BC Footwear: Bad Comfort. Big Crap. Bitchy Columnist.

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Welcome the recent addition to my Shoes Shit List:
Absolutely adorbs, right? I thought so too upon their April purchase in Chicago. I used to wear BC Footwear over a decade ago when I worked for PacSun. And looking at their online catalog, they are still every bit as fashion-forward as I remember. Cute, flat, GREEN! [...]

PT: Cleveland’s Most Well-Endowed

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

I wake up to Cleveland’s largest penis every morning. {SFW, I promise}
I’m a lucky girl.
Side note: For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Wordpress is uploading my pictures in landscape. I’ve even tried renaming, resizing, saving with different extension, saving sideways — only to have it upload again, well, sideways. HALP!

Skate (b)log: Lead Jammer

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Did I tell you last week that during a wRECk practice bout that I had an 18-3 jam (or likewise obnoxiously awesome difference in score) without even being lead jammer?
No? But seriously. It was awesome because the OTHER jammer was, ahem, so “jammed” up by the line that she didn’t realize she was lead to [...]

Of note: I heart shoes.

Friday, June 25th, 2010

I wore those damn Bass sandals around downtown yesterday — walked from my apartment to the Farmers Market on the 9th Street Pier and back — and the soles of my freakin feet are on FIRE. Like, rub-rub-rubbbbbbbb friction burn fire.
GAW. I cannot win. Shoes, you kill me. Literally. Well, my feet anyway.
That said, here’s [...]

I know, you want another roller derby picture. Here ya go:

Scared, right?
I definitely need to work on my derby face.
But check out those strong-ass leg muscles. Oh yeah, I’ll be kickin’ your ass.

Skate (b)log

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Yeah, I know. Not much in the skating posts department the past couple weeks. Don’t worry, I’m still at it.
I’ve definitely outgrown the wRECk league (but still go every Wednesday), and I’m ready to GET EVEN BETTER with the ladies of the league who are, well, better than me. There is this certain plateau in [...]

I Buy Local. Do You?

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

The “I Buy NEO” campaign is something I can definitely promote.
It’s all that I practice on a regular basis and only wish more Clevelanders would adapt and make this a priority.
Even when traveling, I try my best to include locally-owned coffee shops, restaurants and bakeries in my itinerary.
Here’s what you need to do:
Accept the Buy [...]

What I wear to look hot. AKA: when it’s 90 degrees

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Check out this uber-cute black dress from China. I apparently only have luck finding the missing pieces of my wardrobe from online shops abroad. I mean, seriously, do you know how hard it was to find an ALL BLACK and ALL COTTON tank dress that didn’t cost three months of unemployment?

Plus, I am a SUCKER [...]

Austin and Promises

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Keeping with my City Breaks USA campaign for this year, I will be crossing another domestic city off my vacation list in November: Austin. (YAY!)
While it’s no SXSW (one year soon though, I PROMISE you, self!), we have friends to visit with a place to stay downtown, so budgeting and planning for this was way [...]

Office Rules: comfy clothes required!

Monday, June 14th, 2010

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have a limited wardrobe dedicated to “office” clothes since I now work almost exclusively from home. Yes, some days it is a struggle to change out of last night’s women’s pajamas and into, well another pair of womens pajamas but at the very least, my main [...]

We’re going to Boston! (but not until July)

Monday, June 14th, 2010

A foreign city on the east coast of the United States is on my Bucket List. Why? Because I’ve only been obsessing about a Boston city break since my sophomore year in high school, and I have yet to visit.
Like every aspiring journalist that I knew in the 90s, I had high hopes of [...]

So, does the dress code specifically say “No Slippers”?

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

I’ve often complained about uncomfortable shoes. My mission was to find a few pairs of flats or sandals to wear this summer, now that I’m a downtown dweller and frequently walk to where I need to be. Aside from a pair of Doc Marten sandals — in awesome condition, mind you — that were purchased [...]

PT: Pittsburgh

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Yes, yes, I missed last week’s requisite hand job, but in the wealthy words of said penis, “You can just suck it!”
I have been in-and-out (heh TWSS) of Pittsburgh a few times in the last three months, on an endless search for its local Penis Tuesday. You know, that whole PT World Tour thing. I [...]

I bet my weekend was more awesome!

Monday, June 7th, 2010

What did you do this weekend? I bet you didn’t break any Guiness World Records with 1,800 people in Pittsburgh!
Paddle at the Point {Gigapan pic}
Another Gigapan pic. I actually found myself in this one. Off on the right side, just above a small open spot of water.
As of event date, 1,800 kayaks and canoes [...]
