HUMP DAY: MICHAEL PHELPS

I just had to post this.

Bask...just bask.

That is all. You're welcome.

Tattoo Tuesday: The Vintage Stuff

I'm obsessed with tattoos. If they weren't so expensive, I'd have many more. Anyway, with obsession comes knowledge. I'm always studying the history of things I fancy. I was on Tumblr just looking at tattoo photos just because that's what I do, and stumbled upon this jewel...

Apparently, this is from the 1920's.
I love how they're all dapper with their comb overs, but plenty tatted.

Of course, this inspired me to look for more.

Righteous chest piece.

I'm assuming she's a pin up girl by the pose and everything.

This one is my favorite.
Mostly for that bustier she's wearing, but the photo is amazing too.

I might get into the habit of posting more vintage photos.

And remember...tattoos are forever.

What I Would've Worn: Golden Globes 2013

Everyone is talking about who wore what best. That gets old after a minute or so. I start thinking: Since I have such an opinion, what would I have worn last night?

Light bulb.

So, I thought about Givenchy. Tisci is my number one as far as designer obsessions go, but Fall 2012 featured fur tops which I love, but fur is just too much for the Golden Globes. Then, I thought about Alexander McQueen, my number two, but those flamboyant, pink, anemone like tiers would surely get me shunned, even though, I think the dresses are fabulous. Then, it came to me!

Look 39. Sans hat, and add a belt to accentuate the curves honey.

I'm thinking a simple up-do with simple make-up. It's all about the dress.

She's Gotta Have It!

Like seriously, I want these now! I don't know where or how I will wear them, but I'll worry about that later after I figure out how to afford them.

Oh Fashionista! How I Missed You, Honey!

As you all should know, I am slave to fashion. She is my queen, and I am just her mere subject. During our hiatus, I've been clipping and saving every bit of anything fierce. Since we are back, I'm going to make it a habit to post anytime I see something WE must have. I still haven't figured out a title for it, but when I do...you'll know.

So here's what I must have today...



I found these on Hartslag's Tumblr  today. Her purple hair is fabulous, by the way. Anyway, I must have these rings or something like them. I have the re-obsession with finger jewelry (kinky right...), and I feel like I need to acquire as many rings as possible. I mean, you can never have too many. A ring on every finger is ratchet though. Maybe a couple on a few fingers...you know...clutter chic.

This discovery also makes me want to start a Tumblr...hmmm...

Paper Doll by AjiaZ

Paper doll Proportioned legs & arms Nice head on her shoulders. Cute skirt. Each cut sharp and precise Sometimes mirrored images Like going thru it twice. Only to shape her into what's right. Some lines edgier curvier Still admired in whatever shape. Each doll created from the last doll But they all remain the same she. Molded by the external Driven by the internal Beauty at its best. The gift of life from a greater being Created in the image of... Her. Ajia Z
