What's Black and White All Over?

Well, it's me. It's me most of the time. Hahaha! I do have to point out that there is a pop of Pink Flamingo, since they are the kitschiest birds around! 

Vulcan Butterfly wrote about a skirt that is a Wardrobe Workhorse and this black circle skirt by Steady Clothing is one of mine. I have to stop myself from wearing it everyday as it truly goes with everything! From t-shirts to blouses, sweaters and collared button-up's, this skirt has my heart.

Wearing; black & white blouse (hottopic.com), cardigan (old, Kohl's), pink flamingo brooch (Charcoal Designs), skirt (Steady Clothing), heart tights (???), Mary Janes (vintage, Dr. Martens)

My hair was sort of an accident, I was trying to figure out what to do with it as it was close to hair washing day (Have I ever mentioned I hate washing my hair?!!!) and this bouffant 60s-esque do' was born. So. Much. Hairspray. 

(That's Dolly Patron)

Hahaha, I love this!

Thank you for reading, until next time!

R.I.P Don Featherstone

Well, I'm pretty sure you may have not heard of Don Featherstone, but I'm pretty sure you've seen pink plastic lawn flamingos. Those kitsch-tastic birds who have become the ultimate token of tackiness. Heck, John Waters even named a movie after them, Pink Flamingos. Don Featherstone was the creator of the pink plastic flamingo shaped lawn ornaments and he recently passed away at age 79 after battling a lengthy disease.

Our front garden. Pardon the weeds.

I don't remember how my pink flamingo fascination started, perhaps it's due my love of airstream trailors and everything that involves tackiness and kitsch. Like anything that starts off as a joke amongst friends, it has turned into full blown pink flamingo mania! 

Make up case: gift from Judy and Mike

DeTiki carved purse: Derek drunkenly bought (from a past Ohana)

Flamingo blanket: gift from Terri

Charcoal Designs brooch: gift to myself

Hair clips: gift from Miss Natalie from Goody Two Shoes 

So, thank you Don for making this world that much more delightful with your pink plastic creations. I hope you rest in peace.

It's The Pits

The Pits as in this dress digging into mine and now I realize why it's been sitting in the closet unworn. It's a darn shame that after a day at work I'm recoiling in armpit pain. 

Pardon the weird lighting.

I really like the purple leopard panels on this Dead Threads dress, so much so I removed the weird corseting that lined the sides so that you could see the pattern better. What can I say, I love full skirts.

I've been feeling a bit melancholy, so the mood of these photos seems fitting. For as much as I seem like the outgoing type, I often retreat into my own head and let the feelings overwhelm me. It's my cross to bear, being that I seem like an extrovert, but in reality I am quite introverted. I find myself going in ten different directions and I'm feeling a little burned out.

Lovely Shrunken Head brooch from Charcoal Designs

I think it's the red wine and Cocteau Twins talking, as I will return to my cheerful self shortly. I don't want this blog to turn into the Gloomy Gus News.

Those Cannibal Girls All Taste the Best!

It's Music Thursday, yet I keep singing "Cannibal Girl" by Cult of the Psychic Fetus, because of the brooch I'm wearing, the Restless Native brooch from Charcoal Designs. I was very inspired by the brooch, so I paired my Kreepsville 666 skull necklace and earrings with the striped dress and jacket. Velvety leggings and slouch socks with cowboy boots are perfect for this Autumn day!

When Derek helps me take photos these are some of the results:

Picking almonds out of my teeth. LOL!

"SMILE!"

Hahahaha!! I have a hard time being serious when Derek is the photographer, than again I have way more fun. *Wink*

Thank you for reading!
