What is the advantage of SMALL? The best thing about small is that it keeps consuming habits in check. I love living in an environment that is zen and minimal and calming to my spirit...
What is the advantage of SMALL? CONT'D
Living small means I have to reflect long and hard on adding anything and resist the temptation to buy more stuff I don't need.
What's your favorite resource for your home?
I have a soft spot for decorative items so I would have to say ModCats (www.modcats.com). They have a great selection of unique pieces - much less cluttered than eBay and not as pricey as 1st Dibs.
What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home?
I am lucky to have floor to ceiling windows in my living room and in my bedroom, so the apartment is flooded with natural light.

The slideshow link is broken :(
No slideshows for me either *sniff*
Ditto to what above said.
Yes, the slideshow link is broken.
I really, really, would love to see the rest.
The first two pictures are great!!!
FIXED! Sorry!
Do people actually live here?
whats that poofy blue thing, I want to pet it.
um, whoa.
I can completely see a person living there - a very tidy and disciplined person. I think there is just enough personalization and it looks beautiful to my eye.
Yea! It's fixed! I love the rest of this appartment.
It looks like something from a magazine.
i loves. what shade paint in the living room? is this new construction? may i ask what building this is? gorgeous, serene apartment. just looking at the slideshow is calming!
every shot is really beautiful, and it's evident you have great taste. and still i find it difficult to love it. is it the newness of everything there? like it was the result of a shopping spree getting out of hand, resulting in that newly-purchased look. but as said, it's beautiful. but it could just use that little dust and rust to make it feel personal, warm and lived-in. still got my vote.
I'm totally drooling. Your place is fantastic. And your photos? Wow. They're so crisp.
Super double A entry! (no, I don't know this person)
Great attention to detail. Lovely mix of textures and patterns nicely complemented by the artwork. The color themes add to a refreshingly different look. Super cool.
I love this apartment. Where did you get the sofa and bed? I've been looking for something very similar for my own place.
Love the colors and all the furniture choices!
Wow, very high end looking. I really love the horse pictures above your bed.
Mmmmmm. . . . stunning use of color. Can we require contestants to list all paint colors and sources for curtains, furniture, and blue feather poufs? Like the credits in design mags (since these photos look like they could be in one!).
I too prefer a bit more homey-ness and personalization, but the colors here are FABULOUS, and it's clear that this person is a skilled editor of clutter. Congrats on a gorgeous space!
I absolutely love the bathroom, that sink is fabulous!
the bathroom is gorgeous!
love it, but a bit too cold for me.
I know that the bedding, which i LOVE, is from www.amenityhome.com, or at least it is where i first saw it. only thing at $300 is soo out of reach for me.
PS: or at least ist looks like it, im strarting to doubt it... mhmm tgif!
Beautiful! I have been dying to find round mats for photos like you have framed in the living room. Are they personal photos that you had framed, or did you buy them framed like that?
Anyone else know where to get round mats for large frames?
Wonderful, clean, uncluttered space!
Lovely, but it kinda feels like a pied a terre. I wonder if the owner has a house somewhere else? Or maybe just a great storage unit.
While it's quite tastefully decorated, most major pieces appear to be from DWR or ABC Carpet & Home - None of this (including the brand-new apartment) came cheap.
There's also no creative or innovative use of space or materials.
Would I enjoy living in this building with this quality of space and furnishings? Of course.
Does it rate a top score here? No.
::aping Thandie Newton in "Chronicles of Riddick":: ...flawless...
I love the colors in the bedroom, I was thinking of painting my kitchen like this, what was the name of the paint colors you chose?
Ditto to what aad and bepsf said. Even though I rated it cool.
I agree, the space is indeed calming, but I do wonder if the place is really that way all the time. :-)
That said, it does look a tad too new and the colors a little too serene for my tastes but it definitely works.
Innovative? Not particularly, but again, it works.
Nice job.
I love it...I guess I am easy...cause some of you are taking this veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrry serious and can find something negative to say about these brave people who have welcomed us into their homes.
FINALLY! Super Cool.
Where is that sofa from? I love the shape and color.
you definitely do monochromatic well - the living room is stellar use of color.
I'm voting super cool on this one. It's beautifully styled, and I for one don't have anything against it being immaculate; I'd expect someone to dress up for company!
Beautifully done Colleen, thank you.
your bedroom is fantastic! What a great green color!
What a shocker - everyone is drooling over the super spare, ultra-mod space. It seems sort of cold and overly edited to me. Where is the life in it?
We might as well just call this website moderntherapy. I'm sorry, but it's frustrating sometimes how people lambast someone for having an older-fashioned quilt hanging on the wall, or for using barn-style furniture, or the wrong shade of orange...and then profess their undying love for every entry resembling the interior of a spaceship.
Somebody please help me understand.
I believe the photography is from Lumas. http:www.lumas.com
Beautiful to look at. Wonderful to visit. Not for me to live in.
What subtle and elegant use of color!! One of my favorites.
So, um, when are you moving in?
This is my most favorite so far. It really matches my sense of style (or the one I wish I had). Perfect, perfect, perfect.
is that painting elliott puckette? love.
and love that drape in the first shot
I love it - but, for better or worse, it looks like a showroom more than a home. The bedroom and livingroom are stunning!
I FREAKING LOVE THIS! It has been a while since I've seen a house tour here that inspired me AND was actually attainable with a modest amount of money. It's minimal without feeling sparse, and has character without feeling cluttered. The color palette is my idea of perfection!
It isn't very warm and liveable to me but it is undeniably gorgeous. I love the artwork above table with the red chairs. That is stunning.
Clearly one of the best, and most spendy, entries. Gorgeous and serene!
Just to clarify, I am not saying that the particular pieces in this apartment are in my budget, but I can go through all of them and find an alternative that is very similar and in my price range.
Lacks wabi sabi. Very cool paint choices. Wow! Bathroom.
Super cool. A lovely, calm space that is spare and beautiful without being catalog-generic.
It does seem that the world is divided into two groups: people who like to see their personal belongings everywhere (makes a place "homey") and people who'd rather keep those things stored out of sight. Contrary to the belief of some of the posters, it's definitely possible to live without clutter if that's your style.
Especially like the bedroom.
I get the minimalist look, but don't you need some lighting? There is one wall sconce shown. How do you read a book without a lamp even by the bed? I'm guessing there is a huge pile of stuff just out of sight.
beautiful pictures. I like the use of color in this apartment.
Love. The bedroom pic popped up and out of my mouth came "Pretty!". I don't think it's cold at all. It's tidy and serene.
I think the living room and dining room are quit nice, so clean and nice simple colors with nice pieces. What color are the walls in the living room I am having troubles finding my grey.
The bedrm is a bit West Elm ad like and no lamps to read by.
Love your bathroom and bedroom. Living room a bit sterile/cold, but still nice.
wow i love that painting in your dining room!!!!
and that view :)
Predictable. I'm sure a lot of thought went into this but unfortunately the thought was probably mostly predicated on the idea that Domino is the ultimate arbiter of "good taste." It's well-executed but bland and impersonal.
