It's the PDX airport carpet, now in LEGO version! This is one of my favourite goofy things that is so Portland. Since moving down to Southern California, I miss Portland something crazy right now, and it felt like a good time to make a LEGO tribute of the PDX carpet.
I haven't done a lot of designing in LDD, but now that I use it at work I've started getting more familiar with it. As soon as I can get the rest of our brick out of storage, I'll finish up the physical version of this!

I'll admit it, I am not a football fan. So I woke up this morning with a weather report of potentially good skies for sunset so joined up with Greg O at the Pittock Mansion to catch the skyshow. The sunset wasn't epic but the clouds were pretty cool. Thanks Greg, it was fun.

dare I say it...Like A Champ!
Just to be clear, this was most likely meant as a 'fem to fem' (very much the vogue in PDX...) senitment, but the neo-Chauv's among us can't help but love it too. Indeed, cunnilingus is a high art form-

For my vacation I went to Portland, Oregon. I wanted to take full advantage of the different architecture and diversity in models so I held a casting call.
Justin contacted me after the casting call ended, but I made an effort to book with him since he's got a great look for the 70's theme I had in mind.
I've been doing a lot of 50's lately and, though I love the mid-century, wanted to change things up.
Though I don't like to glamourize smoking (I abhor it) I felt it was appropriate for the concept of a 70's drug pusher. That leather jacket is mine and I wore it practically everyday while in Portland's brisk weather.
The real challenge was lighting. Since I was travelling I didn't bring my brollys or my auxillary lights. Just a single lonely strobe. Thank goodness I had the setting sun on my side.

Did you know that the PDX carpet has its own Facebook page? It does.
In 1987 this controversial carpet was laid at the Portland Airport. Before that the floors were hard and the noise from the 'click-clack' of feet bothered employees. In 1987 the airport wasn't that busy, but it is now. There were a lot of people running around when I took this photo last week but with a 5-minute exposure they disappeared.
Now the carpet is getting ready to be replaced and people are once again upset, but in a different way. Souvenirs are being sold and I understand that even bike helmets are being produced with the carpet design on them. If you are a fan of this iconic carpet then you better go have a look….quick….before it is gone forever.
