, but I…
Rika Confesses to Almost All of It
