The Kills @ HOB


These 2 were at House of Blues Sunday night.
Allison changed her hair color - now its a bleached out pinkish.  She looked like Animal when she danced/played.
I love how spastic their movements are when the music's got'em.
Their percussionists had glow in the dark drumsticks and looked like robots.  I didn't get any pictures of them cuz they were around the corner from where we were standing by the bar.  Plus, my phone pics usually suck.
Everyone had skinny jeans on.  Out of the 500ish people that were there - I'd say a good 3/4 were in skinny jeans.
Matthew was wearing his kilt.  I didn't see anyone else wearing one.
The merch stand was fantastic!  They rolled up our shirts with the poster we bought into a triangular tube so nothin' got messed up.
Fans blew up and started tossin' around black balloons for when they played "Black Balloon".  That was fun.
They saved my jam for the encore.  Made me happy.
They also did "Fuck The People" towards the end, cuz everyone who comes through HOB at Disney has to throw a finger up at the machine at some point during the show.  Its a requirement now.

My Favorite Photos From Christmas 2011

Got a new little red Canon ELPH for Christmas.  Its my new party cam.  So I was playing with it all day Christmas & New Years.
Not the GREATEST pics ever but its quick and dirty and exactly what I needed it for.

The spread.  Christmas Gyros!!

 Sidewalk chalk rules.

 New American Gothic.


My Favorite Snaps from NYE 2012

Fancy card games.

 The pinky makes the drink taste better.

The hat says it all.

2012 KM Photo Project #1

So, every once in a while, Martha and I make dumb faces, take pictures of our dumb faces, and bomb each other's facebook pages for a day.

Example:




...and so on and so forth.  Until our faces get tired.
Since we rather enjoy playing with cameras (and our faces), I thought it'd be fun to do a photo project together this year.
For January, we chose to do a pinup inspired photo.  Here's how they turned out:

 Martha said this was, "nothing magical"

I'm standing in the tub.

What Karen learned from #1:  My eyebrows are ridiculous & in need of a wax.  I want gel liner and my hair to grow out faster.  And I wish to not sweat as much when setting up.....

What Martha learned from #1: Pinups get more sex.  Don't underestimate a good red lipstick.  Forget it....I'm tired.
