How To Do Things

Far be it from me to say anything like “you do life-to-the-fullest living wrong” but, the fact is, you probably do. I certainly do, sometimes and with some things. In fact, there are few things I can look at and say “YES AWESOME IS HOW I DO THAT ALL THE TIMES!”

Short list:
Drinking coffee
Buying lingerie
Eating Morningstar Farms veggie burgers
Buying shoes
Telling other drivers how much they suck

Sad. I know. But this is why we have an Internet, to make our lives better. Sometimes it’s through cleverly-captioned photos of cats

sometimes, it’s a YouTube video telling you things you never knew you never knew



and sometimes, it’s words of wisdom from your fellow Internet users, sharing lessons they have learned along the way about how you can make even really good things just a little bit better.

Good things like these:

How to Eat a Cookie (from Tea Time with Jesse)

How to Buy Frozen Yogurt by the Ounce (from chocolate murdercakes)

How to Take Engagement Photos (from Regretsy)


I don’t know about you, but my life is better already.

Pinup Lifestyle Photo Contest

Jerry and I have a photo entered in the Pinup Lifestyle "Hollywood Glam" contest. It looks like this

and we'd be ever so appreciative if you would vote for it HERE. And then ask a bunch of people you know to do the same. No registration necessary, and you get a total of five votes in this contest, which you will need every one of because there is some amazing photography competing for each.

Well, each of the remaining four, anyway. We want one. After that, you are free to vote... freely.

If you are a fan of pinup-style photography, culture, etc., you should also consider joining Pinup Lifestyle. It's a fantastic network where you will find not only the best and latest in pinup photos, but also enjoy discussions with like-minded folks about cars, tattoos, shoes, makeup, patriotism, more shoes, food, movies, other shoes, and so much more.

And in the section where they ask how you heard about the site, tell them Harlean Carpenter sent you. If I refer enough people, I think I get some shoes.
