Feathers by Popular Demand (I'm a trend setter)

I posted a picture on facebook of my new feather hair extensions recently and got a lot of positive feedback as well as people telling me in person that they like the look.  Most people have been asking me where I got it done.  I've suggested the salon, but since it was a little expensive for most people's wallets, I looked at a little youtube video and discovered that it's super easy.  


Here's the look: 




So, I'm going to spread the plumage.  I ordered a little kit from ebay.  I will be happy to put these extensions in anyone's hair that would like it for a small fee.  


I ordered some natural looking feathers.  There are colored feathers out there, too.  I guess if you have certain feathers you want to put in, you can order them yourself then I can do it.  We'll see how it goes.

day 28 - a song that makes you feel guilty

There is not a day in this challenge for a sexy song, so I'll put this here.  I can't listen to this in public because it's sort of risqué.  It's really hot though.  I guess this makes me feel guilty because I can be a bit prudish on the subject of sex.  

Also, I love that Michael Franti and Spearhead is popular, but before he had "i love you" and all those poppy songs, he sang about politics, sex, and drugs. So for anyone that wants to check out an AWESOME album...Check out Stay Human!

day 27 - a song that you wish you could play

Ever since my failed attempt at the guitar I can't say that I have had the desire to learn to play any more instruments.  So I guess I will pay homage to an artist I haven't recognized yet in my 30 day song challenge.  Jason Mraz.  Before he got all big and popular with a top 40 hit, he was touring with Jewel (2nd day in a row I'm mentioning her.)  I saw him open up for her and just fell in love with his voice.  It is so smooth and lovely.  I immensely enjoyed his 1st album, I didn't listen to his 2nd album, and then found that I loved him again with his 3rd album.  Here is a lesser known song by Jason, not any of his studio albums.  It makes me melt.  And I guess if I wanted to I would try to learn to play it, it seems pretty simple; more importantly I wish I had a voice as nice as his.

day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument

I once tried to learn to play guitar.  My dad even bought me one.  I had high hopes of learning every Jewel song because I loved her at the time (before she sold out.) I took my lessons with a guy named Woody Allen.  I'm not sure I could play this anymore, but this is the one bass line I learned on my guitar that actually resembled the song.  I gave up on learning guitar but I still have it and now Matt likes to use it at parties and when he is in a musical mood.
