Moar stuffs but also nails (yay)

All right so I've got some more talking I want to do but I do have a picture of a manicure I did many moons ago to tide you over. This is Color Club Blue-topia with Finger Paints Flecked on top.

Aaand now to what we have to discuss.

1. I have gotten a carpload of entries for the contest. Like... probably around 100 or so. Which is kind of a heck of a lot of names to vote on. So I was wondering, would you guys mind if I narrowed it down to like a top 50 or something? Maybe even less? I just don't know what would be best... or I could let you guys vote on names in groups and then have a final vote with the winners from all of the sections. If you have any suggestions on how to make this easier, please do share! I would really appreciate it.

2. So I kind of completely forgot my blogaversary... It was the 28th! I don't really have time to reflect on things right now but YOU ALL DESERVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE




And I also just want to say...




Yeah, I like gifs. So what.

No nails tonight, but a few things to discuss

Good evening my lovelies! How are you all?

No manicure tonight but there's a few things I want to address.

1. My contest ends in 3 days on March 31st at 11:59 pm! So if you haven't already, go submit some names! Look there's priiiizes:


I've gotten a few names that I really enjoy! Although in the end it's going to be up to you guys, but I'm loving everyone who submitted puns and song titles.

2. So Disqus is definitely not working all the time because I keep getting more and more Blogger comments. The majority is still Disqus, but it's obviously not loading for all of you. I really don't know what the problem is or what to do about it. Any suggestions???

3. I've gotten an influx of new followers recently and I just wanna say hollaaaa and you rock for following me.


A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR YOU

And also since I'm too lazy to go try to hunt down all your blogs, I would like to invite you to share them with me in the comments section of this post! I'd love to check them out :)

Aaand that is all for today. I love ya, over and out!

Guest Post - Eye Heart It

Today's guest post is courtesy of a lovely lady by the name of Larie who runs a fabulous blog called Eye Heart It. She is really freaking awesome and does really amazing posts! I know you'll enjoy this so here she is!
 
 
"Hi everyone! I'm Larie. *blush* When Laura asked me to do a guest post, I may or may not have panicked a little, because while I do post the occasional NOTD or nail polish review...I suck at them. My nails aren't pretty and I don't have any nail art skillzzzzz; usually all I do is slap on two coats of a pretty polish and go "Oooooooooh." Then I wear it until I scratch up my nails (easy, I'm a climber) and repeat the whole process again.

After a bit of flailing (and a mini-consultation with Laura) I decided I could take one of Laura's pretty NOTDs and use it to inspire an eye look. Which is what I did. I'm sorry if you came here to a nail blog expecting...a nail post. Please don't throw tomatoes at me. *puppy eyes* I had permission!!!!!

So I picked this one:


I like blue eye shadow, and I know Laura is a teal fiend, so it was a good choice. Here's the look!


UDPP Eden + Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy, Shiro Cosmetics Desu (pastel blue), A Neat Gun (teal with orange glitter), Veran (dark blue with red glitter), UD 24/7 Glide-on Liner in Binge


I think it might be wearable if you weren't wearing blue (that might be a bit much). But paired with a peachy brown blush and some nude lipstick, you'd be ready for a night on the town! If you did such things. I, being boring, do not. I just walk the dog and scare the neighbors. Anyhoo.
 
Thanks for having me, Laura! :) And now you may resume your nail posts, bwahaha."
 
 
Yay! Larie is really amazing, she is the cutest thing and I enjoy her blog so much! She is where I discovered Thursday Posts and she also does Foodie Fridays that make me drool over my keyboard. I highly recommend FOLLOWING HER!

Guest Post - Vintage Makeup

Today's guest blogger is another wonderful lady whose blog I thoroughly enjoy. She's not a nail blogger but a beauty blogger, but I think you guys will appreciate what she has to share with us! Without further adieu, here is a post courtesy of Vintage Makeup.

"
Hello! I'm "Vintage," from Vintage Makeup


For my guest post I decided to do an EOTD using blue eye shadow because I'm pretty sure Laura has a blue nail polish obsession so the next best thing had to be eye shadow, right?



Products used


Urban Decay Skull Shadow Box (shades used are Shattered with Midnight Cowboy Rides Again on top.)


Beauty Rush Mascara in Blacktastic


Wet n Wild Shimmer Eye Pencil in Blue

-----

Thank you Laura for letting me write a guest post!


