LIAR

so that shopping hiatus didn't really last long.

I think I'm going through a mid life crisis. I went out and bought leather pants and dyed my hair blue. It really looks black but there are small streaks of blue in the bottom back where I bleached it out. I need to bleach it more. I don't think most people do that for a mid life crisis. Perhaps I need a sports car?

Anyways I hung out with my sole mate - Tam and we went to the Nanette Lepore store, Saks Fifth Avenue and Loehmanns. I scored some kool digs like a black Rebecca Minkoff knot dress for $124 (normally $300) and leather pants - Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti for $140 (normally $1000). It was fun, my credit card hates or loves me. My bank account hates me. I've decided whatever preconcieved notions I had about being an adult and getting old are just that. I need to seize the day and enjoy life as it is right now. Look great, wear kick ass clothes, take trips and be with the ones I love. If you only have one life, better enjoy, right?

So I'm going to step it up a notch, I mean I can't wear 5 inch heels when I'm 60. or can I?

Shoe hiatus - honest engine!!

yeah so I ended the year helping the economy. I know .. I know, I'm so freakin thoughtful, trying to save the world and all but it's hard to be me.

the presssure, stress... blaa blaa.

anyways I've rewarded myself with a couple of shoes... (I know.. shocker). They are kinda my last 'supper' shoes because I'm going to see if I can NOT buy shoes, clothes or accessories until my birthday. Maybe I will start with a realistic goal like a month then move it up to 2 or 3. PLUS the rule is I can't spend any money - cash or credit cards. But I CAN use gift cards - so it's not like I'm going to go completely without.

I decided since the world is ending (for a little bit) and I'm trying to be good - that I would buy some funky shoes to brighten up my days. So I opted for the below - Zombie Stomper shoes by ironfistclothing.com, regular version are colorful, the other black and white type version GLOW IN THE DARK, and I also got platform pumps with cartoon guts and gore on them (not shown). If I can abstain from buying items for three months then it would balance the three shoes. Isn't three supposed to be a lucky number? :)

no habla espanol, motherlicker!

I'm in a bit of a quandry, seems that being multiethnic has many perks:
kick ass food
funky name
fun possible places to visit
did I mention food? mmm......
exotic looks

It's the last item which is delightful but can be problematic. For instance, say a person looked latina but was not. Imagine the frustration, if you will, of getting asked or spoken to in spanish once a week almost everyweek of your adult life? Imagine again, if you went to latin restuarants and people thinking you are the same ethnic group, saw you with a 'foreigner' and gave you the 'she thinks she's better than us' stink eye. Perhaps making you wait longer or ignoring you... How about being hit on all the damn time by that same group? Which the 'said person' wouldn't mind if they were hotties.... but nay. I get all the 4'2" motherlickers....

NAY, I say.

I guess the most annoying part is when I say that I'm not latin, and identify my ethnicity and people still ask me if I'm sure. I mean, what the F! Are you inquiring if my mother was a whore? hmmm... That I'm an orphaned vagabond that never met my parents? These are the moments I wish I could slap people. I think it would be justified.

the end.

shop-a-holic

Some people have a problem. I have a gift that is also a curse. I get really really good deals. So while I will openly admit my penchant for shopping, it's the discounts that are my biggest downfall. Take my latest conquest for instance:



My evil bestie (she's not evil but we are trouble together) informed me of a super sale at Leifsdottir - kick ass brand from Anthropologie. As I reviewed the sale section I was taken by a number of lovely items at stellar prices. So much in fact that I spent a small fortune. But if I paid full price it would've been $1260+. I know I know.. it's a lot of money, but we are talking a nearly 70% savings. It would've been a 75% savings if I didn't get that damn jacket... but it's sooooo pretty.

I'm going to hide the credit cards and rationalize buying groceries..... but I will look great!

TMM's.....

What happens when you have 75 guests celebrating a 3 year old's birthday, alcohol, a baby's mama, a baby's daddy and mama's new boyfriend? Did I mention a hellalotta alcohol? Oh... and Ohio. You don't need to be Einstein to know that no good can come of this. NO GOOD, I say!!

Anyways to see Darwinism at work, and check out the pimp ass outfit on the school janitor (see pic below)- go to the link below. That shit is DOPE... seriously, how much is that guy getting paid?!  Janitors at my school wore uniforms or look busted.  This dude got the same outfit he wore on Friday night.  

And riddle me this... how the hell did this guy's shirt come off? I mean did he do a 'Hulk freak out' or something.

Marc Jacobs has a clown fetish

really...... I've been a follower of his work. I know he had a penchant for doing coke with his ex-husband, getting naked and doing benchpress(es). I can't even try to rationalize that but... seriously, now that you know... pay closer attention and you will realize he has some kind of deranged fetish with clowns. Case in point:

um hmmm..you need a stylist

Okay, even though I've sworn off all voluntary actions, I feel inclined to help the needy.

Often times I see people in dire need of advice, people crying out for attention, friendless or perhaps vampires (can't see themselves in mirrors) because that is the only explaination for some of the really really bad fashion I see on the streets.

Friends don't let friends embarass the shit out of you in public.

Case in point... this gentlemen above, I'm sure he's a very nice person, and I 'get' the look he was going for. However, it would've looked alot nicer if the sweater vest was less fitted and if he wore bigger pants. Not to mention he had a longer torso, his proportions are off and the look did nothing for him. He was walking with female co-workers to lunch... in public. You'd think his mommy or someone could have pulled him aside and told him not to wear that outfit. I felt sad and really wanted to talk to him, but alas, since I cherish my safety and was pretty damn hungry myself, I let this pass.
