facebook 25 things
this took forever, so I figured I'd share it:
1. My full name is Jessica Elizabeth Luciana Incorvaia, I never really liked the Jessica part until recently and had always considered legally changing it to Tabitha.
2. I watched nickelodeon more than any other network well into my mid 20's and always wanted to work in children's media. (and be a puppet). I did work for the show 'oobi' for a brief period of time.
3. Men of my dreams (MOMD's) include but are not limited to: Jim henson, woody allen, nicolas cage, and adrien brody.
4. If it was legal to marry frogs or puppets I would be mrs. kermit the frog.
5. Yesterday I found a cat at petsmart that I want to adopt ASAP... she's a black and white tuxedo cat, whom I would name Francine, and call Frankie. Total catbabe.
6. I'm strongly considering getting "loosey" and "tighty" tattooed on my left and right wrists respectively... just because I can't think of a sillier tattoo than the ones I already have.
7. I have a tenacious d tattoo. it says 'i ousd'... my cousin jackie has the 'tenac' part.
8. Hands down my favorite thing to do is go for walks at dusk.
9. Worlds best board game? hungry hippos... probably the only game I'm good at.
10. It would take me approximately 46 years to realize that all sports have been obliterated from the planet. I do not care about sports at all and I never watch them.
11. My grandmother was a lounge singer, and I always wanted to follow in those footsteps... I may make that a goal of 2009.
12. I took piano lessons for 10 years and spanish for 15 and I suck at both.
13. I secretly write scripts and keep a notebook of premises because I'm a geek for movies.
14. I never had braces and I don't whiten my teeth... but somehow my teeth are my most complimented feature.
15. Once I pooped a squirrel.. just kidding. But I do love poop jokes.
16. Target (the store) makes me happy.... sometimes I go there for hours just to wander and look at things. It's my temple.
17. I grew up roman catholic, but ever since seeing "slumdog millionaire" I'm not really sure what I am. I dunno why, but this movie made me really question my lifestyle.
18. My cousins are the best people in the world, I would gladly leap into traffic for any one of them. except for jenna, she's a total jackass. jkjk
19. My policy on food is that, if someone eats it in some culture and says it's food then I will try it. But, ever since going to the Erie county fair and seeing the pigs, I will not eat pork.
20. I would have to say my favorite song is Joni Mitchell, case of you.. I'm a sucker for girl singers and acousticals.
21. I want to teach art classes to kids one of these days... like crazy fucking guerilla art none of that crayons and paper junk. I may wait for my own kids to show up.
22. One of my favorite tricks is drawing monsters out of things... draw me a doodle and I will draw you a monster.
23. I have the dumbest phobia ever: butterflies. Once at a wedding they let butterflies loose instead of throwing rice. I couldn't stop whimpering and I dove under my moms chair. I was 19 years old.
24. When my mom tried to analyze my 'type' of man she said I like blue eyes, a full head of hair, and assholes.
25. I want to plant corn in my flowerbed outside of the store... don't you think that would be silly?

the 200th post
I'd like to dedicate this 200th post to one of my favorite sayings...
dating back to it's first recorded use in 'wayne's world'
to the backstreet boys b-side track:
and being perfected by michael scott of 'the office'
it gets better every time. (that's what she said)

your mom circa 1966
Ever since my trip to the laundromat last week I've been trying to pinpoint the style of a certain woman I saw. Fitted denim shirt, blond bouffant, red lips, highwaisted jeans, keds. So cool, I could just picture here bringing the cherry pie to the picnic, drinking a sloe gin fizz, shooting pop cans with a BB gun, and talking about her cats mopsy and elvis.
First I was thinking along the lines of 'steel magnolia's' 'now and then' and the mom in 'hope floats'.
Then ms. mama dirty allured me into the idea of "sixties mom". Although it's not exactly what I was thinking the results are great and I'm really feeling these ladies as my style icons of 2009:

