the whole leather-harness-as-fashion-accessory is nothing new, but i have as yet been unable to find something suitable, as all of my ebay searches tend to yield fetish stores replete with whips and ball gags.
so, i don't know why i've been putting this off for so long... but for christmas, i think i'm going to treat myself to a zana bayne triple wing harness. not sure yet if i should go for the low wings or the vertical...
going to the GWAR show tonight... and somehow volunteered to be in charge of the photographers for the show, which involves escorting them past security and hanging with them in front of the barricade for the first few songs.
this is usually pretty cool, but most bands don't shower their fans with fake blood and... other bodily fluids. needless to say, i'm wearing a white t-shirt. also wearing sequined booty shorts. it all makes perfect sense.
a seriously rad girl that i used to work with (hi kim!) just started up an online vintage store called through being cool. not only is the clothing well picked, the website phenomenal and the photography (by another excellent human, mark) totally epic, but the name is a reference to one of my favourite albums of the late 90's by saves the day.

i had a ghetto disposable camera, so i'll have to wait until the roll is done to display the evidence. i have to say, though, it turned out pretty epic.
i felt a strange compulsion to go into holt renfrew today. i have been in there several times during the last few months, looking for a specific pair of boots that were never there.
but something just told me that today was the day. lo and behold, one pair left. in black. size 39.
and i don't like to talk about how much things cost, but i'm sure everyone has a pretty good idea of the range. here's the important part: they came to... $666. it's like the dark lord himself led me in there by the hand and delivered them unto me.
found audrey cantwell's website through childhood flames. she does gorgeous work with draped leather and there are some beautiful crushed velvet pieces.
i LOVE the styling of the howl collection. why does the black lipstick look so good?
