a quickie

okay,

YOU MUST READ THE CAPTIONS with this one:

purty!

 

talk to you later!

two-fer tuesday

I almost forgot about this impressive lady, found on a bleary-eyed morning at my office’s coffee shop.  Philly fashun at its phinest!

can you make out the pointy toe leather mules, too?  it’s really the icing on this fantastic clowntastic cake!

2k9 = year of maturity

me:  im ready to go home
whats on the shabbat agenda
 Joe:  no shabbos plans, I’m sick of that stuff
that was Joe 2008
 me:  i love joe 09
cooler joe
i should have dated that one
 Joe:  too bad joe 2009 prefers laura 2008
loser laura of 2009 lives in philly, the lamest place on the planet
but she has a blog
to add to the nerdiness
 me:  we’ll never be right for each other

must have-nots

hey amigos!

sorry for the absence this week–i’ve been sooo tired from being on the master cleanse this week in anticipation of FASHION WEEK!

it’s new york fashion week, which means a legit excuse to spend hours on the internet at work, gazing at images of shows i used to attend in person. i miss it. i miss it so much, in fact, that i’ve decided to cull together some of my fave images thus far and break down some of the new & exciting & upcoming themes of Fall 2009 for all of ya’ll fashun novices.  

1. MANLADIES OF FUTURE TIMES

 

men? ladies? you decide!

 

y3k masked ninjas

 

kind of reminds me of:

 

daryl hannah at his finest

 

 

2.  COWBOYS VS. INJUNS  

 

loves axebow'ing brown people

 

loves america

 

kind of like the relationship between these two?

    vs.  

???

3. POOR RICH KIDS / FEIVEL GOES TO WILLIAMSBURG

 

need their $9 kambucha lattes

 

just like him!

 

lastly,

4. COUGAR CHAPERONES THE BAT MITZVAH

 

do the whore-a!!

 

inspired by the best:

amen.

 

that’s it for now.  stay tuned for europe.  i’m so glad i have this well paying side blogging gig.  makes my  gallatin degree in “aesthetics and fashion” seem all the more reasonable.

 

my style is like whoah

My style is not evolving in Philly.  They don’t even carry the H&M pink label (i.e. fancier crap) here–only the hella street gear that ghostface laura pulls out for hip hop kareoke nights ONLY.  I need to return to the classics of my youth in order to infuse some verve into the spring 2009 season:

I was inspired by these  words and heeded to Cindy’s advice when I got dressed for the Grammy’s this weekend.  My new band Ugandan Ponzi Fiasco won 2 awards!!  Would Donita Sparks approve?

 

RIGHTEOUS LADIES!

 

 

PS–my favorite line of that video: “Simplicity is best for Paula.” yup.

 

nice pomp.

since when is annie’s mac considered luxury?

ho hum. another day, another dollar. apparently i shouldn’t complain.  there are scores of children (24 is still kid-dult age in my book) without jobs right now.  2 of my favorite recession-stricken pals started a whining journal (aka a blog) about their experiences.  here it is.

today we got to talkin’ about thrifty cuisine:

poors: rice & beans on monday – good for the week!

moi: how about spiffing up your annie’s mac and cheese – add cut up hotdogs or tofurkey, whatever your roommate won’t notice you stealing from the fridge

poors: considering, laura, that youre not actually poor, what do you know about it? annies is not cheap, so its not for the poor, its for the lazy. big difference! we poors put TIME into out food in order to avoid putting in money. 

moi: tonight’s jobby recipe:

 pan roasted chicken with leeks and pears

fine 2004 cabernet sauvignon

diamond encrusted fortune cookies

poors: yeah, well, tonights poor as shit special include some sick fried plantains and presidente: VIVA DOMINICA! Have fun with your DUTCH OVEN — make sure one of your new ANTRHOFRIENDS brings HAND KNIT HUNTERSPLAID AND/OR PAISLY OVEN MITTS!

to that, i reply:

GET A JOB

nice sausage!

so it’s clearly been a food themed week…this guy was just too good to pass up.

via: this place

thank you russian friend david for yummy ingredient translation…

David: ok first one
  “nice” sausage
  ingredients: meet, birds, lard, heard, beak, milk, salt, sugar, spices
  im not kidding
  second one:
  “normal sausage”
  ingredients: beef, pork, salt, sugar, spices, garlic
  normal sound a lot more appetizing

the best thing i looked at today

recession-era hobby, anyone?

just let your soul glow

as promised in my new years resolution post, i am going to work on grooming habits more in 2k9.  i’m happy to announce that my first philly haircut is tomorrow, and that i’m going to be one step closer to looking my ultimate bohemian doppleganger!!!

uncanny resemblance!

 

she’s totally anthro, right?  i figure this new ‘do and a few crocheted tank tops and i’m thisclose to getting that phat promotion…

a religious experience

i might just like football.

i enjoyed the superbowl.

i ate chicken wings.

i went nuts at the 100 yard sprint.

i didn’t hate steve van zandt.

i made fun of new jersey-ians at the bar.

i didn’t slap the girl wearing the turquoise bandanna.

i didn’t slap the guy wearing the striped beanie.

i talked about “downs.”

i drank many pints of random $3 philly beer.

i turned the other cheek when the guy next to me told his girlfriend “your vagina is priceless.”

i reveled in the conversation below:

girl: did we have sex today?

guy: yeah.

girl: but you didn’t finish so it doesn’t count.

guy: but if that isn’t sex, what is?

girl: occasional thrusting.  you were trying to prove a point but you ended up looking like a total retard.

guy: i’m a retard, and you love me.

girl: i love you.

girl: go steelers!!!

 

is this my destiny?  is pennsylvania turning me into a jockette?  lord, please have mercy on my soul.
