Yesterday, Graphic Designer Friend and I celebrated the season with another Turkey Day Craft Hour. We started the tradition three years ago when no one was left in the office before the holiday except for the two of us and Emo (and he was napping). That year, we made turkeys by tracing our hands and pasting construction paper feathers onto them. Last year, we printed out and colored Horns of Plenty (I don’t know why, but that makes me giggle every time). This time, we revisited the turkeys, but chose themes. Oooo, fancy!

So GDF is majorly into the Twilight stuff. I can neither confirm nor deny that she holds a major crush on the Robert Pattinson and may or may not refer to him as her boyfriend. Who doesn’t really? (Me! He hasn’t washed his hair in SIX WEEKS and his face bears a striking resemblance to The Cagey One, which makes me all sorts of frustrated. Mostly in the not-getting-any way. Wa wa…)


You’ll notice that Graphic Designer Friend couldn’t quite choose one photo of said Pattinson, nor could she bear maiming his hotness by doing anything more than cutting out all the other people in the photos, resulting in a collage effect for an overall happy “Fangs-giving.”

While she was busy giggling, I went straight to Gossip Girl with my very own Chuck Bass (he’s blowing you a kiss). I admit I got a little happy with the out-of-season pastel construction paper and colored markers, but who doesn’t love plaid, argyle, pastels, stripes, and madras; wearing them all at once? The Bass is clearly a seminal fashion plate for today’s fashion forward male.

For added festivity, he’s got a martini handy (we’re fresh out of scotch, I guess) and is already dropping the one liners: “If you think that was long…”. I can’t be certain, but in this instance I think he must be drawing a comparison between the length of time it takes for this Bass to cook and the length of….oh. Naughty.

Happy Turkey Day!
