Secret Headquarters - a franken

I've lemmed a Nerd Lacquer for what feels like forever, so I finally tried to franken something close to it. Meet Secret Headquarters.

How'd I do?

Blogger photo published in Wall Street Journal

Its happened again.
Remember the Sinful Colors debacle where they photoshopped blogger nails into their marketing flyers and displays?

Wall Street Journal published an article with a photo from blogger Steffels, which they say was sourced from Staceybendet's fancy stream.

See complete article here:

I went digging and found the original fancy photo here:

That photo was "fancied" from Steffel's blog here:

Oy vey!

I have contacted the Wall Street Journal to tell them about this, if you want to do the same click here for their contact form.

Birthday Brownies!

My birthday was September 19th and Jason made some very special brownies for me in lieu of cake.

He used the brownie recipe I blogged about previously and topped them with a chocolate ganache and coconut shreds.

The brownie was very moist and fudgey, the ganache felt like silk against the roof of my mouth and the coconut gave it that extra pop of flavor.

The brownie piece in the photo was the very last one. Hmm what can I do to get him to make more?!
