And so alas, I'm hip, I'm with it, I can boogie, I can curse, I can give you seductive eyes that suggest slight craziness and may also graze upon some serious mental disorder. I can steal things and break car windows, leave notes that promise to reimburse the victims.
Or I can give you fish lips and flash my pale ass legs at you all the while maintaining a visual air of, you know, thug in a cocktail dress-ness.
And ultimately, you see, if worse comes to it and my sentiment is not properly expressed, I can and will always just forget it and break out in a macarena-lambada hybrid dance. If you're still reading, I apologize for taking ten minutes from your life that you can never regain.

That's a peek at my behind, this is my sorry face. I'm practically a sour patch kid: sour, sweet, gone. Bye!

that elie tahari dress could be caked in mud, blood, and guts and still be exquisite....

Hey just started reading your webby a few months back... You are seriously entertaining yet your way of putting clothes together really inspires. Been telling some friends of mine here in Singapore about this web page. Well it takes time to convince many females here of the beauty of dressing as a repeller, but I'm sure it will catch on. =)
ReplyDeleteforgot this little nugget...http://i-want-doesnt-get.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteIf only I had a cocktail dress, I could elevate myself from simply "thug"...HA!
ReplyDeleteFunny ! the dress and sneakers look so strange together, but seperately they are great !

reminds me of when brides wear sneakers under their dresses thinking no one can see them... except maybe if they wore these they would look 100 better when they are lifted on the hora chair and everyone gets a view of their ugly ass white sneaker wedges!
ReplyDeleteGREAT PICS!!!

Hey Leandra, you don't have to do any of those you listed above. While thinking you are man repelling, but quite contrary, melting men's heart.. I am pretty sure this breaks their heart.. And that, that makes you a thug ;) You look fabulous in anyway..
ReplyDeletepoor cocktail dress ;-D :-D hahaha

Reminds me of this SNL sketch with Kristen Wiig, where despite being gorgeous and looking flawless in her dress... she is still a fucking weirdo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-mMRHTGskY
ReplyDeleteAy mami, that's the most gorgeous dress I've seen in a while.

Puuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfeeect
ReplyDeleteYes, i was still reading after 10 minutes, and really laughing!
ReplyDeleteI so recognise myself in a cocktail dress. I always have a ritual when choosing a dress: Can I jump around in it, or act like this, or show a silly face... Because the most important is to feel comfortable enough to have a great time isn't it?!
Also, I was just in Isabel Marant Shop in rue de Seine, Paris yesterday and she has a new pair of heeled trainers that would get you craaaaazy!
Take care
Xx

Eres genial, joder!!!!
ReplyDeletei honestly don't think that making stupid face in the picture justifies the "man-repelling" effect. As well as I am sure you would not dare to wear sneakers with that dress in public (and i don't mean your dog-pissing posed photos on the streets but a fancy cocktail party)..
ReplyDeleteloved this post - it was funny and witty!xx
