help

can anyone in nyc with slightly wavy hair recommend a good stylist, not too pricey? I just got my hair cut and I hate it. somehow, hair stylists always assume I like my hair straight and blown out, and cut it that way. I don't! I hate blown-out straight hair! last time, even after telling the stylist that I like my hair wavy, she went ahead and did it that way. not to mention that she was 45 minutes late for the appointment, then had to rush through the cut. when i told her at the end that I wanted more taken off the sides, she butchered it up. now it doesn't fall correctly. honesty, I feel like a sap in the hands of a hair dresser. I try to watch what they're doing and not correct them while they're in process, but it always seems to backfire in my face. the picture above is what I brought to the stylist before this one. somehow, she left long pieces in the front, even though it is clear from the photo that the sides are shorter.

help!

maui dreaming

just uploaded a bunch of photos to my flickr page. many more to come.

more love

what started as a fluke ended up getting some attention in the blogosphere. why, the pipeline on refinery 29 compared b's design to a comme des garçons' runway look! in all honesty, b's response when I asked him for some detailed instructions for the lamp was "I like playing with glue."

another few posts include:

this would be a nice addition.


this too.

more looks

I was so thrilled to see that the Italian blog ri-creazione ("re-creation") posted about b's chandelier. though they credited me with designing the lamp, I was tickled by their interpretation of the piece. allow me to impress you with my translation from the Italian:

"It is hard to imagine how to recycle some things creatively. For example, those polystyrene beads that are used to fill a cardboard box to protect fragile goods. The clever blogger and designer Dash had the ingenious idea to take advantage of the beads' resemblance to popcorn and construct an amusing chandelier out of them."

okay, a little choppy, but you get the idea.

grazie, ri-creazione.

styro chandelier on design*sponge

grace at design*sponge loves promoting those diy projects. so I had a hunch she might like b's packing peanut chandelier. and here it is on today's d*s, as part of diy wednesdays! thanks grace.

*because so many people commenting on d*s today are concerned about safety, I'm adding a photo of how the lamp hangs. the bulb isn't actually inside the lamp, rather the chandelier hangs below the light fixture. I hope this helps.

my boy b

before the stoop sale, b was going through our spare camera equipment, testing out the manual nikon lens on my digital. he took some shots of the chandelier he made from styrofoam packing peanuts.

look ->->-> my bush countdown meter has dropped below 100!

now the numbers aren't lining, up so I'll have to ask b, my little code monkey, to fix it. he rewrote the script from the widget I got from the credo website, which wasn't working.
