The other day I played with younger kids in a park and one took a picture of me:
![]() ![]() (Everything was a gift except for the bracelet, bag, hair pings, earrings, rings and the bow which came from a box of chocolate! I threw the chocolate away and ate all the other bows. Yes, you NEEDED that enumeration.) She also asked me why I took this picture: ![]() Wasn't it a cute things? Also, these short shorts go with so much things, I wanted to take more pictures but wore other stuffs in between, so yeah, no pictures. Thursday, May 17. 2012Blah blah about Betsey Johnson
Betsey Johnson is bankrupt and making sales. Christophe Coppens is bankrupt as well, but I can't visit his website for it is in Flash.
Also, Donna Summer just died at 63! Her music goes well with that moment when I was visiting Betsey Johnson's website today (better than Ru Paul, because Ru Paul's fun factor is too much to achieve that; this kind of chemistry needs real precision.) ![]() I can't buy anything because I don't any money and apparently the shipping would cost candies! Which is sad because somehow I feel like it'd be possessing a piece of history? So I'll probably steal a book about her, because I find her clothes powerful (maybe empowering but it's such a big word that I'm not sure) and fun. Now you'll say it's sad that the only option to be powerful seems to be being sexy (which become kind of hrm to talk about because in the beginning you're not supposed to feel powerful because of sexual stuffs if you're a woman or read as a woman by others, but it shouldn't be the only option), but I don't think so only because it's sexy (which I didn't know it was in the beginning but it happens to me a lot with a lot of stuffs!); it is because it's like a play between a pastiche and a parody, a game that Betsey would share with her clients and not a goal in itself. It's a bit when you are doing that really stereotyped thing, both because you like it for yourself and your friends and knowing there is a negative stereotype associated with it you decide to take it for you and play with it! A bit like that John Fiske quote I read said, about wearing a jean. The jean already has a meaning assigned to it by society and you can modify that jean or wear it with other stuffs or for other reasons, in different places than it's supposed to be worn, to modify (for you or others) its meaning, still our meaning will coexist with the meaning(s) already assigned to it by society and other people. Except here, as it's Betsey Johnson herself who gave this meaning to these clothes, the new meaning is stronger. Obviously it's just my own interpretation while visiting her website and reading this Rookie article, before I knew her and liked her stuffs but didn't think about that, so maybe if she was reading this she would tell me: you don't get me, get it at all my child, let me explain it to you! Thankfully we can have personal interpretations. (There would be one precision to add but someone just distracted me, I'll add this later.)

Tuesday, May 15. 2012N'ears![]() I bought these clip-on earrings at my district's bi-annual fleamarket, by the same people who organize the Beer Fest which in August falls on the same day. These have an interesting shape and a nice, powerful color! Plus, these go with my jacket, which I put back on at 4AM just to take this picture: ![]() Which I then used to play around with Picasa. It was worse before that and for some reason the RAW is corrupt! Saturday, May 12. 2012Screen caps of the Met Gala Red Carpet Live Stream
Someday I watched the Metropolitan Museum of Art live stream of the Schiaparelli/Prada: Impossible Conversations gala opening and made screen caps (scroll down, in case it's any use to anybody.)
The live stream was a good idea because I read about the exposition in Beaux-Arts magazine and wouldn't have been able to visit it for obvious reasons, so now I can at least say I saw the opening live stream and somehow it satisfy my mind? By moments you couldn't hear much because of photographers who yelled stuffs like "Diiiane! Diiiane" so Diane would turn around. "Somebody walks Deborah down the stairs!" As it was supposed to give a global view of the thing, both presenters (Elettra Wiedemann et William Norwich) only asked a few questions : • How did you chose your clothes? • Is it your first time at a Met Gala? • Did you know Schiaparelli before? Plus some bonuses sometimes. There were parts presenting the Met galas, their history and pictures of the galas-of-before, which probably made a great ad. Personally I kind of like hearing about the history of museums, including their galas, the history of stuffs supposed to present history. Baz Luhrmann's videos seems more interesting after hearing him talking about these. Also, there were white fabrics everywhere for the lights? I guess. Now look at Florence Welch's dress: ![]() Screencaps time! (gives an idea of the live stream at best in medium) ![]() Thomas P. Campbell, director of the Met; some important person whose name I don't remember; William Norwich. ![]() Miuccia Prada; Elettra Wiedermann. ![]() Anna Wintour. ![]() Didn't succeed taking a screen cap at the moment, but pictures of the wild diglett that appeared at their feet must be findable somewhere! Seriously, what and adorable scandale. So much I'm not going to bother finding how to translate this word. (ok, turns out that's just scandale minus e!) ![]() ![]() Grace Coddington; William Norwich. ![]() Olivier Theyskens looks like a boy I know and it seriously perturbates me, despite knowing before. He looks a lot like this boy from that point-of-view. Also his costume is made in a fabric which looked like denim, which you can't see on a live stream. ![]() Caroline Tentrini tries to publicly assassinate Elettra Wiedemann. Or they high-five. Seeing as there was a story about a wedding dress it could have been about murder. Still I think she said hello to someone not on screen. ![]() Marc Jacobs; Kate Moss. ![]() Coco Rocha with nice patterns and colors. Better (thanks to bridiesbird) Prada and Schiaparelli's collage to present the exhibit reminded me of a Creamsicle cosplay, I guess one of the first ones, but I can't find it back! ![]() Someone leaving.

