Mercury in Retrograde

Dun dun DUN!!

Starting May 7th and continuing on through May 31st, the planet Mercury will officially be in RETROGRADE!
*evil snarl*

In case you didn't know, Mercury in retrograde is an extra special bit of astrological nasty. It affects anything dealing with communication, transportation and education by ... well, I'll just give you an excerpt from my go to astrology website.

Mercury retrograde gives rise to personal misunderstandings; flawed, disrupted, or delayed communications, negotiations and trade; glitches and breakdowns with phones, computers, cars, buses, and trains. And all of these problems usually arise because some crucial piece of information, or component, has gone astray or awry.

It is not excatly wise to make important decisions while Mercury is retrograde, since it is likely that such decisions will be clouded by misinformation, poor communication and careless thinking. Mercury is all about mental clarity and the power of the mind, so when Mercury is retrograde these intellectual characteristics tend to be less acute than usual, as the critical faculties are dimmed. Make sure you pay attention to the small print!


Typically, I am unaware of a bad retrograde period for myself, but I've definitely felt this one for a couple of days and now that I am reminded (thanks to Jennifer Worick) I shall take proper precautions.

In short, when Mercury goes into retrograde, I turn into an antisocial hermit due to my inability to deal with stress and miscommunication.

What can I say, it's my ruling planet.

Pre -Sunrise

The world of twilight before the dawn is both beautiful and mystical, but most of all it is fleeting. No matter how much you hope and dream, it is impossible to live your life here.

Of course pictures never look the same as the real thing.

One night stands

The new Colgate Wisp...

...making the walk of shame that much easier.

Bacon Blasphemy

Baconnaise... Have you seen it? I have and I won't be the first to tell you that just looking at it makes you want to barf. Would you seriously eat something that looks like baby vomit? I'm sure it doesn't smell far off either, though I can safely say that I haven't the faintest idea as I am more than just vehemently opposed to going anywhere near the shit.

What is America coming to when you can spread fucking bacon chunks on your, probably already heinously disgusting, sandwich and/or burger?

Where do you get off J&D's? Someone should kick you in the nuts for coming up with such a stupid idea, or perhaps we should kiss you for coming up with possibly the most ingenious way of killing lard asses across the globe, starting here in the good ol' US of A.

Obesity is a disease.

Michael Jackson wearing Balmain

Fall/Winter 2009 woman's wear for Mr. Jackson?
Say it ain't so...



If I said no, I would be lying. This fresh old bitch has some how become a muse for Balmain designer Christophe Decarnin and I can't say that I don't approve. That shirt is ... kinda fierce.

Gap Fall 2009

Now I'm not a huge fan of Le Gap, I disapprove of the way that they treat children ... specifically Indian and Arabian children, and I think their clothes are not always made with durability in mind (perhaps it is because of their position on labor?), but their Fall 2009 line up is looking rather enticing.

I have to get my hands on one of those Navajo knit sweaters. A couple chunky scarves couldn't hurt ... and even those chinos aren't looking so bad. (Oh and I want that parka in the last picture, it shall be mine.)

Why am I even talking about fall right now...? It's kind of pathetic seeing as I don't even have my summer wardrobe together yet. Seeing as summer isn't even fucking here.

Truer words were never spoken...

New Purchase

I woke up today a little down and decided that shop-therapy was really the best solution, so I decided to treat myself to a new pair of a boots. It has been quite a long time since I have bought anything for myself and I figured that I sort of deserved it ... even though I didn't.

What's done is done, I say.

Now, pictures.




They are Type Z Miles from Zappos your best friend when it comes to spur of the moment shoe shopping (providing that you already know your size). Free shipping both ways ... how can you beat that? If for any reason you don't like them or your dumb ass bought them in the wrong size, send them back and they'll refund or exchange.

Fast, friendly, efficient. A+

Now they just need to get here already. Next day air shipping anyone?

MAC for Hello Kitty and BDSM

I love that MAC, Hello Kitty, and BDSM are all coming together under the same roof. As batty as this Ad is, it sort of makes me want to go out and buy some lipstick ... perhaps it's all of the subliminal messages. You decide.

Kai Kühne Fall 2009 Ready to Wear

Kai Kühne never fails to amaze, and it doesn't seem as if he gets too tired of it either. His collections to me are always so trim and neat but with a sort of attitude that's exceptionally difficult to pull off and still maintain that sense of chicness and those clean fucking lines.

I felt that his use of geometrical shapes and myriad of different textures was flawlessly executed.

Does anyone know who the model above is?

Even his mens wear is amazing.
