Senseless Fashion

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Lately, I’ve developed a liking to the following:

  1. Crocs
    For shame! I used to be the world’s biggest loather of crocs, but lately, I’ve found myself becoming an advocate of them. I have not blurted this out to the world by donning a pair myself (that is to say, have not yet donned a pair simply because i have not purchased a pair), but I have considered laying down a pretty penny or two to buy a pair of these. In a dark gray, please.
  2. Pantless tights
    I know. They were all the rage of yesteryear or perhaps the year before that, I vaguely recall seeing a fashion-forward girl wearing a pair of pantless tights [interjection: I almost typed in 'tightless pants'! which I suppose would not be wearable] back in 2006/2007. I have pairs of black, brown, and gray pantless tights. I am itching to buy a pair of something in a really bold color, perhaps orange, and pair that with a purple dress, and top that off with a green hat. I kid, I wouldn’t want to be mistaken for an eggplant/carrot - eggrot? Carplant?
  3. Anything with pockets
    And big ones at that. The more the merrier, especially on dresses. It’s the only opportunity I have to go out into the public sans-purse. Purses are the worses and I have an awful tendency to leave them behind at restaurants, dressing rooms, and steep cliffs. I do not ever foresee myself leaving behind any pockets at aforementioned places.

Obsessions as of Late

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

I go through various bouts of obsessions from collecting certain objects to listening to one particular song to eating a type of food. Here are a few recent obsessions of mine:

  • scrabulous
    I have always had a love for word games, scrabble in particular and the online version scrabulous, is quite possibly what keeps me up at night sometimes (read: every other night). It has gotten to the point where I have even replaced all instances of ‘glamorous’ with ’scrabulous’ in Fergie’s song Glamorous. In all honesty, scrabulous rolls of the tongue a little bit better. If you’re an avid scrabulousist/scrabulousian/scrabulousite, feel free to find me in the Speedy Circuit or Sowpods Junction room. I go by the alias ‘dtothev’.
  • … with no handlebars
    I am not a fan of the song by Flobots, but for some reason I have taken to tacking on the phrase ” … with no handlebars” at the end of nearly anything the BF says. It got old and decrepit even before I began this obsession.
  • bokeh (read wikipedia’s defintion)
    Ever since acquiring a 50mm f/1.8 lens in May of this year, ninety percent of my photographs have a noticeable smattering of bokeh in them.
