The other night I went to a Bettie Page tribute burlesque show to see my gal Dizzy Von Damn! twirl her tassels and shimmy her shakes. This is what I wore:
{Details}
- vintage polka dot scarf
- F21 dress
- H&M heart purse
- red heart ring
- gold bracelet from childhood
- Target knee socks
- Soho Lab heels
Miss Dizzy and I
In other news this weekend I have been obsessively listening to Europe (THEY ARE MAJESTIC) and some usual slow jamz. Shaun and I decided we are going to be K.P. and Envyi for Halloween this year. Whenever the gang and I are at a hotel we put on a lil youtube and listen to a lot of LL Cool J and old r&b jams and “Shawty Swing My Way” is on CONSTANT ROTATION. ‘EAR DIS:
Best slow tempo breakdown of your life:
Then I walked ova to him slowly
said I know u don’t know me
but this might be my only
shot at a Tenderoni…
So this costume also means it may finally be the time I get some long, luxurious acrylic nails to get into character. I want them to be dragon status where you can hear me tap tap tapping away on my computer very slowly. I never wanted to get fake nails before because I always had naturally long nails since the fifth grade. Yes diva at age ten, ok? Anyway I think they are amazing and hilar but I am not sure if I can handle that kind of ferociousness. Well maybe for two days. I might have to just dive right in and go for it. Kind of like when I tried contacts, tampons, and sushi for the first time.
Okay, I’m seriously into this shit right now. Can anyone link me to some fabulous nail art blog where I can look at pictures of these all day?
Bonus: why does this song actually make me SWOON still fourteen years later? HAHA
AND EDIT: I forgot to blast one of my faves!

I love DJ Barbi’s nails, because they’re totally like 80s Barbie nails. I couldn’t stand to wear acrylics, but I do want some fyoin-ass nail art.
AND YER SMOKIN HOT BEBE!

I lust after your polka dot scarf. Actually I just lust after you in that outfit. Mrowr.
I’m not sure about those nails. I had acrylic nails once in my life and the pain of tearing them off will make me never consider them again. My nails looked ratty for weeks afterward.
