Sweet Bird of Youth: September 2009

man oh man

Take your pick.

ETA: ilovecoolthings made a very valid point..."part of the reason I am still single". This is true - I believe that somewhere out there are men who know how to dress (and I mean really understand...not just like be able to pick out a cool tee) without being a) gay or b) an artist narcissistic wanker. Of course this would be in combination with a whole lot of other not so shallow attributes but I won't go there, well not tonight anyway.

4 most recent reasons I am broke - bitch

Two lessons I learnt
1. If you have no money in the bank there's usually a good reason for it
2. Before you purchase do some research - I found the shown dress online for $70 cheaper. Thats like a weeks groceries just because this 'boutique' decided they made the dress look classy enough to give it a like 500% mark up

NB: Lesson # 2 doesn't always work when you're an impulse shopper GUILTY

P.S Excuse poor quality of image 3

all at once the world felt overhwhelming

Sometimes I feel as though I'm saving up pictures to post at a later date....sometimes I forget I have literally thousands of images to share and I'm pretty sure my harddrive is about to crash - so I better stop saving and better get posting!
Photos/Illustrations: various. Ask for specifics

three by four

Really love this little collage found on General Pants webiste. A little quirky, arty and interesting yet still slick and appealing.
Theres a label associated with each picture....can you guess them?? (no points for the Levis and Wrangler!)

cut paste

If collaging was a job I would definately apply. Theres nothing that I love more than finding, collecting, grouping, cutting, arranging, pasting pictures together.

Collage: Myself....'Rebel with a Cause'

As an after thought...I'm sure it is a job. Art director, editor, layout graphic something-a-rather. Note to self: find out specific role and requirements.

I'm sorry but...

...FIERCE is the only word that is coming to mind. I can't even explain or pinpoint what it is about this editorial that I find so fascinating.
Also, am I the only one finding that guy majorly attractive? Could it be to do with my fetish for men pushing prams? Mmm maybe.

wall-E

Slowly but surely my inspiration wall will grow. I have subconsciously picked up on a red, yellow, black&white theme. To be continued.....

In other news, I maybe not so subconsciously ended up looking like Britney Spears, Hit Me Baby One More Time style, at a back-to-school dress up party on Saturday - I opted for a more liberal uniform that allowed for a leather skirt and gold brogues, my old tartan kilt wasn't quite working. I am both amused and disgusted at what school uniforms do to the male species and their sick minds which must be based on about 99% fantasy 1% reality...It was a fun night none the less. See cheesy photo below for outfit.