Very pretty! While I do not use eyeshadow on my eyes I do like using it for frankening, and this one looks like it would make a really beautiful polish! It reminds me of something the White Witch in Narnia would wear. Vintage certainly has me pegged, I do love blue!

I hope you guys enjoyed this guest post; it's nice to have a change of pace once in a while. :) (Hey, look at that semicolon. Yeah, that's right. I used a semicolon. BAMF.)

Now go follow Vintage!

I'm Just a Girl...

Welcome to the revamped Thursday Post, which will be appearing randomly whenever I have time. I'll still be tagging these Thursday Post so that they're all organized together, though.


Just a Girl - No Doubt. I love No Doubt so much. Gwen Stefani is awesome and so is this song.

Somebody get this in my mouth right now.

Starry night photos are officially awesome.
Why can't I live in a house with an awesome staircase? Or any stairs at all, for that matter.

This is so freaking entertaining. I could spend hours just messing around with them!

Can I please live here?

I just burst from the adorableness.

Things like this really make me want to be a photographer!

Happy Wednesday!

Tags that I should have done a long time ago

All right so I've got some awards that I have been neglecting for a while and I decided I should probably do them. So ready yourselves for a deluge of useless information that was more than you ever wanted to know about me.

First up, we have the 11 Questions tag from Ingie at F Yeah I Love Nails.

