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 30 - your favorite song at this time last year

Still love this song.  

day 29 - a song from your childhood

My favorite song from ages 8-11.  

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.  

day 25 - a song that makes you laugh

Really?  Is this serious?  Literally LOL funny. 



day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral

What a lovely message, instead of having your name on your tombstone, have "Love" written on it.  I like that concept.  But I want to be cremated so I guess write it on my urn?

day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding

There is just something about this song that makes me feel warm and fuzzy.  I'm not sure if it will be the song for the first dance, but I know I want this song and some others played at my wedding.  

day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad

I listen to this song to cheer myself up.  First, because it's so darn cute.  And Second, because when I hear it I think of how I posted the lyrics and my friend said, how would you teach sweaters how to dance?  

day 21 - a song that you listen to when you’re happy

I love this song.  Plain and simple.  

day 20 - a song that you listen to when you’re angry

 When listening to this on the radio, I can't remember if it was Matt or me or Natasha that came up with new lyrics "you just don't get it, Matt's a diabetic, you keep on forgetting, he's a f***ing diabetic" This is fun to sing in an angry voice to someone that doesn't get diabetes.

day 19 - a song from your favorite album

This is my favorite album because it perfectly highlights each of the Beatles talents.  It's the kind of album that you listen to all the way through because all the songs sort of go into the next one.  
For anyone who ever thought the beatles couldn't rock, this song proves that wrong.  Trivia to Beatles fans: who says "i got blisters on my fingers" at the end?   

day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio

Any song by Superfrog!!   

day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio

This song is blowing up right now. I hear it on every radio station: college, alternative, pop, I've even heard it in dj mixes for clubs...It doesn't matter, everyone seems to love this song.  It is a really great song.  Adele is a powerful singer and the whole album "21" is excellent.  So even though I hear it on the radio often, I don't really mind and I allow myself to listen to it in its entirety at least once a day and belt it out like I have a great voice (which I don't.)
