*Girly ramble warning*
I was slightly skeptical when I allowed myself to spend $14 on nail polish, but after just using it: oh my god, new favorite brand! I only needed one coat, which has never happened in the 20 plus years I’ve been using nail polish! And this stuff is free of the typical creepy chemicals found in most polishes. Also fun Britishy color names like Snog, Queen Vic and Artful Dodger. :)

This song (and dance scene) was in at least one of my dreams last. And I think it was a dream about work, which has been full of particularly frustrating politics lately. It’s definitely time to go back to school…

Just came in the mail: The Two Man Gentlemen Band’s newest album!! And a signed test pressing of that album! :D
Poster art: Batiste Madalena edition (via)
Up until the 1950s, many movie theaters rejected the mass-produced, lithographed film posters designed and distributed by Hollywood studios in favor of original, hand-painted posters created by local artists.
During the 1920s, Batiste Madalena was the resident artist at the Eastman Theatre in Rochester, NY., where he designed and hand-painted about eight original posters per week. Madalena, who is considered the greatest poster painter of the period, was given full artistic control, with the only directive from his boss being that the posters had to be clearly visible to passengers on passing trolley cars.
More examples of Madalena’s work here.
Want them all.
