 Wild West Weekend in Ogden Utah at 2:21 PM I am so excited for this weekend! there are so many fun events happening to celebrate Ogden pioneer days and i can not wait to enjoy them all. According to the pioneer days website "Ogden Pioneer Days was first celebrated in the summer of 1934 after the charismatic Ogden City Mayor Harman W. Peery organized a western festival to boost the spirits of the locals and entice tourists to visit the city." There is everything from a wild west shoot out to rodeos and baseball games, i hear there is even a beard growing contest. So get out there and enjoy a hearty Ogden tradition!

Best day ever: scones, dancing and a fashion show! at 12:19 PMOh...my ...WORD! Yesterday was definitely in my top 5 favorite days of all time. Hunter and i spend the morning in the park then headed home to bake some scones. She helped me get ready for the fashion show ( and by help i mean made it take twice as long) and we dressed up and danced around the house. She was wearing my shoes and sang a song about dinosaurs to me. here is proof of this awesome occasion:   Later after i was satisfied in the amount of eyeliner i was wearing i biked down to universe city gallery to help out before the Fashion show and get my hair done. The stylist (caitlin allred: facebook.com/caitlin.allred) did and amazing Job and every ones hair was super retro and cool. All of the outfits were retro inspired and really fabulous. The crowd was amazing and the band was perfect for the occasion. "Afterwards people were buying clothes right off the hangers in the changing area! Over all the night was a success and Nurture the creative mind and chuks vintage did an amazing job!

Tuesday in ogden utah: tattoos, puppies and metal at 10:37 AM its Tuesday and although the clouds say otherwise its a perfect day to get out and enjoy Ogden, UT. I've been feeling under the weather lately and i think i may have finally over exerted myself enough to cause my immune system to revolt. I will be taking it easy today, watching cheesy 80's cartoons and trying to convince my body that i do indeed deserve to be well. On another note i am looking for a place to get a new tattoo. I got some birthday tattoo dough and i have been craving another tattoo for a long time. I am excited to finally get my 'yellena art' inspired tattoo. I have a budget and i know what i want the problem is i have never gotten a tattoo in Ogden. where to go? ideas? I'd love to document my tattoo experience and blog about it so if your a tattoo artists in town send me your info so i can start making a decision! before i tell you the couple rad events happening tonight i want to encourage you to take a look at the black dog project here in Utah. Black dogs are the last the be adopted the first to the euthanized . Black dog syndrome is a known problem among shelters, people opt out of adopting black dogs because of the stigma surrounding larger black dogs. The truth is every animal that is in a shelter needs a home no matter what size or color. They are afraid, confused and just want to be loved. So, if you are in the market for a pet and happen ti find yourself at a shelter please take a second look at that black dog, he may just be your new best friend. Ogden city oylers game The Oylers are having a scrimmage tonight at Friendship Park in South Ogden over by Ogden Regional Hospital. The game will start around 7:30. check out thier facebook for more! https://www.facebook.com/ogdencityoylers "The Trials of Darryl Hunt" Free Screening The ACLU of Utah, Peery's Egyptian Theater, and the Center for Diversity and Unity at Weber State present a free screening of "The Trials of Darryl Hunt.Spanning two decades, this powerful documentary chronicles a brutal 1984 rape/murder case in North Carolina and the wrongful conviction of then 19-year-old Darryl Hunt for that crime. Despite multiple trials and DNA testing that proved his innocence, Darryl spent nearly 20 years in prison before being fully exonerated.At once a moving human drama and a scathing social commentary,"The Trials of Darryl Hunt" reveals the insidious way racism still pervades American culture and our criminal-justice system. This chilling look at a life stolen and eventually redeemed defies our presumption that all Americans have the right to unbiased justice and exposes the need for judicial reforms to prevent other wrongful convictions.This event is free of charge and open to the public Across The Sun, Burning Twilight @ Mojo's Ogden! ACROSS THE SUN (Metal Blade Records), BURNING TWILIGHT (Blk Herat Group), DETHRONE THE SOVEREIGN (Utah), TRAIL THE AXE (Utah) Artist's Links: http://www.myspace.com/acr If you have not heard across the sun then you MUST check out this video!
