All I Want For Record Store Day is.... These Shiny Blue Boots

It's International Record Store Day and Clarks Shoes have released some shoes especially. Yeah, I don't get it either, but they are pretty cool looking. My husband was up at 5am to get to Head in Belfast to try to buy the At the Drive in release, which was sold out. If anyone managed to pick up more than one, could they contact me on Twitter please @rudedoodle Thank you!

Captured- Genuine Flabbit (flying, winged rabbit).

From the eBay description:
"Don't miss this unique opportunity to own one of these extremely rare Arctic Homing Rabbits, otherwise known as a Flabbit, scientific name (arcticous kidu-ous).

These wonderful creatures anually travel thousands of miles in search of carrots, Having the advantage of being able to hop when thier wings get tired, they can actually fly/hop five hundred miles daily, and can even fly backwards to keep the sun out of their eyes.

Some years ago I discovered that something was nicking my horse carrots, I laid a trap, in no time at all I had captured a couple of Flabbits, In a matter of days they were eating out of my hand (carrots of course) and i was soon able to release them into my garden. That was five years ago, needless to say I now have a small colony of these in my garden at a secret location in Cheshire. They breed very sucessfully, but unlike a rabbit, that lives and breeds underground and keeps getting wiped out with the dreaded myxomotosis, these live and nest and breed in trees thus avoiding the nasty little myxy flea.

Unfortunatly the lifespan of these creatures is not great, and although the Eskimo's tell me that Flabbit stew is superb, I prefer to let the taxidermist preserve these lovely little things."

My Latest Weird Little Tattoo, by Chris Crooks from White Dragon, Belfast

Chris Crooks from White Dragon Tattoo, Belfast added to my Eames' Lounge Chair tattoo today. I had the upright chair piece done for my birthday last year, and have rued not getting the ottoman added since. Luckily I managed to squeeze in some precious time with Chris, who has an eighteen month waiting list and clients who fly in from all over the globe to be inked in his studio in Northern Ireland.

Chris specialises in Japanese style art, with sleeves, cover ups and full body suits amongst his stunning portfolio. The pieces are clear, flowing, bright and vivid. I'm sharing below some examples from the White Dragon Facebook Page as my tattoo is a step away from Chris' usual work. My new tattoo, which also features Mrs Meow, is at the very end of the post. I LOVE it, thank you, Chris.

And here's little Jackson, following in his Dad's footsteps.