Blah blah blah rules and stuff that no one actually reads. Basically you tell everyone 11 random facts about yourself and then answer 11 questions that the tagger gave you. Since you probably know more about me than you ever wanted to, I'll skip the facts and just do the questions.
  1. If you knew the world was going to end tomorrow, what would you do in your last living hours? Oh my gosh I don't even like thinking about this... I would probably invite all my friends and family over and we'd have a giant party where we all ate a bunch of delicious food and just talked about life.
  2. How do you see yourself in 10 years? Hmm... I don't know, there are so many different possibilities that could change the direction my life takes! All I know is that I want to live in New Orleans in an apartment that is probably decorated with a bunch of hippie paraphernalia.
  3. What brings back childhood memories? This is surprisingly hard! Board games is the only thing that comes to mind immediately. I used to love Clue and play it all the time. Nobody wants to play it with me anymore! :(
  4. What is your favorite nail polish brand and what color from that brand? This is so difficult! I guess my favorite brand would be a-england, and I really love Tristam and Perceval.
  5. What country would you like to visit?  Anywhere in Europe, hands down!
  6. When you're alone, do you sing and pretend you can actually sing? YES I love to sing (admittedly, I like to sing very overdramatically to old rock songs), and I'll have you know that I've been told I have a nice voice!
  7. Do you have a guilty pleasure? If so, what is it? I love trash TV, but I can't say that I'm ashamed of it!
  8. Do you have weird habits? Yes. A few years ago I discovered a microscopic chip on the corner of one of my front teeth. It's pretty much invisible but I constantly scrape against it with my thumbnail. Also, every night before I go to bed I absolutely have to put lotion on my hands and lip balm on my lips. Whenever I turn up the volume on the TV it has to be in multiples of 5. I'm not crazy, I swear...
  9. Have you ever done something that you later regret? Of course, hasn't everyone!? I try not to regret things that I can't fix, though. I don't like dwelling, so I just tell myself "Yes that was dumb, but it's over now." and move on.
  10. Do you have a favorite perfume? Miss Dior Cherie. I don't actually own it since it is preeetty expensive but every time I go to Ulta or Sephora I spray a sample paper to death with it and shove it in my wallet or pockets so they smell really good.
  11. How would you like to spend your most relaxing day? I would love to go have a picnic out in a nice field somewhere. I would want it to be sunny, but the temperature should be cool. That would be nice.
Next up are the Cute Blog and Best Blog awards from Tyne at Lovebeangirl.
More rules, yadda yadda yadda. More random facts which I will spare you from, and here are another 11 questions! (I think all these tags end up getting mooshed together in the blogosphere)
  1. What do you like most about your life? My friends, my family, where I live (I <3 Houston).
  2. Do you wear makeup every day? No. I only use it if I've got any blemishes that need covering. (I love the word "blemishes." It sounds so much nicer than "pimples.")
  3. What's your motto in life? Things won't just happen because you want them to. You have to make them happen.
  4. If you could change 4 things in the world, what would you choose? I wish that there would be no more wars, world hunger could be solved, no one was unemployed, and everyone just got along.
  5. What does your URL mean? I think it's pretty self-explanatory, haha!
  6. Do you have a collection of anything? Naaaail polish! I've also got a bunch of little glass animal figurines, and I sort of accidentally ended up collecting snowglobes? I don't officially "collect" them but for some reason I have like ten.
  7. Can you give me some of your nicknames? Honestly I don't really have any. I do have a friend who is also named Laura, so sometimes we call each other "Other Laura" but that's pretty much it.
  8. Love or lust? Love!
  9. Who's the person you trust most on this earth? I trust all my friends and my family!
  10. What's the most important for you? I guess just being happy. I really don't think you should do anything if it doesn't make you happy.
  11. Have you ever been in love? No.
Aaand then I think you're supposed to say something for each of these things:
  • A song: Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
  • A dessert: I loooove tiramisu.
  • An animal: Platypi!
  • Your best trait: Ambitious.
  • Your everyday attitude: Easygoing.
  • A color: Cerulean (yes, I felt like being fancy).
  • A number: 7
  • Do you prefer giving gifts or receiving: Both? I can't piiick I mean come on I like getting gifts but giving them is really fun too!
  • A day of the week: Saturday
  • Your passion: Nail polish? And I also really love football.
Aaand here are some other questions for the Cute Blog award! (everything above was for Best Blog)
  1. What is your go-to makeup product? I really like mascara although I don't wear it all the time.
  2. What was your favorite fashion trend of 2011? Well since I'm not really up on most fashion trends, I'll say my favorite trend was all the homemade polish sellers popping up! (NerdLacquer, Lacquistry, etc.)
  3. What is your favorite dessert? Didn't I already answer this? Well, I also love fudge.
  4. Favorite color? Bluuuuuueeeeee
  5. What is your middle name? Not telling! It's probably not safe to give out that kind of information on the internet! Buuut I'll tell you it starts with an "e."
  6. What is the last song you listened to? A Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay.
  7. Cats or dogs? I have both. :)
Aaand now the last award from Frosso at Lacquer Me Silly, the Kreativ Blogger Award.
  1. Name your favorite song: I won't pick favorites so here's another song I love: Lonely Boy by the Black Keys.
  2. Name your favorite dessert: Seriously? People need to start coming up with new questions for these things!
  3. What ticks me off: People who don't say what they mean.
  4. When I'm upset I... Rant. A lot.
  5. What's your favorite pet? I love all my babies equally!
  6. Black or white? White.
  7. Biggest fear: Just... being terminally unhappy, I guess.
  8. Everyday attitude: Already answered!
  9. What is perfection? James Dean and The Beatles.
  10. Guilty pleasure: Already answered again!
OKAY I'M DONE. YOU ARE ALL FREE TO RESUME YOUR NORMAL LAURA-FREE LIVES NOW.
Thank you to Ingie, Tyne, and Frosso. I really appreciate it! If any of you reading this have tagged me for anything then please let me know! I feel like I'm forgetting someone...
I'm not going to pass these awards on to anyone but I would like to take the time to shout-out to all these ladies who have been leaving comments dedicatedly! I just want to let you all know how much I appreciate it.
And last but not least, Eye Heart It. Larie is a fantastic beauty blogger with occasional nail posts, Thursday Posts, and Foodie Fridays mixed in. She really is a wonderful blogger and I look forward to her posts every day!
You should all check every single one of the ladies I've mentioned in this post and with that, I bid you adieu since this has been pretty much one of the most exhausting posts I've ever written. Good night!

The Thursday Post

All right, here is a belated Thursday Post for all you beautiful people!

Obsessions - Marina and the Diamonds. I love her, she's got such a unique voice, it's almost operatic, and the beat of her songs is so easy to get into. This is one of my favorite songs by her. I'm bad at describing music, just listen to it!


I'd love to see a beauty blogger review their own homemade beauty products. It would be interesting to see how they stack up against synthetic products.

I think this is such a cool idea. It's really interesting to see the progression of time like that. Here's part two.

I NEED this. That's so awesome! It's like holo flakies!

How freaking delicious do these look? White chocolate + Oreos + Cheez-Its? Yes please.

First world problems. #SoTrue

And what would a Thursday Post be without some stunning landscapes? Here are my favorites:



Happy Sunday!

A Look Back

I just thought it might be interesting to share with you some stats about my blog.

