Very Appropriate For 20cm of Snow

Very eventful weekend.  Started with a 24hr massive blackout (in the middle of a cold snap. -20 degrees C.  Wonderful) with no heat or electricity or computer.  Then running around doing errands, collecting transcripts, paying for said transcripts and sitting in a library for 5 hours reading and selecting plays.

Sounds so familiar.  I might as well be wearing one of these:

images collected from jak&jill and superfantasticpicturetime.

And this I found through The Foxy Man.  With accompanying appreciation for the origin of all those highly stylized sexual fetishism-inspired editorials and spreads you see popping up here and there.  I'm sure had it not been for the magazine that this and other images like it come from, this shirt would not exist.

In The Middle Of The Night

The benefits of hiding a credit card is that groggy, middle of the night purchase, like these, are easily avoided.

Healthy Change

A) I couldn't get an appointment to fix my hair until Wednesday so any photographs of me without a hat will wait until then.   Thanks if you like it.  I just need to resolve the back half so it's not so wonky and disproportionate (in a bad way).

B) I'm changing the look of this thing.  This is phase one.  Phase two will likely be different.  I'll fix and fiddle until I find a phase I like.

C) Clearing up some hard-drive space, images from Jak & Jill blog, Fotodecadent, and who knows where else.  I swear, next time I'll make a note of some kind with where they come from.

also:  I sent attempt #1 through the wash and it did not do well.  The colour is off and the image is a bit too destroyed.  I suppose I'll figure out a way to use ink for #2, or find a transfer that isn't so delicate/annoying.

So I'm Out Of A Job.

And did this.

None of these photographs are mine, but I don't remember where all of them are from.  A combination of Jak&Jill, The Sartorialist, Facehunter, and the like.

I'll see you guys later.

Fight.

Not quite in the mood to do a long exaggerated post about my recent attraction to big, exaggerated collars and long, ironed pleats.  So I condensed it into a Wednesday Night "Computer Crafts" activity.
