I'm feeling very Sheedy

Ah, The Breakfast Club a la the late John Hughes. I'm finding a lot of inspiration from Ally Sheedy these days. Boots. Big sweaters. Dark leggings. Can't quite pull of the frum skirt.

The lovely and inspiring Ms. Sheedy ^^^ pre make-over from hell from the Princess.

Blehhhhh bleehhhh blehhh BOOOOOO.

Yes please.

Like Bowie Said.

So it was Jakarta fashion week. A couple weeks ago. I scoured the collections looking for inspiration outside of my norm and I'm happy to report there was much that pleased. I will confess I know nothing about the history of Jakarta fashion week, how long it's been in existence, how many designers actually showed, etc...and it's taken me a couple weeks to actually get to this post, but anyway...if you like clothes...enjoy.

The only photo that I missed the designer ^^^ Very into mixed prints and structured jackets. Want.

Adrian.

Ummm. Awesome?

Albert Yanuar.

I don't think I would ever wear this much color. Glad someone can.

Ali Charisma.
Weird, but kinda hyped. I'm into this really structured shoulder (but not jutting out mega rough) thing. Flamenco inspired is ok by me.

Evelyn Fransiska .
Hate the dress. Love the shoes. And the hair.

Mel Ahyar.

WTF. Srsly.
(It wasn't all good).

Irna Mutiara.

Ok, a couple things. I love this jacket, and the gauzy/dreamy shirt and the necklaces. I have boobs, so I will NEVER get to wear this. Undecided on the headpiece. It works here. In MPLS?

Ivan Gunawan.

Is this a dress or a top and skirt? I hope the latter, because I hate the top, love the skirt. Together they work. Sort of.

Ivan Gunawan.

More flamenco sleeves!

Ivan Gunawan.

Blossom-esque patterned skirt meets mega-structured top? Ok.

Harry Ibrahim.

Remind anyone else of J.Lo's AMA outfit?

Jeffrey Tan.

and then there was this ^^^

Not sure how I feel. But I think I feel good???

Jeffrey Tan.
Uhhh. Win? Fail? I don't know. I think I would rock that dress.

Marga Alam.

Not really into evening wear, but this was a beautiful shot of the fabric.

Melia Wijaya.

Damn boobs will get in the way of this dress too. Can I have those boots for Christmas?

Merdi Sihombing.

I feel like I maybe tried to make this outfit in 1996. Really.

Merdi Sihombing.

I guess I've got a thing for glittery? oh no.

Merdi Sihombing.

Stack this under "Things I Could Never Wear Without Getting Beat Up, But I Wish I Could."

Merdi Sihombing.

Ditto.

Misan.

Ever see Starship Troopers? This somhow reminds me of one of the brain bugs. I like it.

Misan.

Love.

Misan.
Yes Please.

Oka Diputra.

And you. Yes, you.

Poppy Karim.

Could never wear. Appreciate it though.

Rudy Chandra.

Well if that's not fun I don't know what is!

She's like a buttercup cake.

Sapto.

The red buckle-y Britney Spears circa 2001 things have got to go.

I like how it's knotted at the bottom though. Lots.

(and is that a TRUCKER HAT???)

Sapto.

Give me those giant shoulders and crazy shoes. NOW.

Sapto (again)

Tell me how she's standing!?!?!?!? Tiny magic elf.

Sisca Tjong

Ditch the hat. Now. Would Love the rest if it wasn't a 1 shoulder. Whimsical.

Stella Rissa

Fuck yes. I could NEVER wear this. But OH GOD I love it.

Stella Rissa again

Not as good, but very cute. The shoes have got to go.

Yayasun Jantung.

New Year's Eve outfit?

Fun Fun Fun Fest. It's Fun.

Took a little trip down to ATX to see my man.

Went out and drank too much the first night. I have a tendency of doing that in Austin. Met this lovely man, Brian, sound guy at Beauty Bar (I think). He made me laugh, a lot).

Birthday present idea:


His band played Fun Fun Fun Fest, in what may be their last show as Bankrupt and the Borrowers. I'm really not going to try to explain the show. It was amazing. The pictures may or may not do it justice, I don't really know. All I know, all I can say again, was that it was amazing.


Bankrupt & Friends:










We're super cool, and ended up on stage during Coalesce and Lucero and maybe a few others ???. Got to see a ton of great music, ate and drank to our hearts content, and battled the rain on day 2. FFF Fest = complete success.





Rest of the trip was spent with the fam (Momma T, Ivan, Sarah, Kellen, Randy, et al.) No pics of them? Sorry. Love it more each time.

FUN FUN FUN FEST (in the ATX)

Holy Shit I've been bad at the updates. Being in Baltimore for work, coming home for like 3 days, and then hopping on a plane down to ATX for the FUN FUN FUN FEST totally threw me off my game. Well NO MORE.

I have tons of pics from FFF Fest that need to be cropped and will then be posted, as well as a bunch of pics I just found from NYC that never made their way up. Lots of internetting in my future.

Here is one photo I stole from Mike and Jen over at the Peen Scene of Bankrupt and the Borrowers' show on Sunday. For those who don't know, or haven't made the connection...that's my mang on the drums.



Full Fun Fest update will be tomorrow(ish). Whatever...I'm busy. Must be noted that a lot of great music was heard, a lot of alcohol was consumed, and a great time was had by everyone I hung out with. So yeah, it ruled.

Baltimore. BMore. Maryland.

This is what I do at training.






Yep. I do food.

Still loving these babes

BLOG OF THE WEEK

Day late and a dollar short.

I didn't do BOTW last week...being out of town got in the way, and I was too busy yesterday (excuses excuses) but I have to say, none of ya'll disappoint. Almost everyone is nominated this week, and if you didn't make it it's honestly just because I got really sick of doing it (so sorry, you are nominated probably).

Anyway.
I'm not going to explain anything about the blogs this week (not because I'm lazy) but because I want you to look at them all on your own without any further prompting from yours truly.

TJG ^^^ Inspired.

Janessa Dreamboat^^^ (I like doctors).

Michelle ^^^ HAHAHA. YES.

Roxie ^^^ So completely unsettling and awesome.

Louisa ^^^ and then you have something so settling and sweet.

Lauren ^^^ made me giggle. out loud. Is that GOL?

Juri ^^^ traveling man

SuperBeast ^^^ ready to laugh, feel awkward, get depressed, and then laugh again?

Dusick ^^^ I better see tears boys.

Bell ^^^ This girl and I. Same vices.

Cody ^^^ Boom Boom Pow (sorry).

Plat ^^^ Trying to hate on Pineapple Express. Puaaaaaah.

No photos to accompany Scott or James' posts this week...but books without pictures are cool, so are blogs!

Scott

James

So. I liked a lot of these. Some made me laugh, some made me pensive, some are just silly.

This week I am going to declare a tie between Roxie, Cody and Michelle. I know ties are boring...but seriously...how do you pick between these 3???

On a totally unrelated note. bon iver. still good.
