you can't spell prostitute without pro

25 July 2008

Well technically it's probably after midnight when I post this but who's counting?

*Clarification: for some stores, you pay for the location and the overall look of the store, if you buy in Soho rather than some hole in the wall, even for the same product you'll probably pay more. Here, the location is pretty good considering the transportation and the prices are really cheap considering the quality and the store's appearance.

Also, I sound like a caffeinated squirrel.

Now, my outfit. It was so amusing to play with the length and strings on the cape, seriously best $1.40 I ever spent. My program thinks I'm emo and antisocial anyway so I wore this not only because I like the cape but out of spite. They're just jealous they can't blend into the ~shadows.

Example of me blending into the shadows. I know, I'm so invisible.

I went to G-ma's again today (the walls look suitably Pepto Bismol, they're really outdoing themselves).

The jacket is really, REALLY odd, it's not tight fitting so it kind of bellows out, but it's just so wrong I like it. I haven't a clue what I'll wear it with, maybe the leather top I bought with it. All I need are leather and sheer paneled pants and I can look like a hooker / backup dancer for disco videos.

As for the publication dramas...

Imagine my feet going up the ass of every negative commenter concerning Winona and Tavi. Yes, my white frilley laced feet. Remember guys, for every person that's jealous you've got 50 people loving what you're doing. When you think about it, really, there's no such thing as bad press, right? (By the way, Tavi, my best friend wants to eat you. Not that that's weird or anything.)

Byes.

I love the "odd jacket" Like seriously I want to put it on and run around plucking petals off flowers and eating lots of sugar. Anyways I wanted to take the time to be a creeper and tell you that I am rather obsessed with your blog. By the way my converse clad foot will also be kicking that jessica lady. Tavi is cool. When I was 12 I like fashion and knew who Iggy Pop was, why is that so inconceivable?!

Ana July 25, 2008 9:45 AM

hey, where is g'mas located? im traveling up to ny/nj after being obsessed with you blog soley to shop at some of the stores you talk about

Cristina Berriz July 25, 2008 12:20 PM

Ahh really?! That's so awesome, im flattered xD

Gmas is in jersey city at 118 mallory avenue. Its more trash than treasure, took me about 45 min to shift through stuff to get those.

Email me and I can give you the run through of where to shop and such. :)

Belle July 25, 2008 12:41 PM

I love the video. It's cool to see where you shop. I wish I could go shop there, but it is far, far away. Your pictures today are really cool--nice cape.

Amelia July 25, 2008 12:42 PM

love capes, they're such a whimsical way to add a touch of mystery to an outfit.

Cupcakes and Cashmere July 25, 2008 12:47 PM

Great pieces, both that cape and that new lacy thing. This house you are "sitting" for (can you say it that way...?) is certainly inspiring a lot of pretty pictures.
And I read that NYmag article--so ludicrous! I can't believe they would question her authenticity and when not doubting her existence they seem to condescend the idea of a 12 with (gasp) a brain! I hope Tavi is doing well with all this wild hubbub...

The Clothes Horse July 25, 2008 2:28 PM

do you know of any thrift stores in new york or long island? everytime i try to look one up online, i usually get the salvation army. it would be alot of help:]

hey-krissy July 25, 2008 5:23 PM

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

That video is excellent therapy and the funniest thing ever. I've watched it 3 times, and I'm listening to it play while I write because every time you say "fat ho" I laugh. Immature? Yes. Do I care? No! Seriously cackled like a madwoman when you go "but they're a size 9 and only she can wear them because she's a loser" and it pans over to jew and she's just smiling. Pleaseeeee do more!!! Jew can be there, too. If I do end up coming back to NY we NEED NEED NEED to thrift. Particularly Hello Again. Damn. Or, since you're a pirate, you can steal everything from that store and then hop on your ship and come to Chicago. YIPPEE!!

Case in point: You're amazing and I'm getting back to blogging because of you, got it?

Tavi July 25, 2008 5:55 PM

Jiyeh July 25, 2008 10:37 PM

MAUREEN. July 26, 2008 6:28 AM

Haha sweet, ill do more soon then.

Belle July 26, 2008 9:28 AM

That cape is awesome, perfect for blending in ;D

That NYMag article was horrible, so I totally agree with the foot-in-the-ass attitude so much!

Anna Pope July 26, 2008 10:49 AM

bwahahah, badass mcgee. i love that i sound like an idiot. we should do more videos, they're fun. sometime next week i'm going to go to your house and then to g-ma's, maybe we could do one there? that cape is pretty chill. you should wear it when we go see batman, and then everyone will think you're a big nerd. however, i refuse to dress up like robin.

bewkworm July 26, 2008 5:31 PM

That jacket looks amazing! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

That looks like a Maria Clara top. It's part of the filipiniana outfit made popular during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. It's traditionally worn with the sleeveless top inside and a long billowy skirt with alternating panels of colour (red/black or navy/black). Traditional jewelry such as the tamborines and gold earrings and matching combs are worn on the hair.

I love you.

The white translucent jacket is similar to the national costumes of women in the Philippines (actually i feel pretty sure it is from the Philippines). In my country it's actually worn with the buttons in the back, and with a white undershirt beneath. Traditionally, the translucent cloth was woven from the fibers of the banana tree or from the pineapple plant :) (btw, we in Manila love your blog and your style)
