Dot & Lil

Bath Truffles $9 each
 New at HQ! Dot & Lil bath & body products. I am no longer ashamed to admit that I love these things! Angie totally outed me a while back when we were in the middle of doing face masks and a bunch of my friends came knocking at our door. I ran for the bathroom to wash it off, leaving her the responsibility of answering the door, face mask and all. I quickly rinsed and walked out like nothing was up.Well, let's just say that charade didn't last long.
Whipped Body Butter $14 each
Handmade soap $6 each
So, I like bath products... so what? It doesn't make me less of a man... does it? After a long day of chopping wood, wrestling bears and bench pressing shark tanks, I get a little sweaty. We're all friends here, right? DON'T JUDGE ME, SMELLY FACE!
Bath Salts $10 each
Also, don't forget to look for Dot & Lil at this years Smart Design Mart!

The cute meter is in the red!

Valerie Dumaine Fall collection 2010
 Fall is the best. And by that I mean that's when everyone looks their best.... at least in my crappy opinion. People still have traces of their Summer tans but aren't all smelly and sweaty. It's also the time when everyone seems to add considerably to their wardrobes. And this time of year the temperature does not really restrict what we can wear as much as the more intense Summer or Winter months.

If I love October so much why don't I marry it?

Demons print box set by Sean William Dawson


Yeah, it's true. I love October. And not just because it's finally the end of those hot, sweaty, donttouchmeorI'llstabyouintheface days but it also is the beginning of awesome TV.


Demons print box set by Sean William Dawson

As a kid (and as an adult) I've always been fascinated with monsters. And October was always the month where I got a healthy dose of horrific and gruesome creatures. It seemed that every sitcom or cartoon had at least one Halloween themed episode, so it was always a treat to see watered down comedies have at least a little bit of horror sprinkled into it.

I can even remember  a two pert episode of Punky Brewster that scared the living shit out of me. I'm sure if I were to see it today I would scoff and call the TV a pussy but back then I was shaking in my little Yoda Underoo's. (Yeah, I had Yoda Underoo's, so what? I know they weren't as cool as my friends Boba Fett ones, that actually looked like the Mandalorian armor........ oh shit, that was so awesome).
