What I Wore: Sorry Actual Lesbians

This morning I’m pretty sure I became someone’s story about how young queers are doomed because we have no idea of our history or our circumstances. A guy in the elevator looked me up and down, decided that if I wasn’t a lesbian, I was probably at least on the good side of the issue, and started to talk to me about something Justice Ginsberg said about skim milk. Since this happened during one section of one day of a court case the ruling of which isn’t even expected until June at the earliest, I had no clue what he was talking about. Then he tried to tell me about the differences in legal arguments between the DOMA and Prop 8 cases, and just as my eyes started to glaze over, he said his goodbyes and moved on. So, my apologies to any actual lesbians, I confess I didn’t even know the names of the two ladies who’s inheritance tax issue brought DOMA to the court’s attention. In the future I will endeavor to be better at walking around with short hair.

What I Wore: Target Target

I’ve had bronchitis since early October, and this is the first week where I felt better than the weeks before it. I’m still not at full, but at least I don’t seem to be on the decline anymore. As you can see, I’m very happy about it.

What I Wore: Army Green Zombie

Another cold day in LA. I’m really thinking about doing this petticoat thing. My friend also suggested cutting the crotches out of my tights and long johns and seeing if that’s not a good solution. Maybe I’ll try that tomorrow

What I Wore: Sauce

This was taken right after I got home. I was hugging Ben, and had face buried in his shirt where I discovered that he smelled exactly like this gross vinegar butter sauce he puts on his pasta. So I told him he smelled like sauce and he took my picture.

What I Wore: Under-Tit Belt

While we were looking at today’s photos, my sweet boyfriend Ben expressed is doubts about “the under-tit belt.” He thinks that my outfit looks better without the belt. I think the belt ads a touch of fancy, and shows off the girls. What do you guys think?

What I Wore: Modular Winter Wear

This is only sort of what I wore today. We ended up going to dinner at my favorite neighborhood 24 hour diner, The Kettle, and I knew it was going to be cold since it’s right next to the ocean. So I put on a few extra layers.

What I Wore: Fat Extra in “Clueless”

I enjoy my job so much that I’m not usually a TGIFer, but this has been a long-ass week and I’m really grateful that I get a break now.

This is a visual representation of how my week has been.

“And they’re practically like this!”

What I Wore: Hulk Sulk

Hey guys, it’s been a terrible, gray bitchy day today. For some reason that prompted me to write several love notes to my boyfriend. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, I was done with their shit.

Anyway, I noticed that a lot of the pieces I use in my outfits over and over for came from thrift stores, and I also realized that I had considered myself too busy to go thrifting for a really long time. So last Saturday I hit the Salvation Army and came away with a nice little score for $25 bucks. So expect that some new thrift store finds will probably be showing up in my posts.

Ignore the expression, I’m just sulking about how late it is.

I bought these shoes with some money my Dad gave me for Easter in 10th grade. Best $60 I ever spent on clothes. Right here I am saying “Ben, make sure you get my shoes.”

Escape.
