I’m keeping my costume a secret until the Saturday reveal. Why? Because I can. Plus it’s always better to surprise than disappoint. I can tell you I won’t be going as this:
Mac Nerds. Love em. ***Bonus Photo*** Iphone doggie costume:
That doggie costume is pretty clever eh?
I’m also too cool to be going as a Terrifying Pegasus that looks like he’s broken his snout one time too many in a bar fight with a leprechaun:
Although if I were going as a unicorn I’d try to steer clear of gluing a flesh toned rubber phallus to my forehead like this chick:
omg wtf
And my Mermaidigator Flying Dragon Queen complete with unflattering scaled belly top and the nerd wings outfit is at the dry cleaners…
So Ninjettes, you’ll just have to wait till Sunday (eh… anticipated sleeping in, ok Monday) when I’ll post pics. I’d love to see yours too if you’re dressing up this year!
As you may have noticed, I was Out & About in Blowing Rock, NC this past weekend on a little vaycay. The leaves had already peaked there but the Blue Ridge Parkway was still crowded with foliage-oglers and the streets of the little downtown were packed with curious shoppers checking out what’s new and fun for Christmas 2009.
One thing that caught my eye was a bubbling (literally) Christmas Tree covered in merman (and a few mermaid) ornaments. I grabbed a photo of the Merman Football Player Ornament for you:
Because what better way to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus better than by hanging a statuette of a dude with a rippling six-pack and sparkly fish tail on a white bubbling tree in your living room? After a little research I learned that these fishy ornaments are made by Diamonds of the Sea. Here are a few more of my faves:
-
- Merman Ornament: Surfer Dude
-
- Merman Ornament: Police man
-
- Merman Ornament: Soldier
-
- Merman Ornament: Construction Worker
-
- Merman Ornament: Golfer
-
- Merman Ornament: martini guy
You can also get mermaid ornament girlfriends for your mermen:
Mermaid Ornament: Cheerleader
Mermaid Ornament: Golfer Girl

I’m fairly obsessed with one day having a walk-in ladies dressing room in the classic sense, and so from now on I’m going to try to feature on fabulous closet/dressing room on here each week. To kick it off let’s check out Nancy Reagan’s gorgeous private parlour:
Chandelier: Check
Plenty of Natural Light: Check
Comfy places to lounge: Check
Vanity for makeup and perfume: Check
This is such a classic lady’s dressing parlour. I love the molding on the wall, the high ceilings, and the window treatments. I even like the orange wallpaper… but in the end there is just TOO MUCH orange and peach going on here for me personally. Considering the era, I am sure this was designed this way because peach was a flattering color for Nancy- it does reflect off the skin and make a girl glow. I think this idea could be modernized marvelously- starting with ripping the dust ruffle off that vanity and putting some sleeker, plusher seating and more substantial wooden furniture in the room. I’d also like to see some art on the walls. But all in all, I love imagining Nancy tie the bow on on her blouse in this femme sanctuary.
