Maybe a little from all of the above. It’s really pretty simple. We’re multi-talented domestic goddesses. Not only does this girl knit, but she loves to
cook too. Our process is a lot like the
perfect recipe. And unlike your aunt
Edna, we won’t claim ours is a “secret” and withhold the details.<o:p></o:p></div>

always show our friends a good time when they come to town.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We get to combine a few of our favorite
things for a whirlwind few days: beer, crafts, and the fabulous Shawn Bowman of
<u>Criminal Crafts</u> fame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s
stopping by Cincinnati to promote her newest book, <u>Beer Crafts.</u><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’d like to join in on the fun, you can
visit us on Saturday August 24<sup>th</sup> at the Christian Morlein Taproom in
OTR for an evening of crafting with all things beer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Well, almost all things - bottle caps, beer
labels, etc.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Monday August 26<sup>th</sup>,
we’ll be at the Contemporary Arts Center for the “One Night, One Craft” with
Shawn from 6 pm – 8 pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tickets are $5
for CAC members and $8 for non-members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
recommend getting your tickets in advance for this event. It's sure to
sell out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can purchase them online
through the CAC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the event we’ll
move the fun to Arnold’s (another Bombshell favorite) for what’s sure to be a
fantastic after party.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When dedicating
your crafts to beer, it’s only prudent to belly up to the bar for research
purposes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyone…?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last month
Kitty Knitter and family took a vacation to the Outer Banks in North
Carolina. We played in the sand, soaked
up the sun, and made some fantastic margaritas.
We also visited the Wright Brothers memorial in Kitty Hawk. They had quite an impressive monument and a very
nice exhibit, but they have it all wrong.
We Bombshells know the first flight took place long before Wilbur and
Orville gave it a try. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to celebrate this year’s International Yarn Bombing Day by doing what we do
best, the impossible. </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">We've</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> had our eye
on the W</span><span style="line-height: 18px;">oolly</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> Mammoth sculptures at Cincinnati Museum Center’s Geier Collections

pachyderms. With only about 2 weeks to
design and execute, we decided it was time to create a scene from Disney’s </span><i style="line-height: 115%;">Dumbo</i><span style="line-height: 115%;">.
This installation was the dream of Bombshell, Miss Boo Radley. She spearheaded (Can you really say that when
speaking about </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">Woolly</span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Mammoths?) this massive undertaking and inspired us all to

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">We had our
choice when it came to the size of the project we wanted to create: small,
medium, large, or (you guessed it) mammoth.
This Kitty opted for small and ended up with a 25”x 40” piece of Mrs.
Jumbo’s blanket (Mrs. Jumbo = Dumbo’s mama).
Yep, that’s roughly the size of a baby blanket. Small is relative when
it’s done on a W</span><span style="line-height: 18px;">oolly</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> Mammoth scale. This
girl can really crank out some knitting, but it typically takes me a couple of
months to finish a blankie for my friends’ little kittens. I think an unspoken rule of being a Bombshell
is biting off more than you can chew and miraculously making it work. Thanks to a few very late nights and Miss Boo
swooping in for the big finish, my piece was completed along with all our other
elements of yarn bombing magic. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">On Thursday
June 6th, a handful of Bombshells along with some much appreciated guests
installed our pieces on the mammoth sculptures. Yes, this was a couple days
before the official IYBD, but it’s never too early to celebrate. “The List” from WCPO was on hand to record
our bombing.

frantic) work for a group of fanatically dedicated fiber artists. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This girl does not run.
Not unless the house is on fire or there’s a line forming for a slice of
cake at a wedding reception. I’m
fantastically, impressively, unathletic.
My high heels are not conducive to running and then there’s the whole
sweating thing. We Bombshells do,
however, admire those who can perform the seemingly impossible feat of running
long distance. We salute your mental
fortitude and physical ability to keep your legs moving when all your body
wants to do is stop. We just don’t know
how you do it. So let’s raise a glass
and toast the fine men and women of the Flying Pig Marathon. </div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To celebrate these runners, each of the Bombshells designed
and created a fiber chandelier. We started
with 15 salvaged light fixtures of varying shapes and sizes. We then spent a few months knitting,
crocheting, and decking them out. We
took our pieces for a preview in Hyde Park Square before their official
debut. I do believe we created some
lovely mood lighting that evening. Our
collection was then installed in the chute at the end of the marathon. I guess you could say we were the light at
the end of the tunnel. (You see what I
did there?) As fancy as our chandeliers
were, we do realize few runners would be admiring them when they reached that
point in the race. We were simply hoping
we’d offer a pleasant surprise or a pretty distraction to help a few folks
cross the finish line.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While we may not be athletes, the Bombshells do what we can
to be supportive and celebrate the competitive spirit. We’re kind of like the Pep club for all
things Cincinnati. Or, maybe more like a
rowdy, unorthodox, but thoroughly fabulous group of cheerleaders. It can be difficult to shake our pom-poms
while holding a cocktail though.
Nonetheless, I hope you found this post illuminating and that it shed
some light on our latest project. (Ok, Ok, done with the puns…)<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">Everybody has “that thing” that they procrastinate doing for
as long as they can.</span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">Admit it.</span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">You know you have one.</span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">It could be cleaning out the basement, or

