The only kind of book "defacing" I'll allow... Shaq-Fu Edition

"How you doin'?"

My supervisor found this gem in the stacks last night while weeding.  He wanted to take it out from behind the book cover, but I told him it was too good and he decided to leave it.

What Not to Wear...

I'm not going to lie, I'm a fan of TLC's "What Not to Wear."  I used to watch it on the regular back in the day.  My favorite part of the show is when they have that one person who swears up and down that they dress perfectly fine, but when they step into that 360 mirror, you see them begin to question their own judgement.   My librarian friends and I have been conspiring for awhile now about putting  a coworker, (or two, okay, a couple) up for the show.  It seems like the best way to meet Stacy London or Clinton Kelly.

IMPOSTERS!

So when I came across this title during my weeding report, I was more than disappointed to not see that Stacy nor Clinton were on the cover.  Let's take a look at what these charlatans have to offer.

Yes, this does say you "don't want to fuss too much with my clothes," which is why you just wear a jacket and nothing under it. 
These two have nothing on my Stacy and Clinton.

So in conclusion, the number #1 style tip from  What Not To Wear for Every Occasion: Le Brassiere...

First Attempt at Book Crafting: What Have I Gotten Myself into?

So I was inspired by several pictures I found online of book crafts and decided to spare this discard from the trash heap.

I have no idea what I am going to do with it, but this is my second day trying to hollow it out.  Maybe I should have started with a thinner book.  It is incredibly messy and time consuming.  If only I could use my Dremel, the heat from the friction only creates singed edges and the smell of burning.

I have quite low expectation for this project seeing as it's my first ever, but there is an endless supply of mediums to work with, yay for weeding/discarding!
