It's Aloha Friday!

No work 'til Tuesday! Well, hopefully that's the case. This weekend we're celebrating Independence in the U.S. Word on the street is that I'll be heading to Coney Island with my kid sister.

#1 - Link us to something you'll do outside this weekend:

I will for sure be riding 'The Wonderwheel'. If you're like me, and you're always trying to pick between your two favorite rides:Rollercoaster or Faris wheel? Rollercoaster or Feris Wheel?!!? The pain of having to choose is over. The Wonderwheel is both. Yep. It's practically the greatest ride ever. We're hoping for delicious weekends!
#2-What will you get or make in the kitchen?!

#3 - What kick back thing will you do inside?

..............................................................................
#1 - Something you're going to do outside?
#2 - Something you're making or getting from the kitchen?
#3 - Something you'll be doing indoors?

Aloha Friday - Summertime and the Living's Easy

It's here. OFFICIAL KINE. It's Summer and It's Aloha Friday so I get to speak pigeon English.

On Wednesday the Duchess and I blew off from our job-job's early and met at our favorite nail salon in the Slope. There was bliss in the air as we had our nails did. Mine are florescent orange and the Duchess is rocking 'nude' , the latest nail trend. We ended up talking about things that make us happy and of course our minds turned to music. OK. You know the drill!

#1 - The music that puts that special sundress vibe in your walk. It might be nostalgia or it might be brand new, but it is totally your sound of summer.

Every Summer I relish reading Cynthia Voight's middle grade treasure trove, the Tillerman series. This weekend at the beach I'm toting my favorite of the set, 'A Solitary Blue'.

#2 - What book are you thrilled to be carrying in your tote this season?

Ready for the third Aloha Friday clue? WILD CARD!
#3 - It's not Summer without ____________

GOODIE GOODIE!



OK, Let's Remix this baby:
OK. RECAP TIME!
..............................................................................
#1 - Your Sound of Summer
#2 - The Summer Read You're Dying to Read

It's Aloha Friday!

It's Aloha Friday Father's Day, no work 'til Monday... doo doot doo doot doot doot doot dooo doot doot do do.... that is unless you're prepping for a Father's Day fete'. I am prepping for a phone call and a lot of beach time. Usually Amber INK. is all about girls. This weekend we'd like to focus on the men in our lives who matter.

Here's me and my younger siblings with my
dad on a particularly lovely Easter Sunday in the 80s.

Here's my momma and biz-naz partner, Incredimobo (aka Pam) on her daddy's lap chilling with her brother and 'the aunts' in the 1960s. You just know there were jello moulds in that kitchen somewherez.

SO this weekend we look to our Father's or our Father Figures or our kid's Fathers to do Aloha Friday up right.

We got such a kick in pants over all of last week's awesome Aloha Friday dreamz comments. This week we're going to blow up the comments again.
Share each of your picks in the comments section!

#1 - A memory of your dad or your baby's daddy or an uncle or a grandfather, pick your father's day poison.



On the morning of my white-robed high school graduation I unearthed my long lost white high heels from under my bed. To my shock and horror they were worse than grimy. They were scrody. We were living on a prayer at the time - no dollars at all for new shoes, especially when I hadn't taken care of the first. I knew that I was royally screwed. I did what any teenager would do. I had a breakdown. My meltdown encouraged mom to have one pushing me to declare "MY LIFE IS RUINED!!!" I scrubbed them until the dirt on them went muddy while dad chuckled at the 'NOT A LAUGHING MATER!"

"You know..." he interrupted my sobs, "I bet we could paint them." What?! He hooked up his airbrush, my dad does not take painting lightly, and three coats later I had the shiniest most sparkling pair of shoes on stage. I remember everyone saying how awesome my heels were, and knowing I had the best secret ever. Dad saves the day and my graduation, and at eighteen, I still get to feel like my dad is a hero. Well played, father. Well played.

#2 - Something (a noun or verb) that always reminds you of your dad, hubby, uncle etc....



Stacks of napkins. My dad is incapable of letting a paper napkin go to waste. No matter where we are, if there are any stray unused napkins in sight, dad collects them, folds them twice and puts them in his shirt pocket. We tease him and he tells us about the importance of trees. It's a tradition

Side note: At an airport dive bar with my brother earlier this year, I left the table, turned to grab my purse, and caught my kid brother stuffing our table's remaining napkins into the back pocket of his slacks. OH THE GLEE THAT MOMENT BROUGHT ME!

Which slides us the perfect segue to our last Aloha Friday buzz:

#3 - A habit or a trait that you have that is either genetic or learned from your daddy or father figure, or one that you love to see in your kids, because you know it's from your hubby.


Yup. Flat as a pancake.

OK, This got long! Next week short and sweet, promise!
RECAP TIME
..............................................................................

All about your father or father figure or baby daddy:
#1 - A memory
#2 - An object or place or thing that reminds you of them
#3 - Something you learned, inherited or something you see in your kids

ALOHA FRIDAY - Dreamz Dreamz Dreamz

Lately there has not been much sleep happening at Amber Ink. Luckily our ThINK tank girls are ON IT and they keep us running on our toes while we trail behind their blazes.

