Ponies!

I have had a BUSY last 24 hours! It started with drinks after work with a friend (always a great time), then I went to a hockey game with the hubs and a friend. It was a blast - we were right up on the glass, and there were quite a few fights. Then this morning, bright and early, I was off shopping with my mom, my sister, and my niece. We went thrifting in the morning, which unfortunately didn't turn up much. I found a couple of cute pieces of furniture, but since we were in my mom's little Forte, and had the babyseat and stroller in tow, there wasn't room. Later though, a trip to the mall lead to my purchase of these:

My red Jellypop Ponies!

At first I picked them up because I thought they were hideous and I was going to make a joke about purchasing them. My mom made a crack about how ugly they were. I said that I kind of liked them... because I was starting to, but all the while knowing that I also thought they were ugly. I decided to try them on... and then I was in love! My mom and sister said they were ugly (I believe my sister tried to be polite and called them "interesting"), but agreed that my quirky self could make them work. I was torn between the red and the blue, but I have been wanting some red shoes. Also, for some reason, the red ones were $5 less. They were on clearance, so these ugly ducklings cost me a whopping $15 (original price $59.99)! Win, win! I'm so stoked to rock these!

5 Must Haves for the Fashionable Atheist Gal

Today I'm going to share my 5 fashion must haves for all you awesome atheist/skeptic gals out there. This also serves as a wish list for yours truly (hint, hint). :) These are in no particular order.

1. Atheist hair clips from Surlyramics created by Surly Amy of Skepchick. These hair clips kick some serious ass! And while you're at it, you can check out all the other wearable art in Surlyramic's Etsy store.

2. Stronger T-Shirt from Skeptical Robot. Wear this and be like Rebecca and show those haters what you're made of! 

3. God hates Bags tote to carry around all of your Carl Sagan and Christopher Hitchens books. This tote can be purchased at Revel & Riot.

4. Flying Spaghetti Monster necklace from MirielDesign on Etsy. Get touched by his noodly appendages on a daily basis!

5. Now atheists can have a sole too with Atheist shoes! The soles of these shoes have phrases (either "Darwin loves" or "Ich Bin Atheist") imprinted in them so that wherever you go, you'll leave a trail of atheist pride! These shoes can be found at www.atheistberlin.com.

So there you have it - 5 must haves for the fashionable atheist girl (all of which will look wonderful paired up with your favorite plastic framed nerd glasses and a kick ass cardigan).