Friday, April 6. 2012Inspiration #1 & Things to unlock"One thing I’ve learned, transcribing these CONFESSIONS has taught me, we all knew a lot more at young ages than we remember knowing, later. Some kind of peculiar amnesia must set in. Some kind of reinvention of ourselves. Maybe because much of what we knew we didn’t like knowing and worked to forget so if you haven’t been keeping a diary or such (and nobody does, these days) you’ll succeed in forgetting what’s mysterious, upsetting." — from Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang by Joyce Carol Oates ![]() Grimoire Blog ![]() Floral prints, unknown ![]() Gabriella Barouch ![]() Michael Cina, The Whole Landscape Will Be Eternity ![]() Gramour and Grace: DIY Watercolor Cards I really don't feel like blogging in french at all. Should change where I host my blog as this one requires me to be bilingual and I don't know whether I'm bilingual enough? Once I took a bath (well, not a bath) I'll cut my hair. Not to pass but because I feel ready. Not the haircut I thought about for passing. Because of changes and how I once read about how Coco Chanel cut her hair? I don't remember and I'm tired I didn't sleep because I'm too frigging unclean to sleep in my bed. Go! P. -S.: Also, visit His Black Dress, he's amazing! ![]()

Sunday, March 18. 2012Spring is here!
So, if Sunday you're free, why don't you come with me and we'll poison pigeons in the park? By the way, I'm back and will try to post more often.
Recently, I made (with other people) and read zines. I read GQ Tales & Mend my Dress. I cut out some pages to pin them on my well, those of Confidence, what a cliché. BELIEVE ME when I tell you I just pinned those because my wall lacked something and it was pretty! It's nice, if something written in it offend/bother/whatever me I can strike or glue paper on it with something else written on. I could with professional magazines, but the paper is different and it's just not the same, not as personal, not as authentic. In the last Worn, apart from an article on some really inspiring person with an almost all-handmade wardrobe who also made some kind of "sewing space" (edit: I checked, that's Karyn Valino!), there is an article on gender identity and it's not binary-centered! It's also not from an historical point-of-view, like Sexing La Mode; it all makes me happy and Erika Neilly, who contribute to Worn and was interviewed for the article and took pictures, have other projects on gender identity! I already saw A Study of Underwear somewhere else and didn't even knew it was from her! I recently found back my old Polaroid, but it's a Joycam and its photographic films aren't produced anymore since a looong time. I just need to find someone to manipulate with my mind so that they buy me a Polaroid 636 and films from The Impossible Project. (I thought about trying to make Polaroid films myself, but I saw a video and it seems so complicated and expensive and maybe dangerous; plus, my Joycam's battery seemed to have been in the films like in some other polaroids if I understand well.) 8 January, 29 February: ![]() ![]() Everything from Le Léopard friperie except white blouse (La Redoute), skirt (bought at the Halle aux Vêtements in 2008), denim jacket (gift), velvet/denim thingy (bis) and gangar (childhood thing.) Stuffs I wanted to share: Feminism for real by Jessica Yee, Hacking Couture, Counterfeit Chic (interesting articles as I don't read stuffs from that point of view very often), see links from Counterfeit Crochet. 25 February : I went to Emmaüs (sort-of a french Goodwill, you buy and give stuffs and money goes to poor people) and bought old Anna and Fait Main from 1982-1996, The Voyage of the Space Beagle, other books, yarn and a necklace that makes me think about archeology. I made a bat barrette in felt and thought about making a necklace representing a bat's anatomy or that of other animals in wood, plasticine or something else? (not the complete skeletton, parts of it and [group of] bones... I get what I'm saying!) A small articulated bat with fake fur and interlining. (I've more ideas totally unrelated to bats and more related to wearable computing and the like, but I have to do some searches first.) I could make the bones in wood and organs in plasticine. ![]() ![]() Last year, same month, I wanted to volunteer for SPFEM's chiroptera group, but it was both too early and too late and I didn't think about it anymore because I never thought about going to the reunions. I almost bough boots, but these were pink and I thought I couldn't wear pink boots because of all the things associated with pink; since then, I can't stop thinking about those boots and with what they could be worn! ![]() P. S. : I REALLY LOVE BATS! P. P. -S : Does anyone knows whether Anne Fausto-Sterling is a gread read?
