'Bridesmaids' tales
Here are some of the "Bridesmaids" contest entries. I tried to vague up some of the ones that were too identifiable. Enjoy.
I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding a few summers ago. For the first time I was wearing a bridemaid dress that I could actually wear again! Unfortunately for me the zipper wouldn't budge past the bustline and I had to be sewn into it. A chocolate brown dress with bright white stitching! At the end of the night I had to be cut out of it, which was beyond embarrassing since I took a groomsman back to my room! Needless to say, I was unable to wear the dress again ... and I never heard from the groomsman either.
I am not the bridesmaid type. I hate big weddings and this particular wedding involved a friend marrying a guy no one really liked. I tried valiantly to politely decline by pointing out all of my bridesmaid shortcomings, but it didn't work. After the ceremony, we had to take pictures. It was misting and about 45 degrees. We were being screamed at to SMILE. I later sold the entire ensemble online to some other poor bridesmaid. I happened to tell the bride and she was offended that I didn't keep the outfit – "If I had known that, I never would have asked you to be in my wedding." If only I had known it would have been so simple!!
Last year, my fiancé and I attended the wedding of one of my family members. I decided it would only be fair to warn my fiancé that my family has one wedding tradition: shoe shots. If you've never heard of it, one of the lasts toasts of the evening, you are required to drink out of the heel of your shoe. The idea has thoroughly disgusted my fiancé. As tradition, my uncle toasted the happy couple near the end of the night, and everyone, except for my fiancé took off a shoe and sipped wine and sweat out of their heels. Not too much later, this uncle ran into my fiancé on the way to the bathroom and insisted that he take a shot ... out of my uncle's rented tuxedo shoe. After that, I'm glad he still will marry me.
Recently, I went to my very Catholic college roommate's wedding. I was unfamiliar with the town, so I showed up late. With an uninvited guest. Dressed very differently from everyone else at the giant church. When I got there, the heavy oak doors were shut, and I made so much noise going in that several women gave me the stink eye. My guest refused to do the standing and sitting during the Mass, we avoided eye contact with our neighbors during the "Peace be with you" segment, and hurried to the reception for booze before anyone else could get there. I stayed long enough for one cocktail and to chat with the bride, who seemed to be on muscle relaxants or something (remember the sister from "Sixteen Candles"?) and called my guest the wrong name. Happy marriage!
I was in wedding from hell a long time ago (hey, weren't we all?). After the bride stomped around most of the morning avowing, "It's MY day," most of the bridesmaids needed a LOT of liquor to wash that ick off us. The bride's family had rented a couple of stretch limos for us to ride around in after the reception. My co-conspirator and fellow bridesmaid and I managed to snag a stretch limo for our trip. Since it was a warm night, we had the windows open. I toasted fellow travelers with my glass out the window and declared, "Yes, we live like this every day." I guess it was a little too provocative, because the car next to us was so busy staring they smacked into the car in front of them. We felt kind of bad, but actually, we just laughed and left.
The summer after college, my best friend married her high school sweetheart. She asked me to be a bridesmaid, and of course I accepted. My friend grew up in a very rural area and had the wedding in her parents' backyard. Growing up as a city girl, I always felt worlds away during visits to her hometown. But they completely transformed their land for this special occasion. They removed the shooting range and covered up the ATV tracks. But as they say, you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. While waiting for the men to get ready for the rehearsal dinner, us ladies broke out the Bud Lite, and before I knew it, I was racing the bride out in the pasture -- she in a golf cart, me on a John Deere tractor!
When one of my family members got married, his wife was nervous on the day of the
wedding. To quell her jitters, she decided that drinking would do the trick … starting at 9 a.m.. The ceremony was at 5 pm. At the wedding, she comes down the aisle, and doesn't look so good. My family member – the groom -- is teary and happy with the sight of his bride, yet I couldn't help but notice that she was swaying back and forth during the vows. All I could think of was the wedding in "Sixteen Candles." She continues drinking in the limo on the way to the reception, and then falls out of the limo upon arrival. After pictures, she walks into cocktail hour, and yells to everyone that she needs to go to the bathroom and that her bridesmaids better come with her so they can hold up her
dress. It only got better from there.
1) I got in trouble with one family member for getting (classy!) silver flip-flops when the only instruction was to get silver shoes. Everyone else got heels. I caught the bouquet at that wedding. 2) A different family member got married to a woman who is an avid hunter. The pictures show all of us guests holding guns (think Annie Oakley, not Charlie's Angels). I caught the bouquet at that wedding, too.
Last summer I had six weddings to attend. When I got the date for the sixth wedding, it turned out that I was already in a wedding that weekend. Since the horse had already left the barn, I sent the bride an apologetic email saying that although I really wanted to, I couldn't participate. As a testament to my bridesmaid-ing skills (or perhaps our friendship), she moved the wedding. And aside from the good-natured taunts of my fellow bridesmaids about being enough of a diva to "demand" a BRIDE move her wedding, everyone had a great time and the weather was fantastic. Also, it was overcast and gross on the day she was supposed to get married so I like to take credit for all the good lighting in the pictures.

No, its Comodo with Dragon. Why would you even think that, thats a dumb idea .
This probably isn't even news to most of you. And normally a new chromium browser wouldn't be much of a big deal considering all the ones we currently have, but this is the second Chromium browser to be supported by a major company (Google obviously being the first), and I have generally come to trust Comodo for quality and security (all that eula stuff has passed, they took care of it). I used to use SRWare Iron as my "secure" browser, but I'm thinking about switching. As expected, Comodo's is touting Dragon's security as its main feature, and it has such features as a built in script blocker and by default blocks all tracking cookies. Dragon of course supports all of Google Chrome's extensions, and, as a nice feature that most other chromium browsers don't have, supports the app marketplace too.
Now for the cons: Its ugly. "But Pwnana, with such a cool logo it must have a cool UI!" Nope, its just blocky and reminds me of Yahoo browser. Luckily, the ugly browser buttons can be replaced in a theme, but not all themes play well with Dragon, and you can't do anything about the blocky tabs.
All in all, I will keep an eye on dragon. The great thing about Chromium browsers is that they are mostly user supported and developed, so any content created for one browser works in others, so theres not much to be expected feature-wise from dragon.
As an odd aside, when I first opened Dragon from the installation dialog the Iron icon lit up like it was open (Win7), and seemed to act for Dragon. Normally this could be understandable, as there is only 1 installation of webkit on any computer, so it could have just mixed up which program was supposed to open webkit. But Iron is currently portable, not installed O_o. Weird.

