your apocalypse is here and she's wearing silver lamé

[stitchtowhere]

i'm now the proud owner of these high-waisted lamé shorts (in silver dots/back) and i intend on wearing them... IN PUBLIC.

my birthday theme this year is "the future"--those who've been hanging around here for awhile may recall the Cats-themed salon extravangza that my amazing friends put together to celebrate my quartey century last year--which

Hmmm. I'm getting there. I ordered the infamous AA high-waisted pencil skirt. Then I tried it on and quickly learned that I am probably more apple than pear. That, and the high-waist came up OVER my breasts. Ha! I sent the skirt back because I'm not quite ready to tell the world to kiss mah belly (though I like the thought of jumping up and down and exclaiming that), but I didn't automatically hate my stomach and gnash my teeth in the way I usually would. I agree that fats has helped me to accept that I don't have to be an hourglass, and I have worn more form-fitting clothes (that do show my stomach/hips) in a way that I probably never would have in the past.

That said, I completely approve of silver lamé shorts. I can't wait to see photos!

ohhhh i like that that, and i bet that looks hot on you. ich will fotos! jetzt!

and on a totally random note my speaking german right now just reminded me of the last time i was visiting my oma and my little cousin was over too and wanted to eat this decorative--because germans fill their homes with "decorative" chocolates and candies, it seems--easter bunny. she kept eyeing it up and being like "osterhasen haben?" her parents were like "NEIN, DU DARFST NICHT!" "OSTERHASEN IST VERBOTEN!"

for some reason i felt you would enjoy this story.

SIMPLY AMAZING! (Both this post and those pants.)

If I wore pants, I would totally copy you. But now we NEED photographic evidence of your awesomeness.

my birfday and ninthscompanion is stoked about these shorts i'm pretty sure she's going to start a fanclub for them. i'm gonna be wearing them over tights, but it's still pretty much underwear-as-outerwear situation. my main issh right now is whether to wear them over my shirt. with the shirt over, you don't get to enjoy the high-waistedness, but the hip belt is adequately showcased. witht he shirt tucked into the shorts, you behold them in all their tight shimmering glory, but the belt looks odd.

Oh goodness! A fatshion dilemma indeed. If only I were there to steal those babies from you help you make that decision!

My birthday party this year is pajama-themed so I can prance around in lingerie. Which will be tight showcase my horribly offensive tummy!

It's true. My body isn't flattering on my body.

that's what the smoke and mirrors are for!

You are my hero, seriously. I'm 5'7" and a size 10, and my mom recently said, when seeing my jeans, "Miranda, your ass is entirely too obscene for those jeans!" SRSLY! I do work out a lot, and I am trying to lose weight, but for no one but me. And, um, the boys I've, um, "known" (admittedly a small group, but, still) have been quite fond of my "obscene" ass. heh. xoxo

i think whenever someone tries to police my clothing i will just be like "yes, this is/these are [item of clothing] of the apocalypse. run for cover, as I am your first horseman."
