Think I'll wait till half past 8

to dress myself divine.

denim shorts from DeBois, white/cork platforms F21

10:30 I'm in rags,

a slutty look,

accompanies my questionable gaze,

through the strobe light and the haze.

I found the white lingerie onesie two years ago in Boston. It was super inexpensive. It will always be super cheap. It has a built in bra and, of course, a thong. I have to be feeling brave to wear it out. The platforms require courage as well, but I love feeling tall. I feel like the shorts balance the underwear/heels-comb, lending a casual vibe. I'm wearing these shorts everywhere, a summer '09 staple. Got them at DeBois, a fantastic! textile/second-hand clothing store in Baltimore.  http://www.deboistextiles.com/

Got the ring from Beauty Island. a.k.a the Asian Beauty Supply Store. a.k.a. My Shit. Cost $3, an impulse buy while stocking up on Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil (the only product I use on my hair) and black nail polish. I stole this belt from my sister, who matches her hair bow to her outfit everyday. I'm inspired.
