P.S. Fashion Show @ Trees in Dallas. 2 December ‘09.

Tuesday night my girl Tammy asks me if I want to go to a fashion show in Dallas the next day. “Oh. god. yes.”  There were dramatic pauses in that text. Our friend Ignacio was working as a photographer at the P.S. show and he wanted some friends to come out and support.

The show was, a learning experience.  I wasn’t wild about any of the styles.  Although some of the pieces were, themselves, excellent.  It kinda felt like sorority -girl-goes-to-design-school-ish.

Hey that’s just me though kids. I’m not that into boutique styles…. It was a trip to go watch Ignacio work.  He is so passionate and excited about photography it really inspires me.

Since when do I party late on a Wednesday night?  Since I started this fucking blog that’s when.  It’s sucking me in deep babies like an accent on a gay Spanish man at a designer store in Chueca.  I’m buying it all up.  ¿Tomas Mastercard?

Dentoff

Friends keep bugging me about doing a “dentoff” entry to this blog.  “Dentoff” is basically just what it sounds like, the opposite of “denton”:  what seemed like good choices in your closet in the morning prove fashion faux pas when you’re out on the street.

Let me make one thing clear here:  I am not judging anyone.  And as the ever-popular “Why Denton Sucks?” has so eloquently pointed out, I too make mistakes.  But, it’s ok, because I welcome accountability.

So instead of pointing my finger at your ugly ass faux leather jacket you bought in the junior’s department at Kohl’s and saying, “ewwwwwwwww!” I’m just going to give you all some pointers on things I would NEVER DO.

1. Leggings should be worn TO THE ANKLES.  Wearing them to your midcalf is leg lengthening homicide.
2. Please eat.  Listen, I know it’s hard, but if you do I will ok?
3. On that note, don’t substitute your food for beer.  Beer bellies aren’t fashionable, on anyone.  So put down the shiner, pick up a cosmo and take your best female friend out to dinner.  It’ll be like group therapy. YOU CAN EAT TOGETHER.
4. Black is the new black.  No argument necessary.
5. Acrylic nails, fake tans, baggy jeans. NO. NO. NO. Do I really have to tell you all this?
6. Giant framed glasses. Few people can pull this look off.  This likely does not apply to you.  Ask your friends and family first.
7. Oh yeah and don’t take hallucinogens, because anyone who knows Chris Medina knows there’s no such thing as mushroom chic.

Denton in furs

I’m all about vintage fur.  Why let a beautiful piece of clothing go to waste in a landfill when you can recycle it in your own wardrobe?  Plus they are totally accommodating of cold Texas winters.

I love the richness of furs: the feeling that something so natural and so delicate can be worn on my human skin.  It’s a sexual kind of feeling.  All qualms with fur wearing aside I absolutely love furs.  But I do always and only advocate wearing vintage.  Consider it your statement for the beauty of animals.  If anyone ever questions you about wearing your fur just tell them this, “I’m celebrating a life lost instead of wasting the beauty it was so gracious to leave upon this earth.”

Your opponent will probably be so shocked that you refuted him/her so eloquently they won’t have anything else to say.

A very stylish young Dentonite told me she found hers at goodwill.com for $3, +shipping of course.  I found mine at CCA in Lewisville for around $30.

If you can’t wait for a new fur coat to be delivered or can’t make the trip to Lewisville I suggest hitting up Time Bandits Vintage off the square for some warm winter duds.  This Thursday, December 3rd they will be offering free wassle cider, beer (plz bring your id kids) and 30% off on all items in store.

I snuck in a couple days ago to snap these photos:

lil d Big D love

I’ve been really bored in Denton lately, something I hate admitting because really I have so much to do, always.  But I def feel the social scene has been kind of lagging.  Maybe we’ve all got the end of the semester blues, or maybe the 20 degree weather blues. IDK.  Either way I had to get out.  And I did.  To Dallas.  Oh wow, you’re saying.  I know, it’s kind of a joke.  The short trip I made down to Big D actually turned out to be a really awesome night full of dancing drag queens, vampire movies, philosophical discussions, sexy young men and women and a whole lotta really awesome duds.
