Teenage Mutant Ninja... Poodle

Its things like this that amuse me while I should be studying for my Irish Literature Exam.

Study Attire

From Vogue April '09
I have been pretty much living in something similiar, except I dont hang around lamp-posts and street corners wearing it.

Im a creep, Im a weirdo

Influenced by my stylish friend Rhys, I have come to the conclusion that I most definitely need a pair of creepers. I am thinking Leopard print ones all the way.




The lovely supermodel Behati makes me want them even more

Dont step on my Studded/Spikey Shoes

Its just past midnight and I should be studying for my Cultural Identities exam which is technically tomorrow. Its all very interesting, I'm focusing on the monstrous female body... and doubly monstrous women; women who are doubly monstrous because they are female and disabled. Im looking at how female amputees in horror films are portrayed as deviant and monstrous... so anyway I gave up studying for a while to take a look back over Junya Watanabe's last few collections -as one does the day before their exams. The reasoning behind this is, I did a presentation on Comme Des Garcons (Junya Watanabe and Rei Kawakubo) for Cultural Identities last year. Looking at how the garments of Comme Des Garcons deconstructed gender ideals - they basically get rid of gender in their clothes... So I came across these babies from Watanbe's Autumn/Fall Collection 2006



I studded two pairs of cheap boots that I have, im very tempted to get a nice pair of brogues and stud them now. Ok now back to the study....

ConneryandCaine

I love this picture of Sean Connery and Michael Caine with his wife Shakira. Her sequinned dress and matching hat/head thing is amazing. The men are sauve and she is beautiful. Its a lovely old school glamour photograph. Plus the size of Michael Caine's dickie bow is great.

Susan on South Park

So Susan Boyle, the unlikely next-big-thing made it onto South Park. Well it certainly seals the deal, thanks to the internet she is a world wide phenomeneon. She, along with her massive eyebrows and frizzy afro appeared on that shiteous talent programme, Britains Got Talent a while back and blew Simon Cowell and some other unimportant judges away.

Tut Tut Balmain

Dress I swooned over yesterday burst. Bad move, Balmain.

Beam me up, Balmain

I think this dress is a Balmain creation, looks most definitely like one. Its fantastic, looks a little uncomfortable. You can see the lining/slip slipping up and coming out of the neck, but other that that its fan-blooody-tastic

Thesebootsweremadeforwalkin'

I would kill for a pair of boots like these, not so keen perhaps on the matching boots with the boyfriend but my, my they are one stylish couple.
Picture taken at COACHELLLLLLLA.

Also her dress is amazing, crochet is soooo good but i fear it only works for certain people.

TieDyeAcidWash

My adventure for today, to tie dye a pair of jeans. So i have never done this before and im figuring it probably makes more sense to buy a pair of white jeans and tie dye them with black dye. What I have on my hands is a pair of black jeans and some bleach, i think i got it wrong. I realise now what i have to do, I must ACID WASH these babies. I was on chictopia.com where i found out what i have to do. Basically all it entails is:

WET THE GARMENT
WRING OUT THE WATER
TAKE YOUR AVERAGE EVERYDAY BLEACH AND SQUIRT ALL OVER THE GARMENT
LEAVE THE BLEACH TO SOAK IN FOR A WHILE
(im going to leave mine for about 20 mins)
WHEN SATISIFIED, RINSE OFF THE BLEACH
WASH IN THE WASHING MACHINE
DRY AND GET READY TO LOOK FLY

Maybe I'll look like the above, Chloe Acid Jeans.

IheartMosshart

Alison Mosshart of The Kills fame, aside from Karen O is one of the more badass gals of rock n roll. Too bad The Kills kind of suck now and Dead Weather Mosshart's new venture with Jack White and numerous other men of music is kind of dead in the water. Still one can appreicate a beautiful girl with talent and style.
The gold Marc Jacobs boots are fucking amazing. The fur coat hits the mark. And that poncho she is wearing in the pictures with that Noel Fielding is oddly reminiscent of the one I have been living in of late from the African Safari shop on Liffey St. In the last picture she gets it right by mixing leopard and tartan. Im bringing back my tartan trousers, got them for 10euro in Temple Bar about 6 years ago, its time they were revived.

Hoof

Awful. Disturbing shoes. Thank God, they are part of a German Art exhibition but i know there are some people who would wear these.

Flow Sweetly, Hang Heavy

Its 2:36 am on a Sunday morning and if the world couldnt get any right-er than Karen O's Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh's on Track 9 of It's Blitz will help. It's Summer time and I pretty much think I can see it in the night, lovely stuff. Can't sleep but who needs sleep when theres the Yeah Yeah Yeah's??? I wish I could remember more of their show at Ep 07 (?), it really doesnt matter what year it was, all I remember is a shiny little yellow-sequined-dancing-super-duper Karen O and me jumping on some poor soul's broken leg... in a sense that gig reminds me of James Brown from Oxegen '05. All I remember from that gig is a sparkley-green-suited-up King of Soul...
HYSTERIC, for me, is one of the most lovely tracks the YYY's have ever produced. It fits perfetly into a night like this, and will fit perfectly into many more to come. I can see it in the Summer
