Talented Collaboration

When a late night show skit is pulled off successfully, it always amazes me. I mean, how much time do these people really have to pull it all together and make it run so smoothly? And then to do it in one take? Genius.

This video is awesome for several reasons:
#1) It's from Jimmy Fallon's show
#2) It features Justin Timberlake as the guest (and I adore him)
#3) The musical selection they picked is perfect!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:



Thanks to Pretty Darn Cool for sharing!

Get up and Dance!

This will help put a little pep in your step on this fine October Monday:




How many movies featured in this clip have you seen???

Tune in to TruTV!

Wow- can you tell I've been busy?? It's been 2 months since I've posted anything here! I've been working on several projects, and hopefully I'll be able to announce them all soon.

However, the biggest project of them all is finally ready to promote: I'm going to be on TV!!

We have been filming a reality show at work for the past year, and it's finally time for it to premiere! It's about all the craziness that happens at Strokers Dallas, Strokers Ice House & Strokers Ink. Rick Fairless, the owner, often has to balance work and family since he runs the 3 businesses with the help of his wife, mother, and daughter.

The show is called Ma's Roadhouse and it premieres next Wednesday, Sept 15th with back-to-back episodes on TruTV at 8pm CST.

Here is the promo currently running on TruTV, TBS, and TNT:

Please tune in next Wednesday. Obviously you can tell by the promo that this is not a kid-friendly show, but don't let that stop you from recording it and watching it after the kids are asleep! Let me know what you think about it after you see the first couple episodes!

And hopefully now that we're done with the first season, I'll have more time to post!

"Shear Genius" Wedding

I only watched a few episodes of Bravo's Shear Genius, but I really liked contestant Janine Jarman. Her sense of style and her cute pocket-sized vintage look were just perfect. Well she was recently married, and I've gotta say, I LOVE everything about this wedding! My favorite part is the fact that she walked down the aisle to a choir singing Madonna's Like a Prayer! I just might have to steal that idea!!

A Shear Genius Wedding!
By Ulrica Wihlborg

Bravo's Shear Genius finalists Janine Jarman and Matthew Morris teamed up again on Saturday, as Jarman married sales executive Matthew Wolcott at the Houdini Mansion in Hollywood.

For the occasion, Morris created two looks for Jarman: A Priscilla Presley-inspired updo for the ceremony and a June Carter-inspired pony tail for the reception.

Jarman, in a custom gown by Jared Gold, walked down the aisle to a choir singing Madonna's "Like A Prayer." The groom wore a tuxedo jacket by Prada and cowboy boots with spurs. The couple exchanged non-denominational vows under an altar adorned with paper flowers made out of dress patterns in honor of Jarman's deceased grandmother.

After the 30-minute ceremony, the 250 guests – including JC Chasez, Ron Fair, and Kevin Martin of Candlebox – enjoyed a romantic outdoor cocktail reception with appetizers such as pigs in a blanket and fried chicken. Event producer Nilo G. with Kapture Events created a "vintage western meets elegant couture" celebration in dusty pastel colors.

Festive elements included a taco stand, a Coolhaus ice cream truck and live performances by bands The Riff Raff, Miss Derringer and Scarling. In lieu of a wedding cake, guests were asked to bring a baked dessert for the dessert bar in honor of the groom's deceased grandmother.

"He's perfect for me because he's my biggest cheerleader," says Jarman of her new husband, whom she met for the first time when she was 12 and reconnected with at the beginning of 2008.

"He cheers me on and he calms me down. We have a great future ahead of us."

Adds Morris: "She's the artistic type who has her iron in a bunch of fires and he's the person who helps her sort things out and grounds her. They complete each other."

Jarman – who was voted the season three fan favorite – and Morris came in second and third respectively on the Bravo show, a hair-styling competition series hosted by model Camila Alves and judged by hair stylists Jonathan Antin, Kim Vo and Orlando Pita.
