Being an assassin is very hard on your nails, that’s why I’m thinking of changing careers. | Fetch My Flying Monkeys
Everyone needs a fleet of flying monkeys to rip the stuffing out of the annoying people in their lives
— Laura

Here’s my hand-modeling hand catching a short bus:

Polish is Orly's "Decades of Dysfunction" from their Dark Shadows Collection.

I’m thinking that if I don’t get hired to model nail polish, I should get a job naming the nail polish colors. That’s got to be one cushy job. I’ve even been thinking of a few color names:

Dark purple- “Punched in the Throat Purple”
Light Orange- “Circus Peanut Cornucopia Orange”
Dark Red- “WHORE! Red”
Green- “Pancreatic Explosion Green”
Medium Red- “Stab You Until The Voices Go Away Red”
Gold with Real Gold Flecks Throughout- “George Clooney Loves Laura Ledford”

And if any of you are Executive Vice Presidents of Cool and Awesome Nail Polish Name Development and are googling around and thinking about stealing any of my cool and awesome nail polish color name ideas, please refer to Dark Purple and then Medium Red. It isn’t just a color, it’s a statement.

    Maybe if you had different things in your hand, you might get their attention? You know like the meduim red…. hold a bloody knife?

  2. I wonder which pays more, assassin or hand model? Or maybe you could do each part time, and have the best of both worlds?

  3. Janie Jones says:

    Punched in the Throat Purple, Circus Peanut Cornucopia Orange… Brilliant. Love it. You need to have a whole line of say, Voodoo Nail Polish colors, and Vigilante Nail Polish colors, and Mail Room Sheriff colors.

  4. I would totally buy those nail polish colors, Laura.

    The Medium Red I would buy in bulk to distribute to “friends and family”.

  5. Erin says:

    “It isn’t just a color, it’s a statement.” That’s the perfect tagline for nail polish. Better trademark that too!

  6. “Pancreatic Explosion” sounds like a death metal band, so it’s bound to…blow up. :-)

    But “Stab You Until The Voices Go Away”is Double-platinum.
    Ooh, platinum….hmmm, all the radioactive metals are about that color.
    “Plutonium Plasm Spasm?”
    “Nuclear Nightshade?”
    Nah, I don’t have your talent.
    Still you should explore the toxic metal shades…could get rid of a lot of WHORES that way. It’s a two-fer.

  7. Jeffro says:

    Were I an Executive Vice Presidents of Cool and Awesome Nail Polish Name Development, I’d hire you in a heartbeat. Nuff said.

  8. stacy says:

    I’d definately buy “stab you until the voices go away” it’s definately matches my mood given how stressful my work has been. I deal with some real morons here.

  9. Liz says:

    You, my dear, are a genius! Those names are way better then the OPI lines that try to be cute.

    I’d for sure buy the “Punched in the Throat Purple” as I love purple nail polish. I’d even try the “George Clooney Loves Laura Ledford” for something different.

  10. SB Smith says:

    Decades of Dysfunction – good name, but I like yours better, Laura.

    *
    I’ve had a SHIT morning, so I want to name a few colors myself, and I know they’ll be too long for nail colors.
    If certain people will leave me the fuck alone after this AM, the Rest of my day will be much better.

    Any Green – Gangrene
    Deep purple – I’m choking you
    Black – Crooked Politician’s Soul.(or is “crooked” too redundant ?)
    Brightest Red – Anger Is But One Letter Short of Danger
    Alternate Black name – Grave
    Metallic gray/silver – Shovel with his name on it.

    Naming colors is a great idea !

    Thanks !
    Better now.

  11. Fluffy says:

    It’s easy to catch the short bus; it stops right in front of my house! :)

  12. Jennifer says:

    LOL! I’d wear the hell out of Punched in the Throat Purple! lol

  13. Kim says:

    Your nails are jewels, grasping the mundane. The juxtaposition brings tears to the aesthetic zeitgeist.

