But I shall update more regularly after the holidays. Having no internet at home is impossible. I also hope to have my etsy shop up and running by th end of next week. Here are some pretty clothes I’ve worn in the last two months:
I should post next week at the latest. I’m venturing upstairs to take a surreptitious library outfit photo and find some books to check out before it closes for a couple weeks D; D;
Maybe this time I will actually post regularly. I stopped abruptly after I moved and stopped spending as much time online as I used to. But I’d like to have a fashion/film blog, I think, since it occupies so much of my time and thoughts.
I keep delaying the start of my vintage etsy shop, because uni is a huge burden this semester. I am taking 15 credit hours/5 courses, and working 25+ hour work weeks at the library. I am planning to work on picture taking and uploading next weekend, since I finally have Saturday mornings off!
My Halloween ensemble, to be worn at a later date in some form, I am sure:
The dress is the most perfect thing I own, possibly; 1920s gauzy cotton muslin, with silk and eyelet trims. I was a splicer from the video game Bioshock. I obviously refrained from carrying a butcher knife around parties.
Currently reading: Assata: An Autobiography by Assata Shakur; she was a strong member of the Black Panthers, convicted of killing a NJ state trooper in the 1970s, though medical & forensic evidence pointed to the contrary. Her prose is very crisp and different from what I normally read. You may know her as the aunt of Tupac!
Last film watched: Lust, Caution – finally got to see it! Tony Leung is so creepy in it, but was it beautiful.
Hopefully I will update again this week, instead of next year.
Weekendly fun: Seeing Acid Mothers Temple, finally [have missed them at least 5 times!]
Clothes of late:
More can be found at Wardrobe Remix on flickr!
I may start doing garment showcases of my favourite pieces.
Also, a new addition: recent et ceteras, i.e., film watched, book(s) read/reading, music and all that other drivel that can fill a blog!
Most recent film watched: Sholay, for Bollywood class. It has an armless man kicking a bandit TO DEATH with spiked shoes!
Currently reading: Ice-Candy-Man by Bapsi Sidhwa; Maximum City by Suketu Mehta. Both for pleasure, though Bollywood class has pushed me towards them. Also in the middle of a countless number of non-fiction books and poetry from th library that I haven’t touched in months. In my paper journal I keep lists of all the books I read for th year, and I am way behind [last year I finished 34 books, this year I only just completed my fifth so far!]
Sunday was my long-time [nearly 6 years!] amour’s birthday.
My rocking horse shoes were a hit about town. “They’re like reverse high heels!”
That dress is quite strong for being nearly 80 years old, although the lace rips whenever I wear it. I like the decaying quality of very old garments.
I’m going to try to be less self-conscious when it comes to ensemble documentation and posing. Also, I am COMPLETELY inept at layouts and html of all sorts, so everything will look dodgy until I get th hang of it.
Blogue. Header is a film still from Chris Marker’s Sans Soleil, as is the name [by way of Sei Shonagon's Pillow Book.] Watch it! Read it! I am unsure of what I will use this for yet.
