Fashion week...?


Is it bad I don’t give monkey’s butt about fashion week?

I swear I’m a girl. I swear I do enjoy looking nice and all that stuff, but fashion week?

The main problem I have with it, isn’t necessarily with it, but just that it’s a giant invitation for everyone (in the already immaculately dressed city of Paris) to UP THE ANTY [on themselves] and class the daily, “getting dressed” act up even more. PROBLEM. because now the decently fashionable populace crowding the sidewalks has turned into very fashionable populace. ERIKA NO LIKE.


Can I just hire that one short guy from project runway to flip through my closet and declare, “HONEY, I’m looking at a collection of tragic hot trannies who have just coalesced into one super-mega-hot-tranny-uncute-mess” and call it a day? Because honestly walking through the streets of Paris in my chucks / jeans / not silk clothing makes me feel like I’m Remy the rat and I just crawled out of a sewer. But unlike Ratatouille this shit ain’t [pixar] animated—its real life, and if that happened, it would be EFFING GROSSE.


And what’s up with the CRAZE??? I mean sure it’s cool, but its about as cool as if the world’s biggest “Magic The Gathering” Convention just rolled into town; and as far as I’m concerned, very high end fashion designers and MTG have at least two things in common for me: I know they exist, and I know that that other people like them more than I do, but beyond that my knowledge is limited…and to be frank, I’m not really planning / desiring to expand it. So have fun name throwing, and card exchanging folks, I’ve got a rainbow plaid jacket to zip up.

  1. FABULOUS. omg possibly the best day for you to write this! today i was running (literally) late to yoga class clad in spandex a tank and sportsbra. Feeling very underdressed in the cold berkeley morning, I ran by peoples park, bums, and all the wide-eyed freshmen trickling out of the units. Despite the craziness of it all, I muttered under my breath, "thank god I'm not in Europe!!" Because honestly, I looked ridiculous but its Berkeley! anything goes, and even the biggest offenses to fashion are considered normal. And (on a side note) I'm sorry to hear that chucks aren't the fad--Romans REALLY love their chucks (guys, girls, all sorts of colors...) clearly there's a divide in the fashion senses of Italy and France :)
