shred shred shred

my shredding obsession has returned after seeing an incredible look from Karl Leuterio on LB. you can check out his looks on his lookbook, and he also has a blog.

i've always wanted to shred an entire shirt, but i've never sat down and just got on with it. i'm alos scared that i'd ruin it since i always get caught on things... i may have to go down to primark at some point and pick up a couple of plain men's t-shirts.

on a rather less exciting note, college starts up tomorrow. bugger.

BUT HERE ARE MY NAILS FOR FUNSIES.

i had them as model's own's plain blue before, with a blue tip on the ring finger. i got bored, as i do, and when nadia came round for stephen king saturday, we did nails. i ended up decorating the ring finger with blue polka dots, which i ended up disliking. i took it off today and went for the comic book strip nails, since this blue is the classic comic book blue, like in lichtenstein's whaam! i've done them before, but with a bunch of different patterns, and i really wanted to do them on all my nails.



i ended up doing the cartoon spiked balloons on thumb and ring finger; black lines and text, with white background and polka dots over the original blue. the index finger was light blue creme and dark blue glitter polka dots, and the middle and little fingers with just light blue creme polka dots. i need desperately to buy the seche vite quick dry topcoat; this manicure needs quite a few layers, and i get impatient waiting for them to dry. WHAM! CRASH! BANG! POW! i also considered BOOM! and KAPOW!

i'm watching cookingwithdog and pixiwoo on youtube at the moment. both are recommended; cookingwithdog is a japanese cooking channel narrated by a talking dog, seemingly, with a hilarious japanese accent, and pixiwoo is a makeup channel run by sam and nic, two gorgeous girls who do great tutorials, as well as really helpful guides on makeup.

i'm going to eat seaweed and learn how to make tempura now. and then go see how to look like veronica lake.

total eclipse of the heart

hi, i miss you.



added gold/neutral buttons instead of the shoelace that was holding the deep cut in the front together. i'll have to shred around it really carefully. when it finally gets summery i'm breaking these shirts out with denim shorts and flipflops. or for the beach. idk, they're kind of useful. i slouch around my house in the orange one.



isn't this so cute? i have completely the wrong skintone for pastel shades, but i can admire from afar. c2 mock tomorrow. i have to do so much better in this one.

grey's anatomy

I'm going to say this once. And then I am not going to say it again. I'm not broken. I'm not some psychodrama. My lack in interest in not having a child is not some pathology that you can pat yourself on the back for having diagnosed. I like my life. I like it the way it is and I don't want it to change. I thought I liked it with you in it. I hope I am not wrong.


ohh arizona.





i bought new sandals from primark - two quid and they're quite nice. the middle strap is braided.
i'm in a shredding frenzy once again.


started this today; primark men's gray shirt, s.



orange shredded tee - unfinished, but my favourite. BSX.



turquoise shredded tee - also unfinished, but i don't like this one so much - i unraveled the whole hem instead of doing it in sections, so it's formed strange rope-like strands. also BSX



my first go at a shredded tee - a top i didn't really like the fit of, but still liked the design. i had to pick around the seashell design as it was that imprinted shiny foil stuff, but i quite like it. i think i've shredded more of it since this picture.


and i'm ordering a fuckload of studs and safety pins. i might make one of those safety pin cross tshirts, they look kind of amazing.

or this.

and this caught my eye when i was surfin' the web; knitgraffiti. probably the prettiest graffiti ever..
