ANNIVERSARY, BABY! aka. start a weave train

2009-09-29T00:37:00.000-07:00

Wow. So, there are 2 things we can't believe:

1. wherezmyweave is over a year old! WOWZA, kids! That's right- OLD(ish... in blog years)!

2. Umm, we forgot and didn't really do anything special for it. BUT that's so PERFECT because TODAY is the one year and a month anniversary of our maiden voyage into the depths of the magical world of weave hunting! Oh, where has the time gone...

Besides celebratory font colors, something else special for this day:

http://jezebel.com/5351170/what-you-are-about-to-see-is-real

NOT DONE (cause we celebrate in style)! We've recomposed a classic little diddy to go with the theme:

People all over the world (all the world, now)
Join hands (love ride)
Start a weave train (weave ride), weave train
The next stop that we make will be soon
Tell all the folks in Russia, and China, too
Don't you know that it's time to get on board
etc. etc.

Happy Year and a Month Anniversary, bias!
Thanks for supporting weaves throughout the world and keep the pictures coming! Without you, too many weaves would be on the ground in vain. So go on, start a weave train.

This weave was on the ground whilst our weave-watching friend was out for a jog. If I knew how to flag this post as "most special yet", you bet your pretty little faces I would.

Quite sizable:

We give you a few Brooklyn weaves.

A dual wet and wild weave (to the left, center). The front of this store is a gold mine.

A little curl action.

Can't you just feel the motion? A weave entangled in leaves.

a weave is like a cloud

2009-03-14T15:36:00.000-07:00

When it falls to the ground, there's no telling what shape it will take. It can look like anything. Let your imagination run wild (or just squint your eyes).

For example we have this weave/wig...

...which looks a bit like this:

snowbird weave

2009-03-07T13:04:00.000-08:00

Our DC correspondent has found a weave resting at the intersection of Rhode Island (home to the nation's oldest carousel) and Florida* Avenues. This is one Americentric weave.

*in case you aren't from there, Floridians deem northerners who have summer homes there "snowbirds". Where I come from, a "snowbird" is also the name of the puppet who would come on TV and tell us about school cancellations and delays.

wholey bang

2009-02-22T23:52:00.000-08:00

Brooklyn weave with a leaf. Looks to be of the bangs genus and an auburn hue.

Weaves like this are always curious. Mostly their completeness. How did an entire section, a discernible chunk get on the ground in its entirety? Pretty special and in tact.

ringlet and binky

2009-02-15T11:37:00.000-08:00

Scene: Baby and mother get into a fight. He wants his pacifer and she doesn't want him to have it. In the end, they're both losers: he loses the binky, she loses a perfect tornado-shaped lock of weave. There are never winners in the game of love (I'm not sure that applies, but go with it).

west coast throws weave on the ground

2009-01-29T11:04:00.000-08:00

This is the first Californian weave on the ground (we have a RAVAW in the air from San Franciso, like this beaute). Our informant provided useful information on the experience:

"Spotted: near the ocean in San Francisco
Is it: a mustache? A baby bang?"

Good questions. Judging by size, shape and slight curl, we wonder if it is a bang as well.

thanks Abby

inauguration weave

2009-01-24T09:15:00.000-08:00

Yes, an inauguration weave. Control yourself, people. Along with the whole Obama thing, this sure convinces me that this country is headed in the right direction. 2 perfectly curled locks remind me of what our president says: (something like) there is no liberal America, there is no conservative America, there is only the United States of America. Sure, but I think I'll stay in New York just in case that's not so true... Anyway, there is no right strand or left strand, there is only a piece of a weave wrapped around itself in its glory by a mentos wrapper on the ground.

You know, along with being the capitol of the free world, DC sure has a lot of weaves on the ground for the masses.

thanks Matt

bad news, kids.

2008-12-02T09:30:00.000-08:00

But temporary- my computer bit it.

