growing up

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

A Flickr user pointed out this article to me, which reminded me of this photo I took last year. These weren’t the most scandalous of costumes, but they were the only ones I felt okay about taking photos of. Some of the other costumes (for 8 year olds) made me feel like I was dirty […]

late to sleep, late to rise

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Lately I have been noticing more and more people wearing pajama bottoms or sweatpants over their jeans. Please explain it to me because I feel like my grandmother shouting “I don’t understand kids these days! Back in my day we only had one pair of pants and we didn’t go out wearing our drawers on […]

The 80s are coming in full force

Friday, October 6th, 2006

I was in elementary school in the 80s. And though it wasn’t nearly as traumatizing or painful as high school, it still isn’t something I particularly want to relive. One can only think kids are doing this now because they’re celebrating the year they were born.

The bothersome thing was not the fact that I could see the bottom of her boobies

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

but more that she was carrying this horrendously dirty purse shaped like a poodle. I think it used to be pink but now it is a brownish gray and there were stains (from I don’t know what) all over it. Shouldn’t there be some sort of ASPCA for animal purses? People for the Ethical Treatment […]

motivations

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

I started taking photos of people to help myself understand why I don’t fit in. Take a look here. Three average Santa Monica young adults. Confident to the point of arrogance; they exude the aura of mild narcissism along the fringes of bitchiness. I am not like these people. I cover myself up, I can’t […]

I realize that a lot of the 80s trends are making a comeback, but PEGGING ONE’S JEANS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. That is one of those things that we were supposed to look back, roll our eyes and say “I can’t believe I EVER did that.”

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

Can someone please alert today’s youth (I think myspace would be the best forum) that allowing this trend to make a comeback may signify the apocalypse?
I have tolerated leg warmers, leggings and bubble skirts to the best of my ability but jean pegging is beyond my level of forgiveness or empathy. This only goes to […]

I learned from a friend of mine that emo boys wear “skinny jeans.” But are they supposed to be SO skinny that you can’t get them over your ass?

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

I understand there is sagging and all, but these were purchased in a size so small that pulling them up is not even an option, even in emergencies or extreme non-emo situations.

Barney meets Santa Monica Place

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

I think the leopard pants on the left belong to the mom and the Barney-colored legs with green shorts in the middle belong to the kid (about 15 years old). This was taken from the hip, which is why their heads are cut off. The lighting was shit but I couldn’t pass it up. No […]

Betsey Johnson, you’re a whore.

Betsey Johnson, you’re a whore.

Please girls, don’t fall into this stupid trap where being promiscuous is cool and popular. Wearing sexual inuendos on your t-shirt does not make you more attractive. It makes people respect you less. Perhaps you can try other ways to be attractive that are more self respecting, like […]

I’m starting to feel really old

Friday, September 29th, 2006

.There are these Goth kids who stand around on the Santa Monica Pier all day playing Dance Dance Revolution. They’ve clearly memorized every single song on there - but isn’t that sort of un-Gothlike? Aren’t they supposed to be sitting in the corner of their dark bedrooms writing poetry by candlelight and feeding seeds to […]
