Here I am in the garden, tending to the weeds, because I find weeds so much more, I don't know, organic, than plants that I would put there. I am wearing gardening gloves from Home Depot, and just love how rustic they are, very utilitarian. My dress is homemade because I'm really, you know, organic.
Oh, you're still there? Hey. I'm hanging out with my weeds.
What's up. You get a really good sense of the print here, as well as the fact that I borrow obscure CDs from the library, and use tupperware and also read the newspaper, the old, retro way. I hope you like this shot, because it took me 20 minutes to maneuver my iPhone over my head to make my waist look smaller and then hold the non-chalant "just reading my paper" pose.
Here I am retrieving a homemade soyrizo meatlessloaf in its namesake dress, the homemade soyrizo meatlessloaf dress, available online, provided you are my exact size, and don't mind the crappy stitching or the fact that I've been wearing this baby around for days, and have likely spilled toothpaste foam onto the front. Man, I feel so homey.
When I think about the aesthetics of this fabric, I think about how the paisleyness has a kind of gristly look to it, like the low-grade ground beef of yesteryear - it's intrinsically retro. When you wear my soyrizo meatlessloaf dress you can get your groove on with a little bit of the gender bias that made the early 60s so colorful.
