Great things are in the works for jojobunny.  I came up with a bunch of little featurettes when I was applying to be an editor &/or writer for a blog, but since things didn't work out, I am taking my know-how to the interwebz streets. I'm currently getting said posts squared away, but I promise I will keep the space between posts shorter than in the past.  While you wait, please like various & sundry on Facebook:

And then visit this other amazing blog:

This little Miss Piggy

I love Halloween.  My sister loves Halloween.  My mom loves Halloween.  We are a Halloween kind of family.  For my sister and I, it's not only about the costumes, but the spookiness - cemetaries, horror movies, fun Halloween movies, etc.  My mom likes some of that, but she is all about the costumes.  I mean, my mom is a badass seamstress that's been doing it since she was 10 or 11 and actually made an elaborate Victorian walking dress when I was little just so she could get professionally photographed in it.  She wore a powdered wig & a beauty mark and got the perfect backdrop & everything.  And it was professionally framed in my house throughout my childhood.  I told you.  Hardcore.

This Halloween is especially exciting because I have a house now, so we are going to deck that shit out & throw the best Halloween party EVER.  EVER.  So my sister was showing me her costume options as a sexy sailor, which of course made me want to look for my costume gear.  This year I will be Miss Piggy.  I LOVE the Muppets & I LOVE Miss Piggy.  For some reason I always loved the divas when I was growing up.  Probably because they made me laugh & I loved the huge personalities & amazing clothes.  For instance, I LOVE Kate Capshaw in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.  By far my favorite Indy flick and a lot of that has to do with Capshaw.  I would howl with laughter at all of her scenes as I watched that movie at least a couple times a week, from when I was three until around five years old.  Again, hardcore.

Seriously?  OF COURSE I wanted to be her!

Anyways, I want to give you a little tour of the image searching I just went through and you can see how ADD I am, especially on the World Wide Web.  I said it.  Move on.  Also, help me decide which Piggy outfit to go for.  I can go red, purple, pink..... you get it, just scroll.

Here is the ear, nose & wig/tiara set I need to make the best costume ever:

Here are the different Miss Piggy outfits I would love to try and recreate with some crazy thrift store outfit or something.  Oh crap, I just realized I have an awesome 80s dress at home that I stole from my high school theatre department!  Must mend that.  Anyways:

B/W of my favorite Piggy form; The Great Muppet Caper water ballet spectacular!

Best color version ever.  See why I love this movie?

This one is a little sassier.  I'd probably be a little more modest.

I WISH. Also, this picture is part of a Great Muppet Caper sheet set. Uh oh.  NEED!

More realistic purple option

Or I could just get this tattoo & call it a day.  Yikes, right?

So of course Miss Piggy made me think of teacup pigs, where I found this:

And then I wanted to change my blog profile pic to that cutie and I wondered if I could because it is a pig, not a bunny, like me.  So I decided to search for new bunny pics & found this:

I am officially quitting while I am ahead.  Please let me know which Miss Piggy look you think I should go for.  And/or your favorite Indiana Jones movie.  And/or your favorite Muppet movie.  And I also need, no matter what else you decide to comment on, I NEED you to exclaim at HOW ADORABLE that teacup pig & that itty bitty bunny are.  And should I change my profile pic to one or the other?  Is it legal to do the pig?  Ooh!  And tell me what you are going to be for Halloween and/or what your and your favorite costume you have ever worn!  Pictures make me happy so feel free if my blog has that capability!

"Is this your homework, Larry?!"

Yes.  Yes, it is.

Hallo-homework for all,

bunny

Hop a ride on the Roaring Twenties Boat Cruise!

I really want to share something but I have to work.  I know.  Lame.  So here is my 20s Boat Cruise video I did for my editing class last year.  Questions, comments, concerns?

Cry, Little Sister

I'm the worst.  We get it.  Here is what I have been up to:

http://www.reddirtchronicles.com/2011/09/the-2011-imaginary-family-project-%E2%80%93-week-37/

My friend, 25SWF (you should totally read her blog about her dating escapades), told me about the Imaginary Family Project for Red Dirt Chronicles.  Basically, you apply to write for the project & if you are accepted, you choose from a bunch of old photos that Quentin (the guy who runs this awesome project) has and proceed to make up a story about it.  It can be long or short, a poem, a news article - however you want to express the photo in written form.  So I picked the photo of the lady getting kids' clothes out of the back of a car and tied together stories of my mom, grandma, great-grandma, sister, aunties & my imagination.  Even my knowledge of Alfred Hitchcock from Film school played its part.

Hitchcock LOVED stuffing his face & getting blasted here

What else have I been doing?  Well, I have seen all of the Frankie & Annette beach movies you can watch on Instant.  They were awesome!  I have to say, Bikini Beach was probably my favorite.  Unlike Beach Party or How To Stuff A Wild Bikini, Annette seems to be more of an independent lady, Frankie & Annette even have a duet about loving each other for being themselves.  And Annette is feisty and doesn't put up with Frankie's shit!  And he totally goes with it.  Unlike How To Stuff A Wild Bikini where he blatantly cheats on her with island women and she takes this crazy self-righteous stance while he spies on her with Buster Keaton through a pelican.  Beware of Frankie's terrible British accent & hyena laugh as the "Potato Bug".  Don Rickles makes up for it.  Beach Party is still a classic, even when Annette sings her creepy song when Frankie leaves her for the Marilyn doppelganger.  I'm telling you, watch these movies.

I also officially love Arsenic & Old Lace (GREAT Halloween movie).  Cary Grant makes me fall even more in love with him and the hilarious chaos and plot twists clearly influenced The 'Burbs (another favorite).

Also obsessed with Katharine Hepburn and Desk Set (a great Christmas flick!).  First of all, Katharine is always a pleasure.  She's chic & she gets down to the brass tacks.  When she is paired with Spencer Tracey, they are dynamite.  Desk Set was especially good and if you watch it, keep in mind its key line, "Assume nothing."  Or something like that.  Don't assume anything.  Okay?  But the movie is fabulous and I love Katharine and her coworkers; great single ladies in the city turning the idea of what a woman should be on its head, even today, but not in an overly aggressive, killing their cause way.  And why can't my lack of punctuality be as charming as Katharine's?

Seriously, how fabulous are they?

So there have been lots of movies & writing in my spare time & unfortunately no time for my bloggy.  But now I am back, I am addicted to Twitter on @josiebozie and I am loving this new Blogger layout.  Also, I need more money for clothes & I wish I was able to attend all the Fashion Weeks.

Also, super excited for She & Him to release their Christmas album on October 25.  It will be mine.  Oh yes - it will be mine.

Can it just be the holiday season already?



I leave you with this, in tribute to our gloriously rainy day:

makin' your dreams come true,
