Plain Prep/Nerdy Happenings/Lots of old pictures

Uninspired, mostly. But warm. Does my head look abnormally large? I think it does. I feel disproportionate in these photos, but all I had to work with was an iPhone for cryin' out loud. I'm also uploading a crapload of pictures from the past week. Or two. Sucks depending on someone to take pictures for you. Mais, c'est la vie.

Went to Lulu's thing last night. Outfit from that is also pictured. Was a crappy day, so I was really looking forward to meeting her...but alas, I left around 2:30 or so, and after having 2 drinks...okay, 4...I could no longer keep my eyes open or tolerate the drunken girls making out with any three-legged thing they could fine. So...I'm pissed. But at least I finally got some sleep. No Lulu, and she's STILL in NYC. Kinda weird to know that someone you kinda sorta know is in the same (very large) city as you but you'll NEVER find them. What can I say; I'm an odd person. For those of you who went, I hope it was great fun!

Today, I'm accompanying someone--as I would be too cool to go to such a thing on my own--to this, ahem...'fun' experience. Costumed, scary, sci-fi obsessed people, here I come. And I'm going to look at new cameras. That's all my over-stretched budget needs. MORE temptation. Photos from my recent shopping excursion to be added soon. Enjoy this lovely Saturday, y'all!









Photos are in no particular order, but my favorite is the last one. In case you don't get it, or decide not to click it, the sign says, 'She'll Kick Their ____'. The last word was blacked out, so I filled in the blank. Get it? Get it??

In lieu of clothing, I bring you the sweet, rhythmic sounds of Esperanza Spalding. I love jazz. I mean, LOVE it. She's got an incredible voice, and a casual, approachable demeanor, and she's an incredibly talented musician. AND, the bass is one of my favorite instruments. I know jazz isn't for everybody, but...check her out. She's great. Plus, she's got great hair. Who doesn't love that?
I can't wait to see and hear more from her.

Also found this designer of interest. I like the loose, deconstructed, layered style. Comfy and chic, all at once. Perfect for me, as I like to be comfortable in my clothes. By Boessert/Schorn:

*&%$

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:
