My birthday went buy buy

Ah, the holidays. A time to think of good friends and family. A time to give to those less fortunate. A time for shopping. This year I did something different. Every time I bought something I had to do something nice in return. It worked out pretty well. So well in fact, that I got a bit choked up hugging my favorite Street Wise lady. What can I say, I've become a softy in my old age. Ain't life a bitch.

Nay, I can't complain. I found this gem for $5 clams at Urban. It pays tribute to one of my favorite childhood crushes: horses.

Got it cut and straightened the day before (see Sailor pic) and had to take advantage of the straightness as long as I could. That's a little faux-hawk pumped up pony.
