Happy Halloween!!!

Love your favorite hot slice

Costume deetz: pizza skirt made by my bew Emi, necklace made from miniature dollhouse props found on eBay, pizza bow headband made from two fake pizza slices but I’m pretty sure these are dog toys (from eBay also) felt pizza slice made by me using this HILARIOUS pattern Emi made me the night before I left for SF since I wanted MORE pizza on the top last minute (see below), makeshift DiGiornos clutch made last minute by the origami hands of my bew Melinda! I originally wanted to make a messenger bag type purse out of a regular pizza box but this ended up being perfect for the night!

Here’s a close up of the accessories!

And here is the DIAGRAM Emi made me. This is one of the many reasons why I love her. Whenever I dream something up, she helps makes it into reality…and even makes me a gawtdamn diagram to take to the craft store. KILLIN ME BEW

Did you dress up? Show me a pic!!

Continuing with my new tradition, here are my Instagrams from September! This pic was from the Gradient Nail Tutorial I did for Rookie, and in case you missed it, here’s the post I did on Mean Girl Movie Style.

♥ Both me and my buttocks miss moonbathing naked under the Big Sur sky…at least I can gaze at these photos and look forward to my return. ♥

♥ I still have my unicorn sheets from when I was 8! ♥

♥ On the way to Big Sur, we stopped for lunch at my spiritual place, Madonna Inn; stocking up (~NPI – NO PUN INTENDED~) for fall with tights from We Love Colors! ♥

I will consider this my accidental art piece: Deep Thoughts And A Big Banana. Also a good name for a p-no somewhere, I’m sure.

♥ Ain’t nuthing like a fresh cup of Hunkules to jumpstart my morning; Can you believe I got these John Staymoist stickers made in 2005? I truly am a ride or die chick for you Stamos!; I’m pretty sure poliopoliopolio is my brother from anotha mutha. He sent me this New Mutants pin!; when I stocked up on candy to review for Rookie I saw this CORN SODA. You guys can all buy me a bottle for my birthday next week thnx ♥

♥ Trader Joe’s is on some serious TOSCANO CHEESE GAME right now. This one is dipped in syrah. I thought the typical nailsdid pose would be great to show off my block o’ heaven as well. ♥

♥ Mr. Shankly’s cabeza looks crazy cartoon-y huge next to Mason’s!; my friends had a balls-themed BBQ. Cochinos. Super delishis though.; the Tom Kha soup at Nakkara is my fave. Especially because it comes in this urinal-looking thang.; Levon and I playing with Leyla’s iPad! It was my first time touching one.. OMG. ♥

On that note, I would also like to say RIP to Steve Jobs. I have a special thanks for the man that invented the iPhone WHICH also helped rid me of the weird driving anxiety I had for YEARS. Sorry 2 B so dramatic sounding my boos, but it’s true! Once I got an iPhone and used that Google Maps GPS app…LAWD MY LIFE DUN CHANGED!! No sense of direction + constantly driving on the freeways of southern Cal = panic attacks for Rie Rie. I’ll never forget that Steve! And on THAT note, I ordered the iPhone 4s today! You have no idea how stoked I am. I have had this dinosaur 3G for more than three years! She and I have been through so much…but I like my phones like I like my cars like I like my women…FAST. Cannot waaaaaaiiiiit.

♥ Clockwise from top left: my favorite show right now, WILFRED, chorizo crepe at Local, made a mini babycake hat, hot cup of Staymoist ♥

Since I LOVES Instagrammin’ so much, I decided to pick my faves from each month and post ‘em up on here for everyone to lurk…these are from August!

My cassingles collection!

♥ My winning prize and new boyfriends at the fair, sangwiches from INK SACK , I wanted to live in this pink gingerbread house at the fair, new bangs comb from Tokyo ♥

Virgo laptop versus Libra blogger laptop

Dear Scientists of the World,

If you can make a pill small enough to prevent people from getting pregs, why can’t you dudez make multivitamins that small too?

Your friend,

Marie

♥ Bjork tee from Vespertine tour//vintage skirt from Fairfax flea (kinda obsessed with it lately)//shoes from Amiclub.com/SLEEPING LOHAN bag printed by Vistaprint.com ♥

FINALLY….

HERE SHE IS

You voted and I chose….THIS BEAUT to be my new bag. Let’s take a look at A Day In The Life Of Sleeping Lohan…

Taking a rest in the men’s bathroom at Starbucks

Enjoying a nice vegan lunch…

Getting waxed….

As you can see it makes for many interesting photo opportunities. This joke may never get old to me you guys, just a warning. I feel like we all LOVE this photo because we have ALL been like this at some point (sleeping/with mouth open/in a car/ hopefully in the backseat or passenger side) so obviously we relate to her in this very HUMAN moment.

Also, let me just say that as much of a LAWLLER this bag is, it’s also surprisingly good quality! STURDY AND STRONG JUST LIKE LOHAN’S SPIRIT! And it looks like they are doing the FREE TOTES AGAIN! I think it’s today only so you best get up on dat sistas and brosas! Oh great,  NOW which one should I get?? Someone should probably get the pic of her infamous manicure on a bag next so we can be twinzies.