I think it is time to refine the contest and drill down into categories /styles i.e. Ultra Modern, Antique, Mid Century, Eclectic and so on. I like / love many of the entries but I agree with one poster a few days ago - I am not seeing major creativity, although a lot of places I definitely like. The pictures in many cases are either not inclusive enough to see the whole apartment or may capture a lamp or table and it is out of context so it is hard to understand the space. I have been coming to this site for many moons now for inspiration and that is starting to dwindle and get repetitious. I get there are two camps - Ikea camp and Higher end camp, but not too high end but if submitters are in that category, the comments would be very negative, which I don't understand. Does Apartment Therapy have a "definition"? Is it limited to a budget / design philosophy? Its seems so to me and maybe that has to change or be more clearly stated.
I love the colors of this place and gave it a really cool.
Some comments I don't understand. Ok, so I get it that this site shows 'real' homes, but is this place less real because it doesn't have knick-knack or lot's of stuff in it? And I appreciate the effort that went into the pictures. Some entries that have been shown didn't have very good quality pictures or a good selection of pictures. I understand that not everyone can take good pictures, but I know that if I would enter my apartment I would take the time to tidy up and try to take pictures that show a lot of parts of my apartment.
Another thing I love about this apartment it's its calm and uncluttered look. I know this is not for everyone, but less then judging places based on personal style I gave high ratings to places that have a sense of unity and where the things in it work well together. And here this is done very well.
I think it's absolutely stunning in its color, pieces and detail. Though rather like a boutique hotel feel for me.
It looks like a hotel suite.
Beautiful like a painting or a snowflake: ie something you cannot touch without damaging. I can't imagine someone actually living here, and putting their feet upon the couch, leaving their toothbrush out by accident or draping their overcoat on a chair.
This is the Ockham's Razor approach to interiors - instead of attempting to accommodate a variety of real life activities into a small space, it cuts out the activities. (Or at least, all sign that they sometimes occur.) The fact that there is no task lighting, no television, no computer, no desk, no ham radio, no pencils or pens, no not pad... It is difficult to get a sense of what happens in this home, other than sleeping and sitting, and perhaps some bathing.
Love the framed calligraphy picture (that is what it is, isn't it?) and the mirrored cabinet in the bathroom; where did you get them? (I was searching for a cabinet like that...)
Agree with Millzee and Lauren T. It is beautiful, but missing some signs of life.
It's a bit like a hotel.
While I understand the individuality of taste, I don't understand why some can't simply say something doesn't appeal to them without being vicious. Being cruel does not elevate you on the "taste" or "aesthetic" scale. It only makes you seem small and spiteful. I like this home.
750 square feet for one person in New York is NOT SMALL.
there are a lot of truly beautiful elements to this space, and Colleen obviously has a good ideas and taste, but judging by her brand-new everything and undoubtedly zillion dollar apartment, She might also just have good taste in hired decorators.
I like the space but not necessarily the decor. I'll try not to be spiteful or small (is it too late?) and simply say it has no personality.
But I like the space. 700 square feet!? That's bigger than my place. Good for you. I'm glad you're a homeowner. I'm glad you're not poor. Good for you for being a home owning success in New York City.
Weasel Dearest is Mr. Dangerous
ditto, hotel, too new, too prefab. but that is one luscious and gorgeous bathroom sink. If the homeowner had anything to do with the design of that bathroom, they ought to do this for a living!
Beautiful but sort of boring. I find it hard to believe someone lives here. The eggplants on the table? Cool, but everything feels so staged and cold.
picture perfect. Yet too perfect may I say? I love it and strive to live like that - alas it will never happen as I love to watch TV, browse the internet (here for instance), read in bed, I sew a little bit and have to little yappers (dogs). My place will never look like this.
But good for you. Gorgeous magazine perfect.
The pictures are absolutely amazing. The place is breathtaking.
Money solves a lot of problems, like lack of space and having to deal with hand-me-downs and Craigslist finds. Nothing here is innovative. There is nothing here that I can adapt or adopt for my own space, present or future.
It all LOOKS OK. But it's empty.
Like one of those touched up photos, where all we see is the finished results and think that it must be PERFECT. We rarely see what goes on behind the scenes to make "perfection".
Which reminds me of this film:
Real life homes have cords and outlets and lamps and electronics. People have TVs and stereos. People have dressers and more than four books.
And from what I usually see on this site, people are looking for reasonable, realistic solutions for those everyday problems.
This place has less personality than showroom floors, and homes/condos/apartments up for sale with this being a model shown with "decorator accents".
It's the after image posted on the billboard after being tweaked by photoshop, an image of unrealistic proportions that leaves me sad and empty.
Simply because most of us do not live like that, have access to that kind of space or money or interior designers.
And even if we were all GIVEN that very place, it would not remain looking like that. Because it IS unrealistic and un-lived in and unloved.
It shows only stuff. It doesn't tell me anything about a person.
designer catalog city
Love it love it love it
There are so many spaces in this contest that I have fallen in love with and I am gleening ideas from all of them. This space is lovely and I can very easily see myself living in it.
The thing is, some people don't watch television. Some people don't read in bed. Perhaps the owner keeps her computer at work. Perhaps the apartment's light sources are mounted on the ceiling (you know... ceiling lights?) and so we cannot see them in the pictures. Maybe she prefers to keep her less interesting/beautiful possessions in the three closets in her home, or the dresser we saw in one of the photos, or another storage piece she chose not to photograph?
I am reminded of a NY house tour submitted in December of last year: Laura's Pared Down Perfection. Imagine if Laura submitted only five pictures instead of forty-one? What if we didn't see the insides of her closets, or learned that she was a professional organizer? The comments for her house tour read similarly to this submission; some people like what she has done, others refer to the apartment as humorless and "cold", simply because she prefers a particular style of decor.
Luckily for us, she was graceful enough to reply: "[I] realize this decor is not for everyone and i do appreciate all the comments - even the no sense of humor one ;). your home should be a place that you love and is true to what you think it should be and not adding things because you are 'supposed to have it' (including color). that is one thing i like about this site - it's about individual expression and doing what is right for you. i love looking at the house tours to see the wide difference in how people live with their things, their use of color and their creative stretchings of limited budgets." Further, she repeatedly answered questions posed by members of the AT community and soon they/we began to realize that it wasn't just an apartment featured in that tour, but also someone's home.
I bet Colleen is a real person too, and I would hope people remember from time to time that just because you prefer to keep stuff all over your bed, floors, etc. (or are unable to control your clutter) doesn't mean your apartment/house represents the base standard of what a real home should look like.
