...and that's good news for the Disco Cat, as she's living life to the max :)
You can see her sleeping on Miki's blouse, under the sun in Brasov.
Yes, she sleeps during daytime, so she can party all night long. We know some of you think that's horrible and you can't stand day-sleepers, but you see, Miki was so good to her and accepted the Disco Cat without asking her to change :)
If that isn't true friendship, we don't know what is.
Warning: this post is not the funny-happy kind, so if you're feeling down, please don't read, it will only add to it :)
We had an awesome week(NOT!!!!) :) And it's not over yet - hurray...
Really, we had no idea things could sucks THIS much and people could be THIS...well, don't have a word for that :P
So we're trying to keep BURP "alive" in these days when everyone keeps telling us we're going thru a super-big crisis and things will get even worse. We're trying to focus on creating BURP kiddiez and on staying motivated. And we're trying to come up with new things that will make you happy - and make us happy in return, if you like them.
But things have gone from bad to worse lately. Collaborations seem to become awkward, money issues arise from each corner in the retail industry and people seem to be losing common sense in the process.
So we had this great week, as stated before :) Crazy meetings, bad news and sad people.
We could get sad, too. But instead, we feel this sudden energy rush that makes it all go away. We feel like nothing can go wrong if you're doing things right.
We might be crazy, of course. But hey, if you're still a BURP friend, you probably agree with us.
So they left on a short vacation while we were busy taking care of "serious business" stuff :)
The Bunny Girl wrote a letter saying they felt neglected...and they needed some adrenalin in order to be happy again. The Multiple Personality Sheep signed it with her little paw.
The Football Babes are not common sheepies: they like to run, kick and score :) All of this because of their crazy boyfriends, who were football-obsessed. They used to come home everyday after work, open a can of beer and fall on the sofa, watching the games.
So the ladies had to do something about it - if the lives of their guys revolved around football, they...started playing it, too :)
But then they began to attend football games as well, and you know how cute those professional football players can be...toned bodies, lots of speed, enough brain to carry a casual conversation... well, that was enough for the sheepies :)
So they dumped their sofa-boyfriends and moved on to the pro league :P
The press conference @ Tina R was OK, we had home-made cookies (that was a plus :P) and we had our pics taken a looot.
We also worked a lil' bit, arranging the kiddiez and fixing the displays (some of us even banged their heads to those display windows to test them :)).
But the best part was yet to begin, as the night was young and friends were ready. To party, of course :)
Crazy jokes, carbohydrates, drinks and lots of funny things. Thanks to Andreea, Kitten, Goss and...The Boy :)
Below you can see the mini-interview Roxana & Adina took at the launch. We're speaking about the collaboration @ Tina R and making funny faces. Don't laugh, OK?
And here's an interview in which the RFB girls talk to Iulia, the creative director at Tina R. Listen to her for more info on the project.
Oh, and did we mention the fact that RFB also has its own set of accessories as of today? The name of their creator is still a secret, but everybody seemed to be pleased with the result:
And here are a few pics of the BURP displays in the shop:
Well, the project is now launched :) You know we told you about a creative collaboration with a Romanian fashion chain - well, this is it. It's no longer a secret!! :))
11 accessory designers created special collections for Tina R - they are cute, colorful and sometimes quirky.
We also contributed with the Bunny Girl & her friendly pet, the Multiple-Personality Sheep:)
You'll get the chance to meet them & have fun at the opening party, this Saturday (2 PM - 8 PM) at Tina R -- Militari Shopping Center(please take a look at the map above for directions on how to get there).
Ioana just came back from her mini-holiday in London. Mini, London, well...a girl can dream :)
Anyway, back to reality now :) As you can see, she had the most wonderful time AND her lovely pics can prove to all that London weather isn't "horrible", OK? In fact, it looks as if it was rather pleasant, so there you go...there is nothing that can make this city anything less than spectacular :)
And Ioana had the cutest look: a red trench & a cool BURP brooch :) We are proud :D And a bit jealous of the Flying Bear, but that's it...we're planning our vacation right now!!!! See what a good set of photos can do to us? Please send more!! :)
The Old-Skool Cat decided to go on a shopping spree today. Of course we said OK - you know us - big souls, can't refuse the kiddiez anything :P
So we spent half a day shopping for clothes, books - and even antique furniture. I say we deserve some sugar :) In fact, let me rephrase that: it's mandatory!!
