Style Cravings & Other Words

CRV (California Recycling Value) this, Arnold!

Grumble:
You drink like a fish and then happily toss those beer bottles into the recycling bin because no matter what they say, your habit actually DOES care about the planet.  Way to go, lady!  I like your recycling moxie, but how about turning those empties into some kick-ass jewelry so you can show the world how committed you are (and when I say committed, I’m not talking about that stint in Bellevue).

Goodness:
Now, I’m not insinuating you should actually DO anything other than (continue to drink and) purchase some of the hottest eco-jewelry out there.  Let’s not get crazy.  You, lift a finger?  Come-come, you’re smarter than that now that you're aware of Smart Glass Jewelry.

Go:
As Kathleen Plate (owner/designer) of Smart Glass says, “you won’t believe how beautiful a beer bottle can be.”  I am SURE your male counterpart has uttered those words more than a few times over the years, and now you can utter them right back at him as you don…

Your new danglers perhaps made from Dos Equis?  By the by, I don't own any of the danglers, but how gorgeous will the blue earrings look with your sweet tan?

 


Or even your new bracelets perhaps made from Boddington?  By the by, tragically I do not own the bangles but am MAD for them!  How Wonderwoman bad A-S-S are they?! 


Lastly, your new necklace perhaps made from New Castle?  By the by, I don't own any of the necklaces, but how killer is it that some of the glass has writing on it?

So, what's the moral of the story?  Drink up, let Kathleen make 'em up so you can buy 'em up which is easy to do since most items are under 100 bucks!!!

You're a trashy voter.

by Tracy Metro

Yeah, I'm talking about YOU!

Grumble:
Thank goodness the campaigning is O-V-E-R and Obama’s in office. Phew. All’s good in the world, right? Well, not so fast my democratic friends. Remember all the months of seeing those McCain/Palin posters stuck in your neighbor’s yard and the Obama/Biden bumper stickers in a pile at your dry cleaners just waiting to be stuck on said bumper? What about the trash bags loaded with voter registration forms and the mess of soda cans thanks to the thirsty volunteers? Yup, all of that waste is… well, waste!

Goodness:
But it doesn’t actually HAVE to be waste according to Nancy Judd, fashion designer of Recycle Runway. Nancy has been changing the way the world thinks about the environment through innovative educational programs and couture fashions made from trash. Yes, trash, people!!!
 
Her garments have been on display close to the runway (as in the REAL runway) at Albuquerque’s and Pittsburgh’s airports with upcoming exhibits at Orlando’s and Atlanta’s airports during the summer on 2011!
 
 
 
Go:
Not that you’re actually gonna wear these garments to the grocery store, but they’re definitely worth a peak to see what imagination, innovation and some good ‘ole fashioned trash can do. Oh, and did I mention that she attended the Green Inaugural Ball in hopes of getting the new Prez to try on her campaign poster jacket!?! Listen, a girl’s gotta have a dream just like MLK!