MOSCOWMesmerising I discovered Moscow's beauty when I went there six years ago. There's something intriguing about this city. It is very different from other European cities. Slice of HistoryIt was like going back in time. People are warm as their fur coats and like everything Indian, particularly films (Raj Kapoor's "Mera joota hai Japani" was a rage there). If history fascinates you, Moscow is the place to be. Chilling outDressed in pure white , Moscow is at its best in winter. Moscow is a shopper's delight. The finest brands are available here. I left the place with a suitcase full of shoes and clothes. Not a tantalising spreadFood was a major problem. Most people can't speak English and the menu cards are in Russian too! I went without food for almost an entire day. Finally, I headed straight to the hotel kitchen to help myself with some bread and cheese. Yet nothing can lessen my love for Moscow.

Interim Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov ordered the withdrawal of armed forces from Crimea Monday, citing Russian threats to the lives of military staff and their families.
Russian troops have seized most of Ukraine's bases in the peninsula, including a naval base at Feodosia on Monday. Russia annexed Crimea last week after a controversial referendum that Ukraine and the West say was illegal.
"The acting President of Ukraine has given an order to the Ukraine Defense Ministry for the withdrawal of all Ukrainian forces from Crimea," a spokeswoman for Turchynov told CNN. The soldiers' families will be evacuated as well.
Earlier, Russian troops stormed and seized the Ukrainian naval base in Feodosia, a port in Crimea, a Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman said. Witnesses said several Mi-24 and Mi-8 helicopters were involved in the raid. Between 60 and 80 Ukrainian troops were captured and taken from the base, said Vladislav Seleznev, a Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman in Crimea.
What is Russia's next move? NATO concerned about Russian buildup
Ukrainians had said they would leave the base if they were allowed to take their weapons with them.
Russian forces consolidated their control of the Black Sea peninsula over the weekend.
On Saturday, six Russian special forces armored personnel carriers broke through the gates of Belbek air base, firing warning shots into the air. In separate incidents, pro-Russian self-defense forces stormed the Novofederoskoe military base as well as a Ukrainian ship, the Slavutych.
On a trip to Crimea Monday, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu appointed Rear Adm. Denis Berezovsky deputy commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Russia's ITAR-Tass reported. That fleet is based in the Crimean city of Sevastopol, making it strategically important to Moscow.
Shoigu also met with former Ukrainian military personnel, who are now willing to serve in the Russian army, state news agency RIA-Novosti reported.

Jim DeNoyer isn't the original live-action Fan Man. Think of him as playing Dean Cain to the George Reeves who started the business back in the late '70s. DeNoyer didn't don the tights and cape until 1994, when he bought the business. Now The Fan Man carries more than 400 antique, restored and reproduction fans in his modest Lakewood shop. A reproduced 1912 Gyro fan goes for $2,500. A restored 1930s-era metal-blade desk fan might run $300. And The Fan Man is one of the few people in the entire country to whom you want to bring your old-fashioned fan for restoration. He is truly a man of steel.

Following the death of the villainous Garrosh, a wild celebration is happening all throughout Org. The camera zooms in on select groups. Lor'themar, Vol'jin, and Varian are all drinking together, patting each other on the back and commemorating each other on their badassery. Sunwalker Dezco and Baine are both smashed, lampshades hanging from their horns as a crowd of dwarves throws them more alcohol. General Nazgrim and Admiral Taylor, having fought side by side in the Siege, are now bros and are together picking up chicks of all different races. Anduin is passed out on the ground next to Muradin, who snuck him a few ales. The camera goes throughout the city, showing that the two factions have come together in celebration, tossing aside their old hatreds for at least one night. It shows that even Jaina finds it in her to celebrate, with her shyly going up to Aethas and going "Yo, we cool?" and him going "Yeah, we're cool" before the two of them going off to get hammered with Vaneesa. Thrall also joins them.
Then the camera pans over to one person who doesn't join in on the celebrations, instead sitting in the shadows, out of sight. The person stares off into space, before a skeletal hand slowly reaches into her pocket and takes out a picture. The Undead Rogue stares at it for a few seconds before softly whispering "Riko..."
She puts the picture down, and the camera zooms in on it. It shows Shademaster Kiryn helping a Hozen into a suit of armor, which is comically oversized for him. Her dead eyes glisten in the photo, and her decaying jaw had actually worked itself into a grin.
The camera pans back to look at Kiryn, who gazes up at all the celebration going on. A single slimy, green tear falls from her eyes.
Suddenly, the camera shifts back to the crowd as a noise is heard above the roar of the celebrators. Everyone quiets down, and it's recognized as a Hozen battle cry. A shout of "I'M BACK, WIKKETS!" is heard, and a lone Hozen suddenly flies into the middle of the party on a Pandaren kite. Everyone looks confused, with many people feeling that they know who this Hozen is, but they just can't figure out his name. Then, out of the shadows, a soft whisper is heard. "... Riko?"
The crowd looks over as the camera pans to the Rogue who has now made her way out of the shadows. She takes a few stops closer, before asking "Riko? Is... is it really you?" The Hozen stares at her for a few seconds, before slowly grinning and saying, "The dooking same, dead face."
With a shriek of joy, Kiryn runs toward Riko who, upon her reaching him, leaps into her arms. They spin in circles for a while, before stopping and looking at one another. Slowly, Riko removes Kiryn's bandit mask, before saying "You're still the prettiest dooking lady I know, dead face and all." Kiryn spills another slimy green tear as the two slowly lean forward, until their lips are pressing against one another.
There's a hush in the crowd. Then, Varian slowly stands up and begins to clap. Lor'themar and Vol'jin soon join in, followed by Dezco and Baine, and slowly but surely the entire crowd is clapping wildly and cheering. The races all come together. Blood Elves hug Night Elves. Trolls fist bump Dwarves. Goblins and Gnomes set off fireworks. Worgen and Undead shake hands. Orcs and Humans high five. Draenei and Tauren clap their horns together. Pandaren of both factions embrace each other in brotherhood.
As their kiss ends, Kiryn and Riko collapse in each other's arms, oblivious to everything but one another. Then, from over Kiryn's shoulder, Riko sees the Player and a opposite faction counterpart. Both of them slowly nod at Riko, who nods back. No words are needed.
The camera shows the two of them, then across the crowd once again, before panning up as fireworks burst across the sky.

