I Am The Worst One Yet...

I am delicious sweat. Dear Babes in Toyland, you still rock.

I've been forgetting all about blogging due to the amazing weather that New York has been having. That and some bumps in the road called life. Last I checked, there was my barf dae in April promptly followed by a kitty crisis. One thing at a time...

My barf dae was amazing! Hair done, nails done, alllllllll that. My hunty, Erica, threw me quite the party at Kitty @ Wreck Room. She made a  giant cat pinata, and cup cakes! Lion and tigers and bears! Meow!

That's the remnants of the cat pinata on my head.

I found the perfect birthday dress at a thrift store. LBD!! A little black satin shift. Damn, grrl. I was thanking the fashion faeries because I knew what I wanted to wear but had no idea if I would find it. Whew!

Here's a creepy late night zombie photo taken at my barf dae BBQ...Braaaaiiinnnsssss.......nom, nom, nom.

On to Miss Pennyfeather.. That cat thought it would be a good idea the eat some thread that was lying around! BAD KITTY. The thread worked it's way into her little belly and did some damage. Big time damage. But no worries! Everything worked out just fine. Roxanne went into surgery, had a great recovery and is back to her old antics. No strings attached.

Pay no attention to the scarf with the fringe on it.

Well, ta for now. See you in the litter box!

General Cat Hospital

Hey there, Queens & Sires. We're on a somber tip this time around. My better half, Ms. Roxanne P. Pennyfeather, just so happened to decide that string is delicious. Not realizing her folly, she nibbled away and is now hospitalized. She will be spending the night at the Williamsburg Animal Clinic, waiting for her turn to go under the knife tomorrow. Please send her all your kitty love!!

Lady Roxanne at her finest

We're Baaaccckkkk........

Not that Roxanne and I went anywhere. After a 2 month hiatus, we have returned to beguile you with our kitty stories and antics.

So, in between my last bloggy blog, there has been quite a turn of events. Roxanne and I had to run for our lives from the last kitty palace that we had in Bed-Stuy. We caught our roommates thieving from us! Oh, the horror. It was a dark New Years Day. Creepy roommate dude came slithering into my room. He didn't know I was home. I was lurking n my room with the lights off, nursing a hangover and a hard days work. Long story short, him and his girlfriend had a massive heroine problem and decided to use me to fuel their addiction. Siiiggghhh. Let us not dwell on such dark times. Thanks to my awesome friend Greg, Pennyfeather and I were out of there in a jiffy! Thanks for helping us move...again!

That's Greg and his cute, chubby dog, Gixer. Gixer likes to play Pillow Puppy. Ah, a dogs life. Roxanne prefers to use me as a pillow. I'm not mad at this. Not at all. Purrr....

Here is the latest 'do that I've been rocking. I broke down and got a weave similar to the wigs that the fierce Nicki Minaj rocks. Rose pink bangs and some wavy curls for texture. This is one of my favourites!! But wait, aren't they all? This weave is actually sewn in and not glued like the ones I've had previously. This shit takes FOREVER, though. They corn-row your natural hair, oh, so tightly, and then they can begin the process of weavin or sewing the tracks. Let me tell you...my head was throbbing when girlie finished braiding me up. I had Janet Jackson's Throb up in this betch.

Zombie 'do 2011...I'm getting ready for the Undead Apocalypse. Because this bad ass weave is sewn in tighter than Aretha Franklin is sewn into her dresses, it lasts longer. Who doesn't like longer? I also like versatility. After wearing my hair down for a couple of weeks, I switched my game around and started wearing my hair up. Oh, snap! I've found my look for Spring/Summer! Pin-up meets Rockabilly meets Mimi Murder! Waves of contentment are washing over me.

That's it for now. Since it's starting to warm up in old New York, I will be doing a lot more season appropriate shopping. Ah, summer time side boob, here we come!! Roxanne, stay outta the cat nip!! Jeez...

*heart*

Hair Done, Nails Done

Happy New Year!!! It's taken a few tries, but I am finally able to get in there and up-date this bad gurl. There have been a few obstacles in the way, such as hang overs, work schedules, catching roommies thieving and sheer laziness. All right, Pennyfeather, we've got some catching up to do! "Meow!"

