Hiatus

"I think the best life would be one that's lived off the grid. No bills, your name in no government databases. No real proof you're even who you say you are, aside from, you know, being who you say you are. I don't mean living in a mountain hut with solar power and drinking well water. I think nature's beautiful and all, but I don't have any desire to live in it. I need to live in a city. I need pay as you go cell phones in fake names, wireless access stolen or borrowed from coffee shops and people using old or no encryption on their home networks. Taking knife fighting classes on the weekend! Learning Cantonese and Hindi and how to pick locks. Getting all sorts of skills so that when your mind starts going, and you're a crazy raving bum, at least you're picking their pockets while raving in a foreign language at smug college kids on the street. At least you're always gonna be able to eat."


Blog posting will resume once I regain my sanity.

Outfit #4: Colour for a Rainy Day


I love the rain. So much. And cold weather.
I also love colour. Black and white and contrasts and warm colours are fun too. But especially colour.
:)


(Can you see my earrings? They're purple, blue, and yellow fish!)


Black leggings - Remember (a store in Athens)
Sweater - Old Navy :(
Scarf - pashmina, a market in London
Hat - knitted tam, a friend's store (it can fit my dreads!)
Coat - Giacca
Boots - wellies from Camden market in London
Umbrella - Gap
...and some long-sleeve shirt. Can't remember. :P

Outfit #3: Emulating Eagle



Not on purpose, of course. Mrs. Eagle told me she loved my outfit and for the rest of the day everyone compared me to her. Awesome? I THINK SO.
(Because only people who know Eagle read this, no explanation is necessary.)

Shirt - Red, long-sleeve from Gap
Sweater - my father's, knitted by my yiayia
Scarf - Lucky Brand
Skirt - from some booth at a street fair in Hawaii. It's a wrap skirt and you can wear it a bazillion different ways. Plus you can turn it around and use the other pattern on the outside!
Tights - Macy's
Shoes - Steve Madden
