Weekend Recap...

That was the shortest and longest weekend all at the same time. I was working up until the last minute making sure I had everything to make the DollFace booth look awesome. To no surprise my dresses didn’t show up (and as today won’t be here until Tuesday…BOO) but I got creative and threw together something (that I actually ended up really liking).


The funny thing was I totally had that horrible prom scene occur. This girl walks in the theater and has this huge coat on, but I notice she is kind of giving me the side eye (I am like um…. I don’t know you so what’s the deal) then I walk into the lobby and realize what the side eye was all about, she was taking pictures with some people and her coat was off and guess what I see…the same damn dress I am wearing. I walked by her we looked at each other (thinking the same thing…oh no this Bitch didn’t) and I guess she got the clue that I looked better in the dress, because I never saw her again…LOL!!!

We sold a ton of stuff, meet some awesome people; I had some weird drunk lady actually grab my boob (yes, you did read that right) and some people shop lifted from me. So aside from my sexual assault and theft, the night was Awesome. I met some new vendors, got to see half naked girls dancing and pulled off another event!!

We didn’t get home from Dallas until 3am, but it was worth it. We actually got invited to do some other events, but that’s going to be something I have to think about!

Surprisingly we didn’t do the movies, we were so drained I just wanted to lay in bed and watch movies. I caught up with one of my Netflix receivables “The United States of Tara”. The show is actually really funny, it was created by Diablo Cody who wrote "Juno" and "Jennifer’s Body"….and it has the sexiest man ever in it John Corbett ( aka..Aiden from Sex in the City) I think tonight we might go and see Dear John, but right now sleep is totally calling my name.


I hope everyone got to enjoy the super bowl!!

Weekend Update....

Okay, I know I am few days behind, but better late than never! The event in Dallas was so much fun. The BF and I were dressed to impress, and I tried to be a big girl and were heels the whole night, that was a painful lesson!!

There were a lot of people in attendance and tons of activities were going on throughout the day. There were also some really cool vendors that had booths set up, so of course I was compelled to shop. I bought the coolest Hot Pink feather headband from Tara to the T, and the girls selling were dressed up the cutest vintage stewardess outfits.

Another company that caught my eye was Jupiter Moon 3, which specializes, in custom corsets, which made me realize…I need one. I love that look of small waists and big boobs!!!


Also, to my surprise they did a huge Burlesque show toward the end of the night. There were a variety of performers in all shapes and sizes. Also, to my excitement there was a black burlesque performer name Honey Coco Bordeauxx, who did a really good show!! Something rather funny we made note of was the fact that 95% of the dancers who attended the event were from Austin, how random!!


The rest of the weekend was nice and relaxing (except for those crazy Dallas drivers). I did get to go to Sprinkles Cupcakes and I have to say **YUCK**. I am sorry people; those cupcakes were not all that great. There are a handful of places here in Austin that are way better. I have to give a show-out to my favorite hometown place “ Polkadots Cupcake Factory”. Omg….if you ever come to Austin you have to visit this place, it’s the best ever. Plus the owners are beyond sweet!

When I stop being lazy I plan to post some pictures I took at the event! I posted some of the links to a few of the vendors and my favorite dancer!

PS....Something fun my sister found a generator to make your own Burlesque name:

Bored at Work!!!

Today has been such a slooooooooooooow day at work. I am sitting here thinking about all the things I need to be getting ready for Dallas on Saturday for the Pin-Up event. I am super stoked about going and have been thinking about other places I want to check out while I am in town. The first thing on my list is to go Sprinkles Cupcakes. I've heard of of this place, but never had the chance to eat at one. Austin has some kick-ass cupcake bakeries, but Sprinkles is supposed to be the original .

I am hoping to come back from Dallas safe and sound and in one piece, but they have some of the worse drivers EVER!!! Its the only place, I've witnessed a person driving, reading a book, putting on makeup, eating and giving birth all at the same time..(okay maybe the last one is a fib...but you get my point)


Plus the BF has Road Rage, so this should be a super exciting trip!! Well I hope everyone has a good weekend!

My Kind of Night!!

So, after taking a 2 day "mental health" break from work, (I just told everyone I had a 48 hour case of swine flu)I came across something to brighten my spirits. There having a huge Pin-up Event in Dallas in two weeks. Guess who is going???




Also, just watched this show on MTV $5.00 Cover, actually L-O-V-E-S it. Its by the same guy who did Hustle and Flow, which was another favorite of mine. (Because you know its hard out here for a PIMP) I think it would be cool if they did something like this in Austin. I checked out a few of the artist from the show, and they are really good.
