Cupcake Car

I love cupcakes.  I make them for every occasion – birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, you name it.  So when I ran across these cupcake cars, I couldn’t help but stare and imagine myself driving down the neighborhood in one of these.  Check it out!

And yes, the car comes with the matching hat! lol  Thanks to the budget-less minds of Neiman Marcus, you can now ride around at 7mph in this gloriously cute cupcake car (ehem for $25,000)

What’s it made of? A 24-volt electric motor, a heavy-duty battery, sheet metal, wire, fabric, wood…and mad genius. Launched at Burning ManSM as a cooperative art car project, the Cupcake Car sprang from the fevered mind of Bay Area artist Lisa Pongrace and her less-rules-more-laughs posse of artists and techno geeks. Yours will be tricked out with your favorite topping, so start thinking flavors.

Frilly Skirt, Frilly Seat

Aren’t these images beautiful? This unique photography perspective (by Daryl Banks) almost transforms the dancers into flowers or art pieces.

They sort of remind me of these poofy chairs.

Framed – Rock Climbing and Walls

I’m in love with baroque frames

So when I saw this designer take on the rock climbing wall I absolutely fell in love with it.  Check it out (from Nendo in Tokyo).

I also love a similar design look of clustering many frames onto one wall.  Can’t climb these though…

Fashion Illustration of Me by Ilse Valfre

I was honored to recently have fashionista stationary named after me and am honored now to have this fashion illustration made for me and FabGab.  Hehe there’s the FabGab iconic chandelier, and some of my favorite things: Chanel purse, bow in hair and dress.  How perfect!

And here’s another NY fashionista illustration that she gave me.  I think the first one is more me.  What do you think?

I’m a fan of Ilse Valfre’s work as she will closely follow all the latest fashions coming down the runway and adoringly illustrate them on her make-believe models.  Speaking of models, this fashion illustrator doesn’t just draw pretty images, she is a pretty image herself and actually models on the side as well!  Check her and her site out!

You must check out her website and blog.  I’m sure you’ll be as giddy as I was when viewing all the wonderful creations.  Here are some of my favorites!

She’s SUCH a talent, isn’t she?

Bella Pilar’s Fab Stationary

I received this note today and learned that I now have fashionista stationary named after me.

“Hey, you are going to love this! I told my friend Bella about you when she told me she had completed this box set of multi-ethnic girls. I even sent her a picture of us. She said that she will now name her Asian girls after you ! So go pick up this box at Papyrus, cause our cards are there!

So happy to welcome you into the wonderful world of Bella fashionistas!!!!!
