What I Wore: The Other Pinkening

Share on TumblrSubmit to reddit

While I was editing this album I realized something. This outfit totally reminds me of Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Ponies I love on that show, in order from most loved to least loved are: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Zecora the witchpony, Granny Smith, Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy.

Oh, you know, she’s only MY SECOND LEAST FAVORITE PONY WORTH MENTIONING.

My real least favorite is Derpy because she makes me uncomfortable.


And not for politically correct reasons. That would be hypocritical.

What the fuck is her cutie mark anyway? Is that lizard skin? Whichever of the writers made Derpy’s special ability psoriasis is a mean, lonely bitch.

In a couple of these shots, you can see the edge of my LG Tone Wireless Headset. They’re on sale right now for ‘cyber Monday week’ and if you’re looking for a wireless headset, these are my jam. I love them. They’re easy to pair, easy to connect, comfortable as hell, and really convenient. They solve the only problem that I had when I switched from my ipod to my phone: inaccessible controls. We’re basically inseparable.

Oh, and you should watch this. This kid is the voice of Finn the Human on Adventure Time. And this shit’s hilarious.

I know what you’re thinking. I’m a grown woman who still watches children’s cartoons. You’re right, my life is pretty awesome. I like to think of myself as an example. Something to aspire to, really.

So it has recently come to my attention that I already had a post called The Pinkening. Fairly recently, actually. So this post shall henceforth be known as The Other Pinkening.

What I Wore: Halloween Mad Man

Share on TumblrSubmit to reddit

We were Mad Men people at work for Halloween, and since I spent so much damn money and time on the outfit (the make-up was a bitch) I also wore it the the Halloween party we went to the weekend before.

You can tell the pictures I took after work because my tights got ripped and had been removed, and the heels got replaced by backup shoes after a long day of running around. I guess it’s a skill you eventually learn, but being a woman in any era before flats were acceptable work attire (basically right now) took a lot of grace, and an extremely high pain tolerance. Neither of which I posses. Actually, I do have a high pain tolerance, but that doesn’t mean I’m cool with enduring pain for hours and hours when comfy shoes are also an option.

What I Wore: New Favorite Sweater

The shirt I wore with this skirt was a bad choice. I looked like a bed sheet. However, the sweater was amazing. It’s my new favorite sweater.

What I Wore: The Day Before

This outfit is from Tuesday, the day before everything fell apart. I was back to feeling miserable after a short time of elated well-being. I tried to take happy pictures, but just didn’t have the juice.

Sweater was liberated from my grandmother’s closet and cut up the middle. I made this cut years ago and it still hasn’t unraveled. I love it!
