Today I was a mime.
“Louder Than Words” Slate
Rocking the ubiquitous creeper shoes and my favorite Boutique Onze dress for the occasion.
That guy is totally judging me.
Over-the-shoulder POV shot…
Mimes like their coffee black just like their souls.
Why have I not heard of this film Rage by Sally Potter? It has Judi Dench saying “Fashion isn’t art, fashion is pornography…”. I am intrigued. Click play for the full trailer.
These shorts are too good…way too good. I drool! Phamous leopard shorts available on PixieMarket.
I’m about to buy so much chain at Baubles & Beads this week…Malice in Chains dress by Evil Twin, available on PixieMarket.
Just discovered there is a distinct lack of switchblade combage in my life, thanks to Riot Tuxedo. I am strongly reminded of that one episode of Powerpuff Girls where Buttercup joins Gang Green Gang.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I badly need this Blood is the New Black Brian Lichtenberg moto vest shirt. It’s amazing!!! It needs to be worn with my jeggings for a full trompe l’oeil look.
: P
I may need to start a blog category devoted exclusively to creeper shoes.
Ugh I need a model for my shoot…I wish Izzy Hilton would do it, he would be so perfect :(
Of course angels are leggy chain-smoking platinum blondes who wear LBD’s and pearls.
Rie Rasmussen and Jamel Debbouze in Angel-A (Luc Besson, 2005)
NastyGal/Urban Outfitters mashup…I should really stop procrastinating and write my Ethics paper.
I’ve been working on the styling for an upcoming shoot…I’m pretty nervous about it but I’m excited about the pieces. I want to include pieces by With Asian Stereotypes (inverted cross tank pictured), Complex Geometries, and hopefully a Drooling Isn’t Pretty original…we shall see ; ) I’m aiming for something super dark and surreal, and kind of inspired by The Residents and Spirited Away.
P.S. How amazing are those silver buttons in the top picture? I love them :)
Driving home, late one night,
When I saw the face of beauty in the pale blue light.
My eyes decieved me, and I had to flip back,
Face to face with a phantom cadillac.

Alright yo, here’s another top five, I know I’ve been slacking. This week I am into…
1) Alice + Olivia…I’ve been posting a lot of Alice + Olivia lately and I covet this chain bag….I COVET IT. Available here at Chickdowntown.
2) Opening Ceremony Where the Wild Things Are collection…I would wear this Max suit every second I am indoors. My teddy bear has a matching outfit, so it seems fitting. Also, the faux fur skirts and jewelry in this collection are pretty epic…more here.
3) Edie Sedgwick hair. I hate my hair right now and don’t know what to do with it…but it pretty much looks like this if I sleep on it wet so I’m going to just accept it. I’m no Edie but I’m going to have to pretend the look is intentional.
4) I’ve recently developed an inexplicable obsession with sugar skulls. I want them everywhere.
5) I know skull scarves are SO Alexander McQueen two-seasons-ago, but I’ve somehow gotten myself back into the whole printed neckerchief thing…I used to wear a bandana everyday (along with tracksuits), and although the tracksuits will definitely never see the light of day again, I’m kinda down to re-commit to the whole unnecessary neck decoration thing again.
I know things have been a bit slow at Drooling Isn’t Pretty, but get ready because something special is coming up for my 200th post.
Um…I kinda don’t like cheesy themed posts…so my Halloween post is gonna be Five Weird Uses of Nail Polish.
1) If you paint those little paper cocktail umbrellas with clear nail polish, they become waterproof, like real umbrellas! Except tiny! Sooo practical.
2) Use it to seal envelopes. I’m actually allergic to that weird glue you have to lick to seal envelopes, but nail polish works perfect! Plus then the FBI can’t test for your spit on ransom notes. Bwahahaha!
3) Nail polish is my secret weapon on public transportation. I guess people don’t like the smell, or men don’t anyway. If someone creepy or rude is sitting next to me I will bust out the nail polish and they tend to move with disgusted looks on their faces. Suckers!
4) When you get little tears in your purse or shoes where the black is peeling off, fret not! A little black nail polish does the trick to cover it up and keep it from peeling more.
5) If you’re too lazy to hem something or sew up a seam, or you are working with a material that frays a lot, save yourself some grief and polish that shite. UPDATE: My mom added that it also works for stopping runs in tights. Good point!
