Portlandia Contest

Hello! If you head over to the IFC Portlandia blog, you will find a contest for The Most Portland Thing Ever. The winner will get their Most Portland Thing illustrated by me, NG.

To quote Claire, the blogger in charge:
Portlanders, you know those moments. You’re walking down the street, minding your own business, and then you see it: The Most Portland Thing Ever. Maybe it’s a group of grown adults in matching knee-socks playing kickball in the park, or a flop of hippies building new community park benches out of peat moss. No, wait, it’s a chicken on a leash, or a woman sitting in a tree weaving macramé pot hangers to raise money for her alternative circus troupe.

All real things Claire has actually witnessed, by the way.


Look- Michelle Tea has already (informally) done it!

Go over there & submit your own, if you have one.

That's all for now.
Remind me to tell you about meeting the cast of Amazing Race Latino America at a coffee stand in Mexico, and also to tell you about the most feminist thing to come out of the Jason Wu for Target sale.

Until then,

P.s. If you miss the contest deadline (Friday, 2/10/12), you can comment some here, just for fun.
Speak your mind!

YACHTing on Youtube.

Hey! YACHT has a new music video. Neat.

Check out my minorest of minor roles (and summertime Tootie haircut) in some YACHT-y youtube videos here.




Around the 4:00 & 4:40 marks


If life was narrated by Tyra, she would say
"In this never before seen footage, Nicole shows her stuff in a two minute long YACHT highlights video. A first in the History of Top Model."
My stuff meaning sitting in the background on a bed and chanting highlights of a tour through Italy, and later being in a music video for approximately 2-3 seconds.
I linked to this in my
European continent blog post, but here it tiz, embedded for your leisure.





Huzzah!
