6 Best Moments On Guns At Home (formerly Keep Your Guns At Home for your record-keeping purposes) 2007 to Present

I've had this blog for kind of a long time now, and I have probably lost a lot of readers by never updating, or updating sporadically, or maybe by swearing, or not swearing, or not posting outfit photos or whatever. But in the process of losing blog-friends I think I've probably gained one or two so that's why I wanted to take a look back at my favourite posts of all time. Also because I'm feeling uninspired lately and I really like how my blog used to be; fun, dumb, and personal. Strap in guys...

6. Seth Rogen rocking out on a bicycle:

This was when Seth Rogen was kind of over saturated and people were either in the love-him or hate-him camp. It was also after he lost a bunch of weight and cut off his fro so I was naturally in the love-him camp because I love a good makeover story.

5. The time I ate an apple on webcam and took screenshots, aka, See-Food:

I don't know why I like this. It just always makes me laugh and want an apple. I promise it's not for vain reasons...I think.

4. Crabby Hat:

This is one of my favourite pictures ever found on the internet because it's absolutely wacky and so old. How did this lady get away with wearing this when film was still in black and white? My best guess is that she was an ambassador on the east coast for some sort of shellfish fetival and she was just trying to get into the spirit. Or she's Lady Gaga's grandma.

3. The Time Kelly and Jack Osbourne Bit My Style:

This bro and sis duo totally copied me. I was devastated and had my lawyers send them a cease and desist order. Jk.

2. Nancy Reagan vs. Jackie Kennedy: White House Decor Cagematch:

I'm actually still curious as to what everyone reading thinks about this. It was one of my favourite posts because Nancy's design sense totally spoke to me on a higher level of yellow 80's tacky-but-pretty steez.

1. The One, The Only: Bologna Baby:

I posted this in 2008 and I still think about Bologna Baby on the regz. I don't know who made her or photographed her or what she was intended or if anyone else even found her as fascinating and hilarious as I did. Does anybody like Bologna Baby like I do? Either way, she is probably the mascot of this blog in my mind. There was also a follow-up post where I found a few more processed-food babies in equally inexplicable photos. I don't know.

The Hat Chronicles

Yesterday, Sunday, Stu and I went downtown to shop. He needed to get a bag for the gym/school/multipurpose and I love to help so I tagged along. Soon enough, after devouring our falafel plates on Robson, I became an unwilling participant in the epic hat search of 2011. I was looking for a soft, pretty knit hat at the Bay but Stu insisted I try on every hat he picked out and that I needed "photographic evidence" of my journey. This is what ensued:




Does anybody out there also have a boyfriend who loves to embarrass you? Besides this adventure(my personal favourite was the disgusting blue bow hat), he has changed my facebook status to "I like poo" and logged on to my account so that he could sign me up for the Nickelback fanclub. Thanks Stu, I love you too :)

my shoes let me show you them VERSION 2.0

Remember these shoes? Well if you do the math, it has been over a year since I've had them and I've worn them a LOT. I've worn them so much that they were scuffed up and starting to look ratty and I was starting to not want to wear them anymore. Also they're slightly too big so I have to wear them with thick grandpa socks (which is ok on cold days!). So I decided to take matters into my own hands and PAINT THEMMMMMM!

I started off with the plan to mix up a grey that matched and just retouch them a little bit but when I ran out of black acrylic paint I had to think on my feet (PUNNNNN). The grey was definitely not dark enough yet so I decided to just run with it! I painted the front part and then the back heel part using the stitching as my guide. Then I got into detailing and did the trim! It was hella fun. TAKE A LOOK:

Before (sort of before...before they got all scuffed up):


During:


After:



So cute right? I plan on painting them different colours when this colour scuffs and to just keep painting them until they fall apart because I love these shoes!

Recently somebody found my blog by googling

"create your hats and guns and post them on myspace"

if you click you will see that with that query, my blog comes up first. Now let us hypothesize re: what this person was thinking...
