Vintage Shmintage

Despite all the hoopla surrounding Vintage clothing, I've never actually been sold on it. Unlike most, I don't like shopping enough to force myself to poke round a tiny smelly shop for an hour in search of old moth-eaten clothes. I'm too lazy and fragile for the rummage, scrummage and eventual realisation that people with hips were shunned in the 20's-which happens to be my vinny decade of choice (owing to my fascination with all the Gatsby-esque decadence of the era.)

but thanks be to the fashion gods for newly opened Raw Edge Boutique, which is kinda like Asos but for vintage clothing and capsule collections by up and comers like Jacqstar and Kharise Francis, and everything is super affordable..

i'm frothing at the mouth for the following by Jacqstar ..gimmeh gimmeh gimmeh

And these vinny pieces right here are calling my name..

Santa Baby..

i know the saying goes 'It's better to give than to receive', but as things go I'm not in a position to give right now, so I will humbly receive anything the weirdy-beardy from Lapland gives me, and just in case he's at a loss for what to get me, I've compiled a list..

On the 7th day of Christmas my baby GahhhDaMe

full body lipo-suction and some Indian Remy (I dare you to judge me)

On the 6th day of Christmas my baby GahhhDaMe

a gorgeous Arty raaaaaang 

On the 5th day of Christmas my baby GahhhDaMe

the D&G t-shirt with Betty Paige on it

On the 4th day of Christmas my baby GahhhDaMe

a Delfina Deletrez Salome eye pendant chain

On the 3rd day of Christmas my baby GahhhDaMe

a pair of Jeremy Scott Lehhheggings

On the 2nd day of Christmas my baby GahhhDaMe

a vintage Chanel backpack that'd make everyone voooohmit

On the 1st day of Christmas my Jesus GahhhDaMe

a black pair of United Nude 'Iris' booooties

Santa is a generous man, if Beyonce received a CLK Mercedes, a diamond belly ring(which i really wouldn't mind), a gift card to get her fave CDs AND a boyfriend who massaged her feet, then i'm pretty effing sure I can look forward to receiving at least two items off my little old list (the booties and the Backpack PLEAAAASE) from him.

Cut&Swallow x BoxFresh x Sweaty Eskimo styled by Me

My wonderful friend, designer behind Cut and Swallow, Danielle Scott-Haughton recently created a capsule collection in collaboration with men's sportswear brand BoxFresh, and Mz Bratt as the face of the campaign. The idea was to take a few items from BoxFresh's denim line, re-work them into feminine pieces.. I had so much fun styling the shoot, and hanging out with everyone, it's amazing to see how a week's worth of hustling (on my unprepared part) came out looking so great!

Dear Arron Afflalo

I've had some really great me-time this week, trying to evaluate what I actually want and how I'm gonna get it. I love working in le fashion yahh, but the moment something starts to destroy your soul you better pray for the discernment to run/ jog/ walk away from that situation ..because it is NEVER EVER that serious..

so after much thought, meditation and prayer, I've decided I want to be **drum roll please** a BASKETBALL HEAUX!! my career goals in order of achievement are as follows:
Arron Afflalo's current Jumpoff --> Arron Afflalo's future Babymum --> Arron Afflalo's eventual Wife/ eternal Fiance...

i'm really dedicated to the cause guys, if anyone out there happens upon this post and knows him or ever gets to breathe his air can you please let him know that I am more than capable of being the sole recipient of his naked innanet pictures.. PLEASE?

look I even tried (and failed truth be known) to do my nails in honour of him and his team...

I'm also willing to buyout the MAC counter, grow my hair out and extend it with some unprocessed Indian hair, and lose 3stones in weight if that's what he wants..

ps. if Melody Thornton could kindly hop her muscly bum out of my man's car before i decapitate her, please and thank you very much.. bitch.

pps. now that NBA season is well underway you should be warned that I may post similar things about other players.. [incase the Nuggets start playing shitty.]
N.B. I dare you to judge me.

Hero to Zero

sooooo ummm yeahhh.

this is the reason why i think we ALL need a nice healthy dose of FACEFRONT every now and again.

it's embarrassing to have to tell the fairest one of all that he looks like a prat when he dances.. and that we prefer him with his mouth shut because his song sounds like the noise that mermaids and mermen make when they're caught in fishing wire.. like pretty-people noise

Uncle Karl is really rude for endorsing this instead of saying 'Face Front into the Camera sweetie, pay no mind to that recording mic that's rubbing against your cheek'.. really fucking rude.

every time i watch the video i use the picture below to remind myself he is a sex-god and therefore deserves my love and adoration.. not my ridicule
