Rip her to shreds

For original thinkers:
Oh you know her, would you look at that hair
Yeah, you know her, check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues
She looks like the Sunday comics,
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar
Oh, you know her, Miss Groupie Supreme
Yeah, you know her, Vera Vogue on parade
Red eye shadow! Green mascara!
Yuck! She's too much.
She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robbie Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen
She's got the nerve to tell me she's not on it
But her expression is too serene
She looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene!
Yeah, she's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull, come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull. Rip her to shreds.
Blondie

Weekend Impressions

I am back to Nowhere after a weekend in Somewhere, though I suppose Anywhere seems like Somewhere right now. Be prepared for a visual overload...

Captured Moments

Left: Henri Cartier-Bresson
Right: Sartorialist









When the camera captures moments like this, I feel captured, sitting and staring at the images for ages. The man on the left, he is diving into a pool of water, what will become of him next? The people to the right, where are they running, will they collide?

Nouveau Prada

Prada drew inspiration for its latest collection from Art Nouveau (my favorite movement in art) and I am in utter awe. The clothing is so stunning and eccentric and strange and wonderful, ahhh... I'll have to write more intelligently about this when I can think straight again.








The fairies and flower prints remind me of my favorite classic fairy tale books. The color palette also reminds me of childhood German jumpsuits in purple, aqua and mustard; looks like those colors are growing on me again...

Things that infused joy into my day

-anonymous postcard with quote from Stephen Crane
-random conversations with strangers at work
-waking up to new comments on my blog
-smiles with dimples
-two frightened rabbits
-people whose voices crack when they're nervous
-a delicious smoothie
-phone calls with family
-pretty ballet flats (since I stare at people's feet)
-this picture from the Sartorialist:

"There was a man who lived a life of fire.

Even upon the fabric of time,

Where purple becomes orange

And orange purple,

This life glowed,

A dire red stain, indelible;

Yet when he was dead,

He saw that he had not lived."

-Stephen Crane

Thank you

Decisions

I am wearing my skinny jeans and they're very comfortable, I don't have to worry about breezes or keeping my legs crossed, etc. However, apparently for a group presentation tonight I am supposed to dress "professionally" and somehow I doubt jeans fall into that category, so I will have to change. In addition that presentation is supposed to end right at 9:00pm and right at 9:00pm I am supposed to be ten minutes across campus starting work. Which means I will have to run across campus (and in my professional wear). I am split between "forgetting" to dress properly and meeting expectations and also split on whether to take a change of clothes with me to work, or just deal with whatever I do end up wearing.

Lately

Not much to announce, other than I really need to mellow out somewhat, what else is new? I am a very passionate person, almost anything gets me excited and I don't know how to be places on time, only ten minutes early...oh well.

Today I wore my vintage shirt dress that cost me under $4 USD. (I apologize for my facial expressions in the pictures, they certainly leave something to be desired.)







I'm contemplating my skinny jeans. It has quite literally been weeks since I wore pants (seriously) and tomorrow I intend to rock these babies, but who knows... (not a part of my room I like to show, the messy part)


And finally to show how OCD I am, a little sketch I made Sunday with plans of what I intend to wear this week (feel lucky, I cropped out the more detailed illustrations of the days, hours I'm working, homework due, plans to meet with friends, etc).

LFW Dai Tsuki

Things I'm loving from London Fashion Week:

Louise Goldin with the beautifully mixed colors and wonderfully manipulated materials. Also, this show begs the question: are swim caps the new turban?














Luella Bartley for a nice mix of distinctly sweet pieces and because batman is a fashion inspiration.














Facehunter, because the people attending the shows are often just amazing as what you will ever see on a runway. Street fashion knows couture.
