Into the woods. | August 19, 2008 | Comments (0)

When: Tuesday, August 19th, 2008.

What: Chiffon racerback floral tank from GO Int’l. Gray trousers from Glow on Lakeshore Ave. Pink snakeskin sandals by MaxStudio. All jewelry has been scooped up from this or that East Bay boutique!

Confession: I’ve only worked where I do for over a year. What can I say? I get bored rather easily at a rate of speed possibly faster than even Maxwell’s equations can manage. There is a lovely gem of nature just a stone’s throw from my workplace that I have not explored prior to this evening.

It makes the lush backdrop for today’s post, and I trust it will provide me with a fiery autumnal palette in coming months. (A reason, I suppose, to stay exactly where I am for at least a little while longer!) I hope you like the change of scenery!

    1. you always look so chic, and you make me hate everything in my closet.
    2. who takes your photos?
    3. how are you so photogenic and self-confident in front of the camera? someone points a camera at me and i instantly make a stupid face, do something weird with my hand and get the worst posture ever.

    i hate you in that loving yet jealous kind of way…

    @wigglepuppy:

    1. Thank you, sugar. Also? HA! I bet if you let me at your closet I’d show you a whole new world. After a few stops at thrift stores and maybe Target, I’d be jealous of YOUR closet!

    2. For all my grumbling about the Sony Cybershot, it does take timed auto-burst shots. If I get my settings and lighting right, it’ll take 5 decent shots at a time! Whee! M is v. helpful, though, and photographs me whenever she can get me to hold still.

    3. Dude, for every good shot that makes it onto this blog, there are at least a dozen I’ve decided to delete and then obsessively remove from the Recycle Bin so they die forever and ever, amen. I can take 30-40 pictures in less than 10 minutes and end up narrowing them down to 4-6 within 60 seconds of uploading them, for real. Then only half of those end up here.

    I’d say about a third of my photos are taken in public places. I try and find discreet corners and nooks where I’ll feel less like a jackass, but in general I totally feel self-conscious and kind of dumb and like an asshole! In a way, it’s a neat challenge to talk myself out of that and into “Fuck it, fuck them, who cares what they think, you heart your blog, this is fun and your outfit is HELLA cute. Besides, it’s a little late to climb off of that railing/picnic table/log/stairwell and act like you totally weren’t just taking photos of yourself, don’t you think? Uh-huh.” Anyway, feeling sheepish? Regularly, thanks!

    In terms of posture and all, I mostly try and act normal (oh hai, this is just a silly lesbotron style blog, after all), while remembering that it’s my duty not to bore y’all and try and change it up. Sometimes experimenting fails hilariously (perhaps I’ll start saving a few rejected shots here and there and post a Best Of The Rejects one day!) and sometimes it turns out awesome. The ones I think will look weird always end up being the best, and conversely the ones I think are going to be smokin’ hot are always the most awkward!
