I’m a bit torn about fashion photography. I love the artistry involved in some shoots, but hate to support the rampant pressure to develop eating disorders in the industry.
Lucia Giacani has a series I can’t help but love. Matching makeup to anatomical models? Yes please!
I really want to do a shoot like this with the anatomical torso model my best friend gave me years ago.
Do you have a favorite fashion photographer?
I happen to be an extremely feminine creature in all ways, but sometimes I take note of the fact that if I were a man I would undoubtedly have a collection of bizarre and interesting ties.
Tie Story makes me want to just start wearing this accessory myself with button down shirts (the one problem is that standard ties are WAY too big for my diminutive frame…maybe I can find skinny ones).
My other absolute favorite store in the tie market is Cyberoptix. Great stuff.
Here’s an odyssey of Halloween shoes, some manufactured, some hand painted. Sorry I can’t include all the links to them (pesky hand pain)!

Now, this had to have started as a joke; overinflated egos toying with masses for fun. I could launch into a massive sociological tirade, but lucky for the folks at A.P.C. and the rash of gullible humans who forked over $120 for this thing…my typing abilities are currently restricted.
I don’t know what’s more discouraging: the fact that this shirt took a COLLABORATION to design (as if it were groundbreaking and not the most common, standard piece of clothing ever sold on this planet, and for under 10 bucks)…or the fact that it actually sold out.

I’m starting a new feature on this blog entitled “I Don’t Get Fashion.” Due to my health, it has been two years since I’ve seen the outside world or been to a clothing store. But sometimes I glimpse a trend online, or through some sort of media, and emerge from the vision utterly baffled…like I’m looking at prototypes of an alien invention.
Disclaimer: I’m not trying to hate on anyone or anything. These fashion comments are coming from a former(ish) goth. Let’s not take ourselves too seriously, okay?
Anyway, Fashion, I know you must continue blasting out ever-new trends for eager consumers. But sometimes I still don’t get you.
First case in point: Drop Crotch Slim Harem Pants.
If one needs that “billowy upper leg (only)” feeling, or room for an industrial sized diaper, I guess one has come to the right place. Why not cover those pesky calves snuggly and allow plenty of open thigh chafing space?
You may be asking “what is the perfect body type to pull off this style?” And the answer is none. I’ll save us all the magazine article commentary and cut straight to the truth: no body type can “rock” this. Or even climb the ladder into “mildly passable.”
I can’t help but think each pair is a gruesome tailoring mistake for which any customer would instantly demand a refund (and maybe sue for damages).
I am asking, un-ironically, for anyone to speak out in support of this trend. If you love ’em, let me hear the baggy-crotch backlash! Or feel free to ponder their existence out loud.
Oh, NAILED IT…you had me at “nebula.”
Finally, nail art for nerd girls! I’m just posting the nebula series because they are my favorite. The creators use actual nebulae instead of artistic fabrications because they “didn’t want to piss Neil deGrasse Tyson off.” Bonus points to them! Other great nerd themes await us as well.

I have a strange love for the kitschy goodness that is Bakelite.
One of the first plastics made from synthetic components, Bakelite was used for its electrical nonconductivity and heat-resistant properties in electrical insulators, radio and telephone casings, and such diverse products as kitchenware, jewelry, pipe stems, and children’s toys. Bakelite was designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark in 1993 by the American Chemical Society in recognition of its significance as the world’s first synthetic plastic.
My favorite pieces, without a doubt, are the clocks, radios…or any combination thereof.
I’d like to own one of these one day.

LympheDIVAs is a product line close to my heart. I would have loved to treat my mom to one of these fantastic medical garments when her cancer resulted in lymphedema.
I adore the idea of adding a little flare to medical necessities, of “taking back” an illness by utterly ROCKING physical change. I am now marked by scars from the unfortunate health incidents that have befallen me…and I hope to recover enough to rejoin the world and wear those scars proudly.
There are some great designs for sleeves and gauntlets…

God, is that you?
No wait, is that you, God?
Not like this.
I’m not sure if this gaping chasm counts as a “neckline.”
The single best, or maybe worst, job in the world.
Now, this is some food I could eat. Does anyone have a copy of this?
Keep in mind they use the word “enjoy” in the broadest possible sense.
This fellow is very open minded…
And let that be a reminder to stay open-minded about the amorous preferences of others.
Wow. This is a truly incredible wedding display. These folks chose a Dark Circus theme and went all out with it.
I think it’s wonderful that this couple designed such a unique and visually stunning event.
The decorations, the lighting, the food and the clothing are all perfect for the idea.
No one involved in this wedding will ever forget the experience. See more pictures here.
