This is kind of a new Installment of Storytime with Lauren.
Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted food at Disneyland.
Remember when I was up in arms about fried chicken?
Well it’s happened again. After the terrible loss of fried chicken, I have moved my desired Disney food to the pizza realm.
Pizza from its german/pinnochio themed experience:
Because not only does it have pizza but it plays yodeling music, which is awesome to eat pizza to. It makes you want to slap on some lederhosen, and craft a child our of wood.
Well when I got to the old Village Haus. I was surprised as hell to see that it was boarded up and closed.
The sign said “If you want to enjoy pizza go to the Rocket Port.” Being that Rocket port pizza is nasty and by the slice I said “Let’s just go to the by the slice place in California adventure.”
This is how far I had to go to get this:
And when I got there… the Restaurant was torn down. No pizza for anyone. Sometimes Disney stories have awful endings….

Many people would not agree with me and my love for the tragic prince of vanity, Dorian Gray.
He was created by one of my literary BFF’s Oscar Wilde. Who takes you through the luscious world of appearances in Victorian England.
At the age of 18 Dorian sits for a portrait so beautiful that all sorts of men adore him, and all his awesome hot-ness. So while being a stupid man delighted with his appearance he and Lord Henry kind of sell his soul to the devil… so he can stay young and handsome forever…
I can’t say that many 18 year olds wouldn’t do something so dumb.
So for another 18 years or so he counted up sins like nobody’s business… Including being mean to his Ophelia like girlfriend, and murdering the man who originally painted him. At least he looked damn good while doing it. And like all other straight up gangsters he never misse a party. Wouldn’t he so be friends with Kanye West in modern times?
Well here is my doodle ode to him:
In a Pee Wee Herman like chain of events. Nancy Has decided to become a Palm Reader, due to the fact she can read my mind through the internet.
Her new stand is located in front of the Wendy’s.
Can I get a fortune and a frosty?
I had to photoshop this… because I pictured it so clearly in my mind.

This is not exactly the flowers we went to see. But I had to clarify this, as this does exist in Pomona
Christine and I took a stroll to the fox theatre in Pomona… to see Brandon Flowers on Tuesday night.
Christine with strolling action
On our first attempt to gain entrance to the music venue I encountered the most vengeful of security guards who told us we had to throw away our lipgloss. Now, I had some fancy lipgloss with me, that I have become accustom to and had to be returned to the car… Electric pink gloss me and you forever.
This Lip Gloss is quarantined...
(I have since concoted a theory that Brandon Flowers has a lipgloss phobia and thought he would surely be glossed by some rogue hoochies.)
This may be true.
The show started with the magically accented Fran Healy.
You remember him from this:
He was awesome. During his set he played a song called “Sing Me to Sleep” which is a duet. He requested we imagine him having a Victor/ Victoria look… I could have helped him if I had been allowed my lipgloss. He was so awesome Christine bought his cd. (Which everyone should buy!)
And he finished his set with this song from Travis. Which is one of my personal fav’s.
While Mr. Flowers set was being unveiled the set change music was awesome. And included this song, which I sang with reckless abandon:
So fi-i-ine. We were in a more than thrilled mood. And then the hoochies came. Dressed like J-lo trannies from a 50 cent video, they loomed behind us… brushing us with their fingers hair and what not. All over our back regions. Screaming so loud you would have thought they shot Puffy.
I really though they were at the wrong concert.
Someone in this picture looks like a tranny J-lo. This person is not Christine nor me.
Then Brandon Appeared on stage kind of looking like the brawny man. He was fabulous. He sang and jerked around on the stage like we were at some fabulous new wave 1980s concert.
He could sell me paper towels anytime...
We also saw a girl from high school at the concert who recognized me in the darkness of the theater. I am mad recognizable.
The last song Brandon played left me in a conundrum because he played “when you were young” which has a line about someone not looking anything like Jesus…. but look at the guy next to Brandon he kind of looks like Jesus….
On our way to our car, we stopped an waited for Brandon. Christine got away and I was smushed into the crowd and briefly into Brandon himself. He has great skin, btw. It was crazy. Also I have this nice bruise to have as a keepsake….
This bloggy is not really scrubs related even though the title sounds like one….
I’m not going to get philosophical or whiny… so enjoy this lonely times doodle.
Do you ever feel like you are like a creature without a match like a unicorn, or a flying dragon, or Jennifer Aniston?
Sometimes even our footwear feels like that:

Ooooh I am so excited to start this new theme.
And I’m currently sharing one of my favorite Halloween/ gothicy characters. Which I should have posted on Halloween….
Elvira.
When I was a kid I super adored her. I really wanted to have big hair, and wicked cool eyeliner like hers.
Elvira is awesome
I really loved her style
Her style is super awesome
I also liked her poodle
Her dog's hair was the best I've ever seen a poodle look
and that she was fixing up her inhereited haunted house.
What can I say? I was kind of a weird kid. But, I think this website shows that off nicely.
So here is my “all in good character” homage to Elvira.
There have been so many things happening recently.
Some good, some better.
While I have realized I’m soon to have a plethora of non necessary architecture books, I am also spreading out my art… and may try to do something with it. Exciting? Maybe to me and all of my fan.
But I finally had time to doodle, and start another impossible project which I call “All in Good Character.”This has a lot to do with characters that I love from books and movies, and not so much with tacos. In other news tacos are not so thrilled about this revelation. The taco community is not thrilled with the lack of new Taco ventures on Viciously Sweet
Also I have started the preparations for the Isabel Stare-a-thon 2010.
More Isabel for the new decade. ISABEL STARE-A-THON 2010. BIGGER. BETTER. NOW WITH SPARKLES

Jimmy has been saying that people are telling him to change up his polo shirt and vans stylings. They have even suggested places to shop.
Jimmy says he just “can’t imagine wearing those clothes.” Being the awesome friend that I am, I think I should help his imagination out.
The first fashion inspiration was sent by Jimmy himself.
I call it “Inspector Jimmy”
Here is the inspiration: This is a straight classy look, for an assortment of professionals!!!
The second look is a little Bob Dylan-y but I think Jimmy could pull it off… due to the architect inside him.
Inspiration: This look is so artistic, It screams... "art!" (and not garfunkel)
This 3rd look is for professional Jimmy. I could see him being a little Mad-men-y in the future, when he’s crushing the hopefuls architectural dreams:
The mad inspiration: Okay this is actually stylish. This was not just because I wanted to post a picture of Jon Hamm... that, is just a bonus
The fourth look is casual Jimmy. I could actually see this working. Also I like it because it’s kind of sailor-ish
The inpsiration: yarg
This final look is soft scarfy Jimmy:
The inspiration: Cold necks, are the reason for man scarf!
I hope this helped Jimmy!
Also what look do you like best for Jimmy?
