I smashed up the grey one, bought me a red . . .

taking a break from my using my faithful Lumix

and its FUCKING SELF TIMER

feels great.

Just one night of not running back and forth

between my standby camera perch on the corner of my toaster oven

that's stacked on top on my microwave

and my usual "outfit" spot in my micro NYC apartment.

resetting the timer

and resetting the timer

and watching my cats knock the camera down

and forgetting to turn off the flash.

I can do without it for one night.

that's one of my catboys

Stinky.

as you can see he hasn't been brushed in a while

his fur is starting to dread

or look like chicken feathers

I've probably only worn the Dolce Vita Hamilton wedges about 5 times

I was getting down on myself for not wearing them more this summer

but I think they really are a wonderful Fall/Winter wedge

I wore them with some cable knit tights from HUE.

*a fact about Mayk*

I have extremely small hands

I can't even palm a volleyball

I had two people at work ask me if my dress was a knockoff of a Louis Vuitton dress

"What."

Actually it's from Forever21

and I bought it so I could . . .

A.) eat a shitload of food at my birthday and not have a visible food baby

B.) be able to drink tons and spill drunkenly with no visible stains.

and then Andy - my other cat

decided to come and dance with me

so we did . . . .

listening to "beauty" - refused

don't be actin all snoody n shit.

and another round of mucinex comes my way . . . 

maybe that's why I've been wearing this blazer every day this week

my head just feels too bloated and swollen to put anything else together.

and my neck stopped working yesterday

except

WHOA.

I must REALLY BE SICK

I wore a RUFFLED SKIRT

of course it had to be black

If I'm going to concede to ruffles - they will be BLACK RUFFLES.

the skirt kept riding up as I ran around the office

luckily my New York & Company leggings were opaque enough

but I felt uncomfortable toeing the "legging-as-pants" border

As always, Docs make for the perfect rainboot

and the CEO of our company gave me his seal-of-approval

we seem to be on similar footwear wavelengths

now if our designers could just sneak a couple sky-high heels into our retail stores

I'd be set

When this Gap blazer went on clearance - I missed out.

Thank you eBay

I guess eBay and I are resolving our differences.

I busted out my Miu Miu bow satchel a few weeks ago

it's amazing how some handbag designs can be so timeless 

yet maintain a freshness that makes people stop and say

"WHOA"

"I LOVE THAT"

"WHERE CAN I GET IT?"

I stopped into New York & Company on the way home

they were running a B1G150 on all tops

So I bought a couple back-ups of my beloved tank dress

long enough to be a dress but the SKU classifies it as a TUNIC

therefore

B1G150% OFF

gyeah mafuckah

I also bought a freaking SNOOD

I hate the word SNOOD

luckily NY&Co calls it an oversized cowl. 

it came out to about $9

WIN.

crotch poison. whaaaaaaaaa?

It's the dress known as "crotch poison" or literally "hey there's a snake threatening your vagina". 

I don't wear my current Diane von Furstenburg dresses often enough to warrant buying a NEW one. 

Seeing as how I have to force myself into dresses or BE FORCED to wear them due to scabbing healing tattoos  . . . 

 . . . a new dress is pointless.

BUT . . . 

 . . . this is the DVF "Eve" Dress

Crotch Poison as it's called by my girls at fashionism.org

And when the girls on fashionism pointed me to a discounted eBay listing 

where the infamous Eve was going for a BIN price of $150 . . .

 Fuck it. I HAD TO.

what the hell.

I can always sell it if I don't wear it. 

The mix of black and navy in the print makes it go with everything. 

The awesome gold-ness of the snake fits with gold jewelry.

"Did  anyone ever tell you that snake by your crotch brings out your eyes?

instant love.

oh, do you want to hear what was said to me at a bar last night?

"You have the eyes of the devil . . . ."

I thought I was being insulted.

Then when I realized the guy wasn't going anywhere - I realized I had just been served one of the creepiest pick up lines in recent memory. 

What was I supposed to say?

"Thanks"

"Oh really? It's NARS!!"

"Yeah, I try . . . .to look like Satan. I'm so glad you noticed. I'm obviously meant to be the mother of your children"

Then the DJ threw on some Lucy Pearl. 

And all was right in the world.

the reputation

You're always so sick of me 

yeah you tell me all the time 

but if I'm selfish and hateful 

you're lazy ungrateful 

can't you see where this always heads 
it's exhausting us both now 

always so pissy and proud 
if we could just let this rest

it'd get better in time I promise 

spiteful and bored I guess 

but I want you to know 

that I like what you do for me 

all the times we get on fine 

to me all those good nights 

mean more than these drunk fights 

haven't you learned how they always end 

you're resentful and lonely 

and blaming me only 
if we could just waste a little less time 

toasting our grudges every night 

it'd save us the best years of our lives 

so I'm letting it go.
