Crabs of the 80's unite!

Summer vacation starts Monday for meeeeeee...
This girl was for an invite for a lady back home that's throwing an 80's party. My mom called with the request for a blonde 80's girl, so I did this. I dunno why she has a chewed up piece of bubble gum in her hair. It's supposed to be a scrunchie. Whenever I think of the 80's, I think of "The Chipmunk Adventure". Anyone else have this problem?






Someday I want to visit Christmas Island. So I can visit my people. The crabs.


If you'd like to learn more about the Christmas crabs, track down the documentary "March of the Crabs". Most of the footage is from that video.

Yes, I have the same problem. It was a movie that defined a generation. I think that girl really captures the true essence of the '80s.

Whenever I think of crabs I think of drawn butter, not drawn in marker. But these drawings are so deelishus I think I'll have to change that perception. Though coincidentally, whenever I think of the 80's I also think of drawn butter. But when Christopher Hewett throws a coke party, you see things.

also, my word verification is "iavzecs". say that one three times fast, tee-hee!

Okay, yea. You can't think of the 80's with out thinking of the chipmunk adventer. I still get made fun of when I watch that at home. I have to watch it at least once every 6 months or I DIE!!

And GIRL! Why the hell haven't you called me? And don't give me that "I've been busy finishing up before my haitus" excuse either! JK. Brunchies tomorrow our you DIE!!!

Tee hee. Christmas Island crabs are the best. . . especially when they cross the road.

I was watching the crab video and as my toes were curling and I was making sqeeking noises of horror, my dog came over and nosed the back of my arm. I haven't jumped like that in a long time... Thanks for that scary scary moment of disgust! ;)