text: Shocker: Wichita State Coach Tells ESPN He Admires Charles Koch Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 20 Mar 2014 post a comment Wichita State owning an undefeated record on the eve of the NCAA basketball tournament shocks a lot of people outside of the Missouri Valley Conference. Coach Gregg Marshall's confession to ESPN that the man he admires most is the co-founder of the Cato Institute and boogeyman to MSNBC viewers surely raised a few eyebrows in Bristol. "He's a Wichitan who owns the second-largest privately owned company," Marshall explained. "He and his brother [David] are tied for the fourth-richest man in America, and he's done it with great integrity and commitment to the community. He's incredibly brilliant." He also paid for the Shockers' basketball arena, which may help explain Marshall's appreciation for the billionaire. Koch, a supporter of the Tea Party, has donated more than $100 million to conservative and libertarian causes, providing money for the Heritage Foundation, Institute for Humane Studies, and Americans for prosperity. Koch, who has bankrolled many non-political philanthropic endeavors, like the Wichita basketball arena, has nevertheless endured abuse from those who do not share his small-government political outlook. Harry Reid complained in January of Charles and sibling David, "We have two brothers who are actually trying to buy the country." The number-one seeded Shockers open their tournament tomorrow night against the Cal Poly Mustangs.

"Suzan began re-creating Matilda's 'sturdy food' recipes for baked pork chops and beef stew, and Aunt Nettie's clam chowder made with clams dug up by Suzan's grandfather Charlie in Long Island Sound. And she began uncovering the stories of her resilient family's past. Taking inspiration from stylish, indomitable Matilda, who was the sole support of her family as a teenager during the Great Depression (and who always answered 'How are you?' with 'Fabulous, never better!'), and from dashing, twice-widowed Charlie, Suzan starts to approach her own crisis with a sense of wonder and gratitude. It turns out that the gift to survive and thrive through hard times had been bred in her bones all along."
Egan tells an extraordinary tale in this visceral account of how America's great, grassy plains turned to dust, and how the ferocious plains winds stirred up an endless series of "black blizzards" that were like a biblical plague: "Dust clouds boiled up, ten thousand feet or more in the sky, and rolled like moving mountains" in what became known as the Dust Bowl.

Did You Need It Lyrics
So one of us has to go, we know
One of us, yeah
Come out, it's time to go
And was the spotlight
Up above you
Shining so bright
A searchlight, signaling?
Ahh, yeeaahh.
And as the storm
Rolls in a-yea-yeaahhh
Leave it all within
I guess there's a first time for everything
It was the spotlight
Up above you
Shining so bright,
A searchlight, signaling
Ohh, yeahhh
Now where the hell, does it go?
And was the road too long?
It was the spotlight
Up above you
Shining so bright
A searchlight
To bring you home
Always warning
You'd found the love of your life.
Did ya need it, did ya want it?
Did ya find him?
Did ya need it?
And where the hell, did ya, go?
And was the road, too long?

text: On January 5, 2014, about 1000 central standard time, a Bell B430 helicopter, N430CT, sustained substantial damage during landing when the tail rotor struck a handrail on the crane davit on the West Delta 109 oil platform located in the Gulf of Mexico. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The helicopter was owned and operated by Chevron USA Inc., under the provisions of the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a business flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The helicopter departed the Chevron Main Pass 313 oil platform about 0930, and was on a company visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan. The pilot reported that both cranes were shut down on the oil platform and she received a "green" deck for landing. The pilot made a normal approach to the platform. The helicopter was over the landing circle when she turned the helicopter's tail and felt a severe shudder. She immediately landed and shut down the helicopter. The examination of the landing platform and helicopter revealed that the tail rotor blades had struck a handrail on the crane davit, which resulted in substantial damage to the tail rotor gearbox and drivetrain.

I made a macro that is a mouseover one button taunt, but it doesnt seem to work right... At first everything works fine, I cast Dark Command and if I need to taunt/pull something else i cast Death Grip. The macro should reset after 8 seconds, when Dark Command finishes its cooldown. For some reason it get breaks after i use Death Grip, it wont reset back to Dark Command when it should.
Here is what the macro looks like:
/castsequence reset=8 [target=mouseover, harm, nodead][ ] Dark Command, Death Grip
I've tried changing different parts of the macro countless times but it still wont work the way I want it. I was hoping someone could point out the problem im having.

Indie singer and reality-TV star Large unloads stories about her volatile life.
Large describes her battle against the hereditary mental illness that decimated her mother's health and prompted the author to engage in a self-destructive downward spiral before discovering her musical talent.

Did not like this book. Would not recommend it. I felt sorry for the author's mother in so many ways, but more so that she was used as an excuse for Storm's crummy outcome in life. Sure, it can be difficult to find direction in your life, especially as a young person; but look at yourself instead of blaming, of all people, your mother! Storm Large, although big in physical stature is tiny on the map of pop culture.
Like her music, Storm does not hold back in the story of her life. An awesome read, especially for those who have been fans of Storm for years dating back to her Flower SF days.

Suttons Bay House Rental Photos and Description
House, 4 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3.5 Baths, (Sleeps 8-10)
Our home is a 4400 square foot luxury home located directly on West Grand Traverse Bay, Stoney Point Peninsula, near the village of Suttons Bay. We have 123 feet of frontage, a large yard, and is in a very quiet and exclusive area of quality homes. You will witness beautiful sunrises, sunsets, amazing stars and sometimes the northern lights. Our home has a Large Master Suite (Queen Size bed), two other large Bedrooms with King sized beds all of which face the bay. A fourth small bedroom is on the main floor and has 2 twin beds, and many amenities for young children. The large lower family room has a walkout to the Bay. Parcel is 122 x 450. Lots of room, parking, etc. Wildlife abundant, including a couple of eagles that nest nearby. Many wineries in the area. Leland, Fishtown and Lake Michigan, all close. Fun and very relaxing home. Each bedroom has a tv, also a tv in the master bathroom. Lower level has a ping pong table, tread mill, exercise bike, and a variety of games and toys. The Lot is loaded with trees, nice yard on both the road side and the bay side of the house. Very private. Driveway is about 250 feet long, and paved near the house.
With the exception of the few weeks we rent out, this is our home and is not treated as a typical rental home. We love it here and guarantee you will too.
We do ask that you treat our home as you would your own.
A dock is in the water and you could tie a boat up to it. Steps are at both ends of the dock, and the steps at the deep end allows you to walk into the water from the steps. The water is about 3 1/2 feet at the end of the dock.
Although we have a sand beach, there are rocks near the shore yet the dock makes it easy to get into the deeper water. We encourage people to wear footwear in the water.
We have a fire pit on the beach for your use and we usually keep a lot of fire wood nearby. We invite you to use our canoe, kayaks, beach toys, hammock, bikes, etc., just be careful and be sure to return everything to its place. Boats can be rented from either Traverse City or in Lake Leelanau should you desire.