This means only 2 slightly problematic (but not fatal!) things for wherezmyweave: 1. It'll take me a hot minute to get a new one and get some more posts up and 2. Some precious weave memorabilia was on that computer. Don't fear- I trust in BestBuy and their "bargain" file-extracting capabilities.

royal weave

2008-11-08T10:46:00.000-08:00

Someone's (the universe) trying to tell us (humankind) something. This weave is too perfectly detached and aligned that we have to wonder what that something is. Move about 1.5 feet from your computer (if you're much closer than that, there's a problem anyway) and squint. We see a crown. You?

weavekill

2008-11-02T20:14:00.000-08:00

Brace yourselves- we have a trifecta of firsts on our hands: first southern weave, first Texan weave, first weavekill (weave flattened by motor vehicle). It's a good day all around.

A very loyal weave-follower sent in this amazing picture and a brief description:

Weave found "Deep in the Heart of Texas"; UT campus on November 1, 2008

TEXAS!? We couldn't believe it either! But the proof's in the license plate.

Yes, Texas. Yes.

a halloweave story

2008-11-01T22:34:00.000-07:00

Halloween was an interesting night for us here at wherezmyweave. We want to share the experience with you from the perspective of a weave dressed as Sarah Palin circa 1985. Or Cousin It. Regardless, hands down the best dressed of the night.

It starts...

One of us here at wherezmyweave dressed up for Halloween. "As what?!" you might ask. A WEAVE ON THE GROUND. Obviously.

Below is our staff member demonstrating a RAVAW (random act of violence against a weave).

Weave in the sky! It's too dark to see it. Trust.

So the weave started out as a secret agent...

As the night progressed, it gained a crown.

The night got pretty wild pretty quickly... and so did the weave.
Indoor weave on the ground! Always the life of the party!

The end.

(Just to clarify, this is the first time we've posted a weave that has been positioned. In light of our staff costume and the holiday, we thought it should be celebrated right- with her prop. This is not typical and all of the weaves we have pictures of are actually found on the ground.)

happy halloweave

2008-10-31T00:12:00.000-07:00

After a brief vacay, wherezmyweave is back with a vengeance. And when better to make our comeback than on Halloween? And what a Halloween it is!

red, weave and blue

2008-10-19T10:25:00.000-07:00

Okay so there's no blue, but there's a red weave. Not only one, but two: one dry and one wet: a wet and wild red weave!

Left: Dry
Right: Wet

west coast weave (in hand)

2008-10-10T12:29:00.000-07:00

We received this photo from an avid wherezmyweave follower, who was traveling the west coast in search of weaves* when he bore witness to a RAVAW (random act of violence against weaves). Although it wasn't on the ground, it sure looks like it did something to piss that woman off, and probably ended up on the ground shortly after. Let's go to the source for a first-hand account:

I have no idea what fodder you need for your website, but the woman in the attached photo was aggressively throwing and shaking her weave at a San Francisco tour bus yesterday in the Tenderloin District at approximately 11:00am local time.

*Not true.

Thanks Eric

sarah palin vs. weave on the ground

2008-10-07T00:29:00.000-07:00

WINNER:

LOSER:

Some say that Sarah Palin won the VP debate against Joe Biden. It's debatable, but fine. However, there can be no doubt who won our poll "sarah palin vs. weave on the ground". The results speak for themselves:

Weave on the Ground: 42%
Ólafur Ragnar Grimsson: 28%
(r)evolution: 21%
Sarah Palin: 7%

7%, Sarah? Pathetic, but no surprise considering the competition. I think we all know what this poll shows: Weave on the Ground/Grimsson would do a damn better job than McCain/Palin. We welcome disagreements but just so you know, statistics are on our side.

Thanks to everyone who voted!

weavestick

2008-10-07T00:00:00.000-07:00

We have what you've all been waiting for: the elusive weavestick!

"What the hell is a weavestick?" you may ask. Well, it is a hybrid: weave and sausage link (we think). No matter. A weave lover and good friend sent in some great shots of this weavestick that seems to have escaped from that garbage can. Yikes! Way to stay on the ground, weavestick! We support the fight for freedom and against terror, as well.

lock of glory

2008-10-05T11:42:00.000-07:00

I only have one word for this: WTF? How did this singular lock fall out and what was it doing on someone's head? Is it a partial bang? A sideburn? Were there multiple all attached to form a full head of hair? Its determined curliness is really admirable. Love it.

wherez my crayfish?

