Day to Night Beachwear

We are fortunate live in a town with many marinas and the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan. Therefor, we are often in swimsuits and cover-ups by day and sometimes have little time to get ready for an evening out. We have created 2 outfits using the same dress/ Cover-up that take you from day to night simply by adding a few extra accessories.

Because we all appreciate outfits that are stunning yet transitional we did a continuation of our Day to Night Wear. We have added a short and long dress with accessories that can easily be paired with either. We both have agreed that Maxi dresses are a staple in our closets and love the versatility of them. So, splurge and enjoy these cover-ups by day and dresses by night.

Sun up – Sun Down

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to spend the day and evening on the water in beautiful West Michigan. We left port in the afternoon and enjoyed the warm day and beautiful views. Later that night we enjoyed a fantastic meal, cocktails, music, and a moon-lite cruise. One more memory for the books.

Lyrics

Hey, Once I was a funky singer playin' in a Rock and Roll band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything arround me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin'so low
And I decided quickly (Yes I did)
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah, they was dancin' and singin'and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh, ya ya

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish (How could I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, loosing every step of the way
I said, I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music, right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, ya
Till you die
(Gonna play that electified funky music, yeah)

"Play that Funky Music", Wild Cherry

Kailee's Funky 8th Birthday Cake

A cousin asked me to do a cake for her daughter, which I was given free reign. I thought I would try something a little funky- and since I LOVED the zebra print cake from a few weeks back, I figured it was the best time to give it another shot.

The bottom (9 inch) teir is a dark chocolate cake, filled with chocolate buttercream and crumbcoated with buttercream. I marbled the fondant with a hot pink and white- then "sponge painted" using paste color. I made the "8" the night before using fondant and tylose- I was worried it wouldn't be dried enough to hold it's shape, but thankfully, it had. Added feather boa for little extra funky!!!

Thank you to polka dot cakes for lending me her design!!!!

Funky Fly Freshness

Having a little fun with a shot from easter. Cloned out a busy background, cross processed, painted back most of the original layer unto the face, then added some heavy vignette for effect. My wife doesn't like it, but I think it's funky, fly, and fresh ;-)

Looks like some clone artifacts are hanging around on the walls, but this was just a quick edit for fun.