Each Village such as Suttons Bay, Northport, Leland, Glen Arbor, Empire, Cedar, Maple City and Lake Leelanau are all a very short ride away and each have great stores, restaurants and an abundance of things to keep you busy. The beaches, the sand dunes, the hiking trails, the parks...will make your day.

What makes Tito's so good
Tito's are the best tacos on Los Angeles. I live 30 miles away but it dosn't stop me from waiting in line for there great food. I wish there was one closer to my house.
re: Das Ubergeek
Almost every time this comes up it seems that hardly anyone acknowledges that the tacos are actually the worst thing on the menu (except maybe the guacamole water... but the dry meat thing in the tacos is really that bad). To pile on titos about the tacos is just beating a straw man... even if the OP seems to like them.
Despite the name, titos tacos is for chips and salsa, beef and cheese burritos, and especially the enchilada... which must be near the top of LA's greatest creations. None of these things has to resemble anything actually existing in mexico to be good. Yellow cheese has its place.
re: theonceler
Your post actually makes me want to go back to try Tito's again. The tacos and guac water were exactly the two things that turned me off about the place, and that's all I ordered (of course, you'd expect with a name like "Tito's TACOS" that their namesake would be up to par......
Mr Taster
re: streetgourmetla
Bingo above to both Mr. Taster, and streetgourmetla.
I think you have solved the Tito's debate once and for all. If you didn't grow up with it, leave it be I guess.
(Still sporting that capped tooth that I cracked years ago at Tito's).
tender beef wrapped in a tortilla and deep fried topped with cheese... mmmmm... what was the original question?
Best salsa in town. And braised beef is awesome. So greasy and salty but I love it. I just can't do it more than one a month.
For ten years we had been going to Johnnie's Pastrami and noticed the lines at Tito's Tacos. One day we walked over and asked people why they were standing in these long lines. They said they were the best. A couple of years later we finally went--eh. Five years later and we haven't gone back.
re: The Old Man
I went years ago and only lasted a few bites. I'd rather stand in a line at the DMV.
re: streetgourmetla
"I went years ago and only lasted a few bites. I'd rather stand in a line at the DMV"
You always know the best food. What are they serving?
re: The Old Man
A heaping helping of bored inefficiency.
re: Das Ubergeek
That's a good take.
Perhaps people go for the bored attitude the employees have.
Been like that since day one.
The food is OK.
Salty shredded beef with an OK sauce.
Not bad, not as good as it once was,but never understood the huge following.
re: The Old Man
"Nacos" Supreme and "you got a beef?" burrito
re: streetgourmetla
re: wilafur
I think that the naysayers are being a bit harsh.. The chips are good, the salsa very fresh, the beef and bean burrito pretty good, the tacos okay. But heck I have an 11 year old that likes it and perhaps when he is older and his palate expands will like other places. I am just turning him on to the Taco Truck idea and he likes it. Slowly but surely he will come around.. I prefer this over Del taco or Taco Bell for my 11 year old.. So all in all pick your battles..
I love Tito's. I know they are by no means gourmet but there is that combination of textures (the shell that has a gradient of crunch levels from the crisp outside to the tug-and-chew inside where it has mixed with the meat juices), the chew of the beef and the added dimension of the cheese and salsa that I have found nowhere else. They are still my favorite tacos! The last time I ate there, though, I was horrified to see how much weight I put on after that.
re: WORX4FUDE
It has nothing to do with snobbery. It has everything to do with what tastes good!
Mr Taster
re: westsidegal
Insulting the people waiting in line will get you nowhere. I for one am proud to be made from artificial ingredients :)
I'm embarassed to say that I recently recommended Tito's to someone looking for Tacos Dorados on a recent thread.
In my defense, I hadn't been in years and I could swear I remembered liking them. Well, after driving by Tito's on my way over to Mariscos Chente for the 4th time in as many days I was struck by a strong nostalgic impulse to change plans and go to Tito's instead.
I'm not one to knock an LA institution. I'm an unabashed fan of the Apple Pan, Phillipe's, Langer's, Clifton's, etc. I get the criticisms and I just don't care. Tito's I can't personally support.
I'll just sum up my honest assessment of each component of the famed tacos:
1. The beef was dry and dried out. I found it to taste of salt and . . . well, that's it actually. No beef flavor at all that I could discern.
2. The lettuce was fresh, crisp, iceberg. Well known to offer absolutely no flavor. But it performed it's intended job.
3. The cheese is mild, food-industry grade orange. The label might be stamped cheddar but really, I think we all know what we have here. Nothing special and nothing flavorful.
4. The shell. Alternately hard and dry or oily and soggy. Depended if meat was behind the shell or not. It was a fairly thick shell.
5. The salsa. Clearly made fresh from out of season tomatoes. Perhaps at another time of year the salsa uses higher quality tomato (similar seasonal variations can be found at El Parian). It had very little heat and no noticable chunks of chilli. It was salted seasoned properly and had a welcome acidity from vinegar (clearly white and not cider).
For me, it was brutally disgusting and I insantly regretted the detour and the recent post.
Now, if you are nostalgic for that brand of re-interpreted Mexican, I heartily recommend Sky's Tacos on Olympic, near Hauser.
It's a sould food restaurant with a Mexican menu if that makes sense. Ground beef, lettuce, orange cheese tacos that are actually good. The "carnitas" aren't carnitas at all but WOW, whetever it is it was delicious. Not really Mexican food, but then again neither is Tito's.
re: Frommtron
oh, sky's is really good a soul food-run version of mexican food. even their veggie tacos with pseudo-meat is delicious.
and don't even get me started on the OPEN FACED SHRIMP BURRITOS, these are excellent and the tangy sauce is beyond compare.
re: kevin
Glad to hear from another fan. The place is just great. On paper it's all wrong but somehow they hit a home run for me every time.
I have not tried the open faced shrimp burrito, (Again, doesn't sound at all right when you write it out) but I'll give them a go next. Thanks for the rec.
re: Frommtron
Just so no one gets lost, Sky's is on Pico, not Olympic.
re: rupertmonkey
re: Frommtron
yes, it's on pico, nice joint. be sure to set aside plenty of time too, it's not exactly "fast food."
also, in the area is la pain for chocoate croissants.
re: kevin
It's "La Maison du Pain".... their cinnamon buns are wonderous.
Mr Taster
re: Frommtron
It's not the same great quality and taste that made them famous.
They have cheapened their product and not the fussy preperation of decades ago.
It changed in the late 1970's, but as long as their is a line ,, it'll stay changed.
re: silence9
I'm new on Chowhound. I don't work for Tito's, just a fan.
I love the salsa and have never had a bad meal there.
re: magic man
Fair enough. Sorry. I will edit/delete my snarky first response. Enjoy Chowhound, and keep posting...
re: magic man
All snarkiness aside, I really do urge you to look for tacos on the board -- there are some really great trucks as well as shops -- Tacos Por Favor in Santa Monica is a board favourite.
re: Das Ubergeek
Yes, exactly. Let this trouncing of Tito's be magic man's first step into the larger taco world of Los Angeles. Before you know it he'll be eating buches in Boyle Heights.

