A Little Dose Of WonderGirl

I recently styled, make-upped, haired, and shot some senior photos for my friend Margo. I think they turned out really well.

All the photos were shot with a Nikon D-40 and edited on Photo Impression.
Make-up used was M.A.C. and Urban Decay
The locations were a parking tower and two abandoned warehouses.

These are the ones she printed, but I have a few of my personal favorites as well.

Oh Travesty!

So today at work, while lifeguarding, an hairy older man walked in with his little son. The man was wearing brown crocs and khaki cargo shorts that were shorter than any male should ever wear. He then removed then to reveal a lavender speedo. His son swam in the corner, alone...

I Random Moment A Few Months Back...

Colored Skinny Jeans Make Everyone Look Fat - So Make Them Yourself

So, Timmy, what did you do this Sunday?
Did you go to church? No.
Did you lifeguard? No.
I Made Colored Skinny Jeans!

So, like the rest of the world, I was going to shell my hard earned cash on these:

[in Raspberry]
or perhaps these, or these :

[all $48.00 at Angry Young and Poor]

Or god forbid, even these hundred and something dollar April77's:

But then I thought...

Gosh, you freak, why spend all that money on something you know you can make yourself.

You'z got skillz , Guh'!

So I Did!

Here's How:

What You'll Need:

• An old pair of jeans
• A pair of skinny jeans that you already have, and fit you well
• sewing machine
• a marker
• pins
• colored dye [and whatever is required to use that dye]

First

Turn your old jeans inside out. Lay them flat and place the skinny jeans on top of them.

Line them up at the pointy butt part.

Also make sure to line the cuffs up at the front of the jeans.

Next

Trace a line on the top leg of the old jeans where the skinny jeans are, all the way up to the top.

Lift up the top leg and trace the same line on the bottom leg all the way up.

Pin along both lines.

Then

Sew along both lines. After you sew, try on the pants to make sure they fit well enough. If they fit well , trim the excess fabric .

[this picture was taken after I dyed them]

Now The Fun Part

Dye the pants according to the directions of the dye you buy. I used RIT dye in "Wine".

If your dye has the option of stove top dyeing, I recommend doing that instead of sink or washing machine dyeing. Also since denim is a very heavy fabric I recommend leaving the jeans in the dye a little longer than the directions say. I left mine in for a little over an hour.

Also, after you're done dyeing and washing the jeans, put them in the dryer twice to seal in the

color.

SHIZZAM!

All it should cost you is a bottle of dye and a Sunday afternoon.

If You Thought They Wore Nice Shoes...

An Undeniable Thrist To Pick Winkles

Winklepickers are a cruel mistress. They make your life Grimm and Horror-able. But before I dive deep into the underworld that is obscure footwear, let me give you the back story of my madness.

Ladies and Bloggers, may I direct your attention to : Joshua Von Grimm

[a.k.a. Joshua Third]

• Guitarist for The Horrors
• My new band boy crush
• Beautiful
• Wonderful taste in clothes, and especially, foot wear

So if you couldn't figure it out, I have this bad habit of dressing like the adorable guylinered, tight pants wearing, band boys that I have silly little girl crushes on.

[Hehe]

Enter exhibit B : The Horrors feet

As you can see, they are all clad in an array of stunning Winklepickers. Mr. Von Grimm in particular is sporting his infamous pair of white Chelsea boots, most likely purchased from Atomic Retro. But buying those isn't good enough for me, because, you see, the most astounding Gerard Way also sported a lovely pair of winklepickers :

So what did i come up with? Well since you asked...

I decided to go on a brave quest in search of white winklepicker boots with buckles and a zipper. My quest was long and hard. I searched through miles of eBay pages and shoe sites, only to come up empty handed! I was determined to have not just any ordinary winklepicker, they MUST be white!

Then alas! One night while hunting in the wicked forest that is Google Search I found these:

True,true, they are shown in black, but fear not young bloggers, for I can get them specially made in white leather! Oh Happy Day! So now I must sell my poor drum kit [which I never played anyway. Shame.] to get the money to buy these beauties. As I said before winklepickers are a cruel mistress, a cruel £ 57.9 [$115.33] mistress. But I guess it worth it because ....
