blue q

while reading helen dardik's blog, orange you lucky, this morning, i clicked through to blue q, a company for which helen created the pattern on the bag above. (isn't it the cutest?)

not knowing anything about blue q, i decided to browse the website, and *oh my goodness*. i am so entertained! i'm totally on the same brain wave as far as their sense of humor goes-- i mean, look at that tin bank below! is that not the funniest thing you've ever seen?

and everything in their store is so crazy and funny, that i totally wish i worked with these people! i bet they have a ridiculous amount of fun every day.

i remember a few years ago i had a little holiday shindig for my family at my house in boulder, and i made these funny invitations with a drawing of jesus on the front (it was a joke, because i am so not religious, and neither is anyone in my family), and it made me giggle when i looked at it. everyone in my family thought it was funny, too, but my sister's boyfriend totally didn't get it and asked my sister if i had "gone religious." she said she laughed and laughed..... and then just told him i'm really weird. :) i don't mean to offend anyone-- i just really like jesus art, like that sparkle cream below. i think it's hilarious. i mean, lookin' good for jesus sparkle cream? come ON! that's just plain awesome!

anyway, you really should go visit this website- it's perfect for a friday morning when you should be working. :) (like me!)

make sure you browse the book section (you wil find the bad asses book and the 18 things you never knew you could do with a small stone book below, plus many other good ones). and also, please, if you don't do anything else, watch the advertising videos by clicking on the 'meet jack & jennessy' link on the right side of the homepage. i promise, they are insane, and you will laugh. or you'll just think i'm weird.
