my style

the cool bus

35 Comments

one of the things about blogging is that we do it from the comfort of our own homes, quietly typing away at our computers and merrily clicking away. it’s easy to imagine that all of us bloggers just sit indoors all day sans interaction with another soul, lest we happen to awkwardly pause as strangers pass by while we’re snapping self-portraits in front of a tripod. alright, maybe that’s just me i’m talking about, i don’t know. but what i can say is that we don’t get to interact with other bloggers all that often, so you can imagine how happy i am to have had the opportunity to meet the lovely diane of darling darling!

she actually came over last week and we enjoyed a nice afternoon talking shop and drinking a few pumpkin beers in a rose garden by my house, and we kinda sorta didn’t take any pictures. but i was lucky enough to get another visit from her today while she got her hair cut by mr. shannon dean, who is also my very own hair stylist. he worked his magic on her asymmetrical cut and she looks just as cute as can be.

afterward, we decided that we wouldn’t be good bloggers unless we did a little photo shoot, so shannon took us to a silly spot to see the “cool bus” which has also been featured in this post by his equally awesome girlfriend, jennie of going west. and then i almost had a heart attack after we left and i realized that i had left my camera hanging on a chain link fence near said bus. don’t worry, it was still there when we ran back. phew!

so here we are trying to look cool, sharing stories about trains, and nervously laughing in front of the camera.





more pictures from the shoot are at my flickr. all photographs by shannon dean who also furnished us with the bad, bad cigarettes. they’re bad.

  10. You certainly achieved ultimate coolness, especially in the first image :-)
    Maybe it's Mamushka Marie's fault, but I am reminded of Ghost World.

  29. Fantastic pictures and it looks like a great meeting of the minds. You two look like the rebels cutting class to smoke ciggies under the bleachers…

  34. Look at us, partaking in devious skulduggery.

    Haha, I have been waiting to use the word "skulduggery" ever since it was dictionary.com's word of the day a while ago. I think I get nerdier and odder when it's 2:00 in the morning and my eyes and brain are glazed from reading blogs.