    And you don’t have any fucking hangnails! What’s up with that? You suck!

    Don’t do any assassin work it will wreck the hands. Hire it out.

  14. lotta joy says:

    I had to change blogs, go anonymous, and – during the move – lost so many of my favorite bloggers. I FOUND YOU! (and you didn’t even know you were lost). Yesterday I actually took a photo of my nails so I’d say you were probably as bored as I was.

    • Laura says:

      Well I’m glad you found me!

      When I take my pic, I always look around to make sure no one sees me taking a pic of my hand. I don’t know, I just think it would loook kinda sad from the outside. HA!

  15. Princess says:

    Wait!!! No PINK? something like “Puke Pink”? Boy I feel left out….

  16. Holiday says:

    I would paint my toes one of every color then wear sandals to work… yep!

  17. Hailey says:

    Niiiice!, I love the Dark Whore Red… just my color.

  18. RoBo says:

    We used nail polish for lip stick one Halloween… yep..it stayed all night… and the next day… and the next day….and…..yep! we were so stupid.

  19. May says:

    I remember I used it to paint my Moms coffee table. I was all of about 5 yrs old. boy did I get cracked for that. Nail polish has a lot of uses…. when your 5…

  20. Tad says:

    Does it come in Camo?
    I dont know what the hell I would use it for but Camo would be cool. I’d buy it for my girlfriend.

  21. Tink says:

    I want to be the first to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW LAURA… Im baking…..

  22. Soloman says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA….VODKA FOR DINNER?

  23. Laura, just in case “Stab you til the voices go away” runs into some nany-state offensive silliness, you might try this approach. It’s probably just as offensive, but it’s also politically protected right now. Just sayin’…

  24. Yabu says:

    Don’t know much about nail polish, but you’ve got the name game going on. Name one “Liquid Love” for the Juju Woman. Also, you will be the Head Nail Polish Girl in the New Town, and you’ll get another raise. We can sell whores by color. Haha!

  25. LusherLaRue says:

    Happy Anniversary of the Day YOU were Born! May all your gin and tonics and circus peanuts and George Clooney dreams come true!

    Thanks for being you.

  26. SB Smith says:

    Happy Birthday !!!

    Hope you get to um…eliminate one person you’ve always wanted out of the picture…..or, if not that, at least Something else that’s Fun today !
    :-D

  27. hotpants™ says:

    I personally like one I came up with… Slutty Slutty Bang Bang Red.

  28. Tootie says:

    Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Laura Ledford, Happy Birthday to yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou! sorry I couldn’t hold me breath anymore…have a great birthday weekend.

  29. ManhattanMaven says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I sent you a fabulous birthday present to the attention of Jack & Thelma. I’m SURE you’ll get it…LOL!

  30. SB Smith says:

    Hey !..I just found the perfect color for those assassin days….well, maybe disposal days – Heh.
    Ulta’s own nail lacquer “Concrete Evidence”.
    I bought some yesterday and it is truly the color of concrete !
    Couldn’t find it at Ulta’s site, but there’s a photo here:

  31. Mark12A says:

    Screw the nail polish thing. The world needs good assassins. Just wear gloves and gently squeeze the trigger. It shouldn’t chip your polish.

    I mean, I’ve got people standing in line just BEGGING to be assassinated. If you go out of business, we’re going to have a real crisis.

  32. LusherLaRue says:

    Laura, I hope you had a wonderful birthday weekend and that your liver survived all the birthday gin and circus peanuts. The only response required from you is one word – either “dead” or “dying”. If you are “dead”, we can send our sympathies and if you are “dying”, we know that you will recover – eventually, and we will at least know that you are alive. If you can’t type a response, see if Jack or Thelma or even J can help lift one of your hand model fingers.

  33. If you want to borrow my edged weapon collection you’re gonna have to put my bus down……gently this time, please.

  34. Elphaba says:

    Geez, still no new post. I’m starting to feel like a stalker. ;)
