Inspiration = Realization

I have always wanted a bowl cut. Always have. And I attempted the infamous hard cut about a year ago amidst much skepticism from friends and family. Even the boyfriend hated the idea at first. But I was headstrong and dove into the deep end. I personally thought that it was a great cut. Not only was it easy to style and manage everyday, it was also a statement to my personal style.

Alas, I gave it up for a more accessible and approachable do for the Fall of 09 (I was going on job interviews for nursing, so my mom suggested that I had to keep my aesthetics low key and non-threatening). Then Givenchy released this ad...

Amazing right?

Yeah. Big mistake on my part for not believing in my gut instincts enough. Big boo to that. Anywhore, now that the weather is getting warmer in NYC, and the fact that I just need something to set me apart and make me feel a tad bit special, I got myself a serious bowl cut. And to hell with everybody else! Coz if you don't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else!? Can I get an amen up in here?

P.S. BT Dubbs, that was from Ru Paul's Drag Race. It's the gay-er version of America's Next Top Model aka much more fun to watch. Who needs Tyra Mail, when I could get some She-Mail every week?

Summer Wishlist

DO WANT!!! And by God, I will do everything in my power to get me a pair of these men's gladiator sandals by Givenchy. And if anybody wants to know my availability, I will be standing on the corner of 42nd Street and 10th... Maybe 9th. 8th? Wherever the business takes me.

Anywho, I know that I could not possibly afford this pair of sandals. But a little boy can dream. This is actually just an inspiration piece for me. I want something with a similar aesthetic and effect that would be much... cheaper. Much much cheaper. And I will scour every fashion retailer, be it online or on the street, to grab me a pair of these.

P.S. I have no problem with wearing women's shoes/sandals by the by. It's just that they tend to be too feminine for my taste. I want something more powerful and extreme (like the ones above). Something that would make me appear like a gay fashionista and not just some cheap old queen thinking to himself that he's hot stuff because of them shoes. Maybe I'll even DIY it? Oh, and is it redundant for me to juxtapose the words men's and gladiator sandals? Thoughts?
