Congratulations!!! :-D

Odd Molly

It's not fair. It is not fair. I feel mocked.


Why do I time and time again walk into those expensive stores with cool clothes I can't afford? And why can't I afford the one collection that obviously was created just for me? "Oh, what a cute little hat! 900 crowns?! Maybe I can knit it myself..." 900 crowns is ca $127, by the way.


The collection I'm talking about is of course Odd Molly. It was created by a couple of cool persons in Stockholm, Sweden in 2002, and have the tag line "Vive la difference".


I'll just go ahead and show you how awesome it is. And no, I won't mention the prices - they are depressing.

I found The Holy Grail

... and I found it in the public library. (However, the edition I found was prettier, with Buster Keaton on the front.) I actually found pieces of my soul among its pages, pieces I thought were long since lost. My precious... Sigh.


The problem is... why do professional student literature like this demand you to sell your body to be able to afford it? I can buy it on Amazon for $75, no shipping included, and in Swedish net shops it's twice the price. How am I going to survive in the cinematic world were I long so to get a citizenship?


So, I felt the need to share my despair. How about comforting me by buying this Twiggy dress for me? It's only five left! $165 on ModCloth. I think it's cheap considering it would buy you my love.

Spiffy premiere for Lolita

Hiya, everyone!

I was recently invited as a co-blogger on Spiffy, and I thought I'd make a short announcement on the matter.

So, I'm the slightly disturbed Lolita over at Lolita's Classics. Don't take it too hard - I'm a nice girl, even though I practically am the spawn of Satan according relatives.

I'm a nerdy nerd hardcore film nerd who likes to shop for second hand dresses with big colorful flower patterns. I mostly listen to 1960's music, but when it comes to films I'm a sucker for every decade. And to fashion? Well, the greatest part of my heart belongs to the 1920's flapper age and the 1960's, but I like to combine everything pretty that I can find. Let's say it like this:

A few days ago I accused my 30 year old cousin that a blouse she had bought might make her look old, to which my mother answered with a laugh, a pointed finger in my direction and the statement "Ha! And that comes from the one wearing an orange cleaner's coat with big flower's à la my grandmother!"
Yes, her grandmother. Jeez. It's hard trying to be original!

Anyways, I think you might have gotten yourself an idea of my personality and who I am. At least, enough of it. Does anyone know where to find a black velvet hat like the one I'm wearing below? It has a huge black velvet rose on the front, and as being inherited from my great grandaunt it was my absolute favorite hat when I was a little girl. I would scream of delight if I found a similar hat again.

From the looks of the photo below, can you believe that I had a hard time making friends when I was little? Haha.
