If there is a bright side…

Hello friends,

Recently it has been harder to find the words.

My next scan and oncology appointment loom. It’s nerve-wracking.

And I have been feeling, literally feeling, so much about the Inauguration. My jaw aches from clenching my teeth. My neck hurts to move, and my head feels like it weighs too much to lift sometimes.

I try to relax, thinking back to my beautiful vacation. But it’s hard. What lies ahead? I am worried.

You bet I marched.

If there’s a bright side, it includes this: wonderful feminist, progressive arts and entrepreneurs to get them in our hands. I’m shopping and supporting.

I belatedly bought a pink pussy hat from Feminist Wrath.

“What if President Obama were a hipster?”

Here is a nice break from all of the heavy stuff I’ve been posting here about Dad and life recently. Please enjoy.

Artist Amit Shimoni creates illustrations of world leaders and historical figures, but reimagined as hipsters.

Maybe Hillary should consider giving this silver + purple look a go.

I had some fun with my nails

Before my parents most recent visit, I went to the nail salon with a picture in my phone.

I took a photo of a painting by my late paternal grandmother to the nail salon and told my favorite technician Joey “anything inspired by this will be wonderful.” She far exceeded my expectations and when my father saw her work, he seemed touched.

Ignore my cuticles. Joey does the best she can with what I give her!

I’m still laughing.

The funniest thing I have seen all week

I get a gazillion emails per week from Fab.com. That may be an exaggeration but not by much.

A project I work on periodically does Fab sales so I feel a need to keep up with what they’re selling.

When I received an email about Male Landscapes and Andy Warhol, I had a giggling fit. I couldn’t tell you why.

The pictures made matters worse:

Maybe it was thoughts of modern manscaping and wondering what ol’ Andy would think of that trend if he were alive today.

The sale ends on June 22 so as a parting gift, I’m giving you some NSFW screen shots below just in case you don’t check out the sale in time.

Last warning: wieners involved.

Pink is my color

I love pink – always have. This egg chair. That Thakoon dress. I covet pink things.

It’s probably the Pinterest page I add to the most. I also follow this pink board. This one too.

Neon shoes

Why waste a perfectly good pair of running shoes when you can make a bigger statement?

I’m seeing similar shoes all over Williamsburg now. Cannot tell a lie: I laugh and wonder about them every time.

Art? Oh.

Call me clueless about art. A heathen.

But I wouldn’t want this painting on any of my walls, not even a bathroom wall.

I imagine the teenage boy who lives in the house either has a lot of fun with the painting when friends visit or cringes for the first hour.

George Condo, you must be a fascinating man.

DITHYRAMBALINA

I have no idea what to make of this. I only know that I want to see it with my own eyes.

Property of Dithyrambalina