So today, we're thinking a little about sleep and more specifically dreams.

#1 - A dream that you have had while you were sleeping.

Years ago I had a dream that Tobey McGuire and I were soul mates. I don't even really like him as an actor. He doesn't fit the parameters of my typical male fantasy, even though the boy can rock a skinny jean something fierce. Although in the dream we were meant to be. I still feel this uber strong bond with him, after nursing him back to health from an untimely illness during the civil war. What?! (leave anything you want to tell us about your dream in the comments. GOSH I love comments)

#2 - A day dream you have.

The first time the Duchess and Rachel and I went to the Bahamas, We saw this yacht out our window every morning when we woke up. The Duchess rechristened it "Genovia" after Anne Hathaway's Princess Diary kingdom (don't worry, this was before we almost died of Anne Hathaway over exposure). My day dream is to sail to the Bahamas on my yacht. It's a simple dream, really. LOL

#3 - A Dream You Will Make Come True


In the process for looking for a good starting place for bucket list ideas I found this blog post, in which sixth graders get in on the idea. It's sure to offer some fodder for thought.

OK. RECAP TIME!
..............................................................................
#1 - A dream you once had while you were asleep
#2 - A day dream
#3 - A dream you will make come true.

It's ALOHA FRIDAY...

and since design week is officially ended in NYC,

that means that the Chelsea Flower show is officially starting in the U.K! 

And wouldn't you know, they are SOLD OUT!  rude. 

We will just have to beat them to their Opuntia phaeacanthas  

and have our own AmberInk version.

This is going to be hard.

You're going to really have to focus.

1.  If you are going to stop and smell the flowers,
 which flower would it be?

2.  Tell us your favorite flower blog or .com

3.  Where in the world are your very favorite gardens?

Then why wasn't blogger working?  Hmmm?

Do you suffer from Friggatriskaidekaphobia too?

It might be time to just lay it out there!

#1.  What is your biggest phobia?

#2.  One thing you would absolutely NOT do on a Friday the 13^th?

Aloha Friday - Comfort Zone

Last night I took a break from the breakneck pace of getting prepped for my show and I went to see Amon Amarth live in concert. Just incase you're not familiar with them... HAHA... they're a viking death metal band.....

In my early twenties I was a NYC music junkie, needing my next concert like a heroine addict needs their next fix. Indie Rock, Heavy Metal and hard core Rock and Roll were life blood. Then I grew up, got serious about my art etc. etc.

I was actually terrified about this concert, ducking into a bodega to buy ear plugs on my way there. Turns out once a metal head, always a metal head. It was pure bliss. I still have a Metal (head)ache from head banging, but other than that I'm only better for the ware.

OK. SOooooooooooooooooooooooo
#1 - What's something you used to love that you haven't done in ages,
and would like to start doing again?

After a night dodging crowd surfers and screaming my lungs out it was so nice to climb the stairs to my little apartment and snuggle into my big ol' bed with my wait for it... SNUGGIE.

#2 - What's something that you have in your 'safe place' that you totally love?

If the experience at the concert would have been scary or horrible, there would have been a clear remedy -- Strictly Ballroom. If I were a doctor I'd have a prescription pad that gave people movie rentals.


#3 - What thing can you do or watch that makes you feel better no matter what?

.....................................................................

Aloha Friday - Royally Yours

The link ruling my weekend.
http://royalwedding.yahoo.com/

Let's start at the very beginning....

*SIGH*

This Aloha Friday we celebrate the way London celebrates. Genius move, by the way, Royals. Give everyone a holiday and make it a big to do partay. Make it a happy thing. This way we don't have dissension in the ranks from the women weeping into their 4am coffee. What? Awkward. OK. ANYWAY - It's a weekend of wedding and we're rocking it right.

Back to the beginning -- the ring,
where all this starts for everyone not just Princesses. Here are some royal facts.

• Royal Ring Fact - Kate's ring used to be Diana's ring: so romantic, slightly heavy handed *heh heh*, kind of creepy.
• Royal Ring Fact - It is a huge friggin' (technical term) sapphire surrounded by diamonds.
• Royal Ring Fact - This rock is currently worth about 127,000 quid - a little more than $265,000

  

• Fact - Princess Graces' was better.

#1 - If money were no object what ring would you bling?

• Royal Headpiece Fact: "You can't show up as an American to an English wedding without a hat. It is de rigueur." -- Ellen Christine, royal hat maker (Ladies, you've been warned)
• Royal Headpiece Fact: Kate Middleton can wear absolutely anything atop her head and totally pull it off (even a nest of feathers)
  
  

#2 - What would you wear atop your head?
You can either pick something you'd wear to Kate and Wills' wedding
or the veil/tiara/hat you'd walk down the aisle with!

• Royal Cake Fact: Kate has chosen a floral fruitcake while William has requested a family favorite made with cookies.
• Royal Cake Fact: People are only going to eat Kate's cake to be polite.
• Royal Cake Fact: Jordan's Queen Rania and King Abdullah's enormous multi-tiered, rectangular-shaped cake – decorated with crowns and lace embellishments – was sliced down to size with a sword

#3 - On the day you're a princess bride what's your dream wedding cake?
Link us with a picture and leave the flavors in the comments!

