Okay. I TOTALLY know I might be alone on this one. But this is sort of amazing, right?

 

It's this classic 80s beauty salon style drawing but then the picture is of the Kardashian sisters so of course that's very very current pop culture. Which is... weird. But awesome. Right? Am I crazy? I almost want this just 'cause its so strange. At the very least, it would def confuse people of the future when it enevitably ended up at a thrift store.

 

(If anyone else is as intrigued as I am, this baby is available at Sears.)

Laced & Lace

I wasn't sure about this when I found it but once I put it on, whole 'nother story. The fit is sooo good and I imagine it would be for others as well since it's got a nice stretch to it. And it's velvet with a lace panel so that's just pretty damn cool anyway.

And it's by Esprit. Kids of the 90s, it's that brand that was around a lot that you couldn't pronounce. Anyone?? I remember a friend of mine had a shirt that said Esprit on it and she said that she wanted to cross out the 'E' and it would say spirit and she knew what that was so it would be better that way. 'Cept spirit isn't spelled like that and I'm only now realizing this through the telling of that story. I have NO idea why I remembered that. Childhood confusion over god/spirits perhaps? Great story, right?? Okay! Whatever! Go buy the skirt.

Speaking of nice stretch to them... (yay! transitions!) these pants by Style Stalker that I still reallllly want. I forget I want them for a couple of weeks and then remember again and search for them online and the few pairs I find are like $200. This keeps happening. If anyone knows where I can get these or similar for less money, please tell me! I chose to use this picture of Kim Kardashian wearing them because I think they look successfully not batshit crazy. These pants could easily go the batshit crazy or goth route but here they look calmed down which is how I would want to wear them. I like my crazy, for sure, but I like to take it with a side of normalcy.

interwebz

Hey y'all! I'm back!

After being without internet for quite a while after the elusive and too-good-for-network-password having "Terry" moved out of my building (or so I think), my roommates and I decided to take the plunge and purchase internet for ourselves! Crazy!

And it comes with cable and home phone service because it's cheaper that way which totally makes sense.... EXCEPT IT DOESN'T AT ALL. Anyway, the self install kit arrived today and after my roommate and I figured out how to install the damn thing we were immediately sucked into two full hours of surfing the web, as it were, with a Khloe and Lamar marathon playing in the background. Only makes sense after going without internet for a couple weeks and then all of a sudden having both internet and cable. Gotta get our fill. Before I could pretty much only watch PBS cooking shows unless it was a Sunday which meant intense, focused effort was put into adjusting the antenna to watch football.

After realizing I had spent way too much time hearing about whether Lamar should go play basketball in Turkey (don't tell me you've never seen any Kardashian shows, you know what I'm talking about), I decided to go read because that would make me feel.... wholesome-r??

I'm reading Just Kids by Patti Smith right now. I mailed it to my mom for her birthday a few months ago and she gave it back to me to read because she already had a copy. So now I awkwardly have a book that says "Happy Birthday Mom! Seeya soon!" in the front. So far, it's really great. I just read the quote below that I am gonna try to remember about everytime I think something about my apartment is shitty.

After paying deposit on their new apartment:

"We had the entire second floor, with windows facing east and west, but its aggressively seedy condition was out of my range of experience. The wall were smeared with bloody and psychotic scribbling, the oven crammed with discarded syringes, and the refridgerator overrun with mold."

Just when this book had gotten me all romaticisin' about New York in the 60s.....

(BTW, Terry, if you're out there, you are amazing! I love that you didn't password protect. We all gotta share with each other in this crazy world. I would totally not password protect except that my service forces me too. And viruses and things like that. But its totally not a financial thing. Universal message of this story: Let's share, World!)

Kardashian Kristmas Kard

I one day hope to send out a Christmas card of this likeness because SWEET LADY OF GUADALUPE IT IS FABULOUS! Why does Kourtney look like a female mafia don (doña?) and her son like a little tiny mafia man? I dunno, 'cause its awesome? This isn't even related to Christmas save that feathery green thing one of the younger 'dashians is wearing. But who cares!

Ps. Who styles these things?

"Hey you are styling the Kardashian Kristmas Kard."

"That's a lot of K's..."
"They like it that way."

"Okay, well I'm gonna go gather some awesome non-Christmas related clothes and put a weird awards-show-turn-mob-showdown spin on this."

What??
