Two days ago…

It was 65-70 degrees outside and now it’s 33. Welcome to Missouri. *shiver*
I would say it’s been a busy week and that’s why I haven’t posted, but it’s not true. I just didn’t have a very good week, so I didn’t feel like posting.
This is an interesting article (found via Electric Warrior). I do have [...]

I totally lied.

The Coraline website is awesome. Go check it out. Something I didn’t actually know that adds to my love of the movie even more is that everything in it is handmade.
I especially found this video fascinating (from the website, of course).

There are also hidden wallpapers and posters, which are totally worth downloading (I’m getting ready [...]

Firefly Fashion

Geekiest post to ever grace a mostly-fashion blog? Quite possibly!
Among the many many wonderful things about Firefly, the wardrobes and costuming are definitely to be counted. Each crew member has a relatively specific style that’s fairly consistent throughout the series. And they are something to behold! Partially out of laziness, and partially because the men’s [...]

You’d be so pretty if…

you smiled!
lost 20 pounds!
didn’t have that short hair!
or it wasn’t dyed purple!
didn’t have tattoos/piercings! Why would a girl as pretty as you DO that to yourself, anyways?
Maybe because it is MY body, not public freakin’ property, and I will do whatever the hell I please with it. Maybe because I don’t, actually, spend every waking [...]

Pretty Polish folk art!

I want this dress:
Actually, I don’t really want the dress so much. I’d probably be better off getting this top and skirt, so that I could actually wear a bra with it.
*drool*

I really, really…

wanted to like this commercial for MAC for Hello Kitty. And expected to! But I’m sorry, a grown woman (I *think* she’s grown, although, of course, really skinny) wearing that dress is just…disturbing.

I think that’s what people think of when they think of Lolita fashion, and it understandably skeeves them out. (am I the only [...]

oh shoe gods…

why do you mock me so?!
Those of you who have been reading a while will remember the Bronx Gillian boots I lusted after so, only to get extremely close to getting them for $75 (retail is $175+) and then the seller told me they’d been water damaged. SIGH. Today, whilst browsing the archives of Haute [...]

Things I Love Thursday

-…is anyone surprised that…Coraline! is on this list. Possibly the second week in a row but I honestly can’t remember and I’m way too lazy to check.
-I got a job! Working for the MDA, which at least will give me warm fuzzies while dealing with people over the phone.
-The bread from the bakery in grocery [...]

Wishful thinking…

I have a wishlist about as long as my arm right now. Too bad my tax refund has to go to silly things like rent and bills, hmm?
Let’s start with hats:
LOVE that hat. Don’t know how often I’d wear it, although I’m pretty sure if I had it I’d make an occasion to do so [...]

One more post about…

Coraline!
I went and saw it again with my sister last Friday and have decided that I want need the soundtrack. The film is indeed very good, so I decided to pick the book up (kid’s books are so cheap, I wish all of my books only cost $6) and…holy crap. They actually watered down the [...]
