Hello, my name is Katie, and I am a spooky town addict. I love, love, loooooove all things spooky. I use the term “spooky” and not “scary,” because truth be told, I’m not into the major jump scares and screams rooted in the depths of hell, so much as I like to be thoroughly creeped…
a fairy tale (and new red lipstick) for valentine’s day
Allow me, dear reader, to impart upon you a fairy tale: A weary princess – nay, queen – stumbles wearily through the village, merely fulfilling the obligations of her kingdom. In this case, her kingdom of skincare, a domicile fraught with violent history but has seemed to finally reach its period of peace and prosperity….
what my grandma told my grandpap before they got married:
“I don’t work and I don’t wear cheap clothes.” ****
things that make you go “ahhhh”
The other day I saw a tweet that stuck with me so hard, I had to just get some thoughts down about it: Whewweeee. There has been a lot since my trip to LA (life-changing) that has been a sort of urging from the universe that I have to, in a sense, get my shit…
rubber bands
I am trying to figure out how to transport a chicken stew – just enough liquid to incite disaster – to my parents’. It’s a thank you for watching my ornery cat for the life-changing two weeks while I was in LA, or maybe a thank you for permitting me a life-changing experience, I’m not…
a tidbit (teaching 1)
We were all sharing our Halloween costumes. “Miss Piggy,” said one little girl (I thought, anyway). “Oh!” I exclaimed, “Miss Piggy! I love Miss Piggy! That’s so fun, what a great costume!” “No,” said the little girl firmly, shaking her head and looking at me with a level of derision usually reserved for clerks in…
a glimpse (men seeing you)
A friend was visiting Brooklyn so we went to the bar down the street, which featured a band that was from down the street too. Six or seven tables were in front of them, three or four condensation-covered drink remnants on top of those, and someone cheeky drifting around in the middle of it all….
a snippet (acting class 1)
Once when I was doing a scene in an acting class in college, the teacher stopped us in the middle, waving her arms around. “KATIE!” she shouted, approximately four feet from me and eager to get my attention in a room she’d just silenced. Then, dropping down to standard volume: ” . . . Do…
the ever-changing mantra
Hey all! So, I am currently on vacation in LA, and I’ve been pondering this post for a few weeks and decided this was a good time to type it all down – with the birds chirping, a sunburn from too much fun in the first couple of days, and a low-level of anxiety that’s…
the acme of acne
While I’ve drifted from its original purpose, this blog was, as its point of creation, intended to be a place where I deposited each and every one of my thoughts regarding what the hell I was putting on my face. I have tried . . . so many . . . beauty products it’s difficult…
