I’m liking this shit today.  Lately I’ve been bonering over vests.  I have no idea why.  It’s possible that I spend the majority of the night last night looking up vintage suede fringed vests on ebay.  Ain’t no thang.

Anyways, I’m looking pretty style-explosiony today.  Note the mint green pan-collared blouse.  Note the collar necklace worn OVER the blouse.  I’m so crafty in my fashion thinks. Ka-Bizzoom.

Oh Ryan Gosling… STOP PLAYING AROUND AND COME MAKE OUT WITH ME.

Trying a little harder today with colour and what not.  I really like the clashy-ness of this outfit, but the pants are making me look like a soccer mom.  I swear that I’m not this grotesquely obese in real life, it’s just an optical illusion.  Swear.

And yes.  I changed back to brown.  It happened.  Here are my reasons:

1. It didn’t look that good and I’m pretty sure all my friends were just a little too nice to say anything.  The dye job was a bit blotchy and the red hair made my skin look ruddy.
2. It was getting frigging expensive.  I have always cut and dyed my own hair, and that costs like $10.00 every three months.  Last month, I spent about $350.00 on my hair.  What the fuck?  No one should have to pay that kind of money. 
3. Meh.  I’m lazy.  Maintaining roots would require effort.

Yeah.  So that’s why.  Honestly and for true, though, I like it better and am happy that I tried it, because now I know that I love my deep chestnut brown.  Like a brown stallion, with healthy, glossy hair.  Running free through the meadow.

Alright so, it’s still hot, but fall is percolating… it’s at that stage where you know you still need summer clothing to get through the next couple of back-sweaty months, but you WISH you could start wearing wool skirts in dark colours… silk long-sleeved blouses in jewel tones… textured fabrics… sigh.

Mel Gibson has an extendo-mullet.

An “Extendo-Mullet” is a mullet that is made for an actor who clearly has short hair, and he’s been cast for a role that (for some reason) requires long hair. So, instead of, say, just accepting that the audience won’t question the plausibility of a person having short hair in this particular set of circumstances, and instead of, say, putting the actor in, like, a full wig which I would assume are readily available for big-budget productions such as this one, the director has chosen to basically glue shitty hair extensions to the sides of the actor’s head, thus creating a mullet. Mel’s extendo-mullet is made from horrible frizzy-person hair extensions and it looks horrible. Like, that is a BAD extendo-mullet. Like maybe even worse than Leonardo DiCaprio’s extendo mullet in The Man with the Iron Mask. That extendo-mullet looks like it was made from donkey hair. Anyways. It’s awesome that his mullet is horrible.

You only have to watch, like, the first 45 minutes

Yeah dude, I’ve “watched” this movie like 8 times, and I have no idea what happens after the Thunderdome match with Melly and Blaster. After doing some Wikipedia research, I discovered that there is this whole part of the movie that involves a lost tribe of children and stuff? Am I crazy, or does NO ONE remember anything about this movie except for the “TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES” part, when Mel uses his secret ”whistle technique”, clubs Blaster with the mullet and you see that Blaster is mentally challenged, and Mel goes “THAT WASN’T PART OF THE DEAL” and it’s all dramatic and stuff? Yeah. Thought so. This makes the movie awesome, because who fucking cares about a tribe of abandoned kids?

It has a “fight-to-the-death” cage match

Who can argue with this? YOU? No. You can’t, asshole. Stop being an asshole and agree with me. The wicked-poo-bum-ass cage match is awesome, for several reasons. First, it’s a fucking cage-dome, which leaves the plot line ripe for “jumping off the cage walls and ceiling” fight sequences. Second, Mel Gibson wins the fight with a whistle. Third… it’s fucking fight-to-the-death cage match, idiot! You don’t need a third reason.

There are inexplicable things that are never explained and that you just have to accept

(I couldn’t find a picture of this shit, but watch the first 15 minutes of the movie and you’ll get it)

So, there’s this one guy in the movie – he’s one of the Bartertown guards… does anyone else notice that he has, like, a papier-mache Geisha head on a stick/spring that is coming out of his back? It’s totally life-head-size and bounces around when he walks like a whack-a-mole. At any point in the movie, do they explain why this one guy’s outfit has a head on a stick attached to it? No. They don’t. Which is awesome.

The town is powered by poo

Yes. The town is powered by the methane released from pig poos. 

Tina Turner is in it

Plus she has giant potato bugs coming out of her ears.

On today’s segment of “Forgotten Closet Treasures”… I bought these jeans like a year ago, and they were way too long but I thought to myself “I’ll just shorten them”.  A year later, and they were still sitting there, unworn, and way too long.  I shortened them on Monday.  Now I love them.

SCREW THAT.  More like FOUR cheese.

I am extremely disillusioned with myself.  I TRIED to put together an interesting outfit today, but I hate it.  I feel like my blazer is all boxy, my pant proportions don’t fit with the blazer, and my tank top makes my stomach look a watermelon.

Booooooooooooooo me.

Thanks Micah.

I was really excited about this top when I bought it, like, 6 months ago.  Now I’m “meh” about it.  It’s really cute, but it’s like, trying to be a cropped top thing, but it’s too long, and it’s too short to tuck in.  Jesus. 

Also, I’m very bored with myself lately.  There is no creativity in any of my outfits.  It’s like “top and skirt”.  “Top and pants”.  So totally uninspired.  I have to get my shit together.

In other news, how bombshell-y does my hair look today?
