Curly Haired Angel, Straight Haired Devil?

WARNING: I am a repeat sandal offender...sorry! I just love my fringed sandals, even though they are well battered by now. Anyway.....


On to something I wore last Wednesday. Despite buying this skirt over a year ago, this was the first time I ever wore it! The waist has always been a bit too big, and of course, I kept saying I would bring it to a dressmaker to fix it, but surprise, surprise I never did. So, instead I pinned it together. We are coming out of a recession after all!


Skirt: Tommy Hilfiger

T-shirt: Primark
Necklace: Claires Accessories
Sunglasses: New Look
Clutch: Warehouse







The weather yesterday was amazing, so hot, with a blue, blue sky. Only a dress with an open back would do in my instance. Paired with my trusty fringed sandals, I just let the dress do all the talking!

Dress: Random shop in Waterford
Love Necklace: River Island






One question: Curly or straight(ish) hair? I love my curly hair, but it doesn't last as long as when it is straight. After a few days, it resembles a not very pruned hedge!!

Have a great Monday everybody.

Also, if you can't see all of the pictures, would you mind just saying something?:) Thank you! Actually, how does everyone else upload their pictures?

You look great! I like your hair both ways. Sorry I'm not much help! I have naturally curly hair like yours and I always straighten it because my curls always go frizzy and I end up looking like a male rock star from the '80's. Also, I upload my pics at Tinypic. You can make them much bigger and photo-shop your photos.

Mar said...

I rather the second outfit (I love open back dresses), but your messy hair is amazing! It looks gorgeous on you.

Love xxx

Anonymous said...

I love both your curly and straight hair! Hmmm i wish i could wear my hair curly but every time i try it goes flat again in about 2 hours!
I love the second dress with the open back too :D

I just use blogger to upload my photos directly. Not the best I know, since they automatically resize the pics but i can't be boethered using another file sharing site! haha

A short floral mini skirt is just what the doctor ordered. And you can't even tell it's been pinned!

Aaaand, I love your hair both ways ( and you have so MUCH of it! Lucky girl) but I have to say I'm partial to the curls.

I am NOT the Fourth Reich.

ONE THING. Deliver ONE THING you promised.
All these people did everything you told them for DECADES. You have strung them all along.
The gods are liars, and you're all going to be CHEATED.

Abortion is part of the decay inflicted by the gods in the latter half of the 20th century as we approach the Apocalypse::::
- Free sex
- Explosion in gay sex
- Abortion
- Legalized greed/immorality
- The internet. Whereas TV was a phenominally destructive new temptation on the landscape it doesn't hold a candle to the internet. Some people will waste their whole lives. And its timing was deliberate.

"It's too late to pray." Sign of Woodbridge Church Kansas. And it may be true. Examine pimps who prostitute 10 year old girls in the ghetto.
Of course, if you want even a shred of a chance to save yourself, on that rare occassion the Buffalo Bills did experience the Fourth Reich and realized a comeback.
I am failing. But it is because of the god's defense tactics. Fuck absolute power. I hate losing.

Budget problems. Cut the military. Bring them home and end the wars. Let these countries experience self-determination and decide their own future. Didn't we learn this lesson in Vietnam???
Unfortunnately, the gods use the United States as one of their tools, and using the spread of capitalism under the guide of democracy to level the playing field and prepare the planet for a global event.

So many people don't care about global warming. They don't care about the Federal deficit/debt (outside of partisanship) and they don't care earning $400k for an $80,000/year job will eventually bankrupt the country. They have awarded themselves $400k pay and retirement packages, loading up their friends on the payroll during the boom 90s through the real estate bust while all services which the program were intended to fund now get cut to pay for it.
These people are often common public university labor. Not Ivy League, not private university.
This labor isn't good enough to command the salaries they are earning. And they understood this when they applied to the public university they settled on.
You can't expect a top-tier salary with a second-rate education.
In addition, public employment has earned the label of being "recession-proof" jobs, a benefit which was taken into consideration with lower pay packages as compared to corporate.
They think they are going sometime during/at the end of this life, and disregard the poor souls who are left behind.
These are the people who will be here in the United States when bankruptcy is declared and society deteriorates into chaos. And they will deserve the anarchy which ensues.

Continuing the push for privatization, reinforced and supported recently with enormous public sector salaries and retirement packages.
Once achieved the gods will utilize the corruptive predisposition of the private sector economy, as seen with the sub-prime/bailout fiasco, to initiate economic catastrophy and initiate the bankruptcy proceedings of the United States.
Whether the cure for cancer/diseases or the permanant resolution of economic misery, before the gods remove these motivations to pray we will experience an inordinate deluge of each element, with economic misery being perhaps the dissallusion of the united States with bankruptcy.

The gods used the Italians to ruin life in the 20th century.
The gods used the Italians to ruin life in A.D. with The Church.
The Church controlled Western Civilization. As the largest land owner in Europe they controlled the monarchies. They were responsbile for slavery, revenge for African invasion and rape of Italy. They created religious discontent, ultimately leading to the disfavored dumping ground known as the United States.
