DISCO 2000

Don't hate me I'm just an alien with thirty seven tons of new millennium

Dum diddie dum. Where's it coming from?

THE HICKEY'D PROM QUEEN

FORTUNE COOKIE THOUGHTS: A great flaw, would be to not see potential in every living thing. To meander into hopelessness and confusion. To doubt the intangible quality of talent; that isn't gifted by a god, but perfected through hours of dedication. It's never down to 'healthy competition' that stars shine, but through criticism and compliment 'talent' or ego is born. The 'King of Pop' did not become a star overnight and neither did the complex construction of Lady Gaga's brand. Image only appears to be everything, beauty is relative and you will find great love in your future.

Y2KBABE: The ephemeral millennium girl can usually be seen decorating her Nokia 3310, playing 'Bejeweled' on MSN and watching re-runs of 'Popular' on Channel 5. She keeps a LiveJournal account, listens to TLC and plans to start an indie pop band called 'The Slayerettes'.

wearing : thrifted diane von furstenberg polo, plastic heart beads from a friend

Pretending I'm a photographer because I'm loaded down with film essays and readings (blah). I've owned this polo for like 5 years but I don't wear it enough, but Tyra would be proud because I'm doing a collar pop - fashion!  

LOLITADEETZ

Lo-lee-ta: 

The tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line.

TREND ALERT: MILLENNIUM QUAINTRELLE

This indian summer we're having has rekindled my love for tennis-wear and trainers. With the 90's still the popular 'vintage' of choice, I've picked a selection of items which nod to sportswear, kitsch and 90's/Millennium style. Consider this a 'Trend Alert' for the tumblr generation.   

I figure most these items would look super together, my brain is going wild over all the different combinations. Imagine the glitter trainers with the silvers shirt and python print skort? That'd be real cute. The key to perfecting this eclectic 2000's revival are prints, metallic's and visible brand emblems. Fusing urban street style, vintage tennis dresses and bubblegum girl power pieces like buffalo boots and a-line skirts. Cute without being too twee, but nobody will mind if you tune into Hazel's sweet playlist's and go grab a cheeseburger.

punk rock princess

Taking on the persona of a suburbanite teenager in America rebelling against white picket fences and lunch room hierarchy. Don't be surprised if you see me sitting under the bleachers with Daniel Desario, grabbing a slushie with Jason Dean or hanging out in Jordan Catalano's red car. It's full on 'Enema of State' 1999 and I'm eating a cheeseburger while these greasy skater boys try and grind the railings. In the evening I head out to some party in the warehouse district, it's some Millennium pop send-up but there's a keg so we try and drown out the music with the sound of our boots on the concrete floor, don't wait up ma'.
