I have been trying to add and expand my "social network" networks, lol...been neglecting my "fashion social networks" and my blog! I do keep my daily journal and take a million pics a day sooo really its all getting edited soon.

a few things:

I Need some cool chicas who want to model clothes for me and come over and hang out and play...we can have a lot of fun and I have a lot of random kinds of photo shoots to do.

Also I need some peops who want to come over and help me with organizing and stuff for all the massive amounts of stuff I have to sell..THIS is why I dont have much up for sale lately...its really an undertaking. I can hook u up in return with anything you need so lets talk!

andddd.... its time to have a party! I dont want to call it a party...maybe a "mixer" that just sounds more fabulous, so who's in? hit me up on email or aim.

oooh yeah! my easiest to remember email works now! hahaha: angelina@thriftalina.com

I love html?

How did I get so geeky? I have no clue but I am so happy to find the community of female bloggers who are like me, never satisfied with their templates and want to change everything. Its so awesome to know that I can tweak this page to look like almost anything, its a lot of work but I tend to utilize my life-long Insomnia to get me motivated and then I end up staying up all night modifying one tiny little portion of this page--I am still trying to add a few features to make the page more fun. But I cant wait to add my other posts that I have in draft, so please be sure to check back to this space for new/old posts! hahha. The pic above is one of my favorites from when we used to live with our children (cats)-Can you Spot Johnny's Lil Bro? Sadly, we dont live with them anymore and NO, thats not where I am sitting now---but it does remind me that I need to take a pic of my NEW Office/Workroom Setup for you!
Thank you Hax Sisters!

So much ♥ to:

Buzzing around your interwebs...

:)
I love the all of you...

just something I made up quick with a free image to say thank you to all of my supportive friends and let you know just how busy I am lately! you guys are great, I am getting a lot of stuff ready. If anyone wants to help me please contact me, theres lots of freebies and fun to be had!
Hope everyone is having a happy spring so far, it's been mostly cold and wet and YES, SNOW for us here in upstate NY. Good thing I have plenty of tea and photo editing to do!
I just got some stuff out of storage that has been there for 5 years! Its pretty crazy but after getting it home I realized what a small portion I even had! There will be many more trips getting stuff out of storage and I'm documenting it all because its madness how many cool posters I have for sale, it pays to be a superfan as a kid-I cant wait to get that stuff up on ebay. I also grabbed my school art portfolios and wow, how funny to look back at some of the projects I did back then-Don't Worry I will share some with you!
+thriftalina's tip!: click the "free image" link above in my post to be taken to a great site full of high quality royalty FREE images! Excellent for blogging, posting and digital art-there is no spam on there and I know you will find some uses for it-Let me know how you use these images!

Major Fale!

Lolcats

I am such an internet dork, yes. I just noticed that during all of my ocd template and blog editing I accidentally deleted one of my posts! I am so frustrated now! It was my first real post with pics and everything so I do feel like I totally failed! WOH WOH!

So, this warrants me being all pissy with myself by eating junk food and watching movies today. Then I'll be on blogger asap to re-post and add more that I have been editing also.
I might watch the film Happiness, which I feel like I never got through for some reason or another. Or maybe Rachel Getting Married which I keep thinking is a comedy although Im not sure it is. But it will probably end up being Ong Bak 2 which both me and the hub really want to see. If you dont know what Ong Bak is, you should really see the first one and one called Tom Yum Goong both starring hot, Thai martial artist/director Tony Jaa. You dont have to know Thai to enjoy these movies and no, they really don't have anything to do with Quentin Tarantino. He just re-named them and brought them to the U.S. but I saw the originals first and thats is what I am recommending. These are mainly martial arts movies, and your guy will love them, so why do I?

Hmmm...I love horror movies and watching people get pwned, I love the most extreme films too, although this is a martial arts movie there is some seriously horrific scenes and Tony Jaa is seriously HOT in case I didn't mention it he kicks major ass. He does every single one of his own stunts and the choreography of the scenes is nothing short of amazing. If I must say it, fine: If you liked Kill Bill you will like these films. Also, let me know what the American versions are like...I still prefer watching them in Thai. Anyone seen any of these films, I'd love to know what you think and let me know some more good new dvds to find, what movies did you watch lately?

Viva Elisa!

Elisa Jimenez is probably in my top 5 favorite Project Runway Designers. If I was able to, I would have been flying down to Texas just to get some of her pieces (and visit my golden ladies!). They are really hard to find, and since yes they are all unique, couture and imbibed by her, it may just have warranted a cross-country trip If only I'd heard of it in advance. Was anyone lucky enough to have gone?
polymorphism & spitmarks...

"Well, you can get your fix this week as “Project Runway” Season 4 designer Elisa Jimenez(she’s the designer who spit on fabric as a blessing mark) returns to Austin for a one-night fashion event. Jimenez, a University of Texas graduate, will offer selections from her three lines - prices will range from $20 to $225 - at the Pop-up & Play boutique at Malverde (400 W. Second St. 499-0300) from 6 to 9 p.m. April 2."

How have I lived online so long without Kaboodle?

Sunny-Day Style by thriftalina

I have only been looking at the page for about 5 years now, I have hovered over the "create profile" link for just as long. I am glad I waited it out though because I know for a fact I would have not had enough time to waste (in a good way!). Kaboodle is like having a giant wishlist of everything you have ever looked at on the internet and wanted to buy.
It now has a social network feature as most sites do, but this one is great because it shows you people who also like the stuff that you do, or maybe even already have it then you can see their reviews.
The reviews and "recent purchases" parts are my faves so far *although there are a bunch of fun looking features that I didnt get to play around with yet*. I like these because one of the main reasons I started a blog was to do reviews.
So I just wanted to post this quick and say, go get on Kaboodle, click around,(add me as your friend!) get the "button" and go to any of your favorite sites and then you will see just how addictive it is. If you dont like it better than facebook, I'll be surprised.
*above, I've posted one of the new lists I created*
