award tour

blog asheville is a site that has a huge list of the blogs of all ashevillans, along with some current events updated regularly, and all kinds of good links on the side. some really interesting people have sites in asheville - hangover journals and edgy mama and ashevegas make me laugh regularly. i emailed blogasheville last month to see if they would add me to the list and they did and i just saw skippy haha is nominated for "best design" at next week's blog asheville awards. how about that. so thank you to whoever nominated me. there's not much to it, here's the post about the header.

the second asheville modelfest!

another slew of hilariously talented models worked their burros off yesterday modeling t-shirts for vintage vantage. they won't be online for another few weeks, so here are a few preview snaps to demonstrate.

in the spirit of cheap travel, here is william o. johnson's poem-

"DADDY ALWAYS SAYS WE'RE ON A BUDGET"
"Can we buy three"?
"No only one!"

I want some pizza, Daddy you are no fun!"
Disneyland, Knots Berry Farm, The San Diego Zoo
and anywhere we go,
Daddy always packs the car full of food
because we are on a Budget.

On a cross country trip to visit family and friends, he had a
calculator to track every penny that we could spend. We
brought our own juice, and numerous healthy snacks,
he said we're saving money,
and you know what followed that!
"We are on a Budget!"

We go to the drive-in, so that we can bring our own food.
Dad gets all excited, and he's in a great mood,
as we take our place in the movies,
he pulls all of the food out of the trunk
and as the movie starts
we begin to munch and crunch.

I heard dad lean and whisper,
"It's a good thing we're on a budget,
we can come to the movies every weekend."
Why?
"BECAUSE WE ARE ON A BUDGET!"