Most viewed posts:
And let's put that in conjunction with the top search words that direct to my site (I've combined like terms):
  • twilight sparkle
  • opi roadhouse blues
  • opi rainbow connection
  • draco malfoy hot
  • essie trophy wife
For reasons that baffle me, searches for the My Little Pony Twilight Sparkle are by far the highest bringer of traffic to my site with 4,183 searches, whereas Roadhouse Blues in second place has a measly 531. That's kind of terrifying. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not.

Oh, and of course another one of my top posts is a picture of a shirtless Tom Felton (who plays Draco Malfoy) and some blondies (as in food, you weirdos. They're like butterscotch brownies). I really don't know how I feel about that.

As far as technology goes, my blog is mostly viewed on Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer, and most people that read my blog are PCs (they're in first at 70%, Macs are in second at 18%).

And the countries that look at my blog the most are:
  • United States
  • Canada
  • United Kingdom
  • Australia
  • Netherlands
Since I'm reflecting on the past year (or really I should say 9 months, since I only started my blog at the end of March), let me ask you: how do you think I'm doing? Should I post more My Little Ponies and hot men for your enjoyment?

This is probably the most glorious thing I've ever made. I hope my mom (who will be reading this eventually) can forgive me.

May your new year be filled with nail polish, happiness, My Little Ponies, and many, many hot men.

The Thursday Post

100 Years - Five for Fighting. I was really tempted to do another country song, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea so I refrained. Not to mention this song is full of win.

It's too late for Christmas, but maybe you can still find a use for these freaking awesome science-y gifts. I'm sure Larie will find this stuff as cool as I do.

Aww, are these adorable or what?

Okay, some things in life are just awesome. Here you go. Please tell me that's not insanely creative. I think my favorite is the French fry spider and the ketchup packet cockroach, although of course I love the nail polish one.

I'm sure some of you can sympathize: I am addicted to lip balm. So I was quite pleased when I saw this post. I've always wanted to try the Korres Lip Butters, maybe now I will!

Of course, what would the Thursday Post be without awesome pictures? Voila. They're all amazingly beautiful, but I think the second one is my favorite.

Three words: homemade peppermint patties.

To make up for the lack of posts the past two days, I have some nail wheel spam for you.

Hits Lambada, Hits Artemis (this is WAAAAY more holo in real life), Ozotic 505 (all over black)

Nails Inc. Trafalgar Square (by itself on the left, over black on the right), unnamed green foil snowman polish in the middle.

a-england Perceval and Iseult

Butter London Tart With a Heart (over black on the far left, alone in the middle) and The Black Knight

Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe, Don't Tell Mama, Naked

Remember those frankens I showed you forever ago? Well I made some more. (I couldn't find any of the WnW bottles I had sitting around, so I finally gave up looking and bought some more) Please enlargen these to view them in their full glory.

(I need to thin up the pink one so the holo glitter shows through more)

The white and taupe one aren't done, they need a little something more.

The whole family (so far)

If you're wondering what this collection is for, I'll give you a hint. Each polish is inspired by a character from a cancelled TV show. There are going to be 10 polishes in all. If you can guess what it is then I'll... well I'll think you're awesome. And I might come up with a prize, if you're lucky.

Happy Thursday!

The Thursday Post

Beautiful Wreck - Shawn Mullins. I seem to have quickly become inexplicably obsessed with country music. Not just any country music, though: I don't want Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton and Shania Twain, I mean those unknown yee-haw country guys who sing about trucks and fishing. And this country song, which is a little more sophisticated.

Are you one of the people who believes that the world is going to end in 365 days? Here is an article that might make you feel better. Or maybe worse, if you're into the whole apocalypse thing.

Oh my GOD yes. Girl scout cookies are awesome. Samoas are indeed the best kind. Coconut + caramel + chocolate? Ugh. And in bark form!?!?! I DIE.

How about some holiday-themed Lynnderella polish?

I really want to do this but I probably wouldn't be able to deal with how ridiculously time-consuming it would be.

Have you ever wondered about the 100 most beautiful words in the English language? Well there they are. My personal favorite (lachrymose) isn't on there, but I am fond of effervescent, lagniappe, and panacea.

I think I could actually do this! My friend Anna makes shirts and stuff using paint, but that's too time-consuming for me.
  
These are some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. Just to give you an idea of why you should look:
 
 
Happy Thursday! If you've seen any links you'd like to share, we'd love to see them!

The Thursday Post

Oh my gosh Thursday came way too fast. I'm afraid I totally wasn't vigilant about finding links. I will, however, give you a song and then do a tag that I need to get around to.

