gumby hair

yep. definitely gumby hair.

this outfit was good for me. it wasn't much to look at in hindsight, but i got ready in about 15 minutes with a precious few items in only a few moments and wasn't worried about matching or not, or whether or not i would be comfortable. it felt good to just pull some things from my closet and wear them with ease. this didn't photograph well and my hair was all kinds of effed up, but it was like running errands in my pajamas. i didn't even want to change when i got home. that's saying A LOT. clearly, i need to find more items that give me that feeling. getting dressed would be so much EASIER. took it very, VERY easy today and tomorrow, LEASE SIGNING. i'm alternately super-stoked and horrified, at the prospect of new adventures and packing, respectively. anyway, i'm off to bed. it's been a long day of...laziness. productivity tomorrow. the most productive thing i did today was this:

and rinsing honey out of my hair. oh, and defending my sexuality. again. weird.
any big plans for the weekend? i feel like my life is slipping away; all i do is dream about textbooks and exams! ergo, i must live vicariously through you darlings who visit and read. hope all's well out there.

atypical

been awol...test after test after test have wreaked sheer havoc on my mental state. i was super fly yesterday tho. :). unfortunately, i also ran out with my camera sans memory stick, so....no photos of that. to keep this thing moving, i decided to show y'all some pics of a wedding i went to. i got made up and wore pumps and a frothy pink dress. so un-me.

bb shots.


note how boobalicious my friend is. yeah, upon hearing that, one automatically looks at the other boobs in the picture. in this case, they are nonexistent. couldn't find appropriate undergarments to counteract that effect. and it was hella hot. braless steez. fuck yeah, women's lib.

my friend did my makeup for this. i think she's trying to turn me into a girl. she made me wear this instead of the black dress i had. there were a lot of scandalous broads at this wedding. i mean, honestly, you're in a CHURCH. a place of WORSHIP. i know there are probably tons of single men there, but one ought not to wear a backless scrap of spandex to a religious function. just...ghetto. i had a whole rant about this after a shot of vodka outside the church<----hypocrite?

i drink guinness like an irishman.
this boy keeps me in stitches. we used to be such good friends. then life took over and he moved away and i find myself a little out of sorts and one friend short. boohoo.
so...how do you guys feel about glassess-lessness (totally goes with the boobalicious and braless theme, and general improper grammar in this post)? i look chinkyyyyyyy. but it was nice to not have to wipe whatever mysterious film had gathered on my glasses(againnnn!) for that moment. i'm going to try contacts again, swear. i was blurry as hell for this shot. it's k. i just smiled at the flash. :D.

dress: calvin klein
shoes: sigerson morrison. i broke the tap and had to switch to my lavender flats. way more comfy for dancing. HA backless-spandex-stiletto wearing slags!


are you guys coping with this week better than i am? someone i was beginning to admire made a pass at me yesterday. it threw me for a loop, completely confused me, flattered me, and then the mortification set in. what do i do now? ignore this person? i mean...i shut it down and humiliated them. so....is that another friend lost or can we look beyond our (asexual/platonic) differences and continue down our path to friendship? i need help. cuz this doesn't happen to me. i mean, i got called stuck up this week. more on that later.

k, back to the slaveship with me. hope someone is still reading...happy tuesday!

doing a bit of shopping. worn the day i picked up my new shearling boots. which the weather will not permit me to wear just yet. deposited the leather boots i already had at the cobbler as per alicia's (persistent/genius) suggestion.
has been a very busy week and will be a busy weekend. same goes for monday/tuesday. only now getting home from work and listing a couple items on ebay. i think i'm now addicted to 'growing' my money. heh. still fantasizing about thigh high boots. gotta wait 2 weeks for the others. depending on the outcome, will pursue the no. 6's. so yummy.
been tacking things onto my inspiration folder lately.
please peruse the following as there seems to be a common thread:

yep. i'm really a dude.

stopping to smell the flowers...literally

a recent jaunt to the bronx botanical gardens proved tiresome. i wasn't feeling it and i'm not really a plant enthusiast (i know there's a better word for this....sorry), but i was coerced.
some shots of the day:




this scary guy flew over my head with a chipmunk in his claws...and promptly dug in. i'm not big on flowers, but gimme a discovery channel cameo any day and i'm happy.





best part of the day was meeting my niece. she's a handful.


battle of wits...

...she won.

punk. till next we meet on the battlefield...
oh, yeah, meet my mom.

in panic mode. first exams coming up. not enough time to study. having horrifying flashbacks of bad school days...pray for me. light a candle. cross your fingers/toes/legs/eyes/anything you can. send vibes. anything. i'll need it come thursday. off to anxiously bite my fingers and attempt to function on insufficient sleep.

talk soon, dear friends!

been getting some excellent sartorial advice from pretaporterp on trying to dress myself. feels like toddling about with no clue where to turn, lol. going to be spending a lot of time in fitting rooms, it seems, as things that used to look great, now look....less than.....and with the changes i'll be going through in coming months, i need the sort of wardrobe that allows me to just grab and go. no thought. no process. no trying to force all the various shades in my wardrobe to go together. i may be able to work the learning experience into the dailies. if anyone gives a crap.
super tired. work. school. other work. life....it's a little exhausting.
i did really enjoy this look. felt very confident here despite being with a rather 'tough' crowd today. it was nice to be comfortable, feel comfortable, enjoy the day without constant pulling, tucking, tweaking, staring sort of uncomfortably at my outfit. i didn't iron a damn thing. i left, wrinkles and all, and didn't worry about it. i like those days. those days of just feeling good. you ever have those?

oh, and those shoes up there? i'm sprung.
