even cowgirls get the blues.

going with the theme of the day, i had to put up some johnny cash. i wanted to put up jackson, but didn't. don't ask me why. i'm asking myself why right now. why tessa... why???!!!!!!!!

okay so this outfit doesn't make sense at all, kind of like me.

i did a feature with new york design shop on my studded duct tape rings. so go check it out and learn how to make them, they are super duper easy--and you can make them in every color. shit! i find myself typing with a twang. now, does that make sense?! oop... mexi-truck is here, cerveza's waiting... gotta dash!

note: i was wearing the rings in my last post, but took them off to do some washin' in the stream out back and forgot to put them back on.

i almost forgot, and how could i?! kim at ice age heat wave gave me the 'sunshine award'. i feel so honored as kim kicks some serious ass, is an amazing writer and i love her (despite being a little upset at her for her sudden move to berlin...aargh).  i am going to throw all rules out the window and give this to each and every one of you today. because it's a loving kind of day like that. how can you not give love, or feel love while listening to johnny cash?!! take it and run peeps! i expect to see it posted on all your blogs tomorrow. love.

thanks easter bunny! bok bok!

happy easter everyone!! i have to admit that i am not a holiday person. i think that happens a lot when you come from divorced families where, for the holidays, you have to be torn in two--and have a drama filled day. maybe not, but that was surely my situation. but, i am trying to be a bit happier during the holidays at least. i told my husband that i was going to wear these ears all weekend long and he didn't believe me, until i did. and i am telling you... just like the wig, everyone thinks i am in a play, or crazy or something. i made these cute little lace ears, copied from some designer that i don't feel like looking up right now. jean michel basquiat? no he died. anyway i think it has michel in the name somewhere. note: looked it up, it is maison michel (designer of all chanel hats and head pieces). sorry peeps, when i tell you i don't keep up with fashion i am not kidding. anyway, i thought the perfect time to sport them would be now. this is my--in mourning of the holidays with a touch of *trying, look. i am also wearing some spat type situations on my legs. i made these out of some old leather pants, and i wear them to add a little oomph to a boring outfit. i also saw them on lovemaegans blog, in a little different style. i also made this tee last nite in two seconds, and screwed up a chambray shirt, that i was trying to make into a work of art with lace insets. it is now a work of art that will sit on my form forever, not to be worn... it is completely fucked up.

thank you for sharing your easter stories with me. i love reading about what you are all doing. as for me... i will not be dyeing eggs, but i will be tie dyeing some tights. my puppy and i will be spending easter together, as the husband has to work, "what else is new" *she says with her usual passive aggressive tendencies*. "yes honey, it's fine... go work, i have TONS (not!) to do here". haha.

sending love to all of you, and this is your last chance to get your t-shirt diy pics to me. giveaway officially ends manana. e-mail me here.
