Been a busy little kiwi.

This week:
Had a photoshoot last week for Fall 2009 minicollection.
Sold headbands at the Cuba St. Carnival (which was 100% pure madness and nothing like the Seymour Oktoberfest).
Jason is gearing up to load up JUPITEROATMEAL.com with new comics!
The weather is super fine and the birds are singing.
My geeky dayjob is still great, and surprisingly entertaining (thank you, my wonderful coworkers!)... especially considering I work the equivalent of the IRS.
Since I've got you here, have a gander at some of the pics from the shoot:

Have a great week, love and peace from Aetearoa, land of the long white cloud!

We've been busy!

I just got back from the Sevens Rugby Tournament. It's a 2-day costume party, and some people even watch the rugby games.
It is the biggest event in Wellington, and probably the biggest in the whole country.

I went with some friends, two of whom are British, and one kiwi. This turned out to be quite a dynamic since the championship game was between England and New Zealand. It was a close game until the very end when England came from behind to WIN. Then my British friends had to run for their lives!


Cowboys....
...and indian.

I stayed up the night before to make my Native American headdress.

The costumes are indeed the whole point of the extravaganza, and here are some of my favorites:

These road cones were out about town and surrounded cars and sat in the street as a type of performance art.
Then they got to the stadium and got hammered...


Just like Jesus (with cardboard cross).


These horses were a few rows in front of us. Good thing the cowboys were there to keep them in line!


Mario and Luigi!
Pack of Obamas.



Rugby players in the costumes... er... uniforms.
