I had to move everything while it was sopping wet from the fire hoses. I saw Philip Glass in concert. I worked at the Toy Store every day. I met Gala Darling at SXSW. I had my gallery opening at Brown. I started Graduate School in San Marcos, Texas in June and commuted every day. In August, I travelled to Brazil to stay with my sweet heart for three weeks. I moved back into my co-op house in August. In the fall, I went to school full time, commuted four times per week, and worked at the toy store. I had a gallery opening in New Orleans. Ashley and I travelled to Ann Arbor for NASCO and gave a workshop presentation on vegan cooking and handed out our cookzine. I was busy every single day!<br /><br />Travel: San Francisco, Providence, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, New Orleans, Ann Arbor<br /><br /><strong>Themes of this year:<br /></strong> Pincurls (in multiples)<br />lots of berets<br />Pearl necklaces<br />Pearl earrings<br />Tweed (salt and pepper)<br />Graphic stripes<br />Knife necklace<br />real life dear<br />loads of lace<br />Pointy nude nails<br />Pink/Yellow/Gray<br />Rhinestones<br />Teal/Pink/White<br />Blythe Dolls<br />Knit Head-to-Toe<br />Lingerie as clothing (as ever)<br />Prints upon prints<br />1930s wrap dresses<br />Real Flower Headbands<br />Lace collars<br />Yellow/Black<br />Brown/Red/Creme<br />Matching my hair to my doll<br />Green Mermaid<br />Gold Shoes<br />Heart Cheek Tattoo<br />Cloche Hats<br />Louise Black accessories<br />Real life Deer<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/98033476@N00/sets/72157612028208378/show/" target="_self">Slide Show of all of my 2009 Daily Outfits</a> http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/411312.html daily outfit public 2 http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/411091.html Sun, 13 Dec 2009 22:43:55 GMT http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/411091.html <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/98033476@N00/4183031830/" title="December 13 by double-speak, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/4183031830_93228791bc.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="December 13" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/98033476@N00/4183032404/" title="December 13 by double-speak, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2495/4183032404_731b3dd5ab.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="December 13" /></a><br /><br />Blogged at: <a href="http://vintagevivant.com/2009/12/13/december-13-2009/">Vintage Vivant</a> http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/411091.html daily outfit public 0 http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/410772.html Fri, 11 Dec 2009 23:27:50 GMT http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/410772.html <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/98033476@N00/4177711630/" title="December 11 by double-speak, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2601/4177711630_a1e178ee94.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="December 11" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://vintagevivant.com/">New Blog post with outfit details!</a> http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/410772.html daily outfit public 6 http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/410401.html Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:13:10 GMT http://doublespeak.livejournal.com/410401.html <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/98033476@N00/4175987758/" title="December 10 by double-speak, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2541/4175987758_3d5f36f7ee.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="December 10" /></a><br /><p><br /><a href="http://vintagevivant.com/2009/12/11/december-10-2009/">New blog post!

Our house wanted to share a variety of real-life meals from our dinners so that you can experiment using them for your communal house or your next vegan potluck. Our house is a rainbow of experiences and cultures, which is why there is a wide variety of crowd-pleasing meals. <br /><p><br />ALL proceeds of the sale of this zine go directly back to stocking our vegan kitchen with blenders, knives, cutting boards, bulk bins, appliances and other items!
