Hemlines
May 16, 2012

I made a dress a decade ago, something between an evening and a ball gown. Ballerina length. I found it in a closet at my parents’ house today and to my great shock the thing still fits. I remember it being a snug fit 7 lbs ago, so I don’t know how it zipped up so easily this afternoon. Still, it fits and it looks fantastic so I’m trying to figure out if a ballerina hemline is still doable. That length can look very debutante ball to me, but it’s more practical than a full floor length gown since it works for more occasions. Though I’ve only worn it once, so fussing over trying to make it work for multiple events is kind of stupid.



Eventual irony

I realise that I am in the minority on this one, but Ryan Gosling doesn’t really do it for me. I’m not referring to his ability as an actor or the quality of his movies, I couldn’t really comment on either. He’s just a bit more puppy dog than I like in a man. Alright that was slightly beside the point, but written as a preface so I can avoid looking like a fan girl for someone I’m not a fan girl for.

Here’s the point:

I suspect that Ryan Gosling got bullied as a kid. Often. Possibly daily. And I wonder how many of those same bullies now have to take their wives/girlfriends to Ryan Gosling movies just so they can get laid that night.



Outfit: Crayola denim and shiny flats

DIY Crayola pants, white t-shirt, black scarf jacket, black patent snake skin loafers, cherry red bag

I wore this to drop off some shoes for Vibram resoling in NYC. This was the first outing for my DIY Crayola jeans and while they looked pretty awesome in person (the lighting is a little dark in these photos for the colour to really pop) I found that not being able to properly set the colour was really an issue. The part of my upper thigh where my jacket rests and rubs is now pretty devoid of striping! And I’m pretty sure I couldn’t put these in the laundry.

I definitely want to try it again with the right materials.

Accidental Nudity: Airport Security

You can't bring a bottle of water on an airplane! Have you been living under a rock?

“Is that a bottle of water? What, have you been living in a cave? You can bring that much water onto a plane!”