davidsposted: well said.
great space.
I don't understand this contest.
Points taken. You are correct, of course. Much like the first Small, Cool contest, there are a huge variety of people and all kinds of spaces adapted to the needs of those people.
I remember one person asking one contestant, "where do you eat?" There was no dining set. No countertop, no cafe table, no fold-out or pop-up table of any sort.
But, that is not what that person DOES in that apartment. They'd catch most of their meals on-the-go. What that person DID want was a great space for watching movies. And so THAT is what the space was adapted for.
Some folks here have to accommodate a serious home office, as they do their work from home. Not just a sleek laptop placed on a spendy-trendy coffee table, but serious computer set ups (did you see that image here recently of Al Gore's office...YIKES?).
There are people that are heavily into music. Or books. Or entertaining a lot of people. They have dinner parties and have adapted their spaces for the best sound, the best library (did you see the cool lofted space or that one with the books in the bathroom?) or ways of making it possible to seat 6 people in a tiny room.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this particular space is, I suppose it qualifies as eye candy. And that's an interest too. There are supermodels and autos that cost hundreds of thousands (to millions) of dollars to have their presence.
And I remember seeing someone like that, a supermodel type in a super auto, who stopped at 7-11 for a beverage. Apparently wealthy people do get thirsty too. Ha!
All us "regular" people stepped aside, gaping, not a word. It was TOO perfect for our little world of 7-11. While she was undoubtedly a REAL person, it was as if there was nothing we could say/do that could possibly relate.
We are, after all, the center of our own universe. Everything IS about us. Each one of us. It's true. So that at the end of the day, we have to consider our own needs first. Our office space or our spouse or our animal friends. Our cooking or lack of. We look to make a space our own, our home.
And each one of these entries are viewed through glasses of our own tastes, ideals, budgets, our own reality. We know that. We're not slamming someone else's tastes or needs nearly as much as we are making a statement about our own needs.
The cool throw at the end of the bed?
My cat would have that shredded, snagged, pulled, in a ball, on the floor and when tired of disemboweling it (back leg kicking), it might be peed on as the final conquering-the-throw moment.
The feather thing wouldn't last five seconds. And flowers in a vase, I have discovered, provide interesting chewing opportunities. To wit, I find a vase of stems with flower heads on the floor.
David (and Colleen), it's very hard for me to take in a space without wearing all my glasses and applying my own reality.
And I still want to know why there are no outlets. ;)
It is very beautiful, yet it seems completely impersonal, like a high-end condo hotel with the luggage is still in the hallway. It is possible to personalize a home without cluttering it.
This is NOT the Smallest BUDGET contest.
This is NOT the Coolest CAT FRIENDLY BEDSPREAD contest.
And TRUE BLUE, stop painting the AT crowd with your "regular people" brush.
And the "this looks like a hotel" complaint is sooooo three contests ago.
If this is impersonal, why does not EVERY interior, everywhere, look like this?
Highly stylized interiors, like this one, do indeed exhibit the owner's personality. And traits like discipline, neatness, and a highly curated approach to an interior are not bad traits at all. Isn't this what we aspire to, post-cure, things either lovely or useful?
I love it all, and it makes the space calm, curated, and larger than the square footage would bely.
And, if I'm not mistaken, that "high end" throw at the end of the bed is from CB2...
I'm also guessing the "stuff of life" has been successfully corralled in the rather large number for closets...
Very nice. Where did you get the sofa? I would be really curious to see the kitchen too.
There is no fantasy in it for such a large place.
No risk in design, just magazine knock offs.
from these pictures i get the impression that your life is perfect.
Seems like the photos are taken on the move-in day.
I dont see any item from Modcats in this house though (as she mentioned in the resources)!
Ha. The comments are more fun than the entry.
Bepsf - It irks me that someones home will be discounted because they buy things from major retailers. My house has a lot of stuff from DWR - mostly because I'm friends with an employee and get a lot of floor sales. Does that make my house less 'home'?
Patrick says it best: we're all different people, and no apartment is going to fit us all. Colleen would probably be extraordinarily uncomfortable in some of the cluttered thrift-store-styled places exhibited here. I probably would too.
I think Small/Cool brings out a lot of different facets of what it means to be small/cool. Sometimes it means developing OCD methods of storing and organizing your belongings. Other times it means not having lots of belongings. Both are acceptable. I think Colleen has done a stellar job of editing down to precious, jewel-like objects - the Swan chair, the calligraphy painting, the dead feathered muppet on the dresser. Imagine how much less powerful the vase of flowers by the bed would be if there were a pile of books crowding it.
And of course the place looks staged. Colleen is clearly smart enough to hide her dirty laundry from view before taking pictures for a national audience.
Holy crap art! I personally really like your space, and I especially like the art. That piece above the dining table is fantastic!
Wow - beautiful job!
I do not fault you for viewing apartments submitted for this contest "wearing all my glasses and applying my own reality". My problem with your (and others') comments on this entry is that they assume too much about the owner, to say nothing of people who browse AT, and in a rather condescending way. Colleen's style is not necessarily indicative of her budget, and as far as I know AT has not formally surveyed the average income of its regular visitors.
Further, as patrick (the other one) suggests, this contest is not the smallest, with-elements-most-readily-adaptable-to-the-widest-possible-audience contest, much less the smallest, most representative contest.
Criticism, even of the nastiest kind, goes with the territory in a contest open to public scrutiny. Don't curb it; I would only suggest you consider the implicit assumptions you make in a comment before you post it.
It seems like all the furniture was purchased at one shot from DWR (ie, the Neo sectional sofa, the Leggero bed and Leggero drawer, the Eileen Gray side table, the Jacobsen Swan chair, the Saarinen side table, etc...).
Other than the awesome artwork above the dining table, there's not much here that says anything about the owner.
I voted "Cool", but only because my own apartment could pass for this apartment's twin (same bed, same sofa, same side tables, same Swan chair)---but I actually like and wanted a minimal and slightly "anonymous" modern look.
If that was her goal, I think she succeeded in spades.
I love the colors in the bedrooms. Mind giving out details?
What is seen and UNseen can speak volumes about the owner of the space. Bravo Colleen for creating a lovely home and braving the critical masses.
If I were a sentient android, I would live here. Does compute.
Colleen, your place is brilliant!!!! This makes me want to clear out all my clutter - which I will start to do. Thank you for opening up your home, I do appreciate it. So where did you get the round mats in the LR?
Wow. Wow. I'm going to start with the only things I didn't like - the teal feather thing and the squiggle picture.
Other than that, my eye bounced around each room with delight, picking up gorgeous little details, spare beauty, touchable textures, and oh the vases. Favorites? How you framed your photos with round mats, everything about your bedroom, the elegant but funky vases, and overall the serenity you bring to each room (how did you make bright red serene?? You're amazing). Wow.
my mouth dropped when i saw the bathroom.
the place is perfect.

