I’m listening to Guster and looking like a badass. I spent five hours lining a purse, and it looks amazing. I hadn’t listened to the Beatles in forever, but I dug them out today to assist in my sewing, and they made me very happy. And I ate tootsie rolls, which I hated when I was a kid but now I like, because they remind me of being a kid.
I hope tomorrow is like today too, Guster.
My mom made this purse in the 70’s, out of a skirt she had made in the 60’s. But it was unlined, so it lints like a bitch. A linty bitch. And it gets all over my stylish black clothes so I had to do something about it, obviously. One can’t just walk around covered in lint, no matter how vintage the lint may be. So I took a dress that I had bought in New York and never wore because it was ugly, and cut off the bottom of it, and sewed it together and then onto the purse. And then I cut up a fake-vintage brown corduroy skirt from Abercrombie that I had bought for the sole reason of it being ten dollars and sewed it to the bottom of the dress pieces, and then stuffed it all down and realized that it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever created. And the colors, textures, and patterns all go perfectly with each other, or at least I like them together. And as you can see from my continuation of the cam-whore tradition, the remainder of the ugly dress serves quite nicely as a weirdly stylish shirt, to complete my disguise as a badass.
I like it when I spend a lot of time doing something and not really paying attention to what I’m doing, and it turns out beautifully. And I like wearing numerous layers and scarves, because it makes me feel like a walking collage. I like overlapping.
