Make History

Now that its finally December, the Christmas themed parties are in full force! Last Friday, I wore this to a friends party titled "Santa Bros and Ho Ho Hos". Not a huge fan of the name (women aren't always hoes!), but the party was a really good time anyways. I'll take basically any excuse to dress up! Also, classes for the semester are over already and exams are in full force next week. Wish me luck, friends!

Dudes, I made another painfully akward video blog! Watch it on youtube or here.

Apparently I am quite prone to saying 'you know' when I talk to myself.





(Bridez, skull, Joy Division, skull, eye)
Also, you can watch my oher video blogs here, here and here.

Decent Pay

Taking a good picture was just not happening this morning - first the camera ran out of batteries, then I accidentally knocked over the tripod, then when I actually took a picture I ended up looking like some windswept tool with a goofy grin. But what the hey, I am a bit of a goofy tool, and at least you can see the sequin/lace detail on my outer shirt better then you could the last time!

I look like a total student from the waist down and a tranny hooker from the waist up. Just keeping it casual, y'know?

This is probably the most badass tattoo I have ever seen. I'd rather just wear my Joy Division shirt though...

This Charming Man

So, I don't really know if the 90s grunge revival is considered 'not trendy' anymore or whatever but I continue to be inspired by it on a daily basis. I love me some visual mess, Nirvana, Angela Chase and Morrisey. Honest.

Christmas is coming early...

OH FATE GODS, YOU SMILE UPON ME

Are you serious? Is American Apparel actually opening a new location a five minute walk from my apartment? PLEASE PINCH ME. No, even better. PLEASE HIRE ME. I am seriously considering attaching this picture to the back of my resume. I know what job I'm aiming for this summer...

This is probably not a big deal for anyone who lives in a major city centre, but I am a hick and the the closest American Apparel location has always been at least one hour away.

If you can't stand by me, don't stand in my way.

This outfit feels very Sub Pop circa 1992 to me. I know that buffalo plaid is pretty much the lamest thing ever (except in this instance), but flannel is warm and I am chilly! Plus, these pants have miraculously managed to pick up a new stain every time I wear them, which just makes me feel that much more gruuuunge.

Long live the Croc Docs! (Cuffed pants + Doc Martens = skinhead? Here's hoping that formula doesn't apply. I never really like reggae music anyways...)


The white ribbon pin was attached to the shirt when I thrifted it last winter. Then I went home and learned that white ribbons are symbolic of the 'End Violence Against Women' campaign, which is really fitting for me since I am a feminist and all...

Baby Sister

I pulled out this batwing cape from Babooshka Boutique for the first time in a while. Admittedly, I kind of hated its bizarre proportions at first but the entire concept of crop tops is starting to grow on me. When crops tops first started to show up again (thanks to Alexander Wang, I believe?) they reminded me of those tacky awful shirts that Baby Spice used to wear - and they still do when the look is done wrong. Personally, I'd much rather take my crop top inspiration from Fubar, rather than fashion. Fuckin' eh!

Panic

It's starting to get chilly out there! Finally, its time to start wearing the Yokoo-inspired cowl that I knitted myself, my favourite purple toque and wolf sweater of epic-ness just about everywhere. My mother and I once had a friendly debate over whether it was a wolf or an Alaskan Malamute on my sweater. What do you think?

Also, I've been succumbing to the pop culture phenomenon known as Glee. I've caught up to all the episodes in two days. I would be guilty, but its so much fun! Plus, I have a crush on Mr Schuster and I love Kurt's fashion references.

Dreary Days

I want freedom.

I want to read a blog where the author draws their daily outfits.

I want to time travel back to the Jazz Age.

I want these tights.

Sometimes Always

Today is a pretty crap day, which suits me fine because I have to stay inside working on a paper all day anyways. I really love this Lolita meets Wednesday Addams dress that I bought in Toronto with Mary - it doesn't get nearly the wear it deserves. Same with these wicked tie-dye leggings. I guess that's what compulsive shopping does to you. I have zero closet space left but that does nothing to stop my drive to acquire cheap and cheerful garments. In other news, I found this random free mp3 website where I downloaded a shitload of Jesus and Mary Chain and Millions of Dead Cops. I've basically been listening to that nonstop lately and it is excellent.