KATE MOSS went completely topless for her artsy inside spread in Spanish Vogue.
Check her out:
After getting kinky with Rihanna for a BDSM-esque feature in V Magazine, Kate Moss bared her "treasures" in the December issue of Spanish Vogue, which also featured her on the cover.
Johnny Depp's supermodel ex girlfriend, who is definitely not new to going topless, is seen laying seductively on a chaise lounge with just a matador's red cape over her hips and her right breast completely exposed in the racy photo.
Oh, and the matador, who seemed to be undressing, also poses with her in the photo and we're guessing you know what probably happened in the story afterwards.
Both, including Kate's cover photo in which she wore a black net over her gorgeous face to symbolize Spanish bereavement, were shot by famed photographer, Mario Testino.
What can you say about Kate's new pictorial?

Found December 29, 2012 on NFL Trade Rumors:
PLAYERS: Andy Reid, Norv Turner

TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, San Diego Chargers
Mike Florio of¬† Pro Football Talk reports that a league source has informed him that¬†current Eagles head coach Andy Reid 'Äúwants to coach the Chargers'ÄĚ next season. Both Reid and current Chargers'Äô head coach Norv Turner are expected to be done with their current teams at the end of the season. Florio adds that Reid has been lining up his¬†coaching staff before the things start heating up regarding coaching vacancies. Reid is from¬†Los Angeles and the Chargers look like one of the better rosters in terms of talent to work with, so it makes plenty of sense that he would have them high on his list. Previous reports have indicated that Reid would not have as much control over personnel matters if he were to take the Chargers job, which could end up being a good thing for him. Several coaches that have maintained that kind of control have failed over a period of time. This would allow Reid to apply his entire focus to getting the most of the team'Äôs roster.

Avigilon Selects Ogilvy Public Relations
Avigilon, a leader in high-definition and megapixel video surveillance solutions, has selected Ogilvy Public Relations (www.ogilvypr.com) as its new agency of record in the United States. Avigilon will partner with Ogilvy PR on corporate communications, thought leadership, media relations and product PR. The account will be run by the Technology Practice out of Ogilvy PR's San Francisco office.
"Avigilon is growing at such a rapid pace, gaining recognition worldwide. We are very impressed with Ogilvy PR's Technology Practice and are looking forward to partnering with them to further our presence in the US," said Angela St. Amour, communications manager for Avigilon. "We are confident that Ogilvy PR will be able to drive measurable results and greater awareness for our story of innovation and growth."
"We are very excited to work with Avigilon, a truly innovative company," said Luca Penati, managing director of Ogilvy PR's Global Technology Practice. "If you think about the tremendous benefits of HD surveillance solutions, it's hard to believe that this entire industry is still largely relying on analog. We see this as a tremendous opportunity for Avigilon and we want to help the company capitalize on that."

"Firefox 4 RC1 received a very warm welcome"Mozilla has been hard at work on the next version of Firefox for some time now. It was pushed back before, and now barring any further delays we'll see the next version of the browser early next week. If everything goes according to plan Mozilla will launch the final version of Firefox 4 on March 22. The final version would be like the recently released RC1 version which "received a very warm welcome" according to Damon Sicore of Mozilla.
Firefox 4 Final Release
If the company doesn't decide to push RC1 forward as Firefox 4 final, we'll see RC 2 soon and another release date. We should be hearing about the decision soon.
Firefox 4 brings a new UI to the browser along with significant improvements. Under the hood there's better HTML5 support, WebGL and hardware acceleration. For users there's the addition of tabs on the top of the window, app tabs and the excellent Firefox Panorama (first shown off as TabCandy).

'Galatians 5:26' by Shannon Shea
I sit at my stupidly small work table holding up my mother's gold hand mirror applying things that will eventually make me look older even though they are made to make you look younger. Unfortunately, a mirror to sit on my desk so I would have both hands free would certainly not fit in my Vernice Sfumata Prada Tote, it would be noticed while walking out of the local Target. I start with NARS Skin Smoothing Face Prep and put a little on my lips to keep them moist. Who would want to kiss someone with broken skin on their lips? Next I apply my Cle de Peu Correcteur Visage Consealer Stick in Ivory over the dark circles under my eyes due to lack of sleep. Then I cover my face and neck with Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Foundation in Porcelain Ivory. Now the cheekbones. I want them to look sharp. Sharper than razors. I should be able to cut someone's dick off with the way I make them look. I achieve this by first smearing Yves Saint Laurent Tere Saharienne Bronzing Powder in 3 Golden Sand from my ears down to where it's parallel to the corner of my mouth with my Kevyn Acoin Contour Brush then go over that slightly for some added color with Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush. Perfect. Almost. I finish my face off with M.A.C Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder/Pressed with helps keep me looking unhealthily pale. Now, eyebrows. I fill them in with a Shiseido Natural Eyebrow Pencil in Deep Brown and then shape them with my Dior Eyebrow Brush. I'm so close I'm starting to get an erection. Eyes. First the Shu Uemura Gold Eyelash Curler, then put M.A.C's Cream Color Base on my eyelids with a Suqqu Eye Shadow Brush. Lastly I use Estee Lauder's Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara.
That might have taken a while, well, longer than a while. But what you end up with is all worth it. You go through pain, you must be patient, but the result is pure pleasure. Perfection.
This is the first of Shannon Shea's writings to be shown to the general public ♡ He is currently 18, living and doing absolutely nothing in Seattle, Washington ♡ Hoping to write more in the future along with other projects that may come his way ♡ Shea is trying to love life and wishing for the best ♡ http://flavors.me/nauseous

