Holy radness, batman! My band The Extreme Unicorns just released our first EP. It’s time to rock AND roll.

Here’s the new music video for the first song on the EP:

My band, The Extreme Unicorns, also released a new song and video. It’s a cover of the Misfits’ Hybrid Moments.

Plus, I’m doing a mega-enormous Halloween giveaway on WhatTheCraft! There’s over $475 worth of handmade Halloween radness up for grabs, so go check it out!

I finally got this tutorial uploaded to Youtube without problems. YAY!

This two part tutorial will show you how to make a damn cute pair of  ruffle butt underwear. (Or plain butt underwear if you’re not feeling ruffly. But ruffles are fun, so don’t neglect the ruffles.)

Thank you to rufflefabric.com for providing the ruffle fabric. Check out their site, it’s like a candy store for us fabric fiends!

This tutorial was filmed using a Creative Labs Vado HD Digital Video Camera, a Canon Rebel (for still shots), and edited in Sony Vegas Movie Studio.

It’s Ghost and Sirius in their big screen debut! This is from almost a month ago, the first night we had them, I can’t believe how much they’ve grown since then.

Butt freckles!

Yesterday was Mr. Smarmy’s 28th birthday. We totally fail at surprising each other with gifts. He can’t keep a secret and insists on telling me what he’s getting me. And no matter how clever I think I am, he always guesses what I’m getting him. So usually we just pick out our own gifts. Not very fun for a champion gift-giver such as myself.

About a month ago, I was in an Etsy chat room and was introduced to buttfreckle and her adorable butt freckles. (Each butt freckle has it’s *own* butt freckle!!!) Her shop had some cute ideas for what to do with your butt freckles:

What to do with your freckle?
- hide it in the medicine closet
- stash it in your child’s lunch
- make it pee on your son (thanks MaMeex5)
- throw it at the cat
- set it on your desk
- tag the back of your bro’s head
The possibilities are endless!

That got me thinking….
I adopted some butt freckles and took great care to hide them from the unerring eyes of Sir Smarmy. The night before Tim’s birthday, I snuck into our bedroom and placed a butt freckle on his pillow.

Trixie and the butt freckles (my new favorite band name!) get along famously

He was all sneaky and tried to butt freckle me back by putting it on my pillow. What he didn’t realize is that I bought a whole barbershop quartet of butt freckles… he’d find another, and another, and just when he thought it was all over, ANOTHER! HA! He actually wound up walking around with one in his pocket for over an hour before he realized it.
