La Rosa

I use to hate my name. It didn't seem to "fit" me but now (no pun intended) I am growing in to it. Rose.

Anywho, my sister graduate from college yesterday! Which was really exciting. So I was up late last night partying with her and her friends. This morning, tired, I woke up and did some summer cleaning. Then got some friends together and headed to the Georgetown Carnival. Got some pizza, walked around a bit, took some great pictures but didn't see a bearded lady. Too bad!

ALSO! I did a NYLON Challenge which I will post tomorrow PLUS two new DIY's. I am on a roll....

Sweet summer night music:

Miss Rolling Rock.

Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, The Runways, Stevie Nicks, Etta James, Nina Simone, raspy voice, longing lyrics, moaning, heart felt, rock, slick, classy. That pretty sums up how I feel today and kind of how I dressed today too.

It's another gloomy day in Seattle. but I shake that off. I ended one big project and starting another one.

Here's the newest Scatterbrain Promo Video:

It's strange how my hair looks more purple/red on some days. Today it looks like the tips are on FIRE!!!

I am also feeling this.....

When the gloom comes.

It's raining. Proving that all good things don't last long, but hopefully things will change soon. Better weather should be around the corner....

Here is the newest movers & shakers video:

As for QOTG... I am slacking on things. My goal is to have a new DIY and a NYLON challenge up by the end of this month. I've been great feedback on the DIY's so I promise there will be more. SIDE NOTE: I was on the bus yesterday and someone recognized me. It was really strange! So Hi Sade, it was pleasure meeting you and thanks for reading my blog.
