"Everything's okay now, thanks to Misty the Mighty!"

Bandana: vintage, Lace cami: kohl's, Cardigan: Target, Ankh necklace: Minnesota Rennaisance Festival, Yellow shorts: Target, Misty button: Anime Detour, Tights: ?, Shoes: Chuck Taylor

So maybe it's not as authentic as when I cosplayed as her last spring, but this outfit is totally Misty inspired!

Yes, the one and only, the girl who gets way too much attention on this blog than can possibly be good for her redhead. As soon as I put this ensemble together, I thought of my idol. The quirky color combination and funky short-and-chucks pairing is SO her.

 I will forever have that tiny little longing to be Misty, the dream that occurred from a very young age, and I still jump on every chance I get to dress like her. My wardrobe will always contain bits and pieces of Misty-esque garb (she was the reason I first bought red chucks at the ripe young age of eleven, shoes that have become a signature of mine for the past four years), and I still tend to get that inkling desire to quote her in certain conversations. She taught me that tough girls stand up for themselves, and that the best thing in the world is being a woman. So I guess these posts are always, well, odes to Misty, who inspired me to be who I am today, in style and in life.

I bought this at the convention this year, isn't it cute????

Here's an interesting challenge for all of you: do your own cartoon outfits! Put together an outfit inspired by your favorite cartoon character (not full-on cosplay, just an everyday casual outfit like I did above) Do a blog post about it and put a link to it in the comments! GEEKS UNITE!

The Way of the Weird

So I haven't gotten that tripod set up yet.

This is what I wore on Friday, as it was Spirit Week and that day's theme was "Super Fly Friday"

Yeaaaahhh......about that title.....

The obnoxious Marilyn Monroe t-shirt is about 3 sizes too big for me and tied up in the back, but it was on the clearance rack at Target and simply too cool to pass up. At least two of my friends said that they were going to go out and buy one too.

Hair clip: gift, necklace: Ebay, T-shirt and skirt: Target, Leggings: Old Navy, Shoes: Converse

Speaking of Spirit Week, I as ever the spirited high school girl attended the Homecoming dance last night. Super-awesome pictures soon to come.

On an unrelated yet wonderful note, I am in yet another play: my school's rendition of The Adding Machine by Elmer Rice. Take a look at some production photos from other theaters:

My character unfortunately is not pictured in any of these photos. She goes by the name of Judy O'Grady, and is a wild, funny, eccentric 1940's Southern prostitute. Yup. That's me. The sci-fi hooker. I am beyond excited to have this role. The play itself takes place in a sort of post-apocalyptic 1940's dystopian society, and follows the life of the miserable Mr. Zero in his unhappy marriage and boring job that he's fired from after holding it for 25 years. Essentially, it's a sci-fi dark comedy about a guy whose life sucks. But many other things happen too. If you ever get a chance to see it, I would recommend it highly. It's a fascinating expressionist piece, and if done right, will be very entertaining.

Since I've picked up the habit of skipping from topic to topic, one of my honors English assignments was to create a poster of yourself reading your favorite book. This was my photo:

Embrace the Weird.

Speaking of weird, Arabelle of Fashion Pirate posted a picture of herself wearing THESE shoes:

I WANT THEM.

And that will be all.

Mental dump of lazy day awesomness

The critics hate, but Charlie likes :3

I'm quite excited actually! I've always been a fan. I'm redecorating my room so I think I'm gonna get myself one of those pillows come September. The best part? It will go with absolutely NOTHING I own :D

Ice cube trays?!?!?!!? DO WANT!

I FINALLY went out and got myself this shirt. I love being politically active about things I care about. Just fucking love it.

That's my mental dump of today....hope you all enjoyed the color. Out. 

Oh wait, one last thing:

A hot dog and a farmer cop always buy the best hookers. 

Oh the good times I share with my friends on summer nights.

(if you don't know, I'm the one in the red)

Adios.

I am indeed a Ravenclaw, and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was indeed utterly fantastic.

But how are either of those surprising?

Mini Me

This girl looks almost identical to I did as a child.

I feel like it might be a long lost video of me that my parents uploaded to youtube in secret.

I loved Star Wars as a kid too.

Still do now.

And for the record, I called him Obi Kenobi when I was her age too.

Star Wars PSA

BAHAHA
