Riot Gear Post 005 

Procrastination is my worst enemy. This was actually shot almost two weeks ago, however my days have been slightly overwhelmed with preparations for Friday’s Fetish Flea Fashion Show. Also, I finally received a call from M.A.C Cosmetics, and I have an interview set up with them. This has been my dream job since the age of sixteen, so I’ve focused a lot of my energy preparing my portfolio for the interview. Finally, I am entering a hair competition for Goldwell. I need to organize a shoot, and do the hair (cut, color, and style), makeup, and wardrobe styling on a model. My deadline is (thankfully) the end of May, but I plan everything out… I hate being rushed at the last minute.

Without further ado!

Two weeks ago, New England was plunged into the icy darkness of Winter. Below freezing, blank, and lifeless. What’s a girl to do in this predicament? Wear pants, of course! I am the first to admit this: I am a wuss about being cold… I simply can’t handle it. So, I sacrifice my cute dresses and thigh-high stockings for something a bit more appropriate for the weather. I wouldn’t say “conservative”, however, homie don’t play that game. (grin)

I developed a ridiculous obsession for camouflage print in the eight grade. No exaggeration, almost every article of clothing I owned had some form of camo print emblazoned on it. Suffice to say I outgrew that phase for the most part. Now I am left with these pants, which I dug out of a salvation army a few years ago. They are incredibly comfortable, and surprisingly warm considering the lightweight material they are made of. Paired with a long tank under a fun sweater, and over chunky platforms, this outfit is more certainly one of my favorite “casual” ensembles. (Do forgive the stains on the pants… as I have mentioned, they are quite worn, and have been through hell. What you are seeing are hair-dye stains, and paint smears from working on the Black Spot Haunt)

Stay warm, dearest kiddies, spring can’t be too far away!
