If you’ve ever slipped on a banana then you know what the action of STREB is all about – Elizabeth Streb
Tonight the action packed slip, fall, spring, bounce, physical adventure that is STREB opens at the Herberger Theater at 8 pm COST – $5 student tickets, $10 general admission
View a video of the action from this mornings performance.
This morning nearly 800 High School student from all over the valley came to a performance.
On a “that’s creepy note” I ask why we gotta jump as opportunists on someone’s death? I found this display in a craft store. It does not name the deceased but instead says – Make a Thrilling Costume. The display has red and black duck tape and instructions on how to make a “Thrilling” jacket. They are also selling companion white glove, gem stone stickers to decorate the glove, a black hat and sunglasses. This just isn’t right.
Happy Halloween! I love Halloween. Dressing up, passing out candy and cute tricker treaters. Orange is my favorite color and I love all things pumpkin. I collected some images this past month of stuff I would use if I were throwing a Halloween Party. There will be no Halloween at the Lab5 casa this year. Sad, I know but this mama is just too busy to take it on. So instead I can think about it through pictures. Hmmm there is a lot of alcohol – maybe I need a one person party to get some drink on. Here goes . . .
STREB: BRAVE showcases beautiful bodies that engage with wild, new hardware in show-stopping pieces. There will be a rotating floor turning continuously throughout the performance. There will be no stage “front,” but instead, an array of points of view and angles of perception are altered throughout. The performers constantly will be space-shifting their positions and their actions as the ground slips out from underneath them.

Driving up the 51 the other day I saw this Motorcycle riding, freedom loving hippie cruising along with his dog riding in back. I had to risk it and take a picture. When I rolled the window down to get the shot I could hear music blasting from his radio on his bike. Flying High was playing and that dog was looking so happy! It sent my imagination off wondering where he was headed.

I am super excited for fall meaning boots, sweaters, jackets and scarves. I had to poke around at a few shops the other day and was thrilled to see the “details” on fall goodies out there. These are not things I need to buy but can add on to my own items in my current wardrobe. I encourage this for all DIYers out there. It’s time to pull out all things fall and start embellishing. Check out some of the items I will be taking inspiration from.

Fabric flowers on headbands
Fabric roses on hair accessories

The wee one has received many gifts during these two months she has been on the outside. Girls are so much fun and fun to buy for. I just had to do a post about the cute shoes she has been given that I can’t wait for her to grow into. She has so many more in boxes too that are hand me downs from the older short one. A girl can never have too many shoes really. Thank you Cheri, Sarah and Louise.
These are gold and pink - for night time dancing
These are flowered corduroy for a sunday brunch in the garden

I have to post these pretty patterned papers – I know there are a lot but I just can’t help myself. Some are from the convention in Glendale last week, some I found at Office Max, some at Michaels and some at Borders. I just can’t get enough. Several of these are from my favorite designers including Rusty Pickle, S.E.I, Basic Grey and Sassafras. I am inspired to create! Now I just have to really carve out some time to get into the studio – soon, very soon! Enjoy looking.

I was at the Renaissance Hotel in Glendale, AZ on Friday for a convention. I was totally excited by the colors at this joint. So many pretty orange goodies everywhere. The carpets were my favorite with a sort of modern twist on Art Deco. Plus this girl can’t resist all things orange and pink – makes me happy. My next post will be about the event at the Renaissance – patterned papers galore – yum! Stay tuned. For now enjoy these pics of the hotel.