</span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">We avoid it at all costs.</span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">We feed
it with excuses until it becomes the giant elephant in the room that we’d
rather paper train and take for a walk than actually address the dreaded task.</span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">My elephant was a craft project.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The lovely ladies at Modern Makers invited the Bombshells to
create an installation for a fiber based exhibit. I </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">didn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> know much more beyond the invite,
but was excited by the prospect of working with other great artists on something
that was sure to be fun. I pictured our
yarn filled </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">hi-jinks</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> and camaraderie. I thought,
“I’m a Bombshell. We knit. I’m a </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">bad ass</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> knitter. I got this.” Then I found myself staring down
the barrel of a metaphorical gun loaded with embroidery floss. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The beginning’s a bit of a blur now. I think I may have blocked out parts of
it. I remember staring blankly at the
piles of fabrics, embroidery hoops, and printed instructions on the floor at
Pinky’s house. I think I was actually
trying to figure out where the yarn </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">hi-jinks</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> were hidden while simultaneously
trying to squelch the rising panic I felt at the back of my throat. I quickly grabbed two pieces and high tailed
it home so I could process the complexity of what I’d committed myself to. I told myself, “Kitty, you’re a domestic
goddess. You can do this.” I could
totally fake my way through this, right?
Right?!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Over the next few weeks I watched every YouTube video
demonstrating embroidery, French knots (Damn you, French knots!) and hand tying
quilts I could find. I bought water soluble
markers and floss. I did not, however,
make a single stitch. I stared at my
pile of craft supplies willing it to complete itself. I was frustrated. I was afraid of letting down the
Bombshells. This girl was most
definitely out of her depth. When I
could avoid it no more, I finally picked up my hoop and began my
embroidery. I tortured myself over which
stitches to use. I tore out my work and
started over so many times I lost count.
I fantasized about burning it all in a pile in my backyard and dancing
around the flames in victory over this project from Hell. My Waterloo.
My elephant. Then, I worried
about what the neighbors would think and<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5472331983055636256" name="_GoBack"></a> realized I </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">didn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> want to go to the trouble of buying another embroidery hoop, so that was
totally out. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Then, something unexpected happened. My outlook shifted after a few difficult days of stitching. Maybe it was craft
induced Stockholm Syndrome or maybe I just found my Zen. My mantra changed from “I hate this. I hate this.
I hate this.” to “Hey, this </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">doesn't</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> look half bad.” to “This is kind of
fun.” I somehow managed to get my pieces
done by the deadline to install our work for the art opening. I was relieved to be done and eager to drop
it off. I walked into the Modern Makers gallery
and stopped dead in my tracks. Many of
the other Bombshell pieces were already assembled and hanging on a wall. I was speechless for a full minute (And,
believe me, that’s a long time for this girl to be quiet). Each of our pieces perfectly flowed into the
next. We created a beautiful tactile art
installation for the blind. I knew one
of my pieces had a word in script and in Braille that I embroidered. I just never imagined it would all look so
gorgeous. I ran my fingers over each
fabric filled hoop marveling at the delicate work everyone had done. I finally saw the bigger picture and understood
the painstaking work was all worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">My lesson was a humbling one.
It’s important to remind ourselves that sometimes we lack
perspective. That the little thing we so
desperately avoid because we don’t like it, we’re afraid, or we just don’t want
to deal with it, </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">isn't</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> nearly as bad as we let it become by trying to ignore
it. To sum it up, quit your bitching and
just get it done. You might be
pleasantly surprised by the result.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m proud to be a Bombshell.
Not just because we’re a fabulous group of ladies with some serious
crafting skills, but because we’re resilient.
We gals are always able to find the bright side. It might take a minute and a few drinks to
get there, but we can see the humor in any situation. It’s a true talent. You know the obnoxious saying “when life
hands you lemons, make lemonade”? Well,
we say screw the lemonade, pass the tequila and salt! So, let’s talk about disappointment. We’ve all had those moments when that soufflé
we call our expectations falls flat and we can’t fathom what to do next. These can be unforeseen life events, or in
our case, it was a yarn bombing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyone that practices our fun craft medium knows that
planning is everything. We plan with
military precision. We take exact
measurements of our targets (we are after all, making sweaters for parking
meters, trees, statues…), compose an amazing design, and spend hours, days, weeks,
sometimes months knitting and crocheting extravagant pieces of art. When D-Day arrives, we break into teams and
strategically attack our project. Then
it all goes sideways and we get chased off someone’s property.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Considering all the time and energy we pour into our projects,
it’s understandable to have that toddler tantrum moment where your brain
screams “I’m gonna do what I came here to do!
Handcuffs and arrest record be damned.”
But then the sane part of your brain interrupts and you realize you’re
