Because I need more polaroid-like gadgets in my life

I already own a Fujifilm instax camera AND a printer, but I really want this. Polaroid overkill? Nevah.

Lent Magazine

So I just found out about Lent Magazine. No, it has nothing to do with that religious holiday where it's a sin to eat meat on Fridays. This website's got interviews, short stories, journals, art and a piece written by my girl Elizabeth Tran. Good shit. Check it out.

Yearbook Party

Nope, these aren't photos from an actual yearbook. This was the amazing work of Shark Pig. They threw a Yearbook Party for all of their friends and dressed up in 50's garb to produce this beauty. Um. BRILLIANT idea! After I saw this, I immediately messaged my friend about it. She responded:

"I absolutely love this idea...I never knew how much I needed a mock yearbook spread of all our friends until now."

She's planning on buying a house and she said that this would be the perfect theme for a housewarming party. YES. I cannot wait. I'm making sure that we will follow through with this plan. THIS WILL HAPPEN.

Two more months! Two more months!

I. Cannot. Wait.

COCKA COCKA CAWWWW!!!!!!!

BUKU

I had the honor of attending Buku this past weekend. This was the 2nd year that they have put on this event. I was only able to jump in on Saturday's festivities but it still was AMMMAAAZZZIINNNGGGG. I saw all of the headliners: Calvin Harris, Kendrick Lamar, Passion Pit, and of course a ton of other shows that night. I was super excited I got to see Starfucker because that was who I HAD TO SEE. Oh, and Major Lazer's show was a RIOT. Ugh, can someone lend me their Dolorean so I can travel back to that night please?

So many great shows, great people and great vibes. Here are some of my highlights. I'm no professional photographer, so bear with my instagrammed iPhone jankyness.

Starfucker. So so so good.

My friend made these shirts that said "Bukrewe" on the front and "Express Yourself" on the back. Lots of handstands were done that night.

Someone let us play with their laser pen and we got to write on this guy's shirt with it. I don't know the physics behind it, but it was mind blowing. We literally drew with a laser beam and when we were done, the image remained on the guy's shirt. Too cool for school.

Here's a snapshot from Major Lazer. Yea, that's Diplo rolling around in a bubble ball. Yea. AMAZING!

Here's a 10 second video I took with my phone. As you can see, the show was packed. I don't know if you can make it out in the video, but there was a balcony that ran around the entire room that was also filled with people.


And to cap off my Buku experience, a dinosaur astronaut I found in the crowd.

Hopefully I'll see you next year Buku!

I like my Bloody Marys, like I like my men, chunky.

This is probably THE CRAZIEST Bloody Mary I've ever seen. I mean, just look at that thing! This massive beauty has got shrimp, some cheese, beef jerky, celery, sausage, a lime,  asparagus, brussel sprouts, green beans, okra, a pickle, onions, tomatoes, olives, a CRAWFISH and a BACON AND CHEDDAR SLIDER! God, it's so wonderful. I get excited when I get extra spicy beans in my Blood Mary, but this BM would make me the happiest girl in the world. Next time I'm in Dallas, I'm definitely stopping by Anvil Pub and getting me one of these.

Because who doesn't like hot creme sprayed in their faces?

Remember that physicist who built the overly complicated machine to separate the creme from Oreo cookies? Well, looks like Nabisco's Cookie v. Creme campaign is back with a part 2 to this Oreo separator series. I personally am not a big fan of Oreos, but it is fun watching these inventors come up with these super elaborate contraptions.

Same WOTS, different look. WOTS 3.0!

We've got a new layout AND a new domain! www.wordonthesidewalk.com We're OFFICIAL!!!! Let's travel back in time and remissness on how we got to this wonderful stage in our blogging life. 

WOTS 1.0

Remember when we started off on Uber? And then it shut down... so we had to move to Blogger? This was our original header, designed by the amazing GHP.

WOTS 2.0

Then we decided to go for a new header, which was our last layout. God I really loved and still love this header. We blogged with it for A LONG time, went away for a while and then came back and blogged on it for a week and then...

WOTS 3.0!!!

It's so beautiful. I can't get over it. And have you even clicked on everything in the sidebar? It's pretty amazing. Golden Hot Pants, you are a genius when it comes to coding and layouts. I hope everyone enjoys our new look because I know I do.

I present to you Boba Fett

SOMEBODY FIND ME THIS BAG OF CHEETOS NOWWWWWWW

I seriously just did a Google Images backwards search to try and find the distributor of this! I LOVE Cheetos Puffs. Every time my grandma visits, she brings me 4 HUGE bags of them. They are so addictive. They just melt in your mouth. Uggghhhhh so processed cheese good. You know what would be even better than a jumbo bag of Cheetos Puffs? A jumbo bag of FLAMIN' HOT CHEETOS!!!! Ohhhhh man... my mouth is watering right now just thinking about that red hot 25% of your daily sodium intake goodness. I need help.

Fun fact: The inventor of Flamin' Hot Cheetos was a janitor.

Pantone + Food = Yumtastic Deliciously Awesome Art

These two amazing artists paired Pantone colors and food in such different, yet beautiful ways.  I especially love the bacon and egg combo because, uhhh who doesn't love bacon?!! and eggs, but more importantly BACON!
