"I feel like Cinderella. I was roughing it in New York, not sure if this is the place for me - and then you fall in love; it changes everything. All of a sudden, New York feels like the best place in the world."

If you're going to be wearing heels with your costume, your ankle measurement will decrease from 9 to 8 1/4". This is why your test fits looked baggy and shitty at the ankles. Don't do it again.

This will be my swimsuit purchase this year.
I am inexplicably always sold on the feather print swimsuit.

I really miss you. It's just about unbearable. Every moment of every day I think about your absence, and it almost kills me. But of course, I'll be back with you soon, and will not have to miss you, and will not have to know that something, everything, is missing, that what is here is only what is not here.

Everything is Illuminated

Oh, is it birthday dress time again?

Suggestions please. Or surprise me. I'm about a size 4. XS if it's got spandex in it.

Also accepting donations of new, unused lacy underthings and stockings. A girl can never have too many.

I MUST recreate her outfit.

It's been awhile since I've done a shopping entry, but admittedly, my recent purchases haven't been too interesting (although I did get some awesome deals at Aerie during their recent sale). A few items I love, below.

A few weeks ago, I was walking through Union Square with a friend and this shirt caught my eye:
$30, silk screened locally by a guy named Dan Cruz. I didn't buy it, but maybe if I see him around Union Square again and have the cash on me, I will.

Also, my new favorite thing:

I'm not sure if B likes it, but I love it! But I love anything intensely pepperminty, anyways. It's completely clear and as a bonus, freshens your breath with a sweet minty flavor. The perfect kissing lip gloss, in my opinion. (But what did you think, B?)

That's it for now. Kind of broke D:

Get out your girdles and spanx, because it's that time of the year again, when I search high and low for the tightest, shortest, most skanky dress to ring in another year of life in.

However, I WANT THIS ONE.

Motel, $56
Skanky and classy at the same time! Maybe the NY fashion industry has gotten to me already, but this dress kind of knocks of "so cool, I'm going to wear it with my vintage Levi's jacket, a bowler hat, ironic oversized glasses, expensive patterned leggings, and short boots" which of course I would look laughable in but I WILL MAKE IT MY OWN.

This, along with many pairs of backseamed, cuban-heeled stockings, will be purchased when I get my first paycheck. I AM SO EXCITED.

This is my first entry from my shiny new
PAID ACCOUNT!!
FUCK YEAH.
Thanks for the coupon msblackeyeliner!

Now, I need to look for more icons.

Dating: The McDonalds Analogy

I know a girl who broke up with a guy and she told him she wanted to “still be friends.” He said, “No thanks.” She wondered why he couldn’t fall back to being just friends after they had a romantic relationship. I came up with the “McDonalds Analogy” to try and explain it in a simple way that would help all women understand this tough question.

Imagine if you went to McDonalds a lot and ordered a Big Mac Combo meal. A Big Mac, Large Fries and a Coke. You really like this meal. One day, you pull up to the drivethrough and order the Big Mac Combo meal and the girl tells you, “I’m sorry – you can have the Big Mac and the Coke, but you can’t get fries with that anymore.” You think about this for a moment, and sure – the Big Mac is the centerpiece of the meal, but McDonalds has some really good fries and you like their fries with your meal. So you say, “I’ve been able to get fries with that before, why can’t I have fries with my Big Mac combo anymore?” The girls says, “Well, I just think it is better if you only have the Big Mac and the Coke from here on out.”

At this point, a lot of guys are going to go to Wendy’s or BK and see if they can get fries with their combo at that drivethrough window. But there are some guys who REALLY like McDonalds Big Macs and they might think, “If I keep coming here and ordering the Big Mac and Coke, maybe she’ll change her mind and give me some fries with that later.” So they will keep on getting the combo without the fries until the deal breaker happens: One day that guy is going to order the Big Mac and Coke and then he’s going to pull up a little bit to pay, and someone else is going to pull up to the drivethrough speaker and order the “Big Mac Combo” and he is going to hear the girl say, “Would you like fries with that?”

That’s why guys don’t like to be friends with a girl who breaks up with them.
