Scrawny Girl Shop Update: Chibi Dolls

I just listed 4 of my Chibi Dolls for sale in my Etsy store. I am working on a few more that I hope to list this weekend, so stay tuned for an update. :)

My Chibi Dolls were inspired by my original Scrawny Girl dolls, The Powerpuff Girls, and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, who inspired the BIG bows! If you don't know who Kyary is, check out this fun video:



I am currently working on lots of fun patterns and thinking up Christmas goodies! In the works is a boy doll and a mermaid.

Are there any dolls you would like to see made? I'm hoping to make some time to work on my Power Ranger pattern. :)

****SPECIAL DISCOUNT CODE**** As thanks for taking the time to read my blog, I am giving my readers a special discount code through MONDAY August 5, 2013. This code is good for 30% off a Chibi Doll! Please use code: BLOGLOVE01

Thanks again for all your support! :)

Live and Breathing

This week in Lubbock, local bands are getting an awesome opportunity to be part of Live and Breathing.

Live and Breathing was created as a way for musicians to get their music heard by recording them in their most basic form at sites that few would ever conceive as musical backdrops. The goal is to “capture intimate performances by musicians in unique, personal settings.”

Here in Lubbock, they are recording in historic sites such as the Las Escarbadas from the XIT Ranch located at the National Ranching Heritage Center.

My husband's band, Thrift Store Cowboys, completed their session on Tuesday.

Jess Hale from Tomahawk Productions also booked all the bands at a local venue, The Blue Light to make it a full week of awesome music.

As soon as the sessions are up on the Live and Breathing website, I will post the link.

I'll leave you with a video taken by a fan at The Blue Light

If you are in the area, there are more awesome bands to see through the rest of the week. Check out Tomahawk Productions for more information.

The Halloween Party I Wish I Was Invited To

This morning I am drinking tea and going through my Reader, catching up on the blog-o-sphere, when I come across this post from Haute Whimsy about Kate Nash's Halloween Party. Now as a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and particularly the musical episode, Once More With Feeling (my old blog was named after it), I am floored by the awesome theme of her party!

I wish I was invited in all my 8 month pregnant glory to see Kate Nash dressed as Buffy and rock out with everyone else!

(My friend T took this picture of me handing out candy. She also gifted me the Hello Kitty shirt last year, and even though its from the Target little girls section I managed to make it work.)

I would jump on stage like the guy in this video:

Make sure to check out the rest of the videos on Haute Whimsy's blog. If you've never seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I recommend a nice marathon (last I checked it was on Netflix instant).

Happy belated Halloween!

I'm a huge fan of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. She is super kawaii and creative as hell. I find her videos very inspiring! Take a look at this latest video, it's crazy!
