Yesterday Shopping

yesterday, I went shopping. I hadn't gone shopping since Christmas time, and the things that I bought weren't even for me. How unsatisfying! I pleaded my mom to take me shopping, but the hard part was pleading my dad. He has recently been bent on conserving money due to the economy and his early "retirement" (I think he'll decide to work again soon...I hope...). Then, the journey began! My mom, grandma, and I all piled into the car and on our way to the mall. I can't even begin to describe how I felt when I entered the glorious shopping haven. Each wall in the building was lined with shops. Shiny shops with their shiny new things, and perfect window displays. (Sometimes, I want to pretend to be godzilla and just demolish everything, and then I would awiphweripeogr) I was less interested in places that sold tea sets and luggages and more interested in places that sold bags, shoes, clothing, and accessories. When I see clothing displayed in shops, it all seems so untouchable. Too holy to be touched, or even be thought of. O.O Just kidding, but sometimes the shops do give off a standoffish feeling to teenagers especially if they are a high end store. This whole supercilious feeling wears off though because the you know that you have the authority (or a credit card) to purchase whatever you please. UNLESS you are in a bit of a financial credit situation like most Americans. *sigh.

When I walked into Bloomingdales, I kept smiling. I was just so happy that I could be surrounded by such beautiful creations of fashion designers. Even if some of the clothes were....kinda fug.. I still felt happy. My desire to be surrounded by aestheically pleasing areas is I admit a bit shallow. It reminds me of all the haters of fashion and how they say that fashion is artifical, superficial, and other adjectives that mean fake. I do agree with the haters that after I look at the clothing for a period of time, I do notice that fashion is only to visually please others, but I can't help but love it. There's something about fashion that seems exclusive. A cool kids club. I'm not saying that only awesome people like myself(jk) can join, but I think that fashion is only available to those who truly want it. Afterall, fashion is an art, and the clothing that the designers create is like a canvas that a painter would paint or draw on. Beautiful clothing also gives confidence to people who wear it. I see no harm in that ;) Confidence can come from anywhere maybe even I don't know, a piece of paper or a rice cooker? Who knows.

After scouring the floor and trying on at least 15 different things in the dressing room, I decided on 3 things. The clothes were paid for, but left in the store because there was a presale thing going on, and I have no idea, but I have to pick it up on Friday.

All in all, I'm just sharing my general happiness after my shopping trip to the mall. Fashion is so cool. Disclaimer: this is a pointless piece of crap story with bad grammar and scattered thoughts.

Here are some pictures of pieces of paper and rice cookers.
Side Note: my friend says that if you say "you rice cooker!" in a really insulting tone of voice, it could almost sound offensive. C'mon. Say it. You RICE COOKER! HOW DARE YOU, YOU RICE COOKER.


LOOK AT THAT BRAIN. WTF.

The Occult Closet

I think the most interesting part about my room has got to be my closet... It's always messy and clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories are scattered about. Pretty interesting.











Things I recently bought: The black and white bustier by Nanette Lepore was the shirt that I wore for the Lady Gaga concert!












Also this vest by Rozae Nichols is soo hardcore. The beads are nice :)












Alexandra actually took this picture on my desk. All the things in the picture are supposed to represent what you can find in a girl's purse. Good job putting a ribbon on my bear Alex!

Aloha

Hey guys, this is Tracey. I WENT TO THE LADY GAGA CONCERT TODAY!!!!!!! I had good orchestra tickets and her first concert in NYC!!! woot woot~ omg she was too cool. She's amazingly funny also O_O but I thought more people were going to be dressed crazy and awesomely. I saw some people dressed like Lady Gaga, but most were in jeans from what I saw. Donald Trump was there, no kidding. lolz. The Gaga fans looked hot, and we all went crazy for her. Lady Gaga's costumes were cool too though. She started out covered in lights, then went to a head dress thing, then stripped to reveal a leather leotard, butttttttt I'd rather not write about all the costumes. On january 24th, all Lady Gaga ticket/merchandise sales will go to the Haiti people! Buy her stuff!! Help the poor Haitians.. :(

Let's have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.
<3 Tracey


she looks hardcore in the circle thing. It's like an Atlas vibe. but she's INSIDE instead of carrying the world~

Welcome!

We are two girls that reside North of the Milky Way and to the East of the Southern tip of the galaxy with a short left...lol. (confused? It's okay, so are we) and we are here to introduce the combinations that ART and FASHION have to bring to the table!

Tracey describing Alexandra - Alex is a hyper overly friendly creepy spazz that likes to hang with guys. She LoVeS doing my make up, and loves all colors. She also does really good sketches, and likes researching anything that's pretty. She also sucks at bio and being normal. She also is a problem solver! (a social problem solver). She likes giving advice to people. There's more to her, but it wouldn't even fit in a dictionary.... I think ALEX is a lizard.


















Alexandra describing Tracey - Tracey is my cute sized friend who has a chic and sharp taste in the Art of Fashion. She likes fashion, she knows fashion, and frankly she tells people when they have NO fashion sense. She seems kick ass right? Nah, she's really a teddy bear who likes hugs and hates chest hair. EW >3<. She seems like the quiet type but she isn't quiet. She's cute and cuddly and furry all over. okay, not furry, but you get the picture, she's cute!