Let's not get into why it's been so long since I posted the news. Let's just be happy that I'm back and plan for the next time I disappear for two weeks. Maybe start stocking up on Hot Pockets. Those are fun and help to pass the time.
The folks over at Lionsgate have picked up the US distribution rights to "Ritual", a new flick about a fella who finds his ex wife has murdered a stranger who happens to be connected to a dangerous cult. Semi-new director Mickey Keating leads this one and while there's no word on a release date the other territories will go up on the auction block next month at Cannes. I plan on picking up the rights to Guam. Gotta make that chedda.
Susan Surandon and Topher Grace would make the world's creepiest couple and the thought of them making love makes me throw up a little in my mouth but the good news here is that both of them have been confirmed for the cast of "The Calling" and not confirmed to be bumping uglies. The duo will play detectives who are on the hunt for a serial killer who's targeting the mentally ill. I bet their children would be adorable though. You can't argue that.
Sally Hawkins, who apparently is no relation to the smart guy in the wheelchair, is the latest name to be added to the cast of the upcoming "Godzilla" reboot. No word on what role she'll play but since she's British I assume she'll play a British doctor or maybe a British police officer. Or any of those roles without a British accent. Really I have no idea here.
"Pro-Wrestlers Vs. Zombies" is a real thing and the trailer looks a lot worse than you would expect. That's saying a lot I know.
A 64 year old woman is in hot water after she poured superglue in the eyes and ears of her 58 year old roommate. I think this was on that Betty White show right? Old people are so funny when they do zany stuff.
A Pennsylvania man is under arrest after he set his ex-girlfriends car on fire and emailed 400 of her college classmates nude photos of herself. I wonder which one she was madder about. I bet it was the nude photos thing. Unless she had a really nice car. Like a Neon or something. You can't replace those you know.
If you're planning to attend the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival this year, you should definitely check out the the so-called "First Look" screening of the Robert Rodriguez-produced, Nimrod Antal-directed action flick "Predators", a film I'm still on the proverbial fence about. Topher Grace and Adrien Brody? Really?
Speaking of Adrien Brody, talented direct Vincenzo Natali's highly-anticipated monster movie "Splice" is set to terrify audiences on June 4th. It's always nice to have a potentially nifty horror flick scheduled for a summer release.
Although I have my doubts as to whether or not this project will ever get off the ground, it would appear that Todd McFarlane is still spreading rumors that another "Spawn" film is in the works. I'm excited about the idea as much as the next nerd, but I'm not going to hold my breath. No sense setting myself up for soul-crushing disappointment.
I know I'm supposed to write something extremely witty and marginally hilarious for these articles, but the headline provided for this seemingly innocent story about a drunk driver's encounter with law enforcement officials is funny enough on its own. Trust me on this one.
Although I've seen some incredibly strange things in my lifetime, I've never accidentally stumbled across a naked woman tied to a tree. My life suddenly feels inadequate, and I am ashamed of myself. I think I need to get out more.

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Two Democrats in the Washington state Senate are abandoning their caucus and will now work with Republicans to control the chamber.
Officials said Monday that Sen. Rodney Tom of Bellevue and Sen. Tim Sheldon of Potlatch have decided to caucus with the GOP.
The new coalition will control the Senate, pushing conservative budgeting. Republicans will chair six committees, including the panel that controls the state budget. Democrats will control another six committees while the parties will co-chair three others.
One of the Republican committee chairs is Sen. Pam Roach, who was kicked out of her caucus two years ago because of accusations of mistreating staff. She was allowed back in this year during the Republican budget coup last year, but she is still barred from interacting with Senate staff.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I rode these bad boys all last season and I really love them. They are a bit on the soft side so if you ride a softer boot these are them. And as far as the fast track system goes it is the best thing they could have done to laces, no more cut fingers and soggy lace at the end of the day. Fast and easy and super adjustable to get the perfect fit. Hands down give these boots two thumbs up
Member since
Purchased last years model, cousin liked it so much I gave it to him as a late b-day gift. What did I do? Got this years again in the Grenier colorway. After going 32 AND with the FT lacing system, it's hard to look at anything else. 32 ALL DAY!

i got these boots in navy for christmas and i love them! they are super comfy (after broken in) and are easy to tighten/loosen. I went from boa's to ft's so they are not as easy as boas's but still super easy. also super light and pretty durable, all around great boot for its price.
awesome boots

bought last year's model on discount over the summer, and finally got to use them this past sunday. they were great!! totally worth the wait! super comfortable, easy to put on and warm. i'd recommend these to anyone!
32 is the BEST!
Derek Prows
Member since
These boots are super comfy. I am interested to see how they break in. The Fast Track lacing system is great. No more icy laces at the end of the day. And they give you an extra set of lacers in case yours do happen to break. If you like a nice soft boot that is also responsive go for this.
best boot on earth

this boot will make you the happiest person on earth! i got the sexton model with the rad frog graphic and the gum sole. looks and feels great! so flexible and super warm! no pressure points, it basicaly just gives your foot a nice hug. the flex on this boot its so good! i wouldnt want any other boot.
Member since
i cant seem to get mine tight around where you ankle bends and im wondering if its just because they are new... maybe when they break in they will tighten more?

Those holes along the fast track on the side..are those for the option of laces?

No, design only.

words cannot describe my love for this boot... it has just enough hold, with the perfect amount of flex. so easy to put on, just slide your foot in, and rip on the chords. done. and it adds so much room for customizing tightness. tight up top, loose down low. Will continue to buy this boot for years... keep up the good work thirty two.

