One night on #FourLoko 

Dude ... wow, tried FourLoko last night. Um yeah. Have you guys heard of it? Check this article out, it sums it up pretty well. 12% alcohol, plus a shit ton of caffeine.

It all started off innoncently enough. Was kicking it with @bryceless and Alex. I've been so unbelievably exhausted the last few days from so much going on, Bryce said, why not try FourLoko? Alex piped up and said that it was dangerous, and was banned from the side effects. Of course the SECOND someone says it has crazy life altering effects and needs to be banned, I am going to try it. HAHA! For real ... thank you FDA for the most brilliant advertising ever.

Bryce went out and bought it, as it is still legal in California ... and the night began. Dude, I had the orange one, and I kid you not ... it's only 3 dollars and the most yummy in my tummy thing on the planet.

 

Bryce and I split the can in about 15 minutes (as we had to hop in a cab to go to a house party) ... and holy fucking shit ... I wanted to run a marathon while at the same time bask in the buzz. HAHAHAH!! OMGGGGG its amazing. Bryce completely lost his mind. He's not an energy drinker ... and I swear people were asking if he broke house rule number 7 ...

 

He was tweeking something FIERCE!

FourLoko is definitely awesome ... but it's no joke. You have to be careful. It not only gets you very drunk, it gives you a CRAPTON of energy!! I'm really glad we split the one can, dude, that's like downing an entire bottle of wine to yourself ... and oh yeah it tastes like candy!!! WHHHAATTT!!! Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Definitely explored in EXTREME moderation.

Oh yeah! And my @spirithoods were a BIG BIG BIG hit!! I gave Alex the red wolf, and she LOVEEDD IT!

She's so adorable, she goes - I get it now. You just have to wear it to understand how cool it is. I was like, yep! Welcome to the BEST PARTY EVVEERRRRR!!! For reals, SPIRITHOODS need to be illegal. Good lord I love mine more than Taco Tuesdays at Cabo Cantina.

We then went to a house party ... which for reals never happens in LA. People rent in LA, so house parties are like dolphin humping unicorns ... something that is to be cherished at all costs.

We walked in, and met the host who has SUCH a kickin crib!! ... He goes, what is this on your head?? I need to know what is going on here. I was like OMMGGG we can totes be besties now. You get it!!

Then ... because fun is like herpes ... everyone had to have some ...

 

 

Awesomeness knows no bounds.

Wanna get yo spirithood on? Check 'em out over here. I will warn you, only epicness can ensue when you add FourLoko and Spirithoods.

#TNTML takes it off for @spirithoods

 

Alrite ... I have to figure out a way to get this done, and I'm hoping you all can help. Spirithoods are awesome. Clearly. We have all established this fact. I want to do a shoot topless in one. It covers the lady bits just enough to be sexy, without being too over the top.

I want the spirithood on with bikini bottoms ... and then find an artist to do the body paint to finish out the animal on the legs. I think this could be INSAANNEELLYY awesome, I can get a handful of my local LA tribe together I'm sure too for it. The owner of 'em is a big big big photographer, so I'm sure he can take it ... and So So SOOOOO many of you now have spirithoods, this could encourage more of you to even try it at home, and we can create an album for it on our Facebook like page.

Again, totally PG-13 ... everything is covered as the spirithoods are naturally very long ... but I'm kinda thinking this could be perfect.

Putting this out to the community before I approach the owner. Thoughts?

 

PS. I want all the chicks in nerdy glasses too ... like these ...

#ShitGotReal: I sold my #SpiritHood

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Oh, man, I'm sick as frick.  Soooo so sick.  God damn flu. I'm totally not one of those people that enjoy being sick because of the attention.  I mostly just want to move on and act normal, so I'm going to post it up.  Except I can't physically get up to go to the Mac, so I'm on the laptop (hence the weird login and lack of photos).  I apologize in advance for lack of personality.

So anyways, I went out with @TGumb last week, and as you may have read, nights with him can get wild really fast.  I'll post on all that business sometime when I'm not taking breaks to poop soup. 

I of course had on the SpiritHood - the Husky.  Love it.  I was letting everyone try it on and love it, and one of the girls we were with (a girl from high school that was a few years older than me and one of the untouchables) started talking to me about it.  She asked where I got it, and tried it on.  Then she embarked on a story that really touched me. 

Her 17-year-old sister-in-law lives with her, and they have three huskies.  One day Jaime's (the girl from high school that I ended up really enjoying) husband took two of their dogs up to his parent's house, a huge peach orchard outside of town, to have lunch.  He let the dogs run around, and while they were eating a neighbor came to the door (apparently a nutso neighbor that they have had problems with before) and said, "I just shot your dogs because they were on my property."  David (the hubby) obviously freaked out, and went to find them.  They had been shot several times and died.  When he asked the guy why he would do that, he said, "Well I have been seeing foxes and coyotes around and thought that's what they were."  Obvious lie, huskies look nothing anywhere close to either of those animals, and everyone in our area knows that.  Devastating, right?  I'm a total dog person (hence the husky SpiritHood), so I cried for her, and for the poor dog that they still have who is beyond heartbroken.

She told me that she really needed to get one of those hoods for her sister-in-law, who thought of her husky (one of the pups that was killed) as her spirit animal.  Problem = it was Thursday, two days before Christmas.  I felt bad for them, but couldn't handle talking about it anymore, so we moved on with our night. 

We ended up at Jaime's house after the bar, and I got to meet Manko, the amazing husky that they still have.  Awesome awesome awesome.  I let her wear the SpiritHood for a while, and I wore Tucker's red fox (which turns out to be a way better SpiritHood for me - not nearly as warm, and totally matches my personality better).  At one point she asked Tucker if she could buy his, and he said no way jose.  She said what about for $2,000?  And he said yes yes yes.  Of course she was joking, but it was super obvious that Tucker wasn't at all interested in parting with his.  After giving it some thought I realized that I wanted to do this for her.

I love love love love love times infinity my SpiritHood, but I have also lost a pet and know how terrible that is.  I wanted this girl to be able to stay connected to her dog that was taken from her, and if selling my awesome SpiritHood would go towards something good, then fine, I'm all about paying it forward.  Jamie appreciated it so much that she paid me way more than necessary, which I wouldn't have taken if I hadn't been so incredibly impaired at that point.  But I'm going to use that extra money for gas to get me to Aspen, the closest town that has SpiritHoods in stores.  You totally need to try these things on and let them choose you.  I am thinking red fox is the way I'll go, but we'll see...

So goodbye, SpiritHood.  I loved you dearly, and miss you already.  But you are mending wounds that run incredibly deep.  Fly free, my love.

Find your own SpiritHood.  Like now.
