This great shot was taken from the back of the Frankenstella during the Westender's Great Ghost and Grub Ride. It features Nate's pimped out Vespa GTS, which runs on rocket fuel, and my very large teeth.
The image was captured by my cupcake, Viva. There's lots more Frankenstella action on her awesome ScooterLust Flickr Photostream.
My love of two-wheeled machines is surpassed only by my love of four-legged creatures. I have the privilege of sharing my home with Princess Nevadelia Lotus Blossom. I've been her servant for almost four years. She is a ridiculously beautiful lynx-point Himalyan mix cat with a feather-duster tail. Despite the fact that her enormous blue eyes are crossed, she is a formidable moth slayer. Nevadelia adopted me from the local animal shelter and turned me into a certified cat worshipper.
You can imagine my insane delight when I discovered the Flickr group, Cats on Scooters. Their subtitle is, "Cats are taking over the world - and they're using scooters!"
While Nevadelia enjoys lounging on the sunny veranda of our residence, The Aloha Cabana, her reign is limited to the confines of the property because a free-roaming city cat is a dead cat. So I was stumped on how exactly I was going to participate in my new Flickr obsession with the cat on one side of the fence and my scooter on the other. Oh yeah... PhotoShop!
This photo is from the Sustainable West Seattle fair. A couple of people asked me about the magnetic poetry yesterday's article in the West Seattle Herald referenced. Here it is!
Aphrodite was covered head to tail light in Sexual Innuendo Magnetic Poetry. It was fun for a few months and then i removed it because it was scratching my paint. Last week I found one lonely word lying on the floor of the garage, and stuck it to Celeste.
Saturday's Frankenstella project report: freshly-minted cowls, complete chrome kit, Genuine license plate frame, retro badges from StellaSpeed, fresh rubber gaskets... just four whitewalls shy of a total remodel. Ain't she a beaut?
A full "How (not)To" entry is soon to follow. Moral of the story: there are some tasks best left to the professionals.
Aphrodite reflects Queenie's scooter, parked nearby.
Took this today at Magnolia Park. Every time I think I've seen the most beautiful thing Seattle has to offer up, I get a whole new view. This sunshine seems as rare as tonight's Lunar Eclipse. I'm enjoying both.
In related news, I've decided to trade in "sick" days for "scooter" days. Sorry boss -- I've got wanderlust today. And it's pretty serious.