Member since
Hi I was wondering if the fit for the 8 1/2 size for this is the same as the 8 1/2 for the 2008 lashed boot? I know this might be a dumb questionbut I have found that boots that say they are the same size aren't always the same
Toby Mitch
Member since
yeah good question... umm, from my experience they are relatively the same, but it also depends on your foot. for example, my foot is mega wide, so i tend to go for half a size, to a size bigger. i would say, it should be pretty close.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is taking steps to make the narcotic hydrocodone, one of the most widely prescribed medications in the country, more difficult to obtain, the Washington Post reported Feb. 15.
Hydrocodone is a painkiller and cough suppressant sold as Lortab, Vicodin, and under 200 generic brands. According to the DEA, the drug was prescribed more than 100 million times last year.
The DEA wants to move hydrocodone from Schedule III of the federal Controlled Substance Act to the more restrictive Schedule II.
"Hydrocodone is one of the most abused drugs in the nation," said Christine Sannerud, deputy chief of the drug and chemical evaluation section of the DEA. "The agency thinks it would be wise to move it to Schedule II, because that would help a lot in terms of reducing abuse and trafficking."
Doctors, pharmacists, and pain specialists said restricting the drug would place a significant burden on them and pain sufferers. The drug is used to treat serious pain from arthritis, AIDS, cancer, and chronic injuries.
"Rescheduling the drug will bring more hoops and barriers to getting access to the drugs, and it may prevent some minimal amount of abuse," said Richard Payne, president of the American Pain Society. "But my concern is that it will come at the cost of denying access to thousands of patients."
Susan Winkler of the American Pharmacists Association added, "Our members and doctors would have increased liability if hydrocodones are rescheduled, and that will inevitably reduce prescribing. We urge the DEA to make sure their decision is based on science and will make the situation better, not worse."
The DEA action is part of a comprehensive campaign to address the issue of prescription-drug misuse.

Things are heating up in the bid for sports fans to win over football star Peyton Manning. Nashville is pulling out all the stops to try and convince him to join the Titans – even enlisting country music superstar Martina McBride in an ESPN pitch to try and get Peyton to return to Music City. He even has an open invitation from the Grand Ole Opry to have a reserved VIP parking space and a performance spot on the historic stage! I'm not sure what other cities can compete with that.
See what else Nashville will do if the star returns home, and see how Martina tried to put on the charm, including voice lessons, if Peyton becomes a Titan in this video.

Curt Schilling's 38 Studios Licenses Unreal Engine 338 Studios announced today that it has licensed Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 middleware for use in the development of its upcoming MMO project.
The studio, founded by Boston Red Sox pitcher and avid MMO fan Curt Schilling, is currently developing the title with the help of Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and fantasy author R. A. Salvatore. The game is expected to ship in 2010.
Few details have been released concerning the game, but 38 Studios has noted that the MMO is part of a greater project based around a single original intellectual property, which is said to encompass multiple media forms beyond the MMO.
38 Studios also recently announced that it had licensed the BigWorld Technology Suite for the game's backend, server-side capabilities. Other licensees of the middleware include John Romero's studio Slipgate Ironworks and Lunar creator Game Arts.

Pray for either good Khorium spawn RNG in the Outlands (seriously, Blizzard should add a transmute to alchemy already, every other rare ore has one!) or pray for some unsuspecting sap to post some on the auction house. Or, and this is the more likely avenue, expect to pay a couple hundred gold for each khorium bar you do find and grudgingly turn them into your awesome turbo-charged gyrocopter.

Phillies broadcasters don't measure up
While I am glad baseball season is here, it brings with it one drawback...the Phillies TV announcers.
We in the Delaware Valley were spoiled for many years with Harry Kalas...but when he passed away in 2009, the Phillies missed the boat big-time by elevating Tom McCarthy to be the TV play-by-play man.
If you have listened to McCarthy and Chris Wheeler for any length of time, you probably have heard many of the things I've heard....most of the inadequacies falling on McCarthy. (Wheeler merely just annoys me with his seeming "I know everything about baseball" attitude).
Here are McCarthy's major shortcomings...number one on the list, he can't pronounce Phillies. That's right, he can't pronounce the name of the team he covers. An inability to say the letter "L" in the middle of a word, it comes out, every time, as Phiwwies. Are you kidding me...you hire a guy who can't pronounce the team name?
In that same vein, he can't pronounce the word available, which is problematic since there are numerous times he's required to say "tickets are still available". It comes out "avaiwable."
On top of that, his goofy on-camera questions posed for Gary Matthews get annoying...just do the play-by-play (which, by the way, he isn't all that bad at if he sticks to the pbp).
My question for the Phillies front office is...how do you continue to employ someone who can't pronounce the team name? Or do you not hear that? Or do you not want to admit you made a mistake?
I can understand why Wheeler is still around. While he adds little to the broadcast, he is a long-time Phillies employee and loyalty is important. But the Phillies missed the boat on the play-by-play man. The year after the Phillies win the World Series and Harry passes away, you would think they could have plucked a big-time, quality play-by-play man to succeed Kalas...but they went cheap and it shows.
The good news is the Phillies radio team of Scott Frantzke and Larry Anderson are very good...let's hope the Phillies brass doesn't realize how much better they are than McCarthy, Wheeler and Sarge...we can always turn the sound down on the TV and watch with the WDEL on...or even with no sound...just act like you're at the ballpark.

The great thing about listening to the Phillies or the Eagles on the radio is you can do something else while enjoying the game. With TV, you have to sit there and watch it. I realize I'm in the minority, but its just hard to sit there that long and watch. So for me, Radio is king for hearing my favorite sports teams, so WDEL gets my ear for the Phils and the Eagles.

I have never liked Wheels since I learned he fought long and hard to have Whitey thrown off the team, with himself as the replacement. As for the radio team, they often think they are on radio. I have listened for up to 20 minutes before ever hearing the score. No folks, the score is not on a screen in front of me while I am driving at high speed on I-495. Both broadcast teams are very inadequate.