welcome, grasshopper.

re: CucumberBoy
doesn't state on the menu as such
but's it's OPEN FACED.
closed faced, open faced, it would still be all delicious.
re: CucumberBoy
I don't consider Don Adrian's a long distance chow destination place but you should try that sandwich since its near... pickled feet are actually not that scary and its one of the better things that they have there. At worst you would be out a few bucks.
re: orythedog
What COULD make Tito's so good? Absolutely NOTHING! If they changed their tacos, it wouldn't be Tito's anymore that so many of us (regardless of how questionable our tastes may be) have come to know and love over the years. I don't get out that way too much and the last time I ate there was last summer but Tito's was still Tito's.. for what that's worth. To me that is meant in a positive way. The only bad thing I can say about them is they have such stupid music on their website. At least the old Quizno commercials have crazy music but they're funny. Tito's is annoying.
re: dfoldes
The best taco in Los Angeles? "It was just my imagination....running away from me..."
I mean really...it's straight from Hyperion.
re: dfoldes
While I agree with both sentiments I do love one thing about Tito's--its mix of clientele. It shows the best of LA to see white, black, brown, well off and not, young, old, all standing together talking, laughing and enjoying themselves.
re: The Old Man
Good description of what I enjoy about Pann's and Dino's Burgers too.
re: The Old Man
Yeah, sorta like the tv vids of the LA riots back in the early 90s ;)
Actually I agree with the sentiment, one of many reasons why I love my hometown.
I actually met the daughter of the family; she runs Tito's Tacos. Nice young businesswoman. I didn't have the nerve to tell her what I really thought of the food... but we chatted for a while about how her family created an institution. She was interested in expanding it, I think, but worried about replicating the quality. In truth, the place is so systematic and the ingredients lacking in complexity. It is entirely built around its own mystique. The food is soupy and cheap, the lines long, and the wait unbearable. And their food costs are rock bottom. But people can't stop eating there...
re: torimo
When you say good businesswoman she must be, don't laugh but the business model is better than most. Talked to someone who worked there and they were looking to hire people. They were offering like $10/hour a 40 hour work week with overtime and even health benefits.
re: monku
Interesting! I guess that doesn't surprise me. She told me the place generated a tremendous amount of cash. Her biggest issue has been what to do to reinvest the profits. She gets hit up continuously by people who want to "invest" in the concept -- to own a piece of the success, but raising capital is the last problem they have -- and keeping the money/control in the family is the smartest decision. If I'm not impressed by the food, I'm still definitely impressed (envious perhaps?) by the soundness of the business model.
re: torimo
this joint and the apple pan are two of the greatest business models in la.
i think the apple pan is an even better model. there's an inherent inelastic demand, they keep on increasing the prices, about every 1.5 mos, and bingo presto, people still visit en masse. you gotta luv em.

I'm not disputing you, Kevin, I just thought it was funny to consider the concept of an open-faced burrito. If it were, indeed, open-faced, wouldn't it be more like a quesadilla? Or a tostada (on an un-fried tortilla)? I think if a burrito is served open-faced, well, it's not a burrito anymore.
Semantics, I guess; as long as there's rice, beans, and cheese, I'll eat anything, open-faced or not. That includes Paris Hilton.

