Tumblr Tuesday: 8-Bit Monsters and 3-D Type

Is there anything appropriate in 90-degree weather than a tropical print bikini on a beach?; These little 8-bit monsters seem to be lurking everywhere; Creating 3-D art for a 2-D album cover works surprisingly well; Makeup is usually used to hide red eyes, but I kinda dig the idea of smoky red eyeshadow;  Huge 3-D type?

I’ve been known to do my fair share of shopping on ye olde internets, but I understand the importance of shopping local, too. On my radar right now: The Brush Factory My favorite summer tee The Brush Factory redesigned their website recently, making it easy to shop local and online AT THE SAME TIME. Brilliant. I’ve been a fan for a while (even managed to convince FriendBoy to take advantage of their tailoring services), and am still trying

Tumblr Tuesday: God’s Eyes and Ombre Lips

Chevrons are like my beloved classic stripes only BETTER; A pink tuxedo jacket is the perfect blend of masculine and feminine; It makes me happy (and weird) to imagine my internal organs getting along so well; I was a master of making colorful god’s eyes at day camp; Ombre lipstick seems like a lovely way to wear all those shades that have been relegated to the back of the makeup drawer; I have fond memories
