(this pic is not from said page)Not sure what this webpage is really abt. It seems to be run by some slightly eccentric college student with strong opinions on fashion.
It's not quite my fashion, per se, since I fancy myself rather kitsch-indie/punk/goth/alternative (when in reality, I am WASP-ish, well-heeled cracker central, except not white)... but it is fascinating. Perhaps even morbidly so. I cannot tear myself away from odd, 3rd person mini-rants on brands I've never heard of (are they available for less than $30? then why would I freaking care), styles I didn't know were coming in, much less going out or being taken to the street.
In a similar vein... you know, we doctor-y types actually do have the spare one or two Gs that could ostensibly be blown on odd things like "classic" handbags from funny brands like Chloe. But is that really what we really want to be doing with our cash? ......... NO, becoz there's no such thing as a "classic bag" unless your fashion sense died long ago when Chanel's power suits were a new thing. Goddamn it people, you're not gonna want the same freaking shit at 25 as at 45, and if you do, either you're dead or your boring and lack innovation and originality.
...Goddamn, I've got to stop reading that page. It makes me silly... and poncy. And I sure as hell wasn't like that before ;)
In other news, my darling dad (step) became a nominated member of parliment 2 days ago. And while my family are apolitical and my father decidedly lacking in political ambition, this is just one of those cute, silly things that happens, I guess. Apparently, there's news media footage http://straitstimes.asiaone.com/ but it seemed largely focused on other candidates :P. Poo.
My dad's a star though, and having gained him only a few years back through marriage, I feel forever young whenever he's discussed.. or seen, or teased. As if my childhood could be re-lived, recaptured and made right just becoz he's here now.
Finally, I thought I'd say again that I've found the love of my life and his, like my papa's, existence makes many things right.
