broken.

sunnies- RIP

i broke these sunglasses today.

and some glassware, last night on the sidewalk.

and one of my dear friends, her heart is broken too.

i guess some days are better for the crash than they are for the sticking together.

here's to tomorrow, mend us mother moon.

a broken poem from several years back:

broken is 

a cracked acorn 

on the sidewalk

heel crushed

squirrel food 

in the sun

fractured glass 

in slow motion

all crash 

and cracks

and shards

then under microscope--

long examination

sighing

these are the things 

we do with broken.

heat drunk dog ass love.

cropped tee- american apparel

denim skirt- vintage 

This was from a few days ago when it wasn't 90 degrees out. I'm really into solid colors right now.

I think I fell in love with a man at the postal store. I was dizzy though, from carrying a 70lb box filled with art books from my car, so who can really know? The girl behind the counter scolded me very seriously saying that's what the dolly's for. I liked her. The girl. She had style. I told him his dog had a huge ass. The man I love. He was sending a letter to Ireland. The stamp was round with a globe on it. I wanted a round stamp. Maybe I just love his dog. An old wrinkled pear. Such a MASSIVE rear. Funny like, ya know? It's too hot to think clearly. He wore running shoes. Orange and yellow. Which I didn't love. But I think besides that, yeah. Although it could be that dog. Or the girl. She had style.

Wore this last night to The Evening Hour with Sean Conroy, the monthly talk show I work on. Got to hang with my girl Tiffany Teaze post show over some drinks...I taught her how to order well whiskey on the rocks like all the old men/I do. We bonded over mutual interests like scabs and compulsive hair removal. I had a near death experience with some hiccups then drunkenly inhaled a plate of fish and fries before pouring myself into bed. Carl licked my healing tattoo until I fell asleep. 

All for now. Have a great weekend bbz!

tell me i'm the sweetest.

aren't i just the sweetest

sneaker bottom baby in a dress

peeling black scab skin

three witches neath the full full moon

and the beast, pink tongue and wagging

leading this sweet sun parade

through the badland crosswalks

of the not for longs,

 the bank pirate thieves

hissing through their gold teeth

paper sack tongue and dead eyes

staring straight ahead

on a city bus.

tell me i'm the sweetest.

man we grow old.

all vintage everything

I am now 25 and wildly disappointed that I have not experimented with my belt collection as belly chains until this moment. It's all part of growing up I suppose. One day you wake up and find yourself a quarter of a century old and having never realized your full accessory potential. Here's to my mid twenties and my midriff adornment. Thanks to all my chippies who sent me real nice birthday wishes via the interwebs and especially to the ones who came out to share it with me. 

never do what we're told

we may not grow money

but man we grow old

man we grow old.

sunnies- target

This is what I wore to see my dear pal Sean Conroy headline at the Improv on Saturday night. What a huge accomplishment! I'm so proud of him and the leaps his career is taking this year. He had an amazing line up including THE BAM, (Maria Bamford) who I got to see live for the first time. She is one of my favorite comics hands down and had a killer set. 

Also this weekend I saw my favorite band WHY? play at the Anticon Record Label's 15th Birthday Party at the Echoplex. I have never been in a room with so many people who knew Yoni's lyrics. It really was an incredible group mind experience. I love that man's words and that band's music and was so overwhelmed by the voices and bodies that crawled out of the woodworks to come share it. 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hot dog.

dress- tunnel vision vintage

sunnies- target

My car nearly overheated today and I had to stop on my way home from the nanny job and let the poor ole jeep cool off. I couldn't have asked for a better stranded-on-la-cienega-outfit. This dress is so light and airy and perfectly patterned. I'd have died in anything heavier. I had to wait for the car temp to drop and refill the coolant so I shuffled around Target for about an hour and ate McDonald's chicken nuggets then quickly regretted it and spent a good 15 minutes in a gross public restroom hating my life. 

So happy to see this bb when I finally made it home. We played with the pig puppet until the little guy tuckered out. Now Carl is napping and I am trying to forever forget the taste of those processed nuggets. Stay cool my chippies, its brutal out there.

moon necklace- gift

sunglasses- forever21 

boots- thrifted

I am an extremely cyclical person. If you follow me on instagram you've seen several pictures of me in this amazing tee, countless shots in the same boots, and of course these bad vibes. I've been wearing some variation of the same outfit for the fast two days, and before that I wore my previous post's outfit three days straight. Sometimes I find a combination I like a declare "UNIFORM" and wear only that for days or weeks at a time before happening upon a new combination and cycling through that one for the next several days. I guess this habit isn't very conducive to fashion blogging but I never promised variety. I'm just documenting what I wear. And boy do I like to wear an outfit out. 

This moon necklace is one of my dearest possessions. It was given to me along with several other vintage pieces by a friend's mother. Also isnt my shirt nugget the best???
