Too Hot for Politikin'

It's gettin' too hot for politikin' here in Texas. (I say in a rocking chair

as I fan my sweaty face with a straw hat). What I mean by that is....it's 

too hot for layers. It's officially skirt/shorts/tank top/naked time here 

in the Lone Star State. I took these and promptly peeled all of it off 

and got myself poolside. (Happy Memorial Day BTW). 

I know I have dumb face/bitch face? in these photos, but sometimes it's hard to get 

enthusiastic when you're taking photos of yourself. 

Actually you feel pretty ridiculous. I'll start trying harder. Either that or cutting

out my face all together, for all of our sakes.

I LOVE the shape of these shoes. 

The piano is a nice prop for photos. I can successfully play Ice Dance

and I'm reeeal sorry cause my neighbors hear it twice a day. 

I'm working on other things too. I took lessons when I was 8, and it's all 

rattling around in the back of my brains somewheres. 

If you don't already know, I have a serious affinity for Grandpa watches.... 

any sort of time telling device actually.

Chere and I found an "Everything's a Dollar" Thrift Store yesterday. 

I love it when you stumble upon things like that. 

Lace Shirt: H&M, Ginghan Shirt: Target, Jeans: UO, Jewels: Thrifted, Grandma and Stolen :)

Shoes: Seychelles 

Dress Like You're 15.

I'll tell you what. Sometimes I'm just standing in my under-roos trying to 

figure out some amazing thing to wear, and it just doesn't work. 

So, what I do in those situations (and what I suggest you do too) is revert to young adulthood....

where black was pink and your eyeshadow matched your converse.

 I was sort of feeling that on the day I wore this. 

Shirt: Thrifted Anne Klein. Skirt: ? Navy Boots: Walmart

Socks: ? Headband: Target Earrings: Gold Pelicans from a shell shack 

All other Jewelry: Thrifted.

More Sick Dudes

I'm pretty sure I'm going to make this a regular thing. At least once a month. 

I stumble upon too many incredible photos of reeeaal sick dudes not to share. 

In case you don't know what a "sick dude" is....

to put it simply, it's a guy who don't give no ef, and for the purposes of this blog,

 who has mad style.  It could be that random homeless man 

riding his bike wrapped in aluminum foil...it could even be your own dad. 

For examples, see below:

THE SPECIALS

Multiple layers in the front.

Giant reflective sunglasses.

Their facial expressions in general.

The guy in the back has no front teeth. He's rockin it HARD. 

LEONARD BERNSTIEN

He's about to kick over that mic and Catch the moon with a one-handed catch. 

Also, his boots are super-fly. 

Please tell me you got that reference to West Side Story

 DENNIS HOPPER AND NEIL YOUNG

Double Doubler. 

You wish you could find anything either of them are

 wearing on ebay for under $80.

Dennis Hopper could've been at his most ultimate sickest in Water World. 

Note: Eye Patch. 

 ERNEST HEMMINGWAY

No explanation here. 

DESHAWN STEVENSON

Just because you have a neck tattoo, doesn't make you a sick dude

But if that neck tattoo is Abe Lincoln it does!

(A neck tattoo of Abe Simpson would also work). 

JOHN STEINBECK

Any man who can sport a Captains Hat AND a Standard Poodle 

wins my heart forever.

Speaking of sick, J bought stripped harem pants from the ladies section 

at Buffalo Exchange today. He's so damn sexy.
