Mea Culpa

I know I've been somewhat MIA (not the singer!) over the last week, but it's been really hard to get posts up when you get distracted by random videos and then open up multiple tabs that cause Firefox to crash. And I really haven't been paying too much attention to New York Fashion Week* because most of it just bored me (the exceptions included Rachel Comey and Rodarte...no gushing about the latter here just yet, other bloggers did it earlier and better). But my head has been mostly in non-fashion places, aside from the odd look-in at Facehunter:I'm not really in the habit of pulling pictures off there to yammer like a fangirl about how cool the people look even if I feel like doing just that all the time, but this girl really does blow me away. On one hand there's the adorable hair and glasses that would've probably got her snapped anyway, and then there is what I can only describe as...artwork. Across her sternum. Which looks almost as if it could have been drawn by Rob Ryan. And to top it all, she has the practically stained-glasslike outline of a butterfly in the exact same place that I want my second tattoo. If I were wearing a hat or other form of head covering right now (preferably the very cute one in the picture below), I'd be sweeping it right off in a salute to her. In a funny way, she reminds me a little of the Vogue Italia print/body-paint editorial...which I really loved the sight of.

As for this image, it serves to remind me just how much I like the idea of putting random things on my head. I know spring is all about colour, but I just love the way this girl manages to work her predominantly neutral colour palate into something that's actually not drab or boring at all. The trick might just lie in the pistachio tights (and the headpiece, of course, along with that nifty little double-button closure at the neck of her coat)..anything that triggers food associations is a good thing in my book! Neutral + yummy=perfect.

Also, I found a butt bow in the course of my ramblings over the Internet (here's one knowing wink to everyone who figures out just where this one came from- I'm sorry it's tough if you have nothing but the picture to go on, but there might be random gushings over the source of the image- the animated series/manga that is, not the website- on this blog at some point in the future). I think Wendy might like this one...if she isn't thoroughly sick of me and my found butt bows by now, that is :)..

PS: Dreamecho asked me, a couple of posts ago, if I was a TFS member. Well, I'm not, and I'm starting to feel the pinch of not being able to search those forums (I've been visiting them anyway for the last two years)..so if any of you nice people have an invite to spare, can you send it my way, please?
* Copenhagen Fashion Week though, is another matter.
