happily posing in front of our button!firstly, i do need to say "thank you" for your nice comments on my mix tape button!
saturday's
hot one inch action show was great fun! upon arrival, chris informed me that "Dickbag" was quite popular - yay! it was funny going around the room trading and finding out people's reactions to our button while we stayed (for the most part) anonymous.
my haulmy favourite button of the night was the popsicle which my friend procured for me from a boy (about the age of 11?) who happily traded for "Dickbag." (are kids being amused by such things at too young an age?)
finally, there is a reason i have bantered for so long before revealing our button... it is
not very suitable for work!i have purposely chosen to not close-crop on the image, but depending on how casual your work environment is, you may want to scroll at your own risk.

Dickbagyour eyes do not deceive you - that literally is a bag of dicks sporting wayfarers and skinny jeans, and riding a bicycle.
now, what's brewing is an idea...
last week, nicole at
le mode du jour, posted about her
40-day shopping ban challenge. the significance of this challenge is that she must exercise not only self-restraint but also her creativity and document 40 days' worth of different outfits from her own closet. crazy, yes, but also such a great idea! no shopping for x-number of days always seems like such a self-pity-fest, but adding that creativity element adds a bit of excitement. (...or maybe i'm just a big geek, and this i can heartily admit to.)
well, this got me thinking... month-long shopping bans i've done before, so what's an extra few days? in fact, as of this post, it's been exactly 40 days since my last purchase and it wasn't
too agonizing.
i have two trips planned for next year and the first is new york city in mid-february. what i'm wondering is if i could possibly start a new challenge -
a 90-day shopping ban - and try to document each day of it? it's sheer insanity, i know, but if the light at the end of the tunnel is the shopping mecca that is new york city, i just might be able to hold on.
so my dear readers, what is your stance on this? are you declaring this lunacy or are you rooting for me like you would the underdog? please let me know! i will consider all arguments!
one more bit of info: if this is a go, it'll officially start on november 17th!