This is Meredith! She's a new friend I've made by way of Abby Rock. Here she is imitating the stance of some old guy on a horse named Paul Revere. One if by land, two if by sea!!

Here's the New Year's weave! That's some high class art behind me. It's called a bathroom wall.

New Year's eve day I marched my way down to Cherry's Unisex Salon. Located in the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, this place was already buzzing at 11:30. Sigh. I knew this was going to be a wait. I was supposed to be there at 10:30, but due to missing the bus, getting lost in some CRAZY mini-mall with WAY too many exit only signs (wtf), and being really stoned, and having to pick up the hair for the 'do, I was late. Oh, Mimi, what have you done?
I plopped down in a chair and and took a look around at what the other ladies are getting done. Hair creations!! The smiles and attitudes are almost payment enough for the  stylists that work here.
This time around, I wanted something with a little more length. I also had the urge to start playing with color. Side bang, with pink high-lights and layers? Yummy! Ms. Cherry herself was going to do my weave today! Ms. Cherry owns the salon, hence the name. A lovely lady from Jamaica, she's got her eye on everything that going on. I couldn't get a picture of her this time because she was pressed for time,

After a wash & dry, the beautification program began. I'm still growing the sides out from the lovely Mohawk, so we went with the stocking cap method. Ms. Cherry slapped a black stocking cap made for this purpose on my noggin. Not my photo, but is what it looks like: stocking cap 'do.  Tracks get glued on like so much macaroni in first grade. A little while later Ms. Cherry can begin styling and doing that thing that she does. A hair dream comes true!!. I glide out the door feeling as light as a feather. I didn't have intentions of going out this New Years, but God damn, I look and feel amazing. Delicious!

Unfortunately I rang in the New Year with the worst manicure ever. Ooof. Cracked this and broken that. I didn't have hands, I had claws!! Oh, sorrow! I promptly went to this little salon in Bushwhack (spell check is funny!), Brooklyn. Century Nail, located on Grand St, is one of those bootsy salons but they do such a good job with silk wraps. They also have a cute selection of nail art, but there is rarely new art. Oh, we'll fix that by getting some killer nail art done by my girl, Fleury Rose.  I've gotten some skull and crossbones, ice cream cones ( nom) and even Totoro! She's blowing up!!: Blood Rose Nails. Due, to my high impact gesturing and work, only one nail was deemed photo worthy. Pout. Anchors away! Little rhinestones! Thanks Fleury!

Next time on this channel, we'll be focusing on some fashions. My closet is bored with me. I need to beg her for forgiveness. Shopping!!

That should about cover it, huh, Pennyfeather? "Purrr...."

I Want 'em, I Want 'Em!!!

I really, really want coontails. I just have to figure out how to incorporate them into Black Girl Magic, a.k.a: a weave. This is going to need to brain power!

The Winter of Weaves

Just wanted to put some pictures of the coif history that I'm going through. The top photo is Murder au naturale. I'm channeling a little bit of Tank Girl (my fave!) and Grace Jones (my super fave!)  I've been rocking this faux dread lock mohawk for a minute, and I decided it was time for a new look! Grow that betch out!!
The culy 'do... I don't know who I was channeling. That was my first weave evah! It was scary, seeing as how I've never had a weave, didn't know if I was gonna like it, and am very opposed to chemically treating my hair! They glued the tracks in with the dreaded black glue. That stuff is evil and a bitch to get out. Stay Away.
In this latest photo, I wanted a very mod look. Hiding behind the bangs and all. This is my favourite so far. It's styled after a weave that I saw Rhianna with. It's cut short in the back and has heavy bangs. The sides taper towards the jaw line! Yummy!!
So, now that we are caught up on my coifs,I am taking suggestions for my next look. I'm thinking a little more length, maybe start playing with colour? I want some scene girl hair, or maybe a Nicki Minaj cut!

Yummy!!

 

So, I found the most delicious blouse the other day. It has the stylings of a vintage blouse. Check out the ruffled collar! I love it! And, not only did I find the blouse, I got shoes too! Black on black patent leather wing-tips! Sigh.
