Creative & Sweet Wedding Day Facedowns!!

Ohmygosh!! While looking through the stack of FACEDOWNS on my computer (there are a LOT!!) I came across this series.  Sent in by the insanely talented and hilariously energetic Laurel McConnell I can’t help but smile when remembering this story!

This is a wedding day creative view of facedowns!!  It was raining and it was their wedding day – so they didn’t want to get their clothes damaged…. totally understandable!!  So, they had this awesome angle to get standing facedowns!!

Way to go guys!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!  Thanks for playing our games!!

 

 

 

 

 

What the…. Kate McElwee?!?!

I can’t believe it!!  She said it was true and I didn’t believe her.  I know she’s done SEVERAL facedowns… but when searching for then – I cannot find them posted ANYWHERE on this site. Not Cool.

Kate McElwee a KICK ass photographer, super sweet girl and overall really great friend…. NOT ON THE WEBSITE?!?!  I do not believe it.

Here is a ROCKIN photo of one of our VERY favorite weddings… ehem… The McCoy’s by world famous photographer & our favorite curly headed lady Laurel McConnell of the beautiful and multi talented Kate McFriggenAwesomeElwee doing what she does best… entertaining us!

Thanks for playin this facedowns game in this facedown kinda world!

Epic IKEA facedown!!

Today’s facedown was HILARIOUS!! Laurel & I were at IKEA and sure enough, we bought WAY too much stuff. (yay for stuff!) SO – I had to ride home on the roof. Well, not really – but we thought it would be the AWESOMEST place for a facedown!

People were laughing so hard in the parking lot – some guy even had to come over and snap his own photo!  (could there be ANOTHER ilovefacedowns fan blog out there???)

Anyway – let us know what you think & better yet… SEND US YOUR PHOTOS!!  We do love to laugh!!

SO many new facedowns!!

People in my life are the COOLEST!  Lots of love to everyone for playing along, loving facedowns as much as I do and for coming up with all of these fun ideas!!

This first one is from a day spent with Laurel in Wallingford – we do love our neighborhoods!

This week was Alyssa’s birthday – so what better way to celebrate than with a FACEDOWN!?  Drunken Central Cinema Style??  Thanks to all the girls who were willing to lay on the dirty cement in the pouring rain. TRUE friends & awesome people.  XOXOXO

This next one is Eliza Truitt – we went to lunch with our good pals Kate Baldwin & Melanie Blair in Queen Anne (mmmm…. racha!) and you can’t just TELL someone about a facedown w/o showing them what it looks like!  hee hee!!  E – you are an inspiration!  Thanks to Easy Street Records for lending their parking lot!!

These next two are from a super awesome couple who, during their engagement shoot were willing to play along!  Thanks Roger & Ali you are the BEST!

iLoveFacedowns!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHH I Love to Laugh!!  When Eliza showed me this hilarious site called Facedowns.wordpress.com we laughed and laughed and laughed… BUT, when I noticed that we couldn’t submit OUR facedowns, I got sad.  So – first we uploaded them to facebook… but we REALLY need to keep them all in one place, so people can always come here for a laugh.

SO.  If you are out and about in Paris, Ketchikan, Playa del Carmen, wherever – and find a GOOD situation for a quality facedown – send it in!  I’ll post it asap and then everyone can laugh with you! (and sometimes at you!)  Email me your facedowns!!  …. barbie (at) barbiehull (dot) com

Below is our favorite Laurel McConnell (aka the queen of silly) and her bathroom companion Christopher Smith – this was right after a big show by the Bearatones. =) People didn’t know WHAT to think!  hee hee

This was one of the first round of facedown trials.  At the Tillamook Airfield.  Love it. Classic.