What these guys never learned from Harry (and the other greats like Vin Scully, Jack Buck and Red Barber) is that on TV you do not need to talk all the time - the game, the pictures and the crowd tells much of the story. Tom McCarthy is competent but talks too much, I'm in the "Wheels is ok" camp because he does know the game and speaks intelligently about situations, but again talks too much (how many times can you say 'no doubles defense' in the late innings? And Sarge - good lord, Captain Obvious adds nothing to the game. You're right Scott, let's hope they never take Scott and L.A. off the radio side.

Climbs like a hardtail! Total dream in rockgardens. Tires supple and resistant to cuts on knife-edge ledges.
Utah sucks. Don't move here. The riding is terrible. And the scenery blows.
Sidenote: I'm just going to rename tumblr to "Dogma2 sitting on rocks in epic locales".
Sidenote 2: Dear girl who told me she loved Pinarello Dogmas at Tony Grove lake this afternoon while I was too busy shoveling the last of my gummy treats into my calorie-deprived cakehole (and taking above photograph) to comprehend: Please cross my path again. Please? Thanks.
The Weekday Ride - by popular demand.
Afflicted by permanent wanderlust, I've opted to spend the three weeks between the end of Speedweek and the US Professional Cycling Championships in Greenville, SC at the welcoming abode of one of our team's gracious supporters just outside of Athens, GA (home of the University of Georgia, the infamous Athens Twilight Criterium, and launchpad for numerous American cyclists).
Having never been to this part of the country before (read: The Deep & Dirty South), I'm still taking it all in and gulping it all down, like a UGA freshman frat pledge doing a manhood-validating kegstand.
First on my list of dispensable observations to expound to the outside world: The riding itself. I've never trained anywhere with population so spread out, and so my road choice has always been pretty limited. Here, though, there are roads FOREVER. I could easily create a 300 mile loop on twisty backroads that all look the same from the front door of my temporary domicile. Of course, this necessitates a cue sheet a mile long (yeah, that one was front AND back for a 4.5 hour jaunt) to keep from ending up bassackwards 200 miles away on the coast. While there's no sustained climbing near Athens, the rollers of the Piedmont offer up spots for good, punchy accelerations on endless repetition of 500 meter-long Murs. Roads are fairly narrow and without the wide shoulders I'm used to, but they're in really good condition (thanks to the lack of freezing temps in the winter, I'd guess) and typically devoid of traffic. The dirt roads are a blast! Well-packed, and not moondusty or gravel-strewn like the ones near my home in Utah.
The "store stops" here are nearly always entertaining - it seems the locals aren't as used to seeing cyclists on long rides as they are in the West. I can always count on getting into an amiable conversation with store proprietors about expensive bikes, bike racing, the insanity of spending five hours perched on two wheels, and suspicious questions when informed of my Utah residence.
Speaking of, the church marquees in front of Baptist houses of worship on the backroads are nothing short of comedic gold. I think I might start photographing all of them and making a nice leather-bound photo essay when I get back to the Wasatch.
Fantastic weekend! Little bit of local stage racing, little bit of cruising with my progenitor masquerading as Alejandro Valverde 20 years removed from racing (bonus: I think he likes my Dogma), little bit of ice cream, corned beef, and burgers, little bit of mashing for four hours on Sunday.
From the Friday mailbag:
How did you get hooked up with the CC team?
Long story. Kind of. I started working at RealCyclist (CC's future owners) in November of 2010 putting ordered bikes together in the shop, as well as doing a lot of warehouse logistical fun. Shortly thereafter RealCyclist sponsored the team, and I met Gord when he took a tour of our warehouse sometime in the winter (though I doubt he remembers - he commented on my UHC team shirt and I got some warm fuzzies). Fast-forward a few months, and I'd embarked upon my overly ambitious season-long Cat 5-to-1 campaign. I'd also transferred over to doing bike photography for BC, giving me a lot more latitude when it came to bailing out of work to race.
Anyway, I first met RealCyclist's athelete sponsorship/cat herding guy, Jonny Atencio, in April at Gila where I was riding in the 3's (and would eventually take second in the GC). He was a little confused when I begged him for some team kit to give to my New Mexico housing host, but chucked some lycra/beer coozies my way and patted me on the head. I tried to remain in contact with him on an intermittent basis (read: I'd email and beg him for stuff) throughout the season, as we worked in different offices.
Enter early August, right before the 2011 Tour of Utah. Fresh off winning the Cat 2 GC at Cascade and a local stage race, I headed up to DealerCamp in Park City for work and free margaritas. Serendipitously, the then-RealCyclist.com Pro Team was there, meeting sponsors and mingling with the kind-of public. It was there that I met one of the team owners, Jason Kriel, and I asked the rather baldfaced question: "Is there a chance I could ride with you guys next year?". He asked me to send him a resume, and I wormed my way into going out for a four-hour ride with the team the day after (for the locals: The PC/Guardsman/Emigration/Parley's loop), a nice 2000 meter, 115km day.
During the ride, we got to talking about the weekend's upcoming Utah State Championship road race, and myself/Evan Hyde (then Park City resident and team member) managed to con Rabou and Paco into doing it. Coincidentally, my parents live in the town near where the race is held, about 150km from Salt Lake - built in host housing for the crew of four (sidenote: also where I'd find myself the following spring)! The race ended up going 1/2/3 RC, with my ass dragging up 4th. By nature of elite amateur competition, I was awarded the state championship.
The Tour of Utah came and went, Backcountry/RealCyclist fulfilled my dreams of shooting bikes like Competitive by buying them, and the days went on. Enter October (I think), and I got a message from Jason: "You want a spot?". I had to contain the news for a few weeks, and was a little on the verge of exploding into a bludgeoned pinata of joy for awhile.
So, there's the novella. Connor Bondlow over at ROAD Magazine did a far more eloquent job of detailing things in the May issue (free digital subscription).
Rest week top-offs, and bourbon lemon French toast for Easter brek. Life is good.
The new residence has PILES of big dirt roads to shred - something felt right about thrashing my Dogma 2 with (admirably performing) 23c tires on some pretty sketch loose-over-hard doubletrack the day before PR.
Remember: CO2 is for rich people, and frame pumps make excellent billyclubs in a pinch.
Achieving Crash Zen:
Seven race days.
Four deck hits. As a sage told me, "missing more skin than many hospitalized burn victims".
All of 2011? 60+ race days. Skin met tarmac twice.
Always learning.
#SDSR lead-up.
2012 Competitive Cyclist Racing Team camp is over.