holding a flashlight and garbage bag of handcrafted goods on a stranger’s lawn
that’s no longer the agreed upon location of your commissioned yarn bombing. And, it’s getting dark. Rather than face an awkward situation with
the local police or, worse yet, a bad case of buckshot from the homeowner (thank
you Castle Doctrine of Kentucky), we decide to retreat to a bar and examine where
we went so wrong.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a few moments of silence and a few fingers of bourbon,
we realize this doesn’t have to be a disaster but an opportunity for something
completely different and even better.
This is how I found myself with the rest of the Bombshells in Mt Airy
forest one gorgeous Sunday afternoon in late September. We were creating a composition of our unused pieces
on a group of trees. Our work looked
stunning against the backdrop of leaves and branches. It was a temporary installation done to
demonstrate our art for someone who may be interested in it for bigger and
better things (stay tuned…).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While we’re a little too feisty to ever be mistaken for Pollyanna
or a perpetual optimist, we sure have a “can do” attitude. Truth be told, sometimes when life hands me
lemons I’d rather punch her in the throat than make anything. Glad I’m surrounded by my blonde friends who
will smile and say “we can work with this” while they hand me a cocktail. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Did you miss me? Go
ahead and admit it. You know you
did. Sorry to disappear like that, but the
Bombshells took a well deserved hiatus.
We were starting to get carpal tunnel from all our crafting and we
craved a summer vacation. But you can
only hold court poolside for so long.
After awhile, the tropical drinks and ogling the cabana boy lose their
charm. We’re ready to be more
constructive with our time again. You
know what that means? Let’s get
knitting. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We decided it was time to reconvene and have a yarn
summit/cocktail hour. Pinky Shears
sounded the alarm and drew the Bombshells from near and far. We shared stories of adventures and exotic
locations. We shared a drink or two (or
three, but who’s counting). Our break allowed
us to refocus our creativity and our energy.
We drew diagrams, thought big, and examined all things Bombshell. I think we truly outdid ourselves. So many great ideas. So many exciting projects. It’s going to be a big year for the
Bombshells indeed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’d be remiss if I didn’t divulge a couple teeny tiny
secrets. Our crafty itinerary for this
fall includes an appearance at the Ohio Art Education Association. We’re one of the key note speakers at this
year’s convention! That’s right. The Bombshells now have some scholarly
validation for our fiber art. We’re also welcoming a new member or two into the
fold. They’ve been thoroughly vetted,
sworn to secrecy, and they’ve taken the blood oath. I mean, demonstrated their yarn skills and
keen fashion sense. It’s serious
business becoming a Bombshell.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But this Kitty can’t let the cat out of the bag on any of
the other surprises. So stay tuned and
be ready. You never know what we’ll do
next and you might even see a new face or two in the blonde crowd.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until then…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In case you haven’t heard, Saturday June 9<sup>th</sup> is
International Yarn Bombing Day. This is
as close to a high holy day as you can get as a Bombshell, so we plan to
celebrate in style. We will be touring
downtown and visiting some of our favorite fine drinking establishments. We’ve even lined up the perfect chariot for
our holiday cruise: the Pedal Wagon. For
this, we must thank our wonderful benefactors - Cute Jack of Pedal Wagon fame and, Tasty Chris,
of hot spot Arnold’s. Hello boys! As Blanche Dubois said in A Streetcar Named
Desire, “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers”. So true.
This wouldn’t be possible without their generosity. Behind every Bombshell is a good man willing
to defend her honor, protect her identity, and feed her peeled grapes. Or, at least lend her a Pedal Wagon. Who says chivalry is dead?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As this will be a most auspicious day, we’ll be specially
dressed for the occasion. A Bombshell is
sultry on a normal day. Add in the
summer heat and we’re sure to make the temperature rise. Yarn bombing an outfit in these conditions
can be a challenge though. Wool yarn isn’t
my first choice when selecting attire for a tropically hot day, so here’s
hoping no Bombshell passes out from heatstroke.
Ahem, I mean catches the vapors and swoons from the heat. (Note to self: pack smelling salts and a
fainting couch.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So whether you’re at Fringe Festival downtown or simply want
an excuse for a cocktail, meet us along our route and help us celebrate. We’ll kick off the festivities on Fountain
Square at 2 pm where we’ll yarn bomb the trees, then on to Neon’s at 3 pm where
we’ll decorate our ride, we’ll pedal to the bars of OTR starting at 5 pm, and
we’ll conclude our cruise at 7 pm at Arnold’s.
If you’re lucky, you may even get a homemade party favor. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hope to see you there.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hugs and Stitches,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kitty Knitter</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
P.S. In case you can’t make it Saturday or you can’t get
enough of us (And, let’s be honest, who can?) we can be seen the next day 6/10 at
Second Sunday on Main in Dr. Bongonatti’s Art Parade. The parade kicks off at 1:30 pm.</div>BombShellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537510784871952213noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472331983055636256.post-71812446492896219772012-05-18T19:10:00.000-07:002012-05-18T19:10:46.874-07:00Crafty Supermarket<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
May 5<sup>th</sup> was just so many things this year: Cinco
de Mayo, World Pilates Day (yes it is indeed a holiday), and Crafty
Supermarket. All the cool kids and
awesome Bombshells chose to browse the handmade wares at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Clifton</st1:placename>
<st1:placename w:st="on">Cultural</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Arts Center.</st1:placename></st1:place> We came, we shopped, we

