my wish is your command...




i've been complaining for a few years now that there is no cool surf gear for chicks. like, none. it's as simple as that. it's generally really girly and cheesy and i hate it. insight is an exception but they still focus more on day wear for chicks than board shorts and rash guards. but leave it to T magazine to uncover Pret-A-Surf, a collab between Vogue's Jillian Demling and Karen Mulligan (long time Annie Leibovitz studio manager)that cuts through the cheese and injects a hefty dose of glamour to gear for girls. if only i could look as glamorous as my outfit would imply when riding waves...

100th Post - Wowee Zowee

In honour of my 100th post (and first post in a while), I shall discuss something I'm generally 100 per cent sketched out about, that being SHORTS. Models? Cool, yah, wear shorts. They look great. Creepy looking chick on her bike with ana-looking, scary, saggy ass cheeks in denim butt shorts? Maybe reconsider. With my carnie stump legs I'm always hesitant about hopping on the shorts train. However, I've actually found a few pairs of shorts that tickle my fance this season, which will help because i think at the very least I'll have to step up my festival look from last year's AA seersucker bloomers (love them, but *shudder*).

Best for first (i may be a sexual pleasure delayer but I'm definitely not an aesthetic one) -- the ultimate leather shorts from Helmut (who freaking rocks). Wear 'em short or long, and swoon all the while:

But also...



(These bad boys look loose on the thighs...ALWAYS a good thing...)

(Lace bicycle shorts? Have them, INTO THEM. I wear leggings underneath)

Oh, and one more thing...
OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!
