Tried my new Tracy Feith for Target bloomers. This is the first time I’m not Dressed Obsessed on here! I felt like a chorus girl slash candy pusher in these lil’ shawts. Inspired by a lil bit of this and this perhaps?

Ever since my friend Mrs. Trouble posted about these Jeffrey Campbell gold unicorn heels, I can’t stop thinking about them. I feel like the crazy little girl in The Red Shoes, dreaming about them morning, noon, and night. They remind me of the shoes my god Bjork wore to the Venice Film Festival in 2005 but 10 x better. Anyone know who designed these btw?

Let me just show you my friends, with the risk of scaring you, how this obsession is now revealing itself in some photoshop shoe art…(please don’t be scurred or ple dew actually…)

Dear Shoe Gawds,

Please help me find these magnificent creatures in an 8.5, or actually two 8.5s and one 9 and I will forever be yours.

PS. Mod Cloth has them in beige but you know how I LOVE ME GOLD!

I wanna wear slips and Docs. Like when I was sixteen and thought the sex scene in Mad Love was “really erotic.”

I’ve been daydreaming of these. They remind me of my favorite place in the world.

I want them in a 14 hole though. Is it real or just a fantasy? Let me know.

In the meantime. Start the weekend off with some rock.

And roll.

and a shooting craps pose.

Act coy to every boy.

And in the hands of the devil you will become clean.

Last weekend I went to the Annual Bug Fair at the L.A. Natural History Museum! The last time I attended the fair was in 2006 where I even ate crickets and columbian ants insect chef prepared by an insect chef . SICK! They were not delicious btw. I heard they even had tarantula tempura this year. M’Lord! VOMITOUS VON VOMITZ.

You can find a lot of great insect-themed gifts from an assortment of vendors, including live bugs to take home!

There was a time in my life I would never have done this but I’m a different woman now. Too bad I couldn’t put it on my head like my hat.

I can’t believe I’ve written 200 blogs! Is that right? Is that math correct? ME?! Talkin’ that much gibberish to you guys in two hundred different instances?! Well… I guess that’s not too hard to believe. All those years spent…being a shy, soft-spoken, unicorn-collecting, Fred Savage love letter-writing misfit in my youth…all those bottled up dreams and thoughts have to come out SOMETIME.

Thank you for hanging out around here you fine ass mutha f***’rs!!!!!

And a bonus serenade:

Did any of you check out the Tracy Feith for Target collection this weekend? I’d have to say the collection was not bad overall. There were a few things that were a lot prettier in person and on than I had expected, and there were also some that looked better from faaaar away (MONET) when up close it looked like gramma’s couch upholstery. For instance, this dress that made me look like a Honolulu hooker.

I am in LOVE with this cobalt blue dress so much I already wore it on Sunday to the Bug Fair. It has a front zipper for easy access (ESCOOS ME) and a hot pink eyelet trim that even matched my hot pink toes.

I usually don’t wear shorts, but these black judy bloomers will look adorable with fishnets, crazy heels and a top hat when I’m practicing my kicklines and tapdancing this summer.

This bright-colored flower print maxi is perfect for sipping pina coladas (sorry BUT I GOTTA! right click and open in new tab for FULL SOUNDTRACK EFFECT) this coming three-day weekend but I passed on it…for now.

I’d have to say the pièce de résistance has to be the most expensive item in the collection, the cropped leather jacket, which is WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! Sadly I haven’t found one in my size but I did try one on to see if I was feelin’ it…

HELLO! How badass is that little jacket? No doubt a cropped leather jacket is on the top of my fashion wish list right now. I don’t know if I’ll get this Tracy Feith one though. It’s 140 bones and sold out anyways!

How about you? Anybody else score anything good from Tracy Feith for Target?