more fun than drinking too much tequila or spending an hour in a Pilates teaser
position. (Whatever that is. Although it does sound provocative does it
not?) </div>

But, then again, so are we Bombshells.
The CCAC perfectly housed the legion of artisans. Like any good party, it was crowded with
everyone buzzing about how excited they were to be there. Our friends made sure to stop by to say
“hello” and try their hand at some yarntastic fun. The wee little Bombshell fans are our
favorites! (Shhh. Keep it to yourself
though. We don’t want any hurt feelings.) We enjoyed pressing the flesh and sharing our

We classed up the joint too.
Not just with our air of sophistication, but with the nicely yarn
wrapped trees outside. While stitching
up a yellow and black striped tree, one Bombshell overheard a child gleefully
exclaim, “Look! A bumble tree!” This right here is our raison d’être. We are the patron saints of the slightly
absurd and seriously chic. This is why
we love what we do. We try to bring joy,
bewilderment, and a sense of style to an often mundane world. So stay tuned to see what we have up our
collective sleeves next. You won’t be

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra rang us on the Batphone
and asked if we’d be so kind as to yarn bomb Music Hall. “Of course!” we said, wanting to bring a bit
of our kitschy creativity to its otherwise austere interior. Everyone can use a little “fabulous” in their
world, amiright? Plus, we thought we
could help them end their season on a high note (pun intended).</div>

Once we received our call to action, we locked ourselves in
our top secret underground Bombshell bunker with nothing but yarn, and Handel,
Bach, and Beethoven music for inspiration.
(And snacks. We can’t forget the
snacks. Snacks are important.) We emerged a month later with our brightly
colored masterpieces and a newfound appreciation for dead German composers. Oddly, some of us are only able to craft in
4/4 time now thanks to our immersion experience. </div>

