Jessica & Jason's traditional Jewish and performance wedding. You might remember this pair from their superhero invite we featured in a Monday Montage. We're back with the whole scoop! The offbeat bride: Jessica, Actress Her offbeat partner: Jason, Customer Support Tech by day, Writer by night Date and location of wedding: John James Audubon Bird Sanctuary, Audubon, PA — September 25, 2011 Our offbeat wedding at a glance: In some ways, our more traditional choices were offbeat to our friends and family. We're very serious about our religion, but we really didn't want the cookie-cutter Jewish wedding I had been to so often.
We started with our invite to let everyone know who we were right off the bat; while it had the traditional wording complete with Hebrew on the inside, the outside was a personalized design of my husband and me as superheroes running across the Chrysler Building. We also personalized a lot with our food. While I'm not a huge fan of flowers, I do love apples, so our table centerpieces were baskets of them!
Jason's close friend J. The Beauty of Different (Update with winner) | Good Mom / Bad Mom | MomHouston.com. By Jenny (Bloggess & mom of a 6 year old) If you’ve been reading me here or at my other blog you already know my friend Karen. She goes by Chookooloonks and she’s one of my best friends in the world. She rescues me from myself when I become my worst enemy and when I hate myself she slaps me to my senses. She sings me songs on her ukulele in her kitchen while her husband makes us tea and she forgives me when I make a mockery of her Inaguration party.
But she’s given me another gift. She makes me feel pretty. She was the photographer of The Red Dress and of my vaguely naked body painting experiment and a host of other photoshoots where I grudgingly agreed to be photographed for some project or another. Last year my friend Katherine asked if she could paint the opening paragraph of her book (Everyone is Beautiful) on my body while Karen and Laura photographed it.
It would have been nice if that perfect quote had been a turning point for me but it wasn’t. And I didn’t like it at all. Yearbooks. 'skine.art - Moleskine Art. Dr. Seuss does Star Wars. This is a little project that, as is often the case, started off as a throwaway doodle. With a little encouragement from my friend Tom Dougherty, (link on the right) I turned it into several drawings. What's fun is that the Star Wars universe really blends with the goofy, strangely-named world of Dr. Seuss pretty easily. I have a couple more of these up my sleeve which I hope I can get around to soon.
Update: Added a Bantha and some raiders!
