Jodhpurs, the L-word, and being up after my bedtime.

One of the biggest reasons I left the fashion industry was the plastic people.
Surrounding myself with them daily started to give me an existential crisis.

A tv-show tonight reconfirmed that belief... but not due to the plastic people...

Jodhpurs are in style still.

For those of you not familiar ----->

Sexy eh?

Seriously designers - what the hell are you trying to do to us???

Unless you ARE a runway model, and look good in pretty much everything including a burlap sac... WHO DOES THIS LOOK GOOD ON!?

Hey, even hot RCMP officers look dapper in the red serge... but the lower regions of this variation leave something to be desired.

News flash... The Emperor has no clothes. Thank god... cuz if he was wearing this get-up, we'd just secretly wish he was naked anyways.

God I wish the days of Breakfast at Tiffany's style was back in. How much do i wish i could pull off a simple little black dress with a big floppy hat and over-sized sunglasses paired with a nice set of pearls?

On a completely different note... The show the L-word does reconfirm my belief that lesbians as a whole are insane. Love them. But ladies... we're wack jobs... just admit it.

Admittedly - watching the show is my guilty pleasure... for the same reason that most of my dyke friends have confessed - watching dyke drama that you aren't directly related in - is somewhat comforting, and a relief.

Of course, being married now has allowed me to side-step the entire drama cycle, which I am over the moon about.

Kate Moennig aka Shane in the series does give me my tv-star lust points.

Albeit, I'm not generally one to swoon over actresses, and actors... as i find it a tad futile, and pointless - but damn that is a good looking woman. It's ridiculous really.

Suddenly I'm too tired to continue... or even watch this show, of overtly beautiful & glamours lesbians. Fake or not. Kate Moenning will just have to act away without this gal fawning over her for tonight.

...till later...

  1. A favorite of your posts. humorous. Is ti possible to be a lesbian and not be engolfed in drama? When you avoid it you are still included in it. Not possible........

  3. Get this... I'm now starting to hate shopping. When I walk into stores, I can't find anything I like. There's no PVC, neon, color, glitz, etc. Everything seems so... ugh.

    Boring.

    Oh.. and last year I bought a train-conductor style coat. Really not my thing, but it was on sale. Then I found out that FCUK, the store that I bought it from, was on this big "depression era" clothing trend. And THEN Star TV just had to ask Paris Hilton about where she got her dress while in TO... from the same store I got that damned coat.

    I've been lost since phat pants came out of style.

    {sob}

    PS: Once I have time, I'm taking some sewing classes and I'll myake my OWN DAMNED PVC pants. Fuck you fashion industry and your depression clothing.

    I want glitter!!!

  4. I try my hardest to indulge in styles from the 40s & 50s... yummy. I have noticed the clothing (for women) coming out this spring includes modernized versions of Christian Dior's "New Look". This look makes me swoon, drool and squirm.

    Funny thing is, I had a pair of jodhpurs when I was 14, I bought them from Club Monaco... big mistake.