fucking allergies
I keep getting hives... so I've scouring the interweb trying to figure out what the fuck is up. Well here it is my good people, after weeks of food journals, a home made allergy scratch test, and 3 hours of extensive cosmetic research I think I know what I'm allergic to:
your mom.
jkjk... here's what I found:
1. diet pop like diet 7up and coke zero contain the artificial sweetener 'acesulfame potassium' it is not good, it gives me hives.
2. most shampoos contain 'methylchloroisothiazolinone' no I'm not making that word up, it is a preservative and it is not good, it gives me hives on my scalp.
3. my mascara, l'oreal voluminous, contains 'imidazolidinyl urea' which is pretty much pee... on my eye lashes, it is not good, it makes my eyes burn.
4. johnson's baby shampoo, which I bought with the notion that if its sensitive enough for baby it must be ok for me, contains 'quaternium-15' AKA formaldehyde. It is not good, it gives me hives.
that's all I have for now, but I'm sure there is more... until I get a real allergy test.

monday monday
This morning my car died so I called AAA. Four hours later, I'm looking out my window for the tow truck and a little old lady passes out right next to my dead car. a firetruck, two ambulances, and a tow truck all arrived at the same time. The lady is fine now. My car however, may have seen it's last day.

movies movies movies
since I've started my love affair with netflix, I've gotten a lot of style inspirations from various characters in movies:
FACTORY GIRL - the story of edie sedgwick: socialite, friend to andy warhol, and lover of bob dylan. Although I didn't really love this movie, I thought edie's fashion was ill. black tights, huge dangley earrings, thick black eye liner. I've always had a thing for late 50's early 60's fashion, but I'm like ABSOLUTELY FREAKING OUT about how great it is now. Behold the real edie:
THE GRADUATE - listed in every cinematicians top 100 films. Dustin Hoffman stars as an old-money ivy league all-star grad home from school and lost in life. The movie follows him as he floats through summer, an affair with the wife of his fathers business partner, and ultimately an epic chase to win the heart of elaine, daughter of said business partner. Although the fashion in this movie isn't entirely noteworthy, elaine's suede trench has got me feenin'. above all, the general aesthetic of the film is just breathtaking:
sedmikrasky - or daisies in english, is a czech surrealist film about 2 sisters who see that the world has gone bad, and decide to go bad with it. It's a story of binging and purging, creating and destroying, excess and nothingness. Ultimately it's a political commentary, but the imagery belongs in the MoMA:

if there was a problem yo I'll solve it...
my winter hat was getting stinky... stinky like my stinky stinky hair. I needed a quick fix, and I remembered what a very dear friend told me about de-stinking his jeans: put them in a freezer. sounded crazy, but I took my old hat put it in a plastic bag and tucked it away between the waffles and the vodka.
this morning I took it out and gave it a sniff... no more stink!
too cold.

dress fail
I was watching the inauguration coverage and talking on the phone with my mom when holy shit!!?!?!?!?!
at first I thought it was a clip from regan's inauguration, but NO! Someone actually created this dress - in this decade! all of ABC network's sanity and good taste was clearly somewhere on the lost island because they allowed this burgundy nightmare to go to the inaugural ball. poor cynthia mcfadden.
I made mom run to the tv to check it out. tanya harding would be so jeal jeal. double axle triple gag.
also, it's nice to know the dynasty was there to represent.

return your attitude
Some things I learned in kindergarten
1. you are not any more or less special than any other human on this planet
2. demanding something unreasonable from a person is abusive and hurtful
3. if someone tells you 'no' you should respect their request
4. raising your voice does not make your point more valid
5. respect other people's space and the rules of other peoples houses
this goes for every part of life, what makes people think when they come in a store all the rules are null and void?
if you want to come into my store and make a return, all you have to do is remember these things... and I will be more than willing to accommodate you with a smile on my face.
if you want to forget all your manners and be a dick?
honestly what am I supposed to do.
thanks for making me cry you big meanie. <--- true story
