Who's Got Two Thumbs, and Just Drove Through a Rainbow?

That would be (gesturing both thumbs towards myself) THIS BITCH!!!!!

I was on my way home from work, chatting with my Mom on the phone...just your typical drive home. I got into Grafton, right at the Art Bradish Hot Dog place (across from Nelson Park), and the heavens just opened up. Now it was perfectly sunny out before the rain. I still had my sunglasses on and I was not expecting to drive into a wall of giant ploppy water drops coming down in full force.

At that very moment, I remember looking down at the pavement going underneath my car and thinking, "Jeez the pavement isn't even wet yet".

But because I am driving I eventually look up again at the road ahead,  and I swear to you, right in front of me is a rainbow. And not like "rainbow in the sky" kind of rainbow, but the END OF THE RAINBOW was literally ending on 140 South. Right in front of me.

So, I drove through it. I drove through a rainbow. I drove through the end of the rainbow. No shit, I seriously did. I don't know how, and I feel like science is going to somehow contradict me, but I swear to God I drove through the end of the rainbow. Who gets to do that? I'm so mysterious, I'm like a fucking unicorn now.

The rare and elusive "Dana-corn" Known throughout the New England area as "the horniest thing on two legs".

Makeup Is My Wig: A Tribute

Talia Castellano was a very bright and positive 13 year old girl who loved her makeup. Despite an ongoing battle with cancer, she had the energy and artistic passion to host a VERY successful channel on YouTube as a make-up guru. Her motto: Makeup is my wig. Her enthusiasm for life was contagious, and through her positive and fun videos she gained notoriety within the YouTube commuinty and beyond. She even got to meet Ellen Degeneres and become an honorary Cover Girl! 

Talia passed away this morning at 11:22am. I will miss her. I have never met her, but looked forward to her cancer vlog updates and "haul" videos every week to see what she liked and how she was doing. It's funny how someone you've never met can truly touch your heart. While I am saddened by her departure, I feel lucky to have known her through her videos. 

Talia, wherever the universe takes you, I KNOW there will be a Sephora, because you earned it. Rest easy and without pain, my YouTube friend.


A funny dare video :)
