31. Dance Dance Dance/Bows/Of Montreal
June 21st, 2008 § 3 Comments
There’s a dance party tonight in SF that I’m sort-of co-hosting as a goodbye to all of us who are heading off to MFA programs this fall. It promises to be chockablock with drunken gyrating and intimate farewell confessions — and then Chris and I plan on crashing for a few feeble hours of “sleep” before taking the rapid transit to the airport in the morning, from which we will depart to Montreal.
To unpack: Dancing! Blogging! Montreal!
In terms of my dancing outfit, I haven’t quite figured that out yet. The heel off one of my favorite pair of boots snapped off recently and I had them emergency-fixed by a local, burly, non-smiling cobbler so that I could bring them on the trip. For the most part I’ve got my make-up on already — as you can see in the above picture, I was going for a lesser version of JEM — and assembled a bow-tie headband, as inspired by recent posts by Rhiannon and the gigantic, fabulous bows of LouLou Loves You! The slim metal headband slid right through the loop on the back of the bow-tie. I doubt that anyone will be able to see the bow without paying close attention, but I like the subtlety of it, and now I know to keep my eye out for cheap, loud bow-ties to contrast with my black hair.
I hope to do some vintage shopping in Montreal, but as of now have no particular destinations in mind. If you know of any, please do shoot them my way! It would be very much appreciated. And finally, this Saturday post is meant to replace the regular Sunday post, with my apologies. I will be flying all day tomorrow and I doubt I will have the energy or the material for blogging. Chris and I plan to be gone from June 22 through June 28; although I don’t anticipate being able to post while on vacation (and will be bringing the film, and not the digital, camera), one never knows. In the meantime, thank you for reading, and I’m sure I’ll have plenty to share when I come back.
I hope you have fun in Montreal–the dress should make a smash!
Wardrobe_Remix is wonderful, I’m involved in a couple of other groups but they don’t really compare, they’re all about being young and hip. W_R is just such a great mix of people and style and none of this nonesense about what’s in or cool.
I like your bow better!
Your blog is wonderful ….
TCH: & one more thing I’ll say about W_R is that although it is true that there isn’t a HUGE variety of body types, there is still way more variety than I see in the average fashion magazine, and that really helps the way I see fashion…
R: Thank you so much! That means a lot to me, considering your blog is one of my absolute favorites…
