I nearly named this blog post, "When I Grow Up, I Want To Be Melisa Auf der Maur". Well... once upon a time anyway, before I came to terms with the fact that my hands are too tiny to ever play bass guitar with any measure of skill beyond mediocrity.
This dress always reminds me of my grunge phase in the 90s - listening to mixed tapes with Babes In Toyland, Sonic Youth and Hole on a beaten up Sony walkman, hanging out at the stone benches outside Far East Plaza (yes, I am ashamed) and getting dressed up in babydoll dresses teamed with chunky boots, complete with heels that could have doubled up as a class 5 weapon, and badly applied lipstick (not to appear more grungey but because I was just bad at applying lipstick) - all the while wishing I was as cool as Melissa Auf der Maur, Kim Gordon and Kat Bjelland. I actually had a cream-coloured dress almost exactly like this one, except with cap sleeves and different lace.

These photographs were actually taken on the same day as my last vlog but I've been too lazy to upload them till now. Elise wanted to see the whole outfit though, so there you go, E. The photo of the Mary Janes is a little bit shite coz I was also too lazy to find a better angle. It's a recurring theme in my lazy life.
After having watched all four seasons of Weeds in three days, I'm currently dying for the new season to begin. I want to know what happens with Nancy and Esteban, damnit.