We learned a valuable lesson with this project. If you want to be featured with the CSO, you
can spend a lifetime mastering an instrument.
Or, if you’re a clever little Bombshell, you can gift them two fabulous
banners. And that, my friends, is how
you create a showstopper. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi all! Kitty Knitter here. Your newest resource for keeping up-to-date on all things Bombshell. We were crafting about town again on Sunday and had the pleasure of meeting Bono, Bowie, and Barry Manilow. And, yes, they’re just as good looking in person as you imagined. Long orange tabby fur you just want to run your fingers through. Ohio Alley Cat Resource (OAR) held their second annual Kitten Shower. Doesn’t it make you want to clap your hands and squeal like a little girl at the cuteness? Bombshells + kitties = match made in heaven. I mean, other than a Bombshell, who loves yarn more than a cat?</span><div>
<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br />We spent the afternoon stuffing and stitching catnip mice for our furry feline friends. The community was invited to shower the shelter (and the adorable kittens) with love and supplies. For those of you not “in the know”, OAR is an amazing non-profit organization that provides high-quality spay/neuter services for feral kitties, strays, and pets. They have a small adoption center as well as a feral cat colony on site. They operate a no kill shelter so the kitties have a place to stay until they find a permanent home. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By shower standards (and I’m an expert since I’ve been to enough to last me a lifetime.), it was pretty great. Cake was shared, gifts were exchanged, and everyone “oohed” and “ahhed” over the babies. Just like the dozens I’ve attended lately minus the onesies and desire to stick a plastic fork in your eye if you have to feign interest in a Diaper Genie one more time. But, I digress… </div>
<div>
<br />I think it's safe to declare the Bombshell's "Operation Kitten Knittin’" a success! Our stunning good looks and blonde tresses made us the life of the party. We made new friends of both the 2 legged and 4 legged varieties. Orlando, the big blue cat mascot of OAR, even paid us a visit. We presented him with a handcrafted crown and mouse toy for the party. He looked quite festive for the occasion. Alas, some of our new friends were harder to part with than others (I’m looking at you Glenfidden of the Clan McLeod).</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br />After performing a complicated algorithm of appropriate cat to square foot ratio for my car, I ultimately went home alone. I think it was the image of a clown car filled with kitties unloading at my house that prevented me from asking for a bulk discount on adoptions. That, or the inevitable crazy cat lady intervention that was sure to follow from my family and friends. They would express their concern at the volume of lovable fur babies in my one bedroom apartment. And, I (clothes covered in cat fur and blond Bombshell hair unkempt) would shout things like "I can quit whenever I want!" and "I learned it by watching you!” Yep. That's enough to keep me from binging on kitties for now. <br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Seriously though, we can’t say enough about this wonderful organization. Support OAR. Open your home and foster a cat. Open your wallet and donate. Volunteer your time. In the end, a nice afternoon was had by all. The overwhelming cuteness of the event, the cats, and the Bombshells was enough to warm anyone’s cold, cold heart. We even got to see a few of our new feline friends get adopted. Now that makes this Kitty purr.</span></div>

See?<br />
<br />
Charming and harmless and sedate and adorable. BombShells behaving.<br />
<br />
Well then we went over to Fountain Square to carol and skate and bomb and give warmly knitted gifts to those in need and such where we ran into an entire squadron of Santa Clauses.<br />
<br />
One thing led to another, as it tends to do, and it took me a week to find my way back from Santa's "workshop" at the North Pole (which looks suspiciously like Over the Rhine, by the way.)<br />

<br />
Last week, your favorite BombShells debuted their winter white outfits and surprised the Cincinnati Ballet's Ballet and (root)Beer event for their sneak peek at the NEW Nutcracker.<br />
<br />
We gave out leg warmers to the amazing corps de ballet and Wish Poms to the young dancers. New Nutcracker got a fancy Pinky Shears scarf and beautiful Victoria Morgan earned a felted tiara.<br />

<br />
I had just gotten off the train from <s>High Anxiety</s> Really, That's How You're Going To Play This? Junction when I heard that the gals were on a mission. So even though it was dark and blustery, even though my heart had endured a tiny puncture wound, I put my troubled past behind me and skedaddled over to the heretofore double-top-secret site.<br />
<br />
But while I was in Really, That's How You're Going To Play This? Junction, I did acquire some fancy new photography apparatus for my hand held telephonic device so that I can tease you with a little look-see as to where you will find our work TOMORROW!!<br />
<br />
So take a look. Can you name the building? If you are the first to do so and publicly identify yourself in the comment section below, you will get a special pom pom that we pom pommed just for you.<br />
<br />
And now it is time for a hot bath and a cold drink and one final devastatingly alluring text message on my hand held telephonic device to the mayor of Really, That's How You're Going To Play This? Junction.<br />
<br />
Oh, and by the way, to those of you who are equally interested in the BombShells exploits as you are in my compelling personal life, you aint seen nothin' yet!<br />

