Occasionally, I like to combine two things that I like, whether they are usually done together or not. Today’s project: video games and street style. I’ve always been a screenshot taker; I still have a huge folder documenting my World of Warcraft life that I won’t delete. I’ve also always liked using unsophisticated cameras to…

The Classless Fashion Guide to Eye Patches
Having a swollen, watery eye can make you look like a rat plague victim… but, never fear, putting on an eye patch can quickly make you the coolest girl in the bar. Eye patches can relieve strain on compromised eyes, can keep people from avoiding you in case what you have is contagious, and…
What I Am (Not) – Blogger Personality Exercise
I have been shying away from “thoughtful” posts lately, and also from finally filling out my About page although I need to, but I don’t want you to think that I haven’t been thinking lately. Actually lately I’ve been thinking about why I blog and what I want this blog to be, and what kind…
Street Style from Gorilla vs. Bear II at Granada Theater, Dallas (TIMEWARP!)
I took these with the intent to post at the time, but I guess I wimped out and felt self conscious about posting my street style shots. As I look back at them now, I know they deserve to be posted. There might be a little out of focus-ness, but I think they still have journalistic value….
JCPenney Fangirlism and What I Bought on Clearance
I would just like to go on the record and say that I love the new JC Penney format. I’ve heard that it hasn’t been too well received and I’ve also heard people complain that they want the old “frumpy” JCP back… but personally, I’m a big fan of the new “boutique” style. Some of the…
Places Names and Clothes: To the Store, for Cupcake Supplies
I keep coming back to this style concept in my mind, “pin-up grunge”. It is supposed to, ideally, be a cross between fabrics Kurt Cobain would wear with shapes that Dita Von Teese would wear. I don’t think I’ve really pulled it off yet, but I have been trying to keep the idea of a…
What They Wear on a Cold Day in Dallas
I wanted to try out my new camera in different situations today, so I drove down into Dallas. I was hoping to catch some in congruent shots of snow on the familiar landmarks that are usually bathed in sun.. but most of the snow had already been cleared away from roads and walkways. Instead I got a…
And Then One Day I Shaved Part of my Head…
Yesterday I got the side of my head shaved. I felt like I’d gotten a little stale in my hair style choices, and color wasn’t giving me a rush anymore.. so I cut some off. I hate to be the kind of person who puts a lot of symbolic value into hair, but I…
Will You Take Me Home? Deals That Weren’t Meant for Me – Black No. 1 at JCP Clearance.
Sometimes when I’m shopping, I see something that is an awesome deal, but its not perfect for me. It might be the wrong size, or a cut that isn’t flattering on me, or just not right for my life. I always feel a compulsive desire to help these lonely items find their perfect homes.. but I’m not…
Love vs. Hate: 4 Things I Don’t Need a Trend to Love, and 4 Things a Trend Can’t Make Me Love.
I have been thinking on the concept of personal style lately- mostly because I’ve realized that mine needs a revitalization. I’ve gotten lazy; what I actually do no longer matches my vision. I think that personal style is the assortment of themes that serves you well over the course of time; translated into the language…
Places, Names, and Clothes: Overdressed for the Art Supply Store.
Today I went to Asel Art.. which is one of the last businesses to flee a dying shopping center. (They’re moving out in February.) This skirt was given to me by a friend who just moved out of the country. So instead of running around London, it can be seen hanging around empty store fronts….
SpyCam Barcelona, part 2
I didn’t just take a few pictures of people I don’t know. I got braver as I went. I’m pretty sure that she is pretty sure that I just took her picture.. but she’s not quite for sure. At La Sagrada Familia, it’s easy to snipe a spy shot; everyone is looking up. At La…
