"goddammit"

That is a word I've been using a lot lately.

Today, I came home and found a package. Usually, this makes me excited. I love mail. And packages. But when I opened it up, I found the Sass & Bide black rat leggings I ordered in January in a moment of pure lunacy/brilliance (take your pick).

In January, I should also mention that my goal for Fall '08 was to look like a vampire. I'm pretty sure I would be asked to leave (and possibly never come back) if I were to show up to work in my black rats, frilly white blouse (Edwardian style), leather jacket, white powder skin, and deep red lips. All right, that is an exaggeration.

But the rats have got to go. I've stuck them up on Ebay, hoping to break even. They are quite beautiful, which makes it even harder to let go. But I seriously cannot wear them (or afford them) right now.

Besides, now I want to look like an Acne/Isabel Marant posterchild for the winter.

  4. ok, we have totally different secrets! i'm super jealous about yours, though, it's going to be AH MAZE ING. my friend rented a place in the 5th for a month during the summer, it's so much better than a hotel room. you should totally do a bike tour (i left a comment about it in my post about biking in nyc), or get a credit card with a smart chip so you can rent their public-access bikes!
