There are very few words to describe this so:

Today we remember an avid doodle buddy:
Markie the Marker
He’s was a good pen, a pen gone too soon.
He passed away peacefully while doodling.
We will miss you:

Okay so it isn’t often that Viciously Sweet grows in membership, mostly because it’s not like the Mickey Mouse Club.
But now there is a man in Viciously Sweet, and that man is a true professional.
Yes, Eric.
To celebrate he did this:

and he did it well.
He’s also celebrating his new biography. All of which you can read here:
Besides being the most treasured professional in all of the San Gabriel Valley; Eric is also a huge fan of musicals, Disney and anything “Savage Garden”. He believes the most influential television character since the creation of television is Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster and Jimmy Kimmel. Eric was blessed with the uncanny ability to perform the entire soundtrack of “Beauty and the Beast” by himself. Eric discovered that he became viciously sweet after an incident that involved a bottle of tapatio, Lady Gaga, The Men’s foundation, and the song “Poison” by Bel Biv Devoe. He is the only person in history to own every “Now that’s What I call Music” and Hanson album… Mmm bop? Eric has also been reported to be the most sincere love of talk show giant Oprah Winfrey.
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

It’s been too long since there has been an Eric & the Ladies Update.
So I bring it to you on a very special day:
Hug a Professional Day!
And since Eric is the most valued Professional in Southern California he can barely function today, as every lady in the tri-city area wants to hug him…

Go out and hug a fireman, milkman, stock acessor, or goat herder and celebrate this magical day… or wait in the 1.8 mile line & hug Eric.

Do you ever have those moments when you are so insulted you wish you had a sign to express your feelings to others?
No put down your finger… not that sign.
How about my pantent pending “insulted lizard”???
He can be insulted for you:

Isn’t he helpful?

I am so into this Weezer sunggie thing.
If you’re wondering if I want one ( i want one) and this commercial for the Weezer snuggie is awesome:
Also isn’t Brian a super good salesman?

I’ve been into drawing & cleaning up my drawings lately.
Today I share with you on this “Raditude” kind of day this very important doodle:

And it’s so true…
look outside 73% of those birds have never been a chicken.
♫lauren
Since I’ve been writing a lot about the Weezer lately there is only one thing to do, share some Weezer for the morning.
This is the weezley guys doing a cover of Coldplay’s ”Viva la Vida”:
that’s raditude.
♫lauren
I hope you have a lovely weekend full of tricks, treats, and chicken. I’m going to kick off the weekend with a special doodle.

Happy Halloween.
Be safe, eat lots of candy… and hug that chicken dressed like a pumpkin.
Also make sure you are dressed like Brandon Flowers Spaceman, or Lady Gaga!!!!

Enjoy this collection of manly ammenities:
But be careful about the manly book, he’s ever so sensitive about his goatee…

Anyone who is totally rad is going to Isabel & Clay’s Halloween Party.
Earlier today this swift duo were spotted shopping for the events:

It’s going to be paper towel themed as you can see by the shopping cart contents… this is mostly because Isabel doesn’t like spillage.
But also they are going to make spooky paper towel ghosts that would even make Martha Stewart envious.
But there will be no caramel or any other sticky treats there… so bring your own and rub them all over Isabel.

I’m so totally sad that Green Day is not as cool as Weezer.
As Weezer gets more radically awesome… Green Day slips into the mtv culture cesspool… see their “21st Century Breakdown” video directed by Marc Webb
Maybe it has to do with all the “Raditude” that’s coming out Nov. 3, or maybe it’s the fact they are designing a snuggie…

I digress I was actually going to talk about their new music video “I want you to” which was also directed by (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb.
The colors, the clothing, and the humor are spot on and totally in line with the fashion and musical senses of Weezer. Also I love the flair of the Twilight Zone splashed around in this video.
I must show a few still shots from the video because I’m a terrible mess at embedding.
Firstly I’m suprised Isabel has never vacationed here:

And here’s some River’s I’m digging his hair:

And this is Brian who is a slick, and dreamy car attendant:

I think Scott should always wear suspenders:

And here’s Pat playing a “dangerous” game”:

Here’s a very strange barber shop quartet consisting of exponential weezies:

and finally the whole band mostly together:

I can’t figure how to embed the video so you can see Weezer’s awesome video for ” I want you to” at the linky here. Enjoy!

Wouldn’t the world be better if more things had mustaches?
I think the answer is yes:

Sometimes I doodle things, sometimes I make Marathons.
This is a collaboration of the two…
I bring to you…. manly doodles!

Today Isabel says she’s learning.
However,as you can see here if hanging out with Clay Aiken was a major, she’d be on the honor roll:

I have no clue who the other people in this picture are… but I’m betting they work at her “lab.”
As you can see their experiment is how radiant Clay Aiken is in the sun, they will measure this in centijoules (Isabel’s favorite quantatative measurement)
Happy Sciencing to you :)

I’m unusually happy this morning because of this little guy:
All things about Paul Rubben’s aside. Peewee Herman was one of my favorite childhood characters. I had that talking doll, and I took it everywhere with me even to ballet class.
Last night at Midnight MTV2 was playing “Peewee’s Big Adventure,” and so I watched it… and couldn’t stop laughing, nor could I wake up for work, but I digress.
My family has decided to take me to see him for my birthday… but due to the Isabel Stare-a-thon 2009 Pee Wee has postponed his shows until January 2010. It’s cool, I’m still going to see him… but post birthday!
But whilst I wait I have one request…

Not only is it the time of the year for sweaters… but if you are one of the select lads who look really good in a sweater vest I suggest slapping one on.
If you need any sweater vest style advice I’d look to the following peeps:
Joseph Gordon Levitt can really wear a sweater vest, he is like the lord of sweater vests in (500) days of summer:

Mr. Schwartzman cand handle the implications of sweaters… without sleeves:

River’s Cuomo is like the definition of sweater vest:

Ellen Degeneres is looking pretty swift in her vest too!

Even Michael Jackson has sweater vested:
And also this bunny was made for a sweater vest:

And just in case you are still not sold on the sweater vest… have a gander of Johnny Depp in one:

So why don’t you give it a try:

So I suggest to all… wear a sweater vest especially if your arms are much warmer than your torso.

Episode 6 “Vitamin D” Fashion Recap!
This week after watching glee I felt a lot like this:

But, before I carry on about the happy drug faces seen through out this episode, let’s share Emma’s wicked fashion this week.

As usual Emma’s clothes don’t dissapoint!

Here she is removing mustard from Mr. Shue’s chin… check her green skirt!

She makes the best “celebrity judge” for the glee kids:

If you totally like the skirt like I do it’s Anna Sui at Antrhopologie… but their site says it’s no longer available.
On a positive and equally yellow note…
I think her fashion sense may be rubbing off on the girls:

Wouldn’t it be nice if they started a fashion club?
SPOILER! SPOILER!
This is a cute blue boatneck shirt, this is not exactly a spoiler…

BUT this is:

This not cute engagement ring is the spoiler!

OMG!
But now back to bow week!!!
Here’s Emma in her Dolphin Shirt and Coral skirt; it’s a great retro, yet bow filled number.

And just in case you had too much bow…
here she is in ruffles, and a coral skirt:

I love how she accents everything with yellow. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
