Miss Tess


Robot Band!!

I saw this on Make and my head start spinning, my heart palpitating, and my robot love equivalent of beatle’s mania hit full force! It’s finally the future!!!!!! YAY!

New Zealand is totally setting things on fire lately. First the Flight of the Conchords, and now this? Pretty soon they’ll be the ones who FINALLY get me a hover car. And a bionic arm. Remember NZ, I asked first. This is me going on record.

Here’s one of the many funny Thai commercials I have to share with you:

I obviously need to go take a nap, I don’t really have any commentary on it right now, other than it’s hilarious.
What’s wrong with me!?

Who new that you could make such a heart warming series of commercials with cockroaches as the star. Thank you, Thailand.

Awwwww, what a team!

PS I just discovered a treasure trove of Thai commercials.  Totally. Genius. Just wait.

Is this pop? It doesn’t seem as obnoxious as the “j-pop” my sister listens to, or maybe it’s just not annoying to me and it is to the rest of the world.  Either way, the video’s kinda funny:

I started watching another music video and it really didn’t capture me (I counted once, it needs to grip me by second 8 or I start getting bored), but then I saw this remix of a Rip Slyme song (whoever he is, expect a report later) with a Polysics music video. Suddenly, totally intriguing:

ps Rip Slyme is super special, he deserves his own tribute post

If I was 4″ tall I could have as much fun on a koosh ball as this bird is:

Maybe something exciting later. Or not. Or a giant koosh ball. Or not.
PS John had a great point. This bird is not only having a ball, he is having koosh ball.

Another night of working on my website. I think this is about the 5th day strait I’ve been photographing, editing, uploading, designing and feeling like bashing my head on my keyboard. And this isn’t even for Miss Tess, I’m catching up on Made by Tess so I can dedicate the next 6 weeks to working on that. Just a little bit more sewing, photographing and tweaking and I’m done. DONE I say. AHHHHH.

Anyway, to prevent myself from having a breakdown and going totally insane while I work I listen to Yelle. Not only is she cute, charming and bouncy she’s also French so no matter what she’s saying it sounds so totally interesting. These are my 2 favorite videos, the first is something else. I’m not sure if this is a fan video or what, but it’s still AWESOME! Behold, A Cause des Garcons

If you would like to see the original version, go here!

And now for my favorite, “Je Veux Te Voir”, it’s probably the outfits. Definately the outfits. And I’m not being sarcastic.

While searching for this song I found another video which has subtitles! Reading more closely, it seems like this song is about chippendales, le filme pornography, accessories fetiches, and “Cuizi c’est tas position favorite, Tes performances Olympique, mai tu n’as rien d’orgasmique” which even if you don’t speak french (which I don’t) it seems pretty apparent what they are saying. There is also a line about Magic Johnson and something about “crunk slam dunks”. This is killer hilarious. And the best thing, it inspires teenagers to coat themselve in makeup and do web cam lip synch videos!

Okay back to work! And I think tomorrow I’m going to sport blue eyeshadow and red lipstick. I’m sure it will be incredibly flattering with my hair.

PS If you speak french please chime in with any translations!

I can honestly say I’ve never seen McDonald’s commercials quite like this.
