baby girl pink

today i bought a baby doll to take photos of
baby hats for a custom order of sorts and
there's something sort of odd to me about it.
about dolls. there were a line of dolls called
little mommy and the entire aisle was pink.
mommys are good, but little doctor and little
artist and little architect would be nice, too.
plus every time i see handmade baby hats
photographed on lifeless dolls it creeps me a
little, but now i will join the club since we
know no tiny new little ones.

also all of these fashion blogs with girls with skinny
legs - it's so tiring to see over and over all
the time. skinny legs are ok i guess, but i like
round legs and thighs and muscles and softness and
all of it too. i suppose it's the usual state of
things. but why one or the other and never
any variety? i know the answer, but still.



i saw this photo a while ago at the gym which is the
only place i read glamour because they're just every-
where and the treadmill is boring and now the internet
is all ablaze over it it seems. good for glamour on
this one. but there's still all the horrible and
often just plain wrong sex information they constantly
bestow though.

blah blah body image blah blah dolls blah blah little
girls blah blah blah. the same babble as everywhere.
and me too. internet disillusionment. i'm tired. it's
past 3 am. this computer should be freezing soon.

i've been looking at photos of pugs all morning.

watched - the hired hand

more warren. i am not so much all into
peter fonda for various reasons though
maybe i am being too hard, but something
about him is too rich kid without reason
for me. those blue jeans look a little
too new. this was his directorial debut,
and i liked it even so. sort of psychedelic
western, some parts.

modcloth style

richard over at modcloth posted a little style inspiration
feature on me at the modlife blog. sweet.

sweater

i thrifted this sweater a few weeks ago and i was going to
put it in the shop but instead i'm going to base my entire
fall and winter wardrobe around it.

new in shop - haight street headband

100% cotton. crocheted headband with
braided ties and wooden beads.

<3 always.

a box

when i was home my mom gave me a box of late
70's early 80's clothes that she used to wear
to work when she kept books for a clothing
shoppe. blazers and high waisted bell bottoms
and long plaid skirts! i just got around to
trying things on last night and i didn't realize
how great they all were until i did. and how
sweet we're the same size in our 20's, though i
suspect her waist was a tiny bit teensier than
my boyish one. there are still more to go and i'm
going to right now.

sorting

i am trying to simplify my
wardrobe, purging trendy
regretful things, but it is
so hard to get rid of things
even if it's going to goodwill.
i always think i could use the
fabric to make something else
or that it might be useful
somehow. would it be worth it
to try selling on ebay? time
and effort, too, i guess.
