big, fat, sequin-wookie

lately, i seem to be in the business of procuring random-crazy-crap that 95% of the population would shun me for wearing. my latest endeavor, or shall i say, crap-hunting expedition was my little thrift store escapade this past weekend.

30 minutes after i entered the store, i was leaving with a GIGANTIC bag stuffed full of something furry and something glittery (drag queen glittery). sequined-wookie. it was hot out. i felt ridiculous.

but fur is in this season, is it not? so are sequins... and i have a soft spot for both-- or just all things ridiculous.

so here we have, exhibit a: sequin thingy that i thought was a little micro dress from the 80's.



...turned out to have 6 inch slits up the sides...



...and is a size too big. So i plan to belt it, sew up the slits, and take in the sides. voila! perfect dress (with leggings, preferably latex ones) for a night out.

exhibit b: the faux fur wooly mammoth. i just grabbed it off the racks because i saw fur.



it turned out ot be a size large, whilst i'm a size small.



clearly that didn't stop me from buying it. because, hell, i can belt it and have some exaggerated shoulders, which are totally in right now, which means i can get away with it.



i want to find a fatter belt for it... or maybe i'll just be cruella de ville for halloween. ;)

oh yeah, and thank's ryder for saying the furry beast was kate moss like!! <3 nothing like a mental boost right after your roommate comes in and exclaims how ugly the coat is-- and hopes that i never wear it. haha
