I’m in a great mood today. It’s fucking Friday, y’all! Woot! And while getting dressed this morning (sorry no pics) I found myself stepping out of my usual routine and opting for splashes of the luckiest color: RED! I’m wearing my red-framed glasses, black t-shirt with a huge red glass heart necklace (the size of your fist), dark blue jeans and some red slip-on Keens I just got. LOVE IT! I just feel more sassy in red! Also, I have red hair!

To celebrate this lovely day and the color Red, I did a bit of web diving and wanted to share some things that come up with this lovely and luscious colour.

Of course you’ve got the Cincinatti Reds, the Boston Red Sox and all of that. Also, there’s Red Robin, Red Lobster, etc. Don’t forget the Red Cross. But what else?

Enjoy your day and your weekend and your life. See what colors pop out at you and let me know all about it!

It’s the simplest of things that can sweep us off our feet.

WOOT!

From EW.com:
Johnny Depp directed a music video for British rockers Babybird’s “Unloveable.” The video’s plot is taken from Ambrose Bierce’s 1890 short story “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” a trippy classic set during the Civil War that was later adapted into a Twilight Zone episode.

I had never heard of Babybird, but I randomly came across this bit of video & info and LOVE IT! The video is what music videos should be, cinematic! And seriously, Johnny Depp must direct again! He’s fantastic!

OMZ! This was so fun! And I have been looking for an alter-ego for awhile. And to have one this fabulous? What more could a gal want? Now I feel fabulous even though I don’t look like this:

And it was super easy. You just upload a picture of yourself and go nuts! (ahem) Ha-ha!

Prepare yourselves for some fabulosity!

Because I saw a new one last night that I now LOVE I have decided to share with you lovelies my fave cartoons as of late (Okay, the theme songs, but they’re rad I promise!):
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: Such an offbeat and cool cartoon. The opening is in clay-mation or something, but the actual show is in a more classic style of animation. The stories and shenanigans Flapjack & K’nuckles get into? Oh boy! Dark and scary, fun and fantastic…great show!

Chowder: Okay, so this may appeal to a younger audience than the rest, but I still love Chowder! All of the characters have foodie names and all kinds of hilarious things happen in the kitchen when making dishes for the catering business they run. Good fun, sometimes gross and always silly!

Adventure Time with Finn & Jake: This is the new show I mentioned. It’s so cute and fun! Only seen on episode and I’m hooked! Makes me want to be a kid again!

Invader Zim: One of the best ever! So well written and full of snarky wit! The infamous Jhonen Vasquez at perhaps his finest. Yes, creator if Johnny The Homicidal Maniac comics and more. A little dark, perfectly kid appropriate, yet somehow great for grown ups, too!

Oblongs: Has a show ever been more off beat? Nope! Fun, raunchy, grotesque and fabulously full of truth (as in the rich rule it all). Yes, the amputee dad is voiced by Will Farrel and the mom by Jean Smart! Great writing, too.

Home Movies: This one I hold close to my heart. I couldn’t find just the theme song, so this is the first half of the first episode. But let me just say this, any cartoon that takes film making, rock opera, Franz Kafka and so much more into this loose and playful context is alright by me. I still get certain bits of dialogue or songs in my head. And the DVD’s shall never leave my home! Too funny! So good! The stuff these kids go through for their art?! Ha!

Do you have a fave modern cartoon darlings? I’d love to hear about them…and may even post them!
