who's the shit?



Artbyrodriguez is the shit!

krispy kreme
glazed yeast donut
calories:200
fat: 12 gms
carbs: 22 gms
sugars: 10 gms
sodium: 95 mgs

I have found the healthy alternative!

i have become a little obsessed with bev’s pastry paintings. I have concocted a scene in my head of my dream kitchen, with a wall of her donut paintings, and every morning walking into said fictional kitchen, looking at the wall and saying out loud,

“NOM NOM NOM”

my son stumbling in and saying,
“good morning.”

me pointing at my wall of donuts and saying ,
“NOM NOM NOM”

i could go on, but you get the picture.

bev has lots of tasty canvases and mini paintings in her shop, cakes, cookies, candies, pomeranians with cupcakes ( I could not find the nutritional values of pomeranians on the internet) and of course, donuts.

five fluffy questions for artbyrodriguez

1) what condiment should be a staple on restaurant tables, but never is?

(oh, i hope she says donuts!)

Every restaurant table should have a bowl of icing on the table, then I can dip my bread sticks in it. I really do have a sweet tooth!

2) favorite movie?
(your real favorite movie, not the one you tell everyone is your favorite movie)

My favorite movie (and this is the truth) is GREASE. I love this movie and especially, John Travolta when he was young and skinny. (Aren't donuts cooked in grease?)

3) do you eat a lot of donuts?
*leans forward, rests chin on thumb, presses pointer finger across lips, listens intently*

Don't open my freezer because there will be an avalanche of donuts. I can't keep up with them, so I freeze them. My husband complains there is no room for other things.

4) act you'd most like to see live?
(band, comedian, psychic, infomercial guy, it doesn't matter)

The act I'd love to see live has got to be Elvis. Any sightings lately? I bet Elvis ate donut sandwiches!

5) have you ever taken a sip of your paint brush water?
(by accident of course....or on purpose )

My paintbrush water is very tempting. Sometimes it's bright red or blue or pink. Since you mentioned it, maybe I will just dunk my donut......

thanks bev :)

who's the shit?

loopyboopy's the shit!

and i will personally take on anyone who would say otherwise. oh ya, that's right, i'll go ya!
colleen's sculptures were the first that i found instantly recognizable on etsy.com ,
if you look at it and think,
"well lookie here, i don't know if i want to knock it's head off before it attacks me, or give it a bowl of soup and a toasty, warm blanket fresh out of the dryer."
then it's a loopyboopy.

I will most definitely feature loopyboopy again when my blog becomes wildly popular and gets a million hits a day because,


1) it’s my blog and I can do that if I want

B) colleen is constantly tweaking the nuances of her characters so there are always new things to see. It’s like a new shop all the time, yet always distinctly colleen.

five fluffy questions for loopyboopy

1-food guilty pleasure
(you know, the one you would rather not admit to):
A big ol plate of greasy salami and crackers that I make for myself in the evening after everyone has gone to bed. It just tastes best when I'm alone.

2-drink of choice
(don't tell me water): Well, since I can't say water..yeah right:) This really depends on the time of day. Of course that big cup of steamy coffee in the morning would be high on the list. In the evening, depending on the type of day I've had either a Corona beer or a stiff Crown Royal and Coke.

3-favorite "all in the family" character
(Gee, our old LaSalle ran great.): Yikes, this one will date ya hah? Since I was just a wee one when this show was on I remember liking Sally struthers big bouncy hair and tits, hoping I would one day grow up to be so big and beautiful.

**in my defense, all in the family was on in the background when i was writing these questions. i am actually very young, sparkly eyed and bouncy, a young sally struthers one might say.

4-favorite website
(not etsy): oohh I have many, but this is my current favorite.
http://www.strangedolls.net/index.html

5-favorite concert ever
(stadium, community hall, pub, garage, doesn't matter): This is easy. Black Flag, at this underground club in Detroit called the Hungry Brain. I remember Henry Rollins climbed
on top of the stack of speakers that was all tall as the building itself and jumped into the crowd..what a man!!

thanks colleen :)