May Hem, here.<br />
<br />
So after the success of the Big Bomb (I will share just a few of the links below to some of the wildly generous coverage we received after our Central Parkway operation in September - and thanks to many friends for posting photos to blogs and Facebook - a few above), we were all a bit startled by our new-found fame. Some of us went underground, some of us took a break, and some of us couldn't stop stitching.<br />
<br />
I chose the second strategy and decided to head south for a little break on the beach with a male companion whom I will call "George Clooney" so as A: not to reveal his real identity, B: to describe his crazy good looks, C: because it makes me happy to be able to Google May Hem and George Clooney and find a link, albeit my own, that connects us together, forever, in virtual reality.<br />
<br />
So we were lying on the beach in our fancy cabana and "George " was rubbing my tired hands because I had complained just the tiniest little bit about how all my intricate stitch work and blogging gave me carpal tunnel issues and therefore it was hard for me to even lift my drink! As you can imagine, this was distressing news all around.<br />
<br />
So while "George" massaged, I recounted the Big Bomb success and the wild paparazzi filled aftermath and you know what he said?<br />
<br />
"You blew up, baby."<br />
<br />
I was all like "You mean like Snooki? Or Kim? Or Bethenny?"<br />
<br />
And he was all like "No better than that."<br />
<br />
And I was all like "Ha ha. Like who then?"<br />
<br />
And he was all like "Dude, you are like way more Debbie Harry or Gaga. You are using sex appeal ironically, right? You are using your sexed up identity and cute, craftsy materials sort of subversively, right? What's next? Reality show? World domination? Museum show? It's cool that all of those things are in the domain you've created. You own it, babe."<br />
<br />
And I was all like "Where's the cabana boy?"<br />
<br />
I excused myself and went to find cell service under a palm tree to call Pinky Shears to report on what "George" had said. I was in a panic. Was I ironic? Was that a good thing? Why was "George Clooney" acting so smart?<br />
<br />
Pinky laughed. "May, we are a bunch of women who know a good thing when we see it. We want to have fun. We are smoking hot. We work hard. We are wildly talented. We like to do things in the community that make you look twice and think about what else is possible. If that is ironic and subversive, then that's okay by me. Tell him we are working on a plan and that a BombShell doesn't reveal future plans to anyone, even if it is George Clooney."<br />
<br />
So I did. And 'George Clooney' seemed to be fine with that, especially because we, well, you know. We did some subversive and ironic things.<br />
<br />
What's next for the BombShells? We can't tell you EXACTLY what we are doing, but know that we are going to have a very busy end of the year and 2012 is going to be off the hook.<br />
<br />
If you want to be in the know every single BombShell second, "Like" the BombShells of Cincinnati on Facebook ... that will keep you super up-to-date. Like on our amazing bombing at the Cincinnati Art Museum this week.<br />

In the next couple of days, I will be adding loads of photos and links to mucho news coverage and more of my snaps of the BIG BOMB. But before I sign off for the night, on behalf of all the BombShells, a huge thanks to Pinky Shears - the best BombShell ever.BombShellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16537510784871952213noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472331983055636256.post-2132996314579642092011-09-21T17:14:00.000-07:002011-09-21T17:14:09.572-07:00The Big B is Like the Big O only BETTER!May Hem here. And your <s>faithful</s> loyal correspondent is actually a little misty eyed sitting here in my media perch reporting on the BombShells at work on the BIGGEST YARN BOMBING IN THE HISTORY OF YARN BOMBING. (We believe this to be entirely true at this very second.)<br />
<br />
Get off the couch and come on down to Central Parkway and put on a platinum wig and join the BombShells as they cover the entire median from Broadway to Central. Not to mention the Metro Bus and a rad bike and a pig.<br />
<br />
More soon. I'm going to let these early photos of a grand night of yarn insurrection in Cincinnati, Ohio speak for themselves.<br />
<br />
Go BombShells! Go Pinky Shears!<br />
<br />
And thanks to ArtWorks and our other supporters (full listing to come) for helping make this a grand summer of knitting, crocheting, connecting and loving up our city and each other the BombShell way.<br />

