Ninjas. Tyra Banks. SYDNI!

[three unrelated things, btw]

So.... As most of you know, my day hinges on people.
Among the many firsts that I have encountered in the past few years of my job [usually in the form of the most bizarre answers to ordinary questions], today presented a new one:

#icallbluff. #ohreally #inthatcaseyou'rehired #youwin

^ Yes. The applicant put NINJA as a job title. This is real life, on a real application, at a real place. We didn't know what to think on this one, other than, "wow" and that this is just one of those amazing firsts that seem to be so rare anymore.

What's the weirdest thing you've seen on or put on a job application?

.... Moving on... here's something else to wrap the eyes around today.. I saw this on a friend's page and wanted to share. I'm not a prolific follower of Tyra Banks, the fashion industry, or really anything pop-culture in general; call me mildly savvy and informed, but certainly not a daily subscriber. This peaked my interest and I thought I'd share. I'm no makeup artist or stylist, but I know a few and give them all the credit in the world when their work is as exact and skilled as this.

Tyra Transformations!

Take note: I'm not promoting or supporting any certain lifestyle or image here [I have a self-obligated need to say that; I spent a lot of time in college counseling younger girls on the importance of inner-based self-worth, which so absolutely trumps physical and material worth.. but I digress]... I do see this as an incredible art form: the ability to transform into another person essentially, all via hair and makeup, is beyond my skillset and kind of cool to marvel over.

But.. FYI:

♥ this

^ I have nothing against models, but I do find it fascinating. The ladies on the bottom, to me, are gorgeous, and if we're being honest.... realistic. Again.. I digress. - Just sayin.

Last to mention but first on my priorities: Sydni's here this week and that means.... it's going to be a GOOD WEEK. (: (: (: We're stickering [yes, that's a verb when you have a 4-year-old] and having a party. Attending will be Mike Wazowski, Rapunzel, Curious George, a couple sorority girls [aka, Barbies {no disrespect intended}], a kangaroo, Frank the Ladybug Pillow Pet... and of course, Mickey Mouse.

Betcha wish you were here, huh.. haha.

Party time.