2008-10-04T14:06:00.000-07:00

On Ocean Ave. Naturally.

We received this photo and a description of the experience (edited for the children).

"dude..a f****** crayfish on the ground in ny. I mean I guess it makes sense...it was on ocean ave..."

Poor confused crayfish! His little body gave up the ghost after eons (in crayfish time) of search the wrong Ocean for his friends. A moment of silence, please.

Thanks Italia and Brian

weave peeve 2

2008-09-29T00:42:00.000-07:00

We recently had an inquiry from a reader as to the legitimacy of our weave photos. We just want to reiterate that all of the weaves you see on this page are documented in their originality. We have not placed, arranged or changed anything to our liking. We promise. As for the weave pictures sent in, we assume their originality based on the look and position of the weave and the people who sent them in. Plus, if you go out to buy a weave, throw on the ground and take a picture of it, you probably have too much time on your hands.

We appreciate all questions and comments and don't be afraid to ask!

This unique and exquisite weave photo is from a friend and faithful follower. It was taken while she was documenting strange things around NYC. But I don't call this strange. No. I call this a thick, curly snake of a weave with an identity crisis. In other words, amazing.

With this, we introduce our version of the cloud-watching game: whatbethatweave. Squint your eyes, cock your head a little, and the possibilities are endless. Whatbethatweave? Tell us what you think!

This is definitely in the top 5.

Thanks Danielle

This lock of perfection is obviously from an ill-fated weave, but how did it stay so well preserved? In a dash-like configuration, one might say?

Or! Like a passionate stroke from an ever-graceful, celestial paintbrush, adorning the cruel city street with its glory, its excellence, its curiously ephemeral permanence! Oh boy, it's been a long day.

Size 8.

obama loves weaves

Obama supports weaves. We(aves) support Obama! Just in time for the debate!

Campaigning to be the president of the United States is tiresome. So, in his free time, Obama likes to look for weaves on the ground.* (We understand cause so do we!) We also heard he is extending his "Hope" campaign to include "Hope... to find more weaves on the ground!"** Regardless of his stance on weaves, we think Obama is great and will suspend our weave-searching activities until tomorrow so we have enough time to prepare for the debate, watch it, and also watch Sarah Palin videos on YouTube. ***

*This has not been confirmed.
**We straight made that up.
***We aren't really "suspending" anything, so don't get worried. However, we will be watching the debates and funny Sarah Palin videos cause let's be honest, what's her deal? Doubt she loves weaves!

SBW: single braid weave

2008-09-24T09:10:00.000-07:00

Now, this is rare. One braid weave piece alone and still in tact.

Look at that 3 piece knot action.

Size 6. A lengthy little thing.

It has a great shape. A little hook on the end. How did this ONE weave piece fall out so perfectly?

let's talk about this real quick

This is from about a month ago but its relevance still holds true. What the hell? Most of what we see on the ground is way better than what's happening here.

wherez my bangs?

As you can see from our model's sartorial selections, fall is most definitely in our midst! Trees are losing their leaves, the air is losing its warmth, weaves are losing their bangs...

surpise saturday

2008-09-20T08:21:00.000-07:00

It's Saturday! And Saturdays are good so why not celebrate them with some weave specialness? We're trying to get interactive so we'd like to introduce the first in a series called WeaveSpy. The rules are quite simple: we post a picture of a bunch of stuff, and you find the weave in it.

Weave Spy... with our little eye:

Wherez the weave?!
(HINT: It's not at the bottom left eating an orange! That is a mouse! Or a baby rat? Hope no one was saving that orange for later!)

wherez my 5 of spades?

With a weave and cigarette butts under a tree. On the ground.

dc weave

Our good friend Matt sent us this beauty in DC. This is the first United States weave we've gotten that's not in a state, but in a district! That's pretty awesome. This is also an amazing photo. Look where the weave is: on the road- in the crosswalk! Safety first!

thanks Matt
