Primp My Ride
[ 20 March 2007 ]
“I have an article idea for you me dear. Pimp my ride Gala-stylezzz! Please? The Toyota Corona I got for my 30th is sooooooo lame and has no sass compared to my old Peugeot that gave up. Help me make my ease-ey pease-ey Japanese-ey car cool?”
Now, this is certainly not my area of expertise. Though I may have been taught to drive at age 10 by my exceptionally irresponsible (but awesome) father, I have never actually owned a license (much to his chagrin). However, as soon as I received this email I immediately thought of Miss Sandra B.
Who is Miss Sandra B.?, I hear you ask. (Shhh, this is my imagination.)
She is a nutty but adorable girl from Massachusetts. I secretly think she is the greatest thing on earth. I’ve been reading her online journal for years — it used to be Novim & now she is situated at novimnet.livejournal.com. While I’ve never met her, it was through her website that I met the lovely Star. Anyway, the point is that Sandra has a Cadillac like no other!
It may not be to everyone’s taste, but it totally turns my crank & I thought it might give you some ideas…
Eloise!!
So, how are you supposed to make a car as stylish as this? The answer seems to be: a lot of estate sales, clear silicone sealant or Elmer’s household cement & some creative license.
I can’t think of a better way to travel across the country than in this fabulous beast.
Genius. I love it. I hope to one day have a car just like it.
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

I used to read novim all the time! Totally forgot about this girl, thanks for the reminder.
Squeeeeeee. I will post pictures, but I can nearly guarantee that it’ll be nothing on that!
LOVE IT. best car ive ever seen. this has defineteley inspired me. ive now decided im gonna have a van, decorated to soemthing of this effect.
i don’t have a license either, but the car was terrific…but what i REALLY noticed was her outfit/bathing suit/incredibleness.
could you point me in the direction of something like that?
Michelle — Not sure what you mean! Sandra used to work at a huge vintage/secondhand store so I think a lot of her stuff was nabbed from there. You might like to ask her over at novimnet.livejournal.com ?!
