the hearts and laserbeams blog!

recently blogger decided we can't publish my blog to my own website anymore so here we are! pardon the dust, and please visit us online at www.heartsandlaserbeams.com!

hearts and laserbeams is the wacky good-times art and design by me, steph calvert. i team up with robots, cupcakes, and stick people to show people art isn’t all about seriousness, missing ears, and deep thoughts; it can actually be tons of fun.

the folks at we feel fine were kind enough to bestow on me a second free copy of the "we feel fine: an almanac of human emotion" book so that i might do a giveaway for all the rest of y'alls - and giveaway time is here! my second copy came in the mail today. whut whut!!!

SO! here's the rules:

2) comment as many times as you wish, but one entry per person will be counted.

I have a good one. I was a sweet innocent girl in 4th grade and this mean boy said something to me so I flipped him off. Well, I didn't see the teacher that saw me flip him the middle finger but she saw me. However because I was so innocent I told her I pointed at him and I would NEVER do THAT. And I didn't get in trouble, but HE did for saying something mean to innocent me :D

Hmmm, I used to get my nails done during my lunch hour and one day when I returned my boss asked me what was so special about the lady I went to, so I showed him my middle finger (it had a flower on it)! You should have seen his face!! He never asked me stupid questions again!

I have pictures of my daughter when she was four *accidentally* giving the finger in group family photos. Who knows. LOL.

Actually, I have a good flip off story. When I used to bartend, I became popular for my "Flaming Flip Off". Whenever I received a crappy-ass tip, I would pour a bit of highly flammable booze like Bacardi 151 or Sambuca right on the bar. I would then light the booze on fire, stick my exposed middle finger into the fire and booze and point it at the offending customer. Sometimes I would still pour the booze on my middle finger and then strike my lighter and "flame on".

Of course the bad part of this was the "flaming flipoff" became popular and my tips started to take a dive because people wanted to see me flip them off with a fiery middle finger.

If I win, I promise to send a photo of me giving you the flaming flip off. (with love of course)
