….. because if you can’t have a laugh sometimes then what’s the point?

Dressed up diva stylee with jumbo rollars and shades. Ghetto fab ridiculous. Perfect for having a laugh while food shopping.
I got the idea from the Diesel Be Stupid ad campaign which has images everywhere that cracked me up.

ps. the second video was a clip taken from the Jay Leno show of people with strange talents.

This guy’s brows had me going whaaaaaaaaa? Stupid? Of course it bloody well is!

ps. Need sound for both vids.

Enjoy the weekend, have a laugh and do something to raise an eyebrow 😉

    I love how no one even blinked an eye but that’s NY for you!
    In my small town, there is no way I could do that. People would be laughing and pointing and even though I’d be trying to have fun with it, that would hurt me.

    Wondering what your hair looked like after taking the rollers out.

    And have you tried Cupcake Pebbles cereal?

    P.S. What program do you use to edit your video’s?

    Haha! Love it. Great pics. 🙂

  69. The Queen of Hearts says:

    I don’t get what the “be stupid” aspect of this post is. I don’t know about but I can certainly speak for myself (and some of my former neighbors in Brooklyn) and running around with rollers in the hair was nothing unusual. Sitting under a dryer for an hour and a half when you smell the enchilada that the girl across from you is eating will provide more than motivation to head for the great city outdoors as you are. I think its a misnomered shoot.

    off with her H E A D

  96. Karen says:

    Woah!! Thx EVERYONE FOR THE COMMENTS. I swear it was such a laugh doing this shoot.

    Taylor – Photoshop or sometimes the features built into Apeture which I use to house all my blog photos.

    Magisparkles – I think its Show Orchid by MAC actually no its the other one: Schiap by NARS.

    pkjb – omg he needs to watch the vid and see if he can do it to music. Unless he does already.

    Anon – I know the fact that most pple just carried on doing their shopping while I’m standing posing just added to the funniness (is that a word?).

    Brigadeirio – congrats and yes the shoes will be waiting for you ; )

    Caylee – yes it is.
    Anon – thx for the shoe link. I’m after something though with MONSTER high platforms.

    or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!