Don't Stop - Foster the People

Now that you have some background music, I'll do the Nail Polish Tag.

I was tagged for this by both Leslie and Tyne.

  1. How many nail polishes do you have? Oh gosh... probably around 200 now. I don't want to count!
  2. What is your favorite brand of nail polish? Hmm. That's tricky. OPI's formula is usually impeccable, but I love the colors that Zoya offers, and China Glaze is just pretty awesome all around. I don't want to pick!
  3. Do you like crackle polish, or do you hate it? Meh, I don't know. It looks too "muggle-y" in my opinion, but I do occasionally use the silver shatter I have.
  4. What is your first nail polish brand? I honestly don't remember. Oh wait, I think it was Milani! The first polishes I remember buying are Milani Totally Cool and OPI Mad as a Hatter. 
  5. If you're going to have a nail polish line, what are you gonna name it? Laura's Lacquers, duh!
  6. What nail polish color does not compliment you?
  7. Usually orange and yellow. They make me look dead which reminds me of zombies and zombies are pretty much my biggest fear.
  8. And what color does compliment you?
  9. Usually pale colors, since I am freakishly pale, but I really love blues/turquoises/teals.
  10. Name two of your best nail art friends? How could I pick? I don't want to list people because I'm afraid I'll leave someone out, but I must give a shout out to Leslie for really making me try nail art!
  11. What was the best nail polish gift you have ever received? Oh man, I don't know! I think I'm going to have to credit Leslie again for sending me a wonderful franken that she made, which was unbelievably fabulous of her!
  12. Make a speech about thanking the blogger who gave you this tag. Thank you to Leslie and Tyne for passing this on to me. They are both wonderful ladies and I love everything they do! You should check out their blogs because there is guaranteed to be something awesome on there.
I'll be back with some more polish tomorrow, I promise! It's been a busy week but never fear! I will have plenty more posts coming up soon.


You're welcome, Lady Gaga. You're welcome.




Would you care to pimp yourselves out?

Okay so I know lots of you probably have blogs, but sometimes they aren't on your Google profile and now with Disqus there are more people whose blogs I can't see, and since I always make an effort to check out the blogs of people who comment on my blog, I would love to know what all of your blogs are. So. Please leave a comment (on this post only, lol, this is a controlled pimping yourself out) with your blog address! I'll look at every single on!

Belated Thursday Post

I feel like I haven't posted in a million years! Sorry guys, I have a backlog of pictures the size of Alaska but I haven't had any time to upload them or write the posts. I promise I will try to get as much done this weekend as possible so that I can finally get it all cleared out. I've still got to post all those Shades of the Season polishes that I got in a giant tube at CVS! Remember that? It was a looong time ago... Anywho, here's the Thursday Post to tide you over.

We Are Young - fun. featuring Janelle Monae. Yes, I heard this on Glee, but this is the original version. I can't decide which I like better! It's a really awesome song. It's one of those anything-is-possible-let's-go-act-crazy songs.


This Chanel collection reminds me of candy. I want to eat it all up! I wish they would make a July one, though. It should be a beautiful ruby red.

OMG. Please tell me you almost licked your screen too when you saw this. Just... yum.

How adorable is this? I love that it's not in traditional Christmas colors, which makes it more interesting. I'll definitely try to replicate it!

I really wish I lived in a place where I could wake up to this.

*sigh* Curse my geographic location!

Seen anything interesting you'd like to share? Leave it in the comments, I'd love to know! Have a good weekend, everyone. :)



Go Texans!

I don't know if you know this (here I go again) but I LOVE football. It's so much fun to watch. I could literally watch football 24/7 and never get bored, it doesn't even have to be teams I know. But I am an ardent fan of my dear Houston Texans and the New Orleans Saints. I hope they never ever play each other, or else I'm pretty sure my heart would rip in two.

Anywho, yesterday was possibly the awesomest game ever for the Texans. I'm not sure if you're up-to-date or even really care about football drama, but I'll fill you in anyway. Our regular quarterback, Matt Schaub, got injured, so he was replaced by Matt Leinart. Leinart was in for less than one game when he got sacked and his collarbone is broken and he's out for the season. So, because there were no quarterbacks named Matt left, we must turn to TJ Yates. 

