Pixie Stix Disaster 2011

| Viciously Sweet

Last week my neighbors had a party where they had a candy bar. Jellybeans, weird toffee, snickers, twix, and a whole tub of pixie stix. When I saw those sugary tubes of joy I knew I had to have one. One turned into 3, and that turned into 7 and I was just so happy that my taste buds still thought they were as rad as they did 15 years ago. (I feel very blessed.)

So I feel a little less this:

And a little more this:

Although, now I feel like I have a problem. I didn’t realize at the time is that this candy would turn me into a sugar addict. Like Charlie Sheen style, on top of the world, kind of sugar addict.

So I tried to stop, but at lunch I had a Dr. Pepper and I’m back to basically wanting to roll through pile sugar (while I threaten someone into a closet, who will shortly call the police on me).

Also the biggest conundrum of all.. how am I supposed to lose weight for my sister’s wedding if all I want is to eat all the sugar in the world?

And worse is she going to replace me with Ashton Kutcher if I can’t stop myself?!?!

They call her “Jazz Hands Keelin”

| Viciously Sweet

Christine, princess of dip, Tsar of Mucho Guacamole and Grand Benevolent Ruler of fried zucchini batter has not always wanted to accept her delicious role in life… In an alternate universe Christine would have followed her love for pristine white gloves and fedoras and become the most supreme modern-tap-artist, adored by tweens worldwide. She would have a sponsorship paid for by the big Suspender companies, she would have the taps shoes of a God…
And this is what it would have looked like:

Happy Friday!
TA-TA-TA-TAP!

Professional Quote of the Day: July 29th

| Viciously Sweet

There are some things in life that aren’t really surprises.

Todays Professional Quote of the Day (PQOTD, for those who like abbr.) is one of those… I’m-not-really-surprised-at-all kind of things:

P.S. This is probably why he has one of the fanciest personal projectors in the land.

The Most Professional Day of the Year

| Viciously Sweet

Today there will be no professional quote. There is another type of professional celebration happening.

29 luscious years ago, the world was given the most professional gift, a little baby that would soon become… PROFESSIONAL ERIC. Since then Eric has created numerous excel spread sheets, vector lines and inspired some very awesome Professional artwork.
Today he is spreading professional joy to the world, with his #1 lady friend:

Today create an Excel Spread Sheet in his honor.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC.

My apologies to Mark Twain, and one of my best ideas of this week.

| Viciously Sweet

Last night, after a rousing trip to Ikea with the incredibly overworked Nancy, I set in for a long summers nap (aka sleep.) But could not really sleep so I watched one of my newer favorite-teen-movies-staring-really-old-actors, “Easy A”…
You know with that adorable as hell Emma Stone.


(btw, I would so wear that)

And that guy I never found attractive until I watched this movie:

And what he is also Woodchuck mascot? Sign me up please… don’t worry he’s probably 30.
Oh wow, nope he’s 24.

I have decided that the world now could truly accept the bounty of a teen movie created by my friends and me. Seriously wouldn’t you love to watch a movie about…

a weird and incredibly clumsy artsy girl:

a weird yet adorable scientific girl:

a teen who was far too intellectual for High School:

a pseudo goth, and a… well a… girl who hated life, while simultaneously being a… person?

Now imagine their journey while being nerds in a repressed Catholic School with cameos of foreign exchange students, Canadians, never-ending spanish classes, Religion classes from hell, awful snobby classmates (who applied makeup like Elizabethan whores), and the most incredibly creepy teacher who has ever existed!

Hours of entertainment, am I right?
Plus, school days off because of a fire? This stuff practically writes itself.

Have a Loverly Eliza Doolittle Day!

| Viciously Sweet

As we all know I am really big into silly little holidays.
Today I’m going to run and tell Henry Higgins that I’m celebrating Eliza Doolittle Day!
And my fairy ladies, I think you should too!

Enjoy the following Limited edition doodles:

Christine as the super fab fancy bedazzled Eliza:

Isabel Doolittle is the classiest lady… and just like in real she can tell you off in a most fabulous manner:

Doodle Lauren as the Eliza with the biggest hat:

And finally
Jimmy as Eliza Doolittle… isn’t it loverly?

Holla At me Higgins:

I had to include that song as it is so very Yonadab.
Also seriously, why are men like that?
Have a truly wonderful and phonetically blessed weekend, I hope you are not in Spain, as that is where the rain falls mainly on the plain.

I’m ready for my vacation

| Viciously Sweet

I’m taking 2 days off of work… And I’m going to go do nothing. But closer to the beach… and I don’t care if its cold, I’m still not going to be working.

Also I need a camera crew to make faces at… I’m really sure I’d be great at it…

Yep. That about sums it up.

Nautical Trinkets

| Viciously Sweet

At Unique LA I purchased a not-so-unique, but incredibly fun telescope necklace. I wore it today at work closed… until lunch when Eric asked if I was wearing a rape whistle. Although I am a fan of guarding yourself from stranger danger… I do not actually own a rape whistle… so, now the telescope is open…
and I can spot a pirate at 2 times closer range now… So watch out Jack Sparrow.

P.S. You can shiver your own timbers.
