 stockings

i have finally found a way of wearing thigh highs without looking totally trashy!  and ironically, mischa barton was the one who changed my mind!  i don’t agree with suspenders on the outside, but i do however agree with thigh highs along as everything else is relatively covered up.  also, I, much like Madonna Veronica Louise Ciccone, have bigger thighs so once i put on these stockings, i get a little muffin-toppy. :( sads.

so i think i will either go to a plus size range for these, or just cut a slit at the top back of the ones i have now.  either way, i think i will try to integrate this into my wardrobe as much as possible, before the canadian climate makes it impossible.

but with fat thighs or not, ladies, this is the only way to wear them.  unless you actually are going to be working the streets for money.

i hate kate gosselin

this is my first and only time i’m watching this show i swear.

and now i’m writing and twittering about it

i can’t help it.  kate is every mother i’ve ever hated. and that hair! for shaaaaaaame.  also, your country does not have free health care!?! and one of your kids has glasses!?!  i think that’s the fucking miracle about this

i can’t believe i am following the crowd on this one. it’s acceptance, i guess. this world is an awful place.  for every Cosmogirl that folds, a Cosmo TV and a Katy Perry grows in it’s place.   and then there’s bitches having 8 kids to take up my oxygen.  did this make sense?  who cares.  i forgot any underlying themes in paradise lost because i just watched tlc.  it’s like that episode of married with children when kelly can’t learn anything new because another fact will just leave her mind.  only any knowledge i have is just being replaced with images of kate gosselins hair.

 

goodnight

what can i say, today’s been a pretty uneventful and frustrating day for me. 

but i think we need to take a moment, put on “vauxhall and i” and remember that we are very lucky that a man named Stephen Patrick Morrissey exists.

happy birthday.

Picture 2

and given marcia’s track record, i’m sure if i saw her in person she would also offend most other senses.  surprisingly i’m not talking about her face or her dorito-tequila-puke breath.  i just can’t stop staring at that obvious grammar mistake.

your shirt is too perfect.  

although i have no free time, i’m very excited for this to finally air in canada.  if anyone knows when that will be, let me know.

Forgetting civilization

For those of you in Toronto who don’t know what The Boat is, you obviously have sophistication and class. I, however, don’t know the meaning of those. Jokes. I have seen many a shows, danced to many a french pop songs and met my wonderful fb there.
One thing I have never done here, is order food. To side track, I once ordered food-as a joke- from another amazing Toronto bar, bistro 422. Needless to say, those teenage babysitter style nachos did not sit well.

Sooooo my friends a veggie, therefore we went with the fries. Upon asking for salt, we were told “there is already salt on them”. And forks? “we don’t use those here”. Ok. Primitive, hilarious, but most importantly- expected.

I didn’t overreact because the band tonight totally sounds like the best band of all times-menswe@r. Note the AT symbol was very progressive for 1995.

Please wiki them. NOW. I would link it, but I’m clearly updating from iPhone.

So is cs3 to illustration. I’m a fashion illustrator anyways, so my strength and forte is definitely people standing still and countless attention to garment detail. However I feel I’m losing the ability to draw people in motion, and not of fashion proportion. While my adobe skills increase daily, putting a pencil to paper is often proving to be years behind my actual skill level. Sigh. This summer I plan to regain my abilities. New paper sketchbook, new lease on life.

top model iq test

May 14, 2009 by readingtowear

 

ok i’m going to get right into it.

below is a list of winners of americas next top model. * i am not counting adrianne curry, as she is THE BEST and too good to have even have been on that show.  tyra disowned her yet ironically, she is the only real model to ever grace that set.

and, much like i’m sure a forensic investigator does, i am going to list traits beside each winner and we can analyze them later

2- Yoanna House (white, former chub)

3-Eva Pigford (black, a BITCH)

4-Naima Mora (mixed, “edgy”)

5-Nicole Linkletter (white, mormon?)

6-Danielle Evans (black)

7-Caridee English (white, like REAL white)

8-Jaslene Gonzalez (hispanic, possibly mentally retarded)

9-Saleisha Stowers (black.  but mainly, HAIR)

10-Whitney THompson (white, current chub)

11-McKey Sutherland (white, edgy via a short haircut)

12-Teyona (black, boring.)

the test- who will win the next cycle?

the non-race related curve ball/sympathy vote shows up every 10th cycle, so if there is a plus sized/man/senior citizen on next one’s, i guess we know who’s not going to take it.

what recession? licca chan edition

May 13, 2009 by readingtowear

http://www.japantrendshop.com/issey-miyake-licca-doll-limted-editon-p-368.html

$120- kylie ticket (floor seats, bitches)

$130 – phone bill (i have long distance, ok?)

so i don’t really know how i’m going to ever afford my new favourite licca chan.  anyone need anything altered? made? designed? i really need this doll.

i think i’m still at an age where my small, yet expensive and “cultured” pop icon doll collection can still reside on my bedroom shelves (and i can still have a real boy come into my room and want to have sex with me).

i only own one other Licca, Rough Trade Licca, or “street licca” to north americans. ok, i know this is totally a post about DOLLS, but seriously.  this rough trade licca was released in the mid 90’s, when i believe rough trade records had some sort of a comeback/revival type thing.  the limited edition doll came with an RT backpack, filled with actual miniature 7″ from the likes of spearmint, ursula 1000 and the gants.  she wore cons, with grey leather cargo pants, a pink colour blocked hoody and and of course a platinum blonde bob.  she cost me $75 USD and she is the love of my life.

licca chan

explanations

April 16, 2009 by readingtowear

well, not really.  my business is my business, which is totally why i have a public blog.  i will admit to the flu, and thankfullly it’s not tb/sars/aids as previously thought.  anyways, i’m better and ready to terrorize the internet yet again.

 

but only with the MOST mundane things i can find.

more soft drinks

so i went to T&T supermarket today for lunch, and instead of picking up some tasty pocari sweat (no, no. i don’t.  but i like to sound relevant to vice.  you’re cool, homer simpson) i decided to pick up that. apparently this drink is magical and thats why it was like $3.   it gives you these weird instructions as you pop in the cap, a marble descends into the bottle, and the company reccommends you keep it as a vase.  the melon soda inside is QUITE delicious, however this magic marble juice does not have a cap, so you better be very thirsty because you’re not saving that shit for later.

 

in other news, the weather is finally to my liking and although i do not own a deck, patio or even a stoop, i have planned to spend the entire summer outdoors.  when i’m not working or doing my line.

speaking of which, i have some great ideas for shoots this summer and if anyone wants to participate (unpaid, but booze galore), please let me know.

 

so after 3 weeks of nothing, this is all i have to say.  i’m still a bit drugged up but i’m sure this thing will get updated very soon.

 

sorry :(
