*&%$

Some sad sack of crap/sorry excuse of a human being broke into my car yesterday night and stole my dry cleaning. And my camera. That being said, I will be camera-less for a bit...and relying on a iPhone for my photographic submissions. SOOOO pissed. Who DOES that??? Who breaks into a car for friggin dry cleaning? WTF!!
Jerkoffs...I had these really awesome pants I bought from Century21 in Lower Manhattan. They were by Imitation of Christ. They were cropped and cut like a pair of backwards jeans. Interesting, but the zipper as broken and I just never got around to geting it fixed. Figures that I would and it would get stolen. Ah well.
Planned this surprised party for someone this weekend and it finally came together. I'm not sure what problem people have with time, but the invitation said 7 pm at the LATEST, and these SOB's showed up at 1 in the morning. I mean, I understand the concept of CP time, but 6 HOURS LATER? Clearly, this has been a disastrous weekend. Fortunately, I was able to enjoy at least some of it. There are some pictures of the repair shop with the broken window. Comisserate, I command you.
Since I've nothing fresh, enjoy these much older pictures.

My Obsession

The tux is timeless, classic, and with the right cut, can be one of the sexiest outfits a woman wears. Some of my faves:

Inspiration

Anais Nin was an incredible author and woman; beautiful and graceful and eloquent. Ahhh to be beautiful, gifted and French. Well, here are her pictures anyway.








She had this great innocence about her and a quiet, dreamy grace. I read Volume 2 of her autobiography a few months back. Check it out if you get a chance. Good stuff.

Thursday








Okay, so it's not super interesting, but it's comfy and warm and I'm SICK AS A DOG. So...there. I love the green of these shoes. They're from Born and have a rather vintage-y/bowler-y feel to them that I really love. Plus I love green. The vest is a consignment find from The Closet on Newbury Street in Boston; it's reversible and from Rogan. I realize the arm warmer things are bunched a little too much over my hoody, but they're my favorite souvenir from Vegas so I WILL make them work. Again, I chalk it up to my being sick. Oh yeah, and I don't have a beer belly; it's the way the hoody was bunched. How are things with you all?

Happy Change Day!










He Won!!! Now I will rant...

CONCESSION TIME: 11:15 PM, NOV 4. lol.
I would like to congratulate the new First Family on their first day of iconhood, and the new puppy that they'll be getting. Sweet. A dog.
I thought it was interesting to see the clear class divide displayed in the two different venues. McCain camp: button-downs and suits; Obama camp: blue jeans and tee-shirts. Kinda creepy.

Too bad, Lady Palin chose not to grace her public with a wink his evening. She did, however, look like a painted doll. Also creepy. So was Mrs. McCain's f'ing suit. WTF was that color.

THAT said, I'm all done with the commentary on the election. I hope to not hear the word change for another couple of weeks, but of course, that's optimism at its finest. For your amusement, dear friends, my outfit from yesterday. Ta-daaaa.

Had to change clothes due to a wardrobe malfunction during the day, so I'm wearing 2 outfits. How awesome is that? I bet you never get to wear two whole outfits in one day.





w/o jeans:
Turtleneck Dress by BCBG, Gold Cuff by vintage seller, Coat by Walter, Over-knees by Gap, Belt by Steve Madden, Wingtip oxfords by Boemos, Scarf by random seller

w/jeans:
Hat by BCBG, Denim by Deener, Wingtip boots by Boemos

I'm Late...





...For Halloween. This will be brief. 'Twas Halloween; I was a prostitute--or Capt. Save-a-Hoe. No one was particularly amazed at my get-up. Most people thought I was just dressed for a fun night. Which is fine. I actually went up to a woman when I went to get the tights in the store (not the AA brand) and asked her which she thought was trashier, to which she responded very tightly: "They are not trashy when properly styled". Me: Crap. That whole weekend was a blur of faux pas.

By the time I got to the already 6 hour long pub crawl, everyone was already drunk. It's quite a sight to see, really--watching completely drunken people through sober eyes is quite an event. That being said, I've attached some pictures of the horrific wig, the Pirate, Lil Mama, and Captain SaveAHoe.