I eat there all the time; the fish and jabon sandwiches are, indeed, awesome, especially with extra peppers. Perhaps I'll try the pigs feet at some point. But I'm wary of their menu item entitled "leg of cattle." "Leg" being singular, "cattle" being plural, I've got to wonder: what exactly is "leg of cattle"?
re: CucumberBoy
"fish and jabon sandwiches" -- I'm sorry, I know you meant "jamón", and that sounds tasty, but this made me laugh so hard -- "jabón" is Spanish for "soap".
This Valley Girl doesn't get over the hill as often as I used to........yay for jobs close to home...... so it is with much sadness that I read all the critical posts about Tito's. Many moons ago this was definitely THE place for good, unpretentious mexican. My goodness was there anything better than that little styrofoam container filled with that delicate, tender, saucy beef................
re: Chow Bella
See my post above re: nostalgia.
Mr Taster
re: Ernie
Tito's is not best of anything, and surely not best of Mexican food. For starter's, it's not Mexican. And, if what you are looking for is Americanized takes on "Mexican" food (read: gloppy food with melted cheese on top and rather generic salsa), there are much much better options. I have no problem with Americanized "Mexican" food; some of it can be tasty. I do find it a bit disturbing that it leads people to believe that they are eating actual Mexican food, but oh well.
re: wilafur
Not even that much.. more like 50 feet.
What makes Tito's so appealing is that it is so entrenched in Americana. As an old established LA eatery, it developed its recipes a long time ago for a population of Americans seeing out a new flavor as well as local Mexican Americans seeking out something familiar with a twist. That's historically how cuisines fuse and become something new. Tito's is just that. It isn't Mexican food. It's American food. And it appeals to many segments of LA's population. Even with me. There are many versions of Tito's-like inventions throughout the country as immigrants bring parts of their native cuisines to the mainstream. A Tito's taco is akin to an east coast Chinese eggroll that seems to get some attention on these boards. As insipid as these are, they inspire nostalgia, just as a Tito's ground beef taco does for someone who enjoyed these at a young age.
Tito's doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is: LA style Mexican American food. From the looks of it, Tito's style food is what inspired chains like Taco Bell, Del Taco and the rest of those Mexican-like chains. It belongs on the same shelf with the likes of the Mission burrito, Chicago pizza, Philly cheesesteaks, Cincinnati chili, NY Chinese food, just to name others.
re: E Eto
There are plenty of bland eggrolls in the New York City metro area, but when you find a place that does it right, they are anything but insipid.
This is not nostalgia speaking. This is from a very recent visit to NYC, where 70% of my eggroll experiences were generic to awful, but one simply knocked my socks off (If you're curious, it came from an anonymous Chinese/soul food shop with bulletproof glass windows in the Carribbean district of Flatbush Ave, right next to a video shop specializing in blaxploitation flicks... on the corner on the west side of Flatbush)... and throught the miracle of google maps street view, I think this is the place:
(I don't see the chinese restaurant, but the "Kung Fu Video" awning is a dead giveaway...!)
My limited experience with them (twice, I believe) seems to jive with virtually every other non native Angeleno. Granted, there's only one Tito's Tacos, and they're the very epitome of insipid. Bland, bland, bland.
However, I am willing to give them another shot per my response to theonceler's above post, which definitely piqued my curiosity.....
Mr Taster
30+ years ago when I moved to LA from NY my east coast friend took me to TT's one day and had the beef burrito. It had big chunks of meaty and what I thought was the Mexican flavor. For a while that was the standard I compared all others to. One day he took me to Mago's where I discovered their fried chicken burrito...who knew Japanese American's could make great Mexican food.
Later I discovered there was better than TT's and Mago's, but still I get a craving for TT's and unfortunately Mago's is no longer.
re: monkuboy
Yeah, you could make a pretty good rotation in those days.
re: CCDiner
what's cha siu?
also, is there anywhere that serves up the kind of food doled out by Mago's, if i'm correct it was located on centinela near washington, right????
I think the reason for Tito's appeal is that it's on the Westside. You know, because Westsiders don't ever venture east of the 405/LaCienega/La Brea/etc, so for them this is the best Mexican food ever.
re: Normal Garciaparra
Yeah, over on the east side we have Pepe's. ; ) lol..
re: monkuboy
And on the mid-side, we have El Cholo.
re: Normal Garciaparra
i see this attitude and short sighted inaccuracy pop up on here a bit too often and having lived both on the east side and west side it's pretty frustrating to see. i actually find it works the other way and that on average it's the people living on the east side that don't venture west - and it's not because there's a lack of good food... let's be honest there's no chichen itza, langer's, pie n' burger, yuca's, phillips bbq or for that matter providence, sona or whatever but there are a ton of very good restaurants - tacos por favor and lare's, tamra's tamales for example have considerably better food than tito's. in general i see this kid of thinking on here quite a bit and it usually surfaces in the generic recommendations people make when suggesting west side restaurants, but when someone lays it out like you did i feel it deserves to called. i also would like to see people digging a bit deeper, there is good food on the west side and it's a shame it's kind of being overlooked.
re: dfoldes
Thanks for your response. His was such a condescending and misinformed post.
re: The Old Man
Exhibit A for the defense:
From ElJeffe's current "Best Pizza (NY Style) in LA." thread:
"As I head East of the 405 about twice a year at best, I'm enforcing the strict "LA" qualification..."
As a former Westsider - I would say this qualifies as offensive WS chauvinism. That someone could consider that L.A. only exists west of the 405 is just plain stupid. The point is that we Eastsiders realize there IS good and excellent food on the Westside - but we're more than happy (and yes, perhaps smug sometimes) with our choices here. It seems many of our Westside counterparts tend to think there's nothing beyond La Cienega...
re: dfoldes
yes, but no
there are a ton of places from the west side being talked about on chow, and the attitude you are referring to comes up with places on the east side as well
it's a matter of opinion, some of us are very passionate about certain foods, and when we have something that is not up to par or even close, we are going to say it, as an opinion, not necessarily fact, obviously
re: fgrade
I think the objection (and I share the same feeling) is that the moment you smear an entire quadrant of LA as being "taste deficient" in one ethnic food area or another you have failed the "taste" and "smell" test as surely as if you had said that "100%" of master sake brewers in Japan are Japanese.
re: Servorg
that's not what i said at all
if you're going to refer to tito's as a quadrant, then not only have you misinterpreted what i said, you have grossly twisted it, there are good places and bad places to eat on the east side just like the west side, for me, tito's is a bad one on the west side
it doesn't matter who it is that is producing the plates in the kitchen, what matters here is the end result
re: fgrade
After you replied to dfoldes post (which rightly took exception to Normal Garciappara's remarks about westsiders having questionable taste in Mexican food being the reason for the positive posts about Tito's) I then replied.
In that reply I was offering my opinion as to the fallacy of the argument in Normal Garciappara's post above: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/5919...
I didn't say you in the "you" fgrade sense, but rather in the "you" in the "those who believe what Normal Garciappara said" sense.
re: dfoldes
My biggest issue with eating on the westside is that, on the whole, things tend to be a lot more expensive. There are exceptions, but if your criteria is (like mine) finding sheer density of inexpensive deliciousness you get a much better bang for your buck by going east rather than west.
For me (and I suspect for many others) it's an issue of economics. By and large, there is a great deal more wealth concentrated on the westside, and a great deal more restaurants that cater to people who can afford a higher dinner bill. It's not so easy for people with less income to afford those expensive westside meals, but the opposite is not necessarily true. Yet for some reason you don't find Boyle Heights taquerias flooded with Priuses and Beemers with "Santa Monica Toyota" license plate frames. Why is that?
Servorg, I await your response and condemnation!
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
You're right you obviously don't, but does Mar Vista in your eyes and Palms count as the Westside in your opinion. If so there are lots of cheaper eats there, but also good food too, as in the much aforementioned Mariscos Chente, et al.
re: Mr Taster
Mariscos Chente
