Last weekend I was listening to This American Life, the Say Anything show, specifically the reading of the parts of the zines Fears of Your Life and Fears of Your Life: A Whole New One by Michael Bernard Loggins. About half way through I heard the name Andrea Scher, I wrote to ask and sure enough, it was the Andrea Scher who is Superhero Designs and is a big part of the Another Girl At Play website. And she just started a new blog, welcome! Fears of Your Life and Fears of Your Life: A Whole New One were made at Creativity Explored in San Francisco, a place worth checking out. Evany (one of my long-time reads, and she reads this site! swoon!) started up a crafty portion of her site, you must see the Go-Between, I need one of those just for those times when I am sitting in a restaurant in an open-backed chair accidentally giving the other customers flashes of my pale skin.

It may just be this way on me, but Target's Sonia Kashuk Frangrance #1 smells exactly like red kool-aid.

Being the lip balm whore that I am I bought some Blixtex Clear Advance, the fact that it is marketed towards men appealed to me - metalic gray packaging, non-glossy, SPF 30, there is a man on the box (or at least a strong chin), and I seem to remember commercials with men telling each other about it. So I'm surprised to find it has a very strong, very sweet, fake strawberry flavor to it, you can smell it when the tube is open. I mean, if you have have a masculine flavor I would think mint, or lime, or orange even. But strawberry? At least ask Jelly Belly if you could use thier Margarita flavor or something.