The Decent Flyer got up today with the thought of covering himself. He usually walks -- uhm, sorry -- flyes around naked, as you all know, but that is so over now.
Why, you ask? Why does he refuse to show his little green bum to the world? Well, it seems that taking your clothes off has become the latest "it" thing - and he really doesn't want people to think he is just "one of the crowd".
So he put on a pair of thongs, pulled his socks on and even got a pair of glasses - that'll keep him covered for sure :)
The BURP kiddiez spent the week-end attending a wedding, talking to friends about children, meeting people they haven't seen in a while, watching movies, working as little as possible and indulging. In everything. So, what did this teach us? That love is all around :))))
And even though we only realized that now, the lucky pair above (a.k.a. The Sexy Couple) has been aware of it since forever.
Their philosophy is that each of us is a half, just waiting for the other to become complete. Huh, so mushy-slushy, right? :)) But still...they might be on to something :P
Look at them -- completing each other even in the way they dress :XX
We've been working non-stop lately - and we made a lot of new things, which was great, because we don't want to get in a rut, do we now? :P
So we've also created these leather cuffs that are a bit different from the usual BURP kiddiez, but still lovely to wear :) So you understand why we couldn't help it and kept a few for ourselves :))
Mr. and Ms. Sheep got their family portrait today.
Just as expected, they were portrayed in typical looks for each of them: he's got "business" written all over his blue suit, while she's showing off her (topless) dotted beach attire :)
Yes, we're on a really tight schedule and we gotta get soo many things done as soon as possible...Now that's our story: always doing stuff in the last minute :)
Anyway, here's the first BUNNY BABE that got out of our hands :P You'll see more of her kind, but they're still in the making!!
Like 'er? You should know she used to be the cover girl for an XXX magazine, but then she decided she wanted to clean up her act and become a "good" girl.
Still, she's already got a few enemies, as you know people can sometimes get jealous of porn stars :))
The little Screwdriver Girl put on her "work dress" and came by to help us do stuff around the house.
We accepted, of course, but on a second thought...was that a good idea? I mean, she intentionally breaks up things just to get the chance to show her skills afterwards and fix them up. Still, all the stuff she "repairs" kinda has that postmodern sculpture look :)
So you see, we'd better run and save at least our work-table... :P
We told you we're keeping busy with a project that's due in about 2 weeks. We'll reveal all about it later :)
Until then, here's a small part of this special collection - Cloud 9 necklaces: puffy, colorful clouds for autumn/winter, ready to compete with the real (a little less prettier :P) ones.
When in rush, you get the best of ideas :) And Nico knows that. Here is proof: Miss Peetzee and her Mechanical Dog. Because today is a black & white day :)
Thanks for being so supportive and making us feel better. And, of course, for listening to us whining on the blog :))
Lovely miss Ancuta also jumped in to make our day brighter and sent the funniest pics ever. Here's what she photographed while vacationing in Istanbul:
The Harlequin Cat on the blouse, the sea in the background, Coke...well, what else can we ask for? That's almost like Paradise in a nutshell :)
And here she noticed a tourist was napping on the grass while holding an UNDECIDED PET on his belly :D
That's really cute!!
And because bellies are the talk of the town, here's a funny cat showing hers. Or his :)
Burping in the sun - that's the thing to do.
And last, but not least. Ancuta says: "Smile! I know there's a rainbow right around the corner"
Totally feeling down yesterday, but the Great Depression is over now haha :))))
Thanks to the lovely people around, BURP is still standing (as the song says). It was an offline Sunday for us, but here we are now - after a round of ice-cream, chocolate bars, TV shows and friendly thoughts from cute people.
But wait, there's more :)
When we came back online, we found this lovely NEVERGROWUP girl drawing above (by Kitten) and an email from sweet Miruna, saying she needs BURP for at least 80 years to go :D
Thank you, girls. Your magic works better than sugar :)
