Happy August! It’s the final stretch of summer and I’m proud to say my entertainment has been that of the unique and charming. I owe a lot of this to the influence of my twelve-year-old son who spends most of his day imitating a young man named Toby Turner. If you have no idea who he is, it is my mission to change that.

Please see my first exhibit and current guilty pleasure–

Cute, Win, Fail on You Tube: Seal Mermaid Dog

Sometimes your eyes need a break from all the pint-sized viewing of You Tube videos on iPads and so you take a good, old fashioned, large screen TV break and stumble upon a great indy movie you’d otherwise never have known about.

Nothing, and I do mean nothing, tops a visit to my hometown in the summer if you’re looking for Smart and Sexy. And that is all due to the one and only–

San Diego Comic Con

 

 

 

I couldn’t be wrapped up and falling in love with all this off-the-wall stuff at a better time. It’s been great inspiration for the long, lanky sweetheart of my current work in progress, Benny!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it! My perfect oddball summer of discovery in a nutshell. Did you fall in love with something new and unexpected these last couple months? I’d love to hear it. Have a great August, fishy friends!

Fishy kisses,
