no thoughts 2 zine

photographer michael j. demeo started following me on twitter and i returned the favor…soon enough i was checking out his tumblr, flickr and site and came across photographer alyssa noches (who happens to be his gf) .   i commented on one of alyssa’s fotos and was thrilled when she asked for my address to send me some prints!  a couple weeks later i found out that they were releasing their current zine “no thoughts 2″ for FREE.  the zine is full of excellent shots.  the print quality is one of the best ones i’ve seen.  the price is right.    you should ask for it.

you should also check out their site we are now in space

get the most for your $$$: smashbox

smashbox cosmetics is awesome.  they offer FREE shipping & FREE deluxe samples ALL THE TIME!  but wait, on tuesdays & thursdays between 9AM-2PM (pacific standard time) they have a standing offer called “let’s do lunch” where they offer a FULL SIZE FREE GIFT!  it’s different every tuesday or thursday so don’t forget to check in every week.

the day i picked up my favorite lipgloss, the free gift was a blush in candid.  it’s such a pretty color, i’ll definitely be using it.  and i opted for the photofinish deluxe sample.  my total was $19.58 and i got .78 back from ebates.com!

make your own font.

heard about fontcapture.com from my lovely friend (& website host) erica and decided to give it a try. first you download the template, print it, spend a few minutes writing your letters, scan the page, upload the file and then it’s turned into a .ttf file (truetype font) in less than a minute. YES! that easy! then you take that file and install it into your fonts folder.

i had to write my page up a few times because i didn’t follow the line guides and it kept cutting off the tops of a few lowercase letters.

4th time is a charm and here’s my font!

since it took me 5 minutes total to do this, i’m offering my font for FREE! all you have to do is comment with your email address and i’ll email you back with a link to the file!

my guiltiest pleasure: reality shows

most people i know won’t admit to religiously watching reality shows, it’s like some dirty little secret that you don’t want anyone finding out. not me, i fucking love ‘em. there’s just something so intriguing about people that vie for love, money or airtime. why do i watch this shit? for the laughs and sometimes for the smokin’ hot chicks.

i give credit to the truly smart ones, those that are on tv to create their brand, to make themselves memorable so they either get their own show or get paid to make rounds on the club circuit or open the doors to be able to do whatever they want to do in the industry. milk it!

which brings me to my encounter with the lovely becky buckwild of flavor of love 2, i love money 2 and charm school fame. i’ve been following her on twitter and watched her romance with frank “the entertainer” maresca blossom and bomb… i was cheering for them because i wanted to see their own show. but i’m happier that she’s found someone better!

i don’t want to get into the specifics but i reached out to her and some direct messages later we got to meet up. pretty sweet deal if you ask me. so twitter, i thank you again! i thought becky & angelah were so awesome!!! they are both funny and full of life! they weren’t some conceited bitches lol

becky, angelah and i might be working on something in the future so if you are a fan, stay tuned!!!

the art & photos on this site are just dreamy..the unicorn diaries

instant gratification

twitter is insane. it reminds me of AOL 3.0 days when aol chatting was popular. most of the people i follow are longtime internet friends, porn stars, regular & reality show celebs… some celebs i’ve seen in a completely better light and some so-called celebs need to learn to shut the fuck up.

twitter has also proven to be a goldmine for me. it’s important to follow companies too. a few months back i won an obey x obama shirt and stickers from @thegiantpeach, got an autographed photo from porn star @enterbelladonna and just last week, i won $25 in vouchers from @ElPolloLocoInc ! and because friends RT (retweet) i got a coupon for a free candy bar from mars.

back to what i was saying about celebrities on twitter. the biggest celebrity FAIL is @officialTila : i used to think she annoyed just me with her ridiculousness but i kept seeing other people i follow talk shit about her too. she is so fucking full of herself. i get that she does stuff for charities but how many times do you have to pat yourself on the fucking back. bitch please. and while i could give a rat’s ass about @PerezHilton – she sure seems like she’s obsessed with him. every chance she gets to talk shit about him she’s on it, like some crazy hoodrat radar… when that shit popped off about him and will.i.am she was all over it, same with michael jackson. do us a favor and take a hiatus from twitter.

while following celebrities is sometimes awful and turns your brain into mush, there are some awesome times to be had like live free chats. i’ve watched dj muggs of cypress hill/soul assassins do a live set, ice-t talk about law & order svu, new stuff he’s been working on and show off his teen son who he affectionately calls lil’ iceberg AND just today, raekwon of the wu tang clan talked about having to push back only built for cuban links 2 to september 8th because of sample issues.

follow me? @textdrivebys

this shirt shits on wolf tees.

here’s some girl sites i’m loving lately.

jazzi mcg puts it down.

comes with an NC-17 rating: the boobs.

icing: crowning your beautiful life.

pornstar marie luv keeps it real.

i remember frosty lips being the shit YEARS ago, maybe she’ll come back… and oh hey, miss mickey where ya at?

what? not ad-free!

notice the playboy ad up there? that’s right, playboy gave your homie here a chance! i signed up for linkshare and applied for certain shops that would appeal to you readers. vans, karmaloop, drugstore & frederick’s and guess what? i got rejected!!! can you believe that shit? lol the most popular reason given was: inappropriate material on site! HAHA like i said, i handpicked those companies because i thought they would appeal to their audiences as well. the stunner was karmaloop. oh well, i ain’t changing my site for ANYONE!

i promise i won’t bomb the site with crazy ads! just trying to find an alternative to put some extra chips into my pocket!

THANKS to ericaduh.com for hosting my site!!!!!!!!!
