There’s no way that it would take more time to have him point at a line of text on a menu than to get two managers involved to eventually decide on and approve the plan Josh came up with.

this was my yearbook picture. i was heavily into wicca at the time (it was the 90s) and claimed the hat was a religious thing as the yearbook photo day was on halloween.

I went through a Black Panthers phase. I don’t know what else to say.

Wrap a pink boa around my shoulders and there you go.

I never figured out why I went for the Sally Jessie Raphael glasses — especially as a guy — and that sweater...oh my god was I that horrifically bad at dressing myself?!

This isn’t my senior portrait - they were all toooo frightening. But this one is hilarious! I enjoyed my wacky new wave cut and rocked my Depeche Mode shirt. The haircut started short on one side and then gradually angled down to the long side. I was like one of those spiral wind chimes. 7th grade, man.

It was 2004, I wanted to look glamorous. They gave me a boa and a rose and I got my hair relaxed (which didn’t completely work and you can tell by the over all crimping) and my eyebrows over plucked. At the time I thought I looked amazing, the epitome of glamour and style. Now, not so much.

Not really embarrassing I guess. Fun fact: There were 3 days that year that I *didn’t* wear that kilt (which I still have)

I had a GRAND vision for my senior portraits. I was really into Judy Garland and attempted to recreate her ‘Get Happy’ look from Summer Stock. I just KNEW that this photo was going to be pure artistic expression...

Oh hello 1996.

Broke and resourceful as I am, a friend took my senior photos on her Nokia and we edited them all on Paint. It was an uphill battle to get the yearbook staff to actually allow this (“WE NEED A CLEAR PHOTO OF YOUR FACE”, “NO PICTURES TAKEN WITH CAMERA PHONES/EDITED WITH PAINT”), but I eventually made it.

Mine aren’t bad, I liked my professional senior portraits. The really embarrassment was the shortness of the dress I wore for graduation. See, my best friend and I had decided in junior high that were were going to wear her mom’s wedding dress and her mom’s graduation dress for our graduation. The problem here is I am…

Brookstone’s Cambridge 20” Hardsided Carry-on Spinner. I love this thing. I’ve had it for li

The Kate Spade Saturday Weekender. The compartment on the bottom is a lifesaver and it comes with a removable toiletry bag.

I think we all know Lion King won this one.

I’ve worked as a freelance artist for a long time and there’s a certain percentage of the industry (mostly established white men over 40) who absolutely refuse to talk about money. It makes it incredibly difficult to find out as you’re breaking into the industry whether or not you’re getting screwed. I got screwed for…

And how’s that rape kit backlog going?

This is a great opinion piece on the whole affair. From the article:

embarrassing cheering is literally the most important part of graduation ceremonies.