<br />
The BombShells may be a little worn out from their super top secret weekend operation (which by Monday night will be artfully evident to all!) but we can assure you that you will not see one platinum lock out of place nor one tired gam at rest.<br />
<br />
No, no. We will be there to teach you our BombShell ways.<br />
<br />
Hurry hurry and make your reservation now. $5 gets you a pom pom or two but bring a few extra bucks for a cocktail. We will not mind if you buy us one. Or two. Hint hint.<br />
<br />
Monday, August 29th<br />
6-8 pm<br />
Contemporary Arts Center 6th floor, UnMuseum.<br />

Oh, just you wait. We are coming soon to all your favorite locations.<br />
<br />
And if you like us, be nice to us and maybe, just maybe, you can grow up to be a BombShell too.<br />

Toot toot hey beep beep.I'm going to say it straight up. This is all a bit of smoke and mirrors and sleight of hand while we work on some massively exciting BombShell bombs. You think we've been out just martini-ing it up this hot ol' summer? No way, doll. We've been up to no-good/for-the-greater-good projects.<br />
<br />
Just you wait.<br />
<br />
Until then, a little summer song for you.<br />
<br />

</span> </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><br />

<br />
So one of our BombShells goes by Toots. And while she claims to be a down-to-earth, mudcloth, hoarder-o-fiber, down and dirty sort of gal, I'm not so sure.<br />
<br />
I took some double-top-secret snaps of her double-top-secret work for our next double-top-secret bombing and, well, check it out. It seems pretty black and white to me that Toots has a double life. She says "earth shoes" and we see stilettos. She says "hand-me-downs" and we see vintage sexy.<br />
<br />
All I'm really sayin' is that what you think you know about us, think again. And look at the quiet woman next to you at the coffee shop. Think of your mother or your sister or your daughter. Do you know for SURE that they aren't a secret BombShell?<br />
<br />
It's not all black and white.<br />

Wip it good.Oh no, darlings. We are not dormant. We are getting ready in a stealthy stitch-by-stitch manner for some wild business of the fiber persuasion.<br />
<br />
But we don't want you to forget us so I may be profiling a few BombShells, on occasion, when not with my man on Fire Island (or the other one in Gatlinburg). It is August, after all. And no civilized BombShell actually WORKS in August. We travel. We knit. We cocktail. Hurray!<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, meet Wip, Pinky's right hand BombShell.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir64IwXkHNKOPxgDHgj2yS5fUfzAqVeoeFm4j1Ha_aqiJarWgQ4yLUyRtWftOS8bTtD9iypUWHxYA9RTz9J3eCQdOLCeREmOPpvITHNMMPh-1McawzaLnrc_KvWEILhQIXLQQFaGY6Gzs/s1600/IMG_4791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir64IwXkHNKOPxgDHgj2yS5fUfzAqVeoeFm4j1Ha_aqiJarWgQ4yLUyRtWftOS8bTtD9iypUWHxYA9RTz9J3eCQdOLCeREmOPpvITHNMMPh-1McawzaLnrc_KvWEILhQIXLQQFaGY6Gzs/s320/IMG_4791.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />
As you can see, she is a trickster. Her demure manner, her sweet dresses, her bows and baubles, they are smoke and mirrors I tell you. Smoke and mirrors.<br />
<br />
Because Wip is the one who whips up little rat babies to place around town. They are pretty cute but don't be fooled. Cuz a rat is a rat is a rat. And Wip knows RATS. As do all BombShells. In fact, that was going to be a part of the manifesto (history of hanging out with scoundrels and/or dancing on bars and/or attendance at Burning Man) but we nixed all that for our all-fiber creed.<br />
<br />
So that's our Wip. Sweet. Like burnt sugar. Like spiked juice. Like cotton candy in the carnival house of mirrors. Especially fond of Arnold's Bar and Grill. Especially keen on their Vodka Lemonade. Beware, beware, beware. If you find yourself falling for her southern charm, if you find her hand on your knee while you are sitting at Arnold's bar, know that she is plotting her next Rat Bomb.<br />
<br />
There. You have been warned.<br />
<br />