re: Mr Taster
If you mine further into your observations, you'll find the answer.
>>By and large, there is a great deal more wealth concentrated on the westside...<<
This concentration of wealth is due to the Real Estate's Rules #1, 2, and 3. Location, location, and location. Like so many things in economics, demand usually plays the key role in price. I've lived here most of my life from when Marina del Rey was a swamp and people laughed at the thought of buying homes in dumps like Venice, Santa Monica, as well as out in the sticks of Palisades and Malibu. But the fresh air, the cool breezes and the lower population density (but getting worse by the day) cannot be replicated. These areas became very popular starting in the late 70s-80s as so many people from the Midwest, back East, and around the world started to migrate to LA. Places from Midtown (I was born and raised there) and so many areas that are demarcated east of the corridors like the 405, La Brea, La Cienega, etc., have sub-par to horrid air quality, worse traffic and population density issues, and other "incurable defects" and population-related issues. These are the main reasons why land is so expensive in the Westside - and this translates into relatively higher overhead costs than say places like Boyle Heights.
>>Yet for some reason you don't find Boyle Heights taquerias flooded with Priuses and Beemers with "Santa Monica Toyota" license plate frames...<<
And while your observation here is true, this can be said about any area-specific population relative to any area. Have you seen the number of non-Westside residents flooding the Westside on weekends, particularly in the summer and particularly to the parks and beaches? I can guarantee that for every Prius or Beemer with a "Santa Monica Toyota" license plate frame that you count in Boyle Heights, you will count hundreds if not thousands of cars with old "Downtown Felix Chevrolet" license plate frames or from any other area parked in the streets and parking structures throughout the Westside, because sitting in a tiny cramped sweltering apartment in a part of town where the viscous air pollutes your lungs. It's all a matter of what resources are important to each individual and where one must go to seek out those resources.
Why people are so eager to variously deride the Westside on this board is a puzzle to me. It seems that to many, if it ain't Langers, Phillipes' (which I personally detest but that a whole other story), or some other "institution," than the area is labeled a wasteland. We have no York Blvd, but we have our share of very respectable Mexican eateries - yes, on the Westside. Tacos Por Favor, Taqueria Sanchez, Tacomiendo, Gallgegos Mexican Deli, Monte Alban, Mariscos Chente, La Oaxaquena and Cemitas Poblanas trucks are good enough for my local rotation. If I happen to be within striking distance of some ethnic-dense eateries, than I'll go for it - I feel if I don't, it's a lost opportunity. Maybe I'm a Chowhound-lite in this sense, but I that's me.
If I'm making a trip specifically for food, it's SGV - the king of ethnic-dense eateries. I can literally make a day of it and as far as it is from the Westside, as thick as traffic can be, and as bad as the air can hit my lungs on a hot inversion-layered day, it is only a day - half a day usually - and I feel fulfilled in my total but brief immersion. I love and respect this and other food-rich areas. While I still choose to live in the Westside, I don't feel a need to slam areas outside of here - just a native Angeleno stating the facts...
re: Normal Garciaparra
yeah, as authentic mexican as burritos and nachos get
re: Normal Garciaparra
Agreed, Normal. If they want "real tacos" they should head to My Taco on York Blvd. in Highland Park. Also in Highland park is El Arco Iris, also on york. Shoot, there are even a bunch of really quality taco trucks that call HP home. On the Westside, I agree that Tacos Por Favor is the spot. Really solid food with fresh ingredients. Who could ask for more?
For me, the draws are the communal feel of the place, the chili con carne used in the burritos and consistency (food's been the same since the 30+ years I can remember). Everyone knows it's Mexican-ISH food, so don't expect anything more. If you want something closer to a real taco, go nearby to Don Felix, Taqueria Sanchez, etc
Tip: To add some kick to the mild salsa, ask for a side of chopped jalapenos.
re: pharmnerd
To add, saw a Tito's commercial on TV recently in the wee hours (may 2-3am). Cracked-up as it was expectedly cheesy & low-budget.
re: pharmnerd
What is even cheesier and low budget is going to the Tito's website. As soon as the page loads, that horrible song comes blaring through the speakers at max volume!! Makes it kind of embarrassing if you're visiting the site while at work. : )
re: monkuboy
Internal consistency is definitely their long suit -- in more ways than one! I kinda like that I can enjoy the cheesiness in some way that won't kill me. I sure can't stomach their "food"!
I don't care.. I agree and I just love F^$#ing TITOS. Whenever I get that craving for a fried taco w/ yellow cheese, I find myself in line. I starve myself all day and order 4 tacos w/ cheese, 1 beef, bean and cheese burrito w/ a side of guacawater(yum) red and green salsa. I bring home the chips to make migas for either breakfast, lunch or dinner depending on my schedule that next day.
I would have to say the consistency ,plus it is relatively cheap as well . There is something to be said for consistency and speed , look at the success of McDonald's . They deliver a product cheap and quick , that's what keeps people coming back.
re: bophisto
Gargantuation cash cows. they are the 800 pound gorillas of cash cows.
i guess this is proof that everyone has different tastes in food
i've only been to tito's once, and i am glad to say that i'm keeping it that way, even my friend who doesn't discriminate much when it comes to food was not happy with what was given to us i exchange for our money
it just wasn't impressive, my old high school served better tasting hard shell tacos
re: fgrade
HOT DAMN, that Tito's be good!
re: Adsvino
i went there once b/c some classmates (all of them mexican america) recommended tito's for their tacos. i won't be going back. not because i don't like americanized mexican food, just b/c tito's isn't a very good rendition of it. i used to eat crunchy tacos growing up. shredded beef, lettuce, yellow cheese, hot sauce. i still really like them...just not the ones at tito's.
so, to try and steer this conversation toward something helpful: to everyone who doesn't like the crunchy tacos at titos, what places (in LA) do a good crunchy taco? my favorite places are 60 miles east (riverside) and 360 miles east (phoenix) so something a little closer would be awesome.
re: ceviche
arturo's home of the puffy paco in whittier is pretty awesome, great salsa, picadillo, or shredded beef, orange shredded cheese, in a fried taco shell or puffy style, similar to indian fry bread. like tito's only much better. and also it's Tex-mex cuisine if i ain't mistaken.
re: ceviche
The crispy tacos (tacos dorados) at My Taco in Highland Park are my favorite. On the westside, the crispy tacos at Tacos Por Favor have been highly recommended - haven't tried them myself, because at TPF I opt for chorizo and cheese soft tacos instead.
re: ceviche
Sabor a Mexico *used* to have an excellent version on the westside. I don't know if they're still on the menu since they've moved.
re: Frommtron
I finally went to Titos to see what was up. Tried the tacos and it was not good. I will not be back.
re: waxfondler
DON"T do the tacos. They are OK, but instead get a bean and cheese burrito, and be sure to buy enough both red and green salsa (well, the green is basically diced jalapenos). Comfort food. The beef that's not ground beef is mystery, stay away. Been going 35 years. Oh, and the trick is to go to the inside window to order -faster almost always.
re: waxfondler
nothing there is any better than the tacos.
there is no need to go back
re: waxfondler
No. Never. Don't ever go back. Like I said, I'll never fault anyone for loving an LA institution. However, in my opinion the food is execrable.
re: Frommtron
We've removed a large number of posts from this sub-thread -- including, unfortunately, some relatively friendly comments that didn't make sense without the context they were in.
If you want to comment on Tito's food -- whether it's good or bad, or what it aspires to be or doesn't -- that's fine. But the personal comments about other posters tastes, level of knowledge, etc, are unfriendly and unnecessary.
More general discussion about personal tastes vs. dining habits and nostalgia foods that is not specific to Tito's might be better suited to the General Topics board.
re: The Chowhound Team
Okay. New discussion (including some of the deleted posts) here:
In response to the original post:
Liking Tito's Tacos is simple recipe...
One part nostalgia
Zero parts taste buds
One part cheap
Ten parts cheddar cheese
One part boiled and unseasoned brisket
One part unmemorable salsa
One part smoke
I like smoked meats because the smoking process can usually make any meat taste good but the smoke actually refers to the herb that is smoked and causes the smoker to eat a lot of just about anything...
re: FKA Andrew
so i guess it's all about the cheddar cheese at Tito's.
now i kind of want to try one for the sake of the experiment.

