Artful Dodger.
So, Randi and I took in the last day of the Utah Arts Festival, yesterday--I was stoked to see all of the local artists and local talent. I always have so much respect for people in a creative outlet. As a bonus, it was a beautiful day. Hello, sunburn. :)
I was most excited to see Cat Palmer's finished work. (I had been invited to participate in her Salt Flats shoot, a month ago.) Interestingly, as we entered the festival, a couple stopped me. They had just purchased a piece of Cat's work, with me hanging out, "front and center". Kinda neat, although as a creep factor, I might be watching them eat in their dining room. haha.
Outta body experience, right here: (The last available piece...)

Eye Candy.
It's been uncharacteristically cold, rainy and all around "icky". But, today, the sun is FINALLY out and I'm taking full advantage of it. I broke out the bike for an early morning jaunt and finished up with coffee on my deck. I wish I could live all of my days, just like this. However, I feel compelled to do something productive...even on a day like this.
I FINALLY got the first sample pieces of my "hopefully" eclectic clothing stuffs. I'm stoked if I can bring it to fruition. I'm almost petrified to wear the sample pieces. Hopefully ya'll will like them as much as I do.
There will be pictures coming of the sample dresses, as well. I'm thinking this stuff is gonna require it's own blog, at some point. Maybe I should get on that. haha.
(I did "get on that"... www.monloulouclothing.blogspot.com)
**Psst, the shirt would retail for roughly around 25 bucks. Yep.

Developing.
Remember the thrill of polaroid cameras? While chilling with your friends, you could pull out the Polaroid camera, snap away, and watch as the image slowly appeared in full vivid color. Who could forget how Outkast’s big hit “Hey Ya!” reminded everyone of the virtues of Polaroid shakin?
Well now, there’s "Poladroid" – an online program available for Windows and Mac users that converts your digital shots into Polaroid look-alikes. What’s rad about Poladroid? You drag and drop your digital pics on top of the camera. From the camera, out shoots a blank photo that slowly “develops” on your computer desktop. I've found it slightly addictive and it's made me a bit nostalgic. Better yet, the cost is free- though "Poladroid" is taking donations.
Also, being an iPhone owner, I found Shakeit. This is a new iPhone App that uses the same tinted colors, staggered developing process and entertaining “shake” technique. Basically, you take a picture with your iPhone and the polaroids actually develop quicker if you shake it.
Pretty sweet, if you ask me.