I pen my missive from the lowly "A" terminal of the humble TUS (realworld name: Tucson International Airport). Our stalwart Uruguay squad has departed on their 24-hour slog to South America, leaving the intrepid T. Shelden and I behind to fend for ourselves at the airport bar.
The past week has been a rush of unmodulated (and varying) emotions, not unlike that of a stage race; though lacking the intense competitive adrenaline rush usually accompanying said events. While the ephemeral euphoria I felt when I first received word I was being offered a contract has long passed, the whole "riding-your-bike-for-a-living" mentality hasn't set in until now. A needed refocusing of priorities has taken place in the past week, likely thanks to the close proximity of compatriots and mentors on the squad.
I feel incredibly lucky, not only to be riding as a pro, but to be riding as a pro on this team. I've said it before, but there's really no better outfit for a (very) new racer such as myself. The veterans on the team, and there are a ton for an American Conti squad, are VERY willing to share their experience with the younger guys such as myself. This is nothing short of gold. Even though I'm a relative grain of sand in the cycling world (racing with veritable sandcastles like Mancebo, Grajales, Beyer, Olheiser, and Fraser), their adeptness with lending advice and critique makes me feel like part of the team. The inclusiveness of the whole crew is something I wasn't prepared for, and it makes me feel right at home.
In addition to having a deep well of human talent to draw from, we're also incredibly lucky to be rolling on the best equipment in the UCI Continental game (and, dare I say, Pro Continental). A true "A-List" of sponsors, from the Pinarello bikes to the Chamois Butter/Paceline skin products. The simple fact that I don't have to worry about equipment this year is a three-ton weight off my shoulders (the same could probably be said for my industry friends and colleagues who put up with my incessant begging last season). At the start of 2011, I was rolling on a too-big aluminum frame I'd snagged from eBay for somewhere under $100, outfitted with a free group that had been run into the ground, and "race" wheels I rode everyday, sourced from the returns bin at work with a vaunted Backcountry "schwag" ticket. The rear rim was cracked until month two of the season, when I finally convinced a certain warranty department that selling me a crash replacement was the only way to save me from…myself.
Equipment aside, other aspects of camp provided both a physical relief and bludgeoning. I might accuse the week of being a "buffet party" (I wouldn't be shocked if I gained a pound or two thanks to the infatigable Leigh's phenomenal culinary labours), but by the last day I was feeling the compiled physiological effects of throwing down with an internationally-acclaimed crew. Or maybe it was the twin bed and snoringDutchman. Either way, even the coffee from Competitive (via Silver Bean, an SLC roaster co-owned quite ironically by the guy who owned the shop I was an on-and-off shop rat for in high school) couldn't rouse my heartrate beyond the depths of threshold by the end. It hit me on return: This team is strong and incredibly deep.
Not to toot our own horn, but I think a certain Nikita Khrushchev quote might be in order, especially after witnessing Mike Olheiser absolutely crush the first stage of the first team race (and his first pro race - HELL YEAH MIKE!) of the year in Uruguay with a 50k solo win.
3.5 weeks to San Dimas.
Is no longer steel. I'm a little young to have sampled the frames Pinarello chiseled from the earth's crust for Der Kaiser, but I now understand what riders talk about when they say "…it's a Pina," and reference their Torayca-laid wunderbikes.
I'll admit, I used to be a bit of a hater. "Oh, nearly all carbon frames ride the same", I'd preach, whenever consulted about the purported dream-like quality of the newer Pinarellos. Of course, I'd never had a real chance to swing a leg over one. Now, thanks to their generous sponsorship of the Competitive Cyclist Racing Team, I can finally sample the bikes many only get to fantasize about.
Down to brass tacks. This frame is a mind-blower. My first time on it, with too-big bars and stem, it was still an epic experience. Stepping on the cranks provides razor-sharp response from the bike, but without the feeling of being beaten around on the pavement. It's not mushy like a lot of carbon bikes - I've never once looked back at my rear wheel thinking I've got a flat. No waifish chainstays here. From the front end, the massive 1.5" tapered headtube and fork steerer rail corners with nary a hint of flex.
The bike strikes a perfect balance, in my opinion, between all the polar qualities of a superb all-around race bike. The geometry is incredibly well-balanced. It's stable on descents and when taking a no-handed feed, but not to the point of feeling slow in corners or in the pack. It's comfortable over the long haul, but not comfortable enough that you lose road feedback or stiffness. The fit and finish is second-to-none…I often find myself gazing at the bass-boat silver paint accents and getting a little lost. I honestly can't think of a better bike for us to be on this year.
I know it's been a mellow winter when I see a forecast of 45 with a 50% chance of snow and opt to spend my day on the trainer instead of outside. Hey, at least it'll help out my Chilblains (aka "Warehouse Trenchfoot"), yeah?
Yes, I am still alive - still riding. Shooting pretty pictures of beautiful bikes (read: working) takes a certain creative (and mental) toll that I still haven't figured out how to mitigate coupled with training; at least when it comes to devoting my energies elsewhere. Like writing a blog entry, cleaning my house, getting an oil change, finding a "nice girl" (thanks, grandma), or maybe trimming the mane.
Enough bitching about my favorite hashtag. Life is good - I am, after all, riding my bike for a career. In that vein, I recently got hooked up with both a new laptop and new bike, both of which I'll profile (yes, the Dogma 2 is amazing) a touch in an upcoming update. I'd commit to tomorrow, but I've been studiously counseled on "underpromise, overdeliver" at the nth degree, so I'll let that hang.
In any case, I'll be jetting down to Tucson in three days to hook up with the team for a week of basking, bonding, and battering some pedals (as well as shooting with a borrowed Hasselblad). Excited to shut off the half of my brain that worries about work for fourteen hours a day, see the guys I know, meet those I haven't, and put myself into knowledge sponge mode for a week. I've got a lot to learn.

Servicing the Public Debt: The Role of Expectations
AbstractThe author studies models in which debt repudiation, openly or through inflation, is possible. The government maximizes the utility of the representative individual, and the author focuses on n o-precommitment equilibria of the Barro-Gordon type. He shows cases i n which the existence of government bonds generate multiple perfect-f oresight equilibria. However, price indexation and/or interest-rate c eilings are shown to be possible solutions of the equilibrium multipl icity problem. Copyright 1988 by American Economic Association.
