YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE

Did yet another GoodWill haul before I leave, and can safely say I am satisfied (although will probably still go again before I head back to Europe). I swear that if I bought the exact same things I got today in any Dublin vintage stores it would be AT LEAST just over 70 euro, and considering that everything I got today cost a grand (not-so-grand) total of 19 dollars, I'm a pretty happy ladeeeeee. Purchases were as follows;

lace up ankle boots - three dollah y'all! Which means I won't feel guilty when I attack them with my freshly delivered order of studs...

black Levi's jeans - to be cut, durr.

blue Levi's mom shorts - to be cut, double durr.

Ralph Lauren Men's plaid shirt - just an oversized version of the one I got in the exact same GoodWill last year, basically what I wear when I'm not very enthused...

I realize how lame this picture looks now... but it was the only picture where I didn't have club feet or that the shoezzz weren't shrouded in a shadow of doom, so deal with it. Plus, OH EMMM GEEEE, look at my guitar, I'm so cool etc. etc. :)

This outfit is nothing special, my family and I just headed out for my sister's birthday, we went to see INCEPTION, which was pretty amazing, but it wasn't as crazy confusing as everyone was saying. Personally my fav. bit about it was how the fog-horn-y sounding music throughout the movie was actually Edith Piaf's "Non, je ne regrette rien" slowed down a couple hundered times, something that I enjoy geeking out about, then again, I just enjoy geeking out in general...

And speaking of that check out this. It's Justin Bieber's "U smile" slowed down 800%, personally whenever a song uses text speak in it (e.g. Avril Lavigne's GOLDEN hit, "Sk8r Boi") I generally try to avoid it, but this 36-minute form of BIEBER FEVER is just like one big epic event getting all up in your ears, jus sayin, that shit just got real...

BACKLOG MEGAMIXXX

Apologies for being a bad, bad, bad, blogger, and not being very, um... punctual? Anyways, I've developed this insane backlog of vain little photo-booth sessionz that I had planned to share with you on separate blogging occasions, but because I am such a shit/smelly/inconsistent blogger, I am presenting them to you in this super-amazing-mind-blowing MEGAMIXXX Y'ALL...

//FIRSTLY//

Thanks to a Christmas money fueled Wallmart shop, I made my own necklace. Just bought a packet of coloured feathers and hot glued them to a piece of black felt, then glued them to a spare chain I had. Pretty sweet, non? It reminds me of like Zelda or something. Anyways, I let my sister wear it out to dinner, and I wore it the next day, so by now like literally all the feathers except the two orange ones have broken in half. What a bummer, so easy to just keep replacing them though...

//SECONDLY//

I'm confused, blatantly.

Got a new red lipstick, this one is super bright, so I think I'll be wearing this more in the day than my other deeper red one. It's from the new Maybelline line of the pigment stuff, I bought the matching lip liner as well, just cos I'd never used liner before and I wanted to see if it made a difference. The only difference it does is making me feel like a Mexican Lolita before I put the lipstick on!

I also went into this hippie store the other day, came out with this sweet 'healing' necklace, I just got it because it's cool quartzite, I think you can just see it in the first pictue. I don't really believe in the 'powers' or whatevssss, but here's what it says on the back anyway, and I quote...

"This stone has strong mystical powers of healing and is excellent for unblocking negative energy. A deep soul cleanser, energy amplifier, enhancing physic abilities (yada yadaaa)

Use this gemstone as it has been used in ages past to aid you in focusing on your dreams and goals"

Oh Lolza.

//THIRDLY//

Went to see Avatar in 3d today, it was pretty sweet, although the two guys in-front of us smelled SO badly of weed! My mum even said, "Does someone smell skunk?", like literally meaning the animal, no slang, just a small critter, it was funny at the time... anyways, just wanted a chance to show off my new Docs, although it isn't great quality, I was wearing these white socks poking up above them as well. I think the next picture is a bit Lady Gagz remeniscent, no? The crotch shot TOTES is, wot? wot?

//LASTLY//

New year's resolution, you ask?

Trying to learn to do my eye make-up like this babe at chicheroin

CROOKED CROWN

Finally finished my driver's ed. today (thank God) so Mum and I went to the Mint Museum in Charlotte to check out this temporary exhibition, "The Art of Afluence: Haute Couture" which was basically a bunch of dresses donated, must were from the eighties so it was pretty lol-tastic to see the Versace 'night-dress' inspired gown etc. There was actually a Balenciaga suit donated by Hubert De Givenchy though, thought that was pretty cool.

The exhibition was kind of mediocre though, it was only one room and there was this lady in khaki pants explaining every outfit and why she didn't like to an eight year old, that commentary was pretty worth it. My favourite quote was, "See how the blouse has a puffed sleeve? Now I don't think that works well. Have you ever heard this phrase before? See, she's not wearing the blouse, the blouse is wearing her..." the 'her' was a headless mannequin, so I don't think it really had the emmmm, personalit

y (?) to 'wear' the clothes. I'm pretty sure this was in reference to a John Galliano white blouse.

But the best part in my opinion was the gift shop, Mom and I were trying on all these wierd half-face-masks and I was so tempted to buy loads for some photo props, ha! In the end I found this toy crown, I love it! I was wearing it all day, and it kind of got me in the mood to write a song, so now I've deemed it as my thinking cap!

Wearing it made me feel like Max from Where The Wild Things Are, now all I need is a catsuit, and not the Pam Hogg type...

I'm actually so excited for Where The Wild Things Are words cannot describe. I've watched the trailer at least five times on youtube, and once right before seeing Harry Potter 6, and every single time, I've cried. It might be because the song is Wake Up by Arcade Fire, and that's just like this unbelievable epic/euphoric song, I was trying to explain to my parents how certain songs make you feel um, 'infinite' (Perks of Being a Wallflower, duh) and they both just thought I was really inarticulate/crazy.

Anyways.... Karen O is doing the score for the entire movie as well, so it's ozzzley going to be unbelievable, also the wonderful Spike Jonze is directing it. So I think I can come to the conclusion that this is my dream movie.

That is all.