AHH YOU GUYS I AM SO SUNBURNED! And I have crazy tan lines on my cleav! That’s what I get for wanting to be DARQUE AS NIGHT all the time!! Hope you guys had a good fourth too!

Vista Print is giving away free custom print tote bags today. You can pay a little bit more to upload your own design. CLEARLY I WILL BE TAKING ADVANTAGE. I have tons of these kinds of totes since they are great for grocery shopping, thrifting and going to the flea market, carrying your lunch, etc. So which one of these iconic photos will I slap on my new gym tote??? Let us peruse the designs I came up with so far, shall we…?

Sleeping beauty?

Daddy and baby?

Mariah’s best role?

Tears of a clown?

No words. I just love this photo. Might be better for a heart-shaped locket though.

A photo of the tip jar I’d use if I had my own cafe?

This is just the first batch. I’m going to be doing this all day I’m sure. Maybe you will see the winning design in a future post. Sidebar: I kind of want to do Agent Lover totes. Should I ? Is that stu? It would’t be a corny all over LV print that says AL or anything, I swears. Hmmm…I shall come up with something cute and marinate on it.

Will you get a tote? What will you put on it?

Don’t worry, your ojos are not playing tricks on you. What you are seeing is not a mirage. Your favorite from the West Coast (DIS A-HOLE RIGHT HERE) and your favorite from the East Coast (WHITE LIGHTNING HERSELF!) finally met BANGS2BANGS!!!

This work of art you see here is a magical gif complete with supernatural floating trinkets made from a pic of Elizabeth and I shopping on Melrose. “We’re going to Melrose” (Amber from Clueless voice.) I think I’m going to be making more of these gifs so let me know if you have any requests. (Mariah, Staymoist, corn, etc. and etc.)

GREETINGS EVERYBUDDY. This is just a simple outfit post from last weekend when I met up with Aurora at the Fairfax flea! I wore my favorite oldie but goodie “by the pool dress” with a bolero jacket that belonged to my mom in the 70′s and my lemon Pollys. I need more things in this mint green color…it’s my FAVE. Belt is from I Heart Ronson and Cloven Hoof beetle wing earrings.

Aurora is wearing a thrifted Kimchi and Blue dress, boots from Buffalo Exchange and leftover flowers from her wedding in her hair!

WHO WANTS TO JOIN OUR 2 PERSON MARIAH CAREY SUPERFAN CLUB?

I saw this jacket from a distance and had to lurk it closer to puke. I can’t deal with anything made out of someone’s old jeans, YOU GUYS. I hate when people make tote bags and shit out of someone’s dirty old denim! WHYYYYY. NASTY. ::puh puh puh:: (that’s me spitting out of disgust)

My jaw dropped when I found out Aurora also painted this picture of YOURS TRULY! LIPS HAT AND EVERYTHING!! Thank you m’lady! Check out her blog and her work here. I love all the ladies she does!

P.S. SIDEBAR in case any of you missed Gala’s series on Body Pressure in Blogging, she asked bloggers and readers to contribute their thoughts and my two pesos can be read here! If you want to discuss more of that subject with me, feel free to in the comments! Perhaps I will write more about it later?

The lovely Petra sent me these amazing pink and black tie-dye tights from her Pebelle line. Since interviewing Petra last year, we’ve kept in touch and she’s even started a blog for Pebelle! Take a look at it here. I love these tights! They take my tiger dress to a whole new level. I wore this ‘lil number when I met up with my sister from another mister, Mary Van Note, while she was in town last month performing some shows.

Working the boulevard with Mary and Emi. WACHOW

HOW CUTE DOES MARY LOOK IN MY HEART TART HAT?!

I can’t wait for Mary and Ben to come back to LA!! Serenading you guys Janet Jackson-style right now.

One of the shows that Mary performed at while in LA was called Mortified, where people read embarrassing excerpts from their old diaries.  At the one we went to, one of the dudes read letters that he wrote to none other than Mr. Belvedere! The kid who played Wesley was also a special guest! My bro and I were huge fans of Mr. Bellybutton so that was a REAL TREAT. That above is Mary’s diary, which she read from after unlocking with a special key. Naturally the whole thing got me thinking about the old Dear Diary feature I had on here when I first started this blog. I have been meaning to start that up again, although my junior high-era Pochacco diary might be too embarrassing to share on here since it’s all about how boy crazy I was. With my luck, I would post an excerpt from it which is basically a logbook of obsessively-detailed crushes and the one boy who kicked my legs under my desk because “they were hairier than his” will most likely find it and send me a penus pic or something. WHICH, btw, is suuuch a 2007 move, Anthony Weiner (YOU AMATEUR)

It also got me thinking about one of my favorite games I like to play called “What Were Marie and Emi Doing At This Age?” where we basically compare the vast differences in our childhoods (i.e., me being raised Catholic versus she being raised atheist; me catching butterflies and playing Skip-It while she was hobknobbin’ with CHRISTIAN SLATER and chasing DURAN DURAN AROUND TOWN! TWEEN JEALOUSY STILL EXISTS FU EMI). This game also includes the comparison of our Sanrio diaries. When we first read some of the entries side by side, we were dead on the floor because it’s like “Yep, we are still pretty much the same as we were back then.”

My diary is the blue Hello Kitty one. (GOODY TWO SHOEZ) and hers is the Keroppi one below it.
