your head is boring.

Luckily, you can peruse headmistress and buy enough sparkle-feather crowns to make you feel like fairy princess. Or, in the event that you are male, they have feather rings. For serious. But be forewarned, my friend says wearing a feather ring is a risky and adrenaline-filled adventure because “it might molt.”

punk rocker kitty

disclaimer: normally we do not shave our cat like this, but he got his hair all tangeled in a mess and couldn’t get loose. hence, he turned out to be the raddest cat around. i bet you’re jealous your kitty doesn’t have this kind of style.

outfit post.

back when I was your age: USA, 1975

the great outdoors: yes. oversized circus tents: yes. long surfer hair and  patchy mustaches: yes. tight jeans and mini longboards: um, duh.

make this: spray painted accessories

when i found an old and terribly colored clutch in my closet my first thoughts were of the trash can. however in need of a new clutch i got somewhat crafty and spray painted it. gold spray paint is my quick fix for everything but i thought i might be pushing it too far with the clutch. the gold spray paint has yet to fail me and i no longer need to buy a clutch.

how to acid wash your life.

So…about that acid-washed shirt you possibly bought at american apparel? I’m sorry, you got ripped off. Because bleach is $1.0o. And a sink is free (unless you live in a cardboard box, in which case, crash a party and acid-wash in some drunk person’s sink.) Steps: dunk clothing in water. douse in bleach. let lighten to a shade that makes you happy, usually takes about five min. wash. repeat with pretty much anything except cats. Note: dark jeans take about an hour, and some clothes are weird, so don’t cry over spilled bleach. 

wear this: catskill mountain moccasins.

This sick little shoe is custom-made by some delightful artisan-hippies in Woodstock, New York. The company was born when the couple met at a Grateful Dead concert in Berkeley, and spent six years on the road perfecting the art of badass moccasins. Normally pirates and road warriors wear them. But this is why you should too: a. the smithee promised me that they last for decades (can you say that about your Urban Outfitters Boots? Liar.) b.) You can customize them to be any height (like thigh-high!) and there are a bazillion shiny buttons to choose from (like skull and cross bones!) and c.) they are made from buffalo.

So I was trying to get a picture of a lame-o bus station Sunday morning in Beijing, but then in the background, I caught this girl and her boyfriend. I zoomed in, duck-girl style: she’s flinging her hair, taking on the world, leading her bf in a I-have-him-but-don’t-need-him kind of way, hiding her hangover with sick sunnies, totally poised, and generally just capslocking in China. This week, if you want to leave the house in sweats and sucky life attitude, remember: no one in a foreign country is going to blog about you.