It's Aloha Friday!!! - IRL

NO WORK 'TIL MONDAY! Last week we talked about our virtual lives. This week we reconnect with the real outside world.

This is my Jen, she lives on the edge of reality. The reason I am showing you to her is that I love her and I love her blog, which is her, just concentrated, as in orange juice, not as in focus.

#1. A Blog You Love that Belongs to
Someone You Know In Real Life



In real life, I have grand adventures. I also have exhillirating quiet times.
Usually these things happen with my friends.

#2. An IRL thing you like to do with friends or family.

I'm planning a trip HOME in October. Home is here, Brooklyn, but whenever I talk about HOME in a 'there' kind of way it is always Hawaii. On one of the rare occasions that I won't be on the beach in my neon bathing-suit, I hope to be at the Valley of the Temples. I miss it so.
In its honor:

#3 - A place you've been to before that you
happily go back to again and again.

It's Aloha Friday! No Work 'Til Monday!

OHHH HIiiiiiiiiiiiiii There girls!!! It's the best time of the week, Aloha Friday!

I'm sooooooooo excited to finally be experiencing a taster's menu of Spring. Everything seems better in spring. Yesss! So you can tell I'm amped. Here is one of the reasons:



I am so enamored by all that you do. Sometimes I miss it though! I blink and you girls have moved on to your next creative bought of brilliance! Soooo I am thrilled to announce the newest invention at Amber Ink.! This is our page of Amber Linking!!! If you blog something you're dying for our team to see. Enter your link here! We're absolutely sure to check it out!

I can't wait for you to start using it. Our Alumni have been playing with it over the last few days and it's uber fab. You can get to it on our sidebar now ------>

OK you can guess,
#1 - something that makes your life better!

That reminds me..... Oh yeah OK, fine it doesn't. This is just a segue.

This morning for breakfast I had the world's most amazing gluten-free pancakes with coconut oil and fresh zucchini. It made my mouth do summersalts. Instant happy. Of course this tastes much much better on the first days of spring, but isn't that just the way with everything?

Ok. So these are the ones I used to love to eat. I've healthified them for my gluten-free, low fat needs, but you don't want to make the ones I make now. You want to make these because they'll rock your taste buds like the caspa!



#2 - Something it makes you happy to make or eat!
I'd love to hear any back story you have in our comments!

SEGUE!
Tonight I am going to the draw-a-thon! This marks year 11! If we haven't been friends that long, or you have forgotten the thing I mark my year by, the Draw-A-Thon is an all night life-drawing marathon held at my almamater, Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.



I draw naked girls (sometimes guys, but their bodies are weird) You know Amber Ink is all about the nudie cuties. Boys totally don't fit that category. On Draw-A-Thon days I am often accused of being high. I am SOOOOOOOOO happy it's like I've officially hit that spaz place that Daffy Duck resides in.

#3 - Something you do in the Spring that makes you happy!
------------------------------------------------

1. Something that Makes Your Life Better!
2. Something It Makes You Happy To Make or Eat!
3. Something You Do in the Spring that Makes You Happy!

I know that Oprah has not been in favor so much lately, but just for the record, she has had a few good quotes.  Here's one...“luck is preparation meeting opportunity”.   I've been prepping for the Academy Awards my whole life and at this point I'd consider riding to the Kodak Theatre in this oscar:
 

 Another year gone by and  Betty White has become my new muse. 

Enjoy the coverage this weekend.

With no further ado, The Oscar goes to...

1.  The Dressseeesssss!  Show us a red carpet look that you loved.

It's one of those weeks when I am SOOOO ready for Aloha Friday!  How about you?

And yeah...when I'm tired I tend to blab on and on and on,

so you have my permission to just look for the numbers and play along!

Some of you know that one of our absolutely mandatory New Year's traditions is to throw wax.  After I throw mine I usually look and turn and observe and look some more for hours, even days!  When it finally comes to me it is like an epiphany!  This year more than ever.

See for yourself

Oh my gosh...so clear it is scary...

You can see it right? 

I'm sure you can.
If you were here in person it would be so crystal. clear.
Oh hec, I'll just tell you...

It is the frickin' Pacific Ocean and a wave like no other...A tsunami even.

And the weirdest thing?  When you hold it just so...there is this hole that is like a peep hole...

and it goes through all the layers !!! 

 

You get it now right?

Of course you do.

It has never been so black and white!

This wax reads...

"Stay in perfect focus and you will ride the tsunami!"

That is surfer talk for " like DUDE..it stay da bess yea EVAH!!!"

 

So why oh why is it January and these cartoons are calling my name?

 

Oh, and this one -

 

So make me feel better about myself puhleeze, and link along.

      #1. A blog/website/place/thing where you waste a little too much time?
  (this represents funny YouTubes for me)

#2.  A clock or watch to help you keep on track

Bellagio Fountains
#3.  Your favorite way to reenergize.
(like listen to inspiring music or travel for me)
