47 is what you get when you drink all of your forty, and then start on your buddies beer before he or she catches you in the act.
(02.19.11)Mmmm I love a massage... actually I might have even had 47 massages last year. I usually rock a massage a week with exception of vacations and such so it's entirely possible. Being as I get the old rub down so regularly I've see a lot of Massage therapists. The best one once asked me if I could smell her fart. AWKWARD!

(02.18.11)Take my little sister on a canoeing trip... we've been dying to go. Just need to find/make time.
(02.18.11)I will probably actually have time to finish some albums... that would be awesome. and take my hot wife on a date.
(02.18.11)I'll play war and dolls with my little girls - they are not your typical little girls - they are kickin' ass, body slamming Alice-in-Wonderland who just happen to like tying up the White Rabbit and runs with the Mad Hatter who are frickin' AWESOME, and they are only 2 and 3 years old . . . lately I've not been doing some play time with them, and by using Jesh's actions, I will be down with the girls and I will play the Queen of Hearts and let them say, "Off with your head!!!" to me while toting water guns.

To enter the contest, all you have to do is go follow @ImpossibleUSA on twitter and RT this phrase...
Hey @ImpossibleUSA, @AirplaneBlazer sent me. Gimme that SX-70! #ABTIP http://bit.ly/gjzv4a
You must be an Airplanes + Blazers attendee to win. Contest will run today through Sunday and we'll pick a winner on Monday so you can pick up your camera that night at the party!
do you have a really important shoot coming up? getting engagement shots taken? want to add an extra level of detail to your workshop or beef up your portfolio? catherine & jaimi are ready to help! they are offering free styling & beauty (hair/makeup) for 2 people for any shoot in LA not held on a saturday. (if you aren't in LA it would be worth coming just for them!)
here's how to win! you're dropped in the middle of the dancefloor at airplanes & blazers, what's the one item of clothing or beauty product that you can't be without? put your answer in the comments. winner will be chosen friday.
the one item of clothing I would want after being dropped from the skies onto the dancefloor would be a lovely fitted up top, flowy on the skirt type dress that would move softly with my moves and spin high with my spins and keep me cool when I bust out some serious moves.
(02.14.11)My vintage silk neck scarf. I can take it off and twirl it about to enhance my dance moves.
(02.14.11)I would want my funky platform shoes so I can dance the night away and look cute!!!
(02.15.11)Lip balm. Saves chapped lips, hides dry skin.... and if my feet start to hurt from dancing it out too hard... just slather a bit of balm on my blisters and keep on dancin'!
(02.16.11)My gloss- aptly names boy bait!!
(02.16.11)I have a little obsession with finding the perfect outfit for every big night out - this is the outfit I do not want to be without. This is what I am going to be wearing in the middle of the dance floor at Airplanes and Blazers:
http://www.shopbop.com/ci/3/lb/brand/alice/aliceolivia-03.html
mascara. not that creative...but it's the one thing I absolutely cannot leave home without. ever.
(02.17.11)these amazing vivienne westwood dragon lady shoes! i mean...if these don't get your feet moving...i don't know what will!
http://www.idontlikemondays.us/page/IDLM/PROD/09010192
That would definitely be red lipstick. It makes me feel polished even when I'm just wearing jeans and shirt.
(02.18.11)I would say bronzer. Recently discovered what it does for me and I'm it's newest fan lol... Although my #2-4 would be mascara, lipgloss and of course these new amazing shoes I recently purchased by Luichiny. xo

check out forage's new collection and tell us which bow tie makes you want to dance your face off at airplanes & blazers in the comments. forage is also offering a 10% discount for all you airplanes + blazers readers when you enter in the code SMILEBOOTH at checkout.
WOW!! I've been shopping for bowties for my husband for weeks!! How come I haven't seen these? The Spring Fever {feild} is *perfect* for his new suit he's wearing to the party. Nothing else I've seen even comes close to how cool these are.
(02.12.11)Eames Green Arrowhead! That thing is freaking rad!
(02.12.11)Spring fever (park) is so very Andy Warhol, love it!
(02.12.11)Your 1940's broadcloth thistle style multi, makes me hear David Bowie music just looking at it ... my neck craves you ... "Let's Dance!"
(02.12.11)I love the 1940's red one (http://forage.bigcartel.com/product/red-1940-s-plaid) for my fiance. We are going to need one for the wedding, too...
(02.12.11)I think it would be so so fun to win one for the significant other! I love the 1940's plaid red!!
(02.12.11)My patent leather shoes are spit polished to a shine, an old pair of cufflinks the perfect match, (faded key lime). The suite is amazing as you will see. With one small detail missing, oh can this be?!!! No ordinary tie will suffice, for I am dressing for an epic event and need your advice. What's that you say? Creative black tie with a twist? I must choose carefully, then, this I insist. Oh yes I think I've found it! The end of my search mission. It's plaid and green, made from vintage material a limited edition! This is the one, it will surely hits the bulls eye, of course from best: a Forage Bow Tie! Yes, the women will love it my look now complete, they will whistle-n-smile as I sport my {green plaid} 1940's broadcloth thistle-n-style.
(02.13.11)Spring Fever (garden) is AWESOME! My hubby would be soooo sexy dancing his face off in this bad boy!
(02.13.11)The yellow 1940's plaid makes me feel like I'd want to rock out hard like the nard-dog, Andy Bernard.
(02.14.11)I NEED spring favor (park). I would dance ALLLLLL day and night long.
(02.15.11)I'm pretty smittin' for {calder} mid-century collection, but they all are pretty fabulous!
(02.15.11)
