as i wait anxiously for my film from our magical southern gypsy tour to be processed and scanned, i shall begin the humongous task that is posting the vintage clothes that i'm selling.... i have about a million really cool vintage pieces that i have collected carefully from all over throughout the years, so i will just do one at a time. always quality, authentic, affordable, and unique pieces for your growing steez. if interested in details of purchasing items, please check out my ebay account!
(also, if anyone knows how to set photos as links to go directly though ebay, that would be an awesome tip. thanks. i'm having some issues with the account so it will be fixed tomorrow for purchase. sorry.)*

Multiple Personalities.*

while preparing for our upcoming and highly anticipated road trip through the south, i consider how i may very well stick out in swampy bayou towns full of good old boys with guns and missing teeth. this, of course, is a huge generalization and sounds quite ignorant, i know. i could find myself totally surprised. new orleans, baton rouge, birmingham, charelston, savannah, jackson, memphis, mobile....so many places to see. sometimes i dress like a grandma, and sometimes an art teacher. sometimes, a retro librarian, and sometimes like i'm 13 again.... what do i want to put out there, and how do i want to represent myself in this totally foreign place where i can try to be anonymous or stick out like a sore thumb? i wouldn't give it so much thought if i didn't have any tricks up my sleeves....heres hoping for beautiful photo ops....*

Victorian Darlings.*

i really wish victorian booties like this were still readily available in such quality and variety....


i would love to dress like these ladies, bring back words like "proper" and "dapper" et all. hipsterdom embraces all things trashy and kitch and that's great, but i still wish i had a chance to witness the days of politeness. this old woman was trying to find a moment of solace amongst tourists. i try to find those moments every day as well, but as i confiscated a knife today and sent 5 kids home for being truant and high and bandaged another kid's bleeding middle finger and tried to stop a girl from beating someone up, it's no easy task. i'd be willing to bet i would be told to slap their hands with a yardstick if we were in these days....not that i'm a fan of corporeal punishment. but still.*