Now, nobody had any expectations of this kid. A third string quarterback winning the game? Fo realz? But they did it. TJ was freaking awesome and I am as goshdarn proud of him as I'm sure his parents are! Of course the rest of our team was amazing as usual, the defense was fantastic and Arian Foster was running like a BEAST (in the best way possible). I just wanna give 'em all a big ole hug.

All right, enough of me waxing poetic about one of the greatest teams ever. Here is the mani I did in honor of the Texans.

(hey look, I figured out how to make the pictures bigger!









This is what I did on my right hand.

For the base I did OPI Roadhouse Blues (which luckily happens to be the perfect Texans blue). On my thumb (not pictured cause it's boring) I wrote "#1" because if it's not pretty obvious by now WE ARE NUMBER ONE. On my index finger I wrote "Yates" because he deserves major credz. I also did his number, 13, on my ring finger. I thought it was pretty ironically awesome that he was lucky thirteen.


On my middle finger, I had to do the Texans logo (duh) and I just did pretty much the same design on my pinky as on my left hand. I used Essie One Of A Kind for all the red.

For all the white stuff, I used the other Kiss Nail Art Pen that the ever-wonderful Leslie sent me along with a black one. I am gonna have to get me one of these in every color under the sun because they are freaking awesome. I need a gold one to do a Saints manicure! I found that with the white one, you do have to go over the design 2-3 times to make it opaque and you need a topcoat to prevent it rubbing off, and it weirdly cracked after I put the topcoat on but it wasn't very noticeable and I don't think it affected the overall look of the design. It was so easy to use, so it's all worth it.

Anyway, this reminds me why I love freehanding so much! It was a lot of fun to do and I'm so happy with how it turned out. I'm actually going to voluntarily wear this more than one day! I might be totally sick of it tomorrow but you never know.

Anyway, I'd like to conclude what has been a rather long post by saying HECK YEAH, TEXANS.

The Thursday Post

Mansard Roof - Vampire Weekend. Although I am generally not a fan of hipster-things, I do love me some Vampire Weekend. Although I like their debut album much more than Contra, it has a different feel. I really like the bouncy, eclectic feel of it.

You may have noticed that it is snowing on my blog. That's right, SNOWING. I figured we could use a little holiday spirit up in here, so following this handy tutorial courtesy of Ice Queen's Nail Parlour, I added some lovely snowflakes. We rarely see snow down south, so I'm probably going to leave this up till around the end of February!

This is pretty awesome, and I really wish I had a use for homemade stamps! I should get into scrapbooking.

I think I need these right now. Yum!

Okay guys, I'm a little short on links this go-round. Not sure what happened! I will proceed to jack some of Larie's links.

I really am not into this look. It just looks... weird? I'm not sure I see the point or the fashion merit of partially-painted, smudged nails. Do you?

My favorite comic strip is Pearls Before Swine, and it appears that Larie is also a fan! This one may amuse you all because of the subject matter.

The Thursday Post

Roxanne - The Police. Sometimes you just need a good classic rock song, and this is it.

I love these photo galleries. There are a lot of great photos in there, but since some of you guys said it'd be easier if I just put the pictures in the post I decided to include my favorite:

Isn't that the most gorgeous thing you've ever seen? It's a ladybug covered in dew.

I am so so so excited for the shimmer part of OPI's Holland collection. They all look stunning. Then again, Fashion Polish makes everything look stunning.






This looks ridiculously awesome and also ridiculously time-consuming.

Don't see it? That's a person. Painted like a bookshelf. Mind. Blown.

Also, I went to the zoo this yesterday! Here are some pictures I took:

This meerkat was just lying on his side like this. So cute!

Isn't that a cool looking bird? Its eyes freak me out.

This monkey was SO TINY. SO CUTE.

Aww da widdle baby ewephant!

This fox was so still it looked like a statue. Look at him all curled up!

The cheetah was hard to get a picture of since it just kept pacing. Poor cheetah, I bet it wanted to run. :(

The lioness was quite majestic, she looks so regal.

This is the only decent picture I got of the panther, it was pacing like the cheetah.


I don't know what this is but I can't decide if it's hideous or adorable.

I kid you not, this monkey is green. One of the strangest monkeys I've ever seen!

LOOK. AT. HIS. TAIL. I couldn't even get it all in one shot! This monkey was so adorable, he would barely sit still and kept bothering the other monkey it was with.


Is this not the most beautiful duck you've ever seen? He reminds me of origami.

And that's all for today's Thursday Post! Don't forget to check out Larie's!