A transient was arrested early today after a Spokane County sheriff's deputy recognized him from previous arrests in Idaho.
Having been arrested before is hardly probable cause to be rearrested, but, according to the sheriff's office, Timothy Karl Turnbull, 52, (pictured) had a suspended driver's license and a warrant from the Idaho Department of Correction.
Turnbull was stopped after Deputy Chuck Sciortino spotted him driving a car without a seat belt in the West Plains area.
Sciortino had previously arrested Turnbull while a Kootenai County sheriff's deputy. He ordered Turnbull out of the car to arrest him after learning of the suspended license and warrant. A baggie of methamphetamine feel from Turnbull as he stood up, a news release said.
Turnbull was booked into jail for the driver's license misdemeanor and a felony drug charge. He may face fugitive charges related to the warrant and felon in possession of ammunition charge for bullets found under the driver's seat of his car.
Turnbull has previous drug convictions in Kootenai and Boundary counties, according to the Department of Correction.

James Clawson wonders where the money is going since the city seems to be in a perpetual budget crunch (See: "In deficit again," Saturday, Sept. 7).Here's where a bunch of it is going, James. The Trinity River Vision (TRV) Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) has spent $56,177,987 on the TRV and budget estimates rise to $320,000,000.The TIF includes property along West Seventh Street over to University Drive, which gives up 80 percent of the tax revenues that have accrued from increased property values since the TIF was established around 2005.That means that less tax revenue returns to the city's general revenue budget. That also means less money to pay police and firefighters.But remember, James, you voted for it in the 2004 bond election that included $5 million for Henderson Street bridge engineering. No, that didn't include the $1 billion dollar price tag, but maybe it was implied.Spending over a billion dollars for less than a billion in return only makes sense to government. As long as city government gives away more and more tax dollars in TIFs and abatements, expect less and less in public services. — Clyde Picht, Fort Worth

Ice Cream, Cobra Man Lyrics - The Mountain Goats
I have a hand disfigured by snakebite.
I have a couple of things that I really like
and I am heading your way all the time.
I'm going to move all my vital organs
to someplace outside my body.
The wiring is something you would not believe.
I feel no pain as I float across your ceiling, and I --
I have no shame.
I am in a thousand rooms all at the same time.
Yeah and I have a glass
filled with water and light, and I feel good tonight.
I am climbing up this mountain.
You can watch me. You can watch me.

Creative space
Fresh and bright and white and wow. Love this home office/creative space by Jesse Moyer of Jette Creative. A clean, simple aesthetic that marries the past and the present, vintage and modern.
Fresh and bright and white and wow. Love this home office/creative space by Jesse Moyer of Jette Creative. A clean, simple aesthetic that marries the past and the present, vintage and modern.
"Artistic Designs for living is about creativity, organization and management."
To me it is all about how San Francisco interior designer Tineke Triggs and her design team use confident colour, sophisticated layering and careful consideration of the space. The first few photos are of the ADFL studio. The colour is "kapow", the textures lush. Love the brick wall with the shelf for book display. May just have to use that in my own home. Don't miss the Mill Valley family home after the jump. Earthy, casual, creative. A wonderful family space.
Remember this post from last week of an office with wallpaper samples on the wall? Well, Pam of RetroRenovation.com thought our readers might like to see what she did with her office as it has the same "patchwork" going on on the walls. Her new office is SO FUN, and she has in fact inspired me to do something with all of the vintage wrapping paper I have stashed away that I bought on Etsy a couple years ago. I'm thinking of cutting it into pieces and gluing it to the island in my dressing room. :) ANYHOO, she sent along some photos and info on her office remodel. Check it out:
I needed to renovate my office principally to add more insulation -- it's in the basement. I am a fulltime blogger now -- and the time had come to make this space truly comfy cozy and my own. I also wanted to add crafting space -- I love to collage. And, I had a hoard of vintage wallpaper -- from the 1920s through the 1970s -- I'd collected over the years -- often, in onesy-twosey rolls that were not enough to paper a room. Also, I am just more color crazy than EVER and wanted to create a space that appealed to me just me I don't care what anyone else thinks! Put these all together and you get my crazy patchwork quilt office. I used nearly 300 12" x 12" squares -- I cut each and every one. My friend Denise (pictured me in the American Gothic photo) helped me put it up. She is a decorative painter and has a great eye. While it might look "insane" at first glance, there really is a rhyme and reason to the papers chosen. (cough cough I have more). The principal field is sort of acid yellow and acid green patterned with off white or soft white... and there are also softer yellows, greens and oranges, also in patterns with soft white. From there, we added complements... "pops"... of purple, rusty red, and that very strong, more solid lime green. The crafting space is Ikea Trofast children's storage with Herman Miller! Countertops found at the Re-Store. I had recessed storage built into the wall above my crafting area. The trim also comes from the Re-Store. I kept the wood as-is: Not Perfect is the New Perfect. The foofy white trim around the shuttered window (orange shutters were my mother-in-law's) I painted glossy white. Ceiling trim (also from Re-Store) is a grass green. I added a pretty mirrored medicine cabinet. Because I could. Track lights around edge. Vintage wagon wheel light in center. Oh, and I sent you a shot of my vintage Sunbeam Appliance Center, which I installed for fun but also for a little bit of light on the countertop.
I adore this home office of New Zealand designer and stylist LeeAnn Yare. The colours are phenomenal. LeeAnn is a wallpaper addict so she's filled it with off-cuts and samples she couldn't bear to part with - FUN! The desk is an old door, the filing cabinet was stripped, and the space is filled with vintage treasures. This one HAS to go in my inspiration folder. (via Urbis magazine, photo by Larnie Nicolson)
I work in a typical office building that completely lacks any decent decor and frankly, the place is falling apart and should be condemned. So when we received this submission of the new Microsoft headquarters in Vienna, Austria created by architecture firm INNOCAD, I wanted to share it with you all. We don't typically blog commercial offices but when I saw the boardroom completely surrounded in wood I was sold. And OMG this place has a slide! FUN!!!
