A very Kimmie Christmas tree

After we got the tree up and lighted, I still had to wait a few days before I received my Christmas box from Florida. I had asked for some old ornaments my mom had picked some out and got me some new ones. Mary got me the cutest flamingo ones. I was shocked when I opened the box...stuff was falling out of it.



Some of the ornaments were from when I was a kid, the snowman paint stick, I made that in 1995.


Even Ronnie himself, said I had a beautiful tree.










I even got to put all my presents under the tree!


It took me 5 hours total to put that amazing tree together. I got home late the night my box arrived, like around 10:30, and was up all night working on it. I couldnt wait anymore, I was beyond excited. 3:30 am I finally finished.

So I havent had a lot of blog posts lately. I recently lost my job and have been laying extremely low, and being bummed out has totally taking all my inspiration for putting together something fashionable. Ive been wearing a lot of the same things. I also have got tattooed a lot lately and can only wear certain things because I got both my thys tattooed. Hopefully I will find a job soon, but in the mean time... my friends have been nothing but supportive and helpful. Adam helped me out in a huge way, and I am so thankful for having him around. We've also been watchin TV lately, did you know theres a show just about Trucks! Yeh, there is. Brant and Nikkie have also taken me in and just everyone has been really supportive. While my family is in Florida, they help as much as they can, but its nice to know I have real, good friends here.

Now that my tree has been revealed, its time to see Ronnie's! His party is Thursday, mine was Sunday... heres a sneak peek...

Alandale Farms

Now that I have revaeled my Christmas tree! I can finally talk about it haha. I am having a Christmas tree competition with Ronnie, and I had to keep a lot under wraps. A few days before we went and bought ours, I went with my adopted family Brant and Nikkie to Alandale farms to help pick out their tree. While I was there I was scoping them out and saw that the prices were right if all four of us in the house chip in. Later Simon, Ben and I went and picked out our tree.

I was really impressed with Alandale farms, they were very helpful and we got a 6 foot tree for $40! It was really cool to see all the different types of trees too.






Simon was lovely enough to take my photo, holding our tree! He actually found this one. Great job Simon!


Ms. Jill gave me her tree stand which was really helpful, so I didnt have to buy one. I was looking forward to having a tree so much. Our house really looks like Christmas. Xoxo!

Tattoo Wednesday

Its that time of week again. I think its ironically funny, that Ive started keeping up with this weekly post, and haven't had a good outfit post in awhile. Well I finally got my scimitar tattoo! This gentleman by the name of Peter Chile found me at the Behan and I made an appointment with him. He sent me some of the tattoos hes done and I was massively impressed, which doesn't happen often. I got the scimitar because its one of my favorite Floor songs, so this is now my second Floor tattoo.



Peter did a great job, I cant wait to get tattooed by him again. This will be my fourth weapon tattoo. I have the derringer, the tomahawk, the switch blade and now a scimitar.

Tattoo Wednesday!

This weeks tattoo is a personal little favorite of mine. There are two kinds of ladies, bag hags and shoe whores. I LOVE shoes! Always have. My shoe obsession all started years ago when my Grams went on vacation and sent me a post card of the Ruby Slippers. For some reason, I thought that meant she had bought them for me. Mind you I was 5 at the time. So when she got back, I was expecting to have THE Ruby Slippers. Sadly I didnt get them, but later that week, my mom ended up making me a pair! I made her do that for years. Ever since that post card, I can always remember loving shoes. I honestly cant remember anymore what made me decide to get them as a tattoo, but I love them!

This tattoo was done sometime last year, by Krystal Ralph at KnuckleDown Tattoos in Clearwater, FL. (She currently works at Ybor City Tattoo Company in Tampa, FL)

We later added the Tin Man's heart and the cyclone with Dorthy's house. We were suppose to add a few more things, but then I moved to Boston. I have a couple of tattoos by Krystal, and they are all my cool colorful ones.

Tell me about your tattoos!

Xoxo

Tattoo Wednesday!

Im so happy to be on top of things and have a new post out for Tattoo Wednesday! Last week, while Ronnie was away, I got a steak and cake tattoo. Here's the scoop. A few weeks ago, my roommate Ben caught my eating steak 4 times in one week and Id typically had a piece of cake after. He called me steak and cake one night, and it stuck from there. He told Simon, who told everyone at the Behan, which Ronnie (Adam) heard and now everyone calls me Steak and Cake. Because its so silly, Adam dared me to get it as a tattoo, and he'd pay for it. This is now my second tattoo Ronnie has paid for. That's what Kimmie likes!

Lucky was the only man to do it! I must have over 15 tattoos by him alone. I even got a custom steak color! Where I put the tattoo is also a big deal. Ronnie had to pick out everything, where it was going to go, who was going to do it, what the tattoo should look like. It had to go in my most visible spot... which left was my right forearm. I finally went past my invisible line.

Steak & Cake.

Tattoo by Lucky Mathews at Fat Rams Pumkpin Tattoo in Jamaica Plain, MA.

I dont know what number this tattoo is, but Im pretty sure I have more than Adam!

Also, THANK YOU RONNIE FOR MY TATTOO!

Ronnie Plaid.

Theres no real such thing as "Ronnie Plaid" haha, but in our little (lovely) world of Jamaica Plain, there is a man. A man who wears red and black flannel. We call him Ronnie. I was Ronnie for Halloween as a big joke, and it was really funny. Well, I just so happen to have loved the two colors red and black together for years. I have acquired 3 red and black plaid dresses, BEFORE I moved to Boston. The other day, I was trying to find something to wear to Bethany's birthday brunch and I grabbed one of my red and black plaid dresses while Ronnie was around. Well.... needless to say that didnt go over well. "Ah Kimmie! You cant wear that!" SO, I had to grab something else to wear.

Well in honor of Ronnie, I decided to do this lovely post just to mess with him haha! Here is my collection of red and black plaid dresses.
Dress 1: A Forever21 dress, I found at Sunshine Thirft for $2!




Dress 2: Bought on sale at Forever21 for $8






Eaton Beef hat curiosity of Ronnie himself.


Dress 3: Found at Goodwill for $4




So there you have it! All my red and black plaid. I think its funny, Ive been wearing this stuff for a few years now and its all of the sudden a big deal haha. I have to be careful what I wear and when haha! I really got a kick out of doing this post. It was so spur of the moment too. I miss doing that, just getting inspired by an outfit quickly, setting up my camera and taking blog photos! Im actually getting a blog post out in the same day! I hope you've enjoyed these as much as I have. Xoxo! Wheres your red and black plaid?!?!

Stuff.
