HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!!!

lil bit scruffy

dice shirt- swiped from 99 after he bought it at buffalo exchange then realized it was too small

skirt- american apparel

not much to say. was hot, so i tried to keep it cool.

oh no tequila

blue t shirt dress-old navy
satin two-tone heels- steve madden via sound feet or barefeet or some other awesome shoe store with a boring name (rampant in philadelphia)
clutch- sparkly floral gift from my sarah b.

so my oyster house temperance gave way four hours later to some free tequila and a handful of boilers at the cantina where i was persuaded to go after being in a foul mood at skeevy lanlord mcgee and also to celebrate getting all my student loans from the guhvment instead of having to sell myself to that bitch sallie mae. anyway, the oysters were good, my dress was blue, the cantina company was FABULOUS and last night turned out okay.

11th Grade Literature that I CAN NOT LET GO OF

I was reading my bloggie blogs tonight when I came across Loveship and Susie was talking about Marina Abramovic whose recent work was a 3 month long performance at MoMA, Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present.

It appears she sat in front of a table and as a visitor you could sit across from her. They have portraits of every visitor who took the second chair and the amount of time spent across from Marina. Then I saw this GEM of a picture and Q: what imagine did it conjure up?

A: If you answered William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" you are correct! The only thing missing a pillow with a “long strand of iron-gray hair.” Poor Homer Barron.

full moon, rose and details

so i finished the name of the rose (although, come to think of it, i haven't really sorted out the title) which left me bookless on the train. I had some time to peoplewatch, and man, was it good. I had the closing shift at work on a full moon saturday. a 10 o'clock train to south philadelphia yielded the following amazing outfit details (with one exception from today):


clockwise from top left-
1. acid green rhinestone covered big toe
2. pink halter top with black and cream bra straps
3. big ass gem earrings that totally blinded onlookers from a truly hideous tank dress
4. Disney Princess luggage tote being wheeled by ancient asian man who i'm pretty sure was also wearing a 'mature woman's' cotton hawaiian print top
5. brave lil' sunflower sarah bought at the urban jungle after pope brunch
6. drunk, loud, frat boy with a solo cup and a wristband who said the usual banal things about pussy and beer BUT WAS WEARING CAT FACE PAINT
7. truly excellent ruffle sleeves on a khaki colored dress that i wish would migrate to my closet (or suitcase, as the case may be)

A more subtle look for my eyes.

Ignore how my nice camera makes my pores the size of craters. And my hair.

I used NYX Geisha, NYX Milk Jumbo Eye pencil, NYX Rocky Mountain Green Jumbo Eye Pencil and a smudge of NYX Green Candy Glitter Liner.

Make Up Geek

Lately I have had a lot of interest in learning different ways to do my make up. At my hairdresser's suggestion I checked out the multitude of blogs and Youtube videos dedicated to makeup. I came across Makeup Geek who has her own store where you can buy products she uses as well as samples of some of the more expensive stuff. I bought some of the Ben Nye pigment samples to try this Hawaiian look. Yep, its a work in progress. I definitely need some more practice.

This or That

Oh Joy has a category This or That. The problem is always This is amazing and That is equally kick butt. So its choosing the better of the two fashionables. The above has been one of my favorites from this summer. What if you were faced with an obvious choice? And with that I'm off for a burrito!

Living In: Debbie Does Dallas

Are you a fan of Design*Sponge blog? Yeah, so am I. I am a big fan of their category "Living In." They take a movie and show current items you can purchase based on either actual or inspired items from the movie. Now one complaint is you get a lot of victorian movies, the last few being Young Vicoria, Girl with the Pearl Earring, Pride and Prejedice and Picnic at Hanging Rock. Though I was a HUGE fan of Sixteen Candles, Frida and of course sent the Jaws one to Kathleen as a reminder to The Summer of Sharks. I thought I'd try my own spin at Living In, and pay homage to the golden age of porn.

Show me your teeth.

"Don't be scared. I've done this before. Show me your teeth. Show me your teeth!"

So since I got the full Lady Gaga album months ago I am pretty much in love with ALL of the songs. Such a rarity. One of her songs, Teeth, has a constant line of "Shoe me your teeth." Well since it is Lady Gaga I used to think about Vagina Dentata, which is latin for toothed vagina. There is even a movie, Teeth, about a girl who has vagina dentata. After attending the amazingly entertaing Lady Gaga show last week I learned that she is referring to when you are angery and you kinda growl with your [mouth] lips up and show your teeth. In my mind I still like to thing this song is about vagina dentata.
