Noir et Cuir

I really don't think there's alot for me to say at this point.
Except...I wish I had the actual panache, enigma and alterna-cool factor of the girl in this picture.

It's that frightening uber-cool vibe that we all know and love from those teen misfit movies of quality (cue early 90s)
Think Natalie Portman in Leon. Or Winona (yeah in them wild double denim, tattoo filled, hotel room trashing Johnny Depp days) in Reality Bites.

Screw the fluff of today!

But back on that X-factor:

Then and only then could I probably embrace my dark side with lashings of fur, signet rings, maxi leather skirts and scary/awesome boots (I like to think my new platform booties...which will be getting much love from and outside the camera...are kind of scary awesome in a kind of weird zombie love child of a trashtastic Lady Gaga-esque whore and a dandy Englishman...but story for another time)

I probably still wouldn't look half as amazing.

But they say they have cookies on the dark side...

Mmm...

Love

Back In Black

During my Tuesday afternoon fabulousity date with Daniel at The Bend -
I spied this rather fascinating looking figure...

Fascinating because he was dressed entirely in black but there's that added button detail at the back of the coat which adds that extra something which lifts the piece above being just plain Melbourne black to being somewhat more akin to Japanese art curator black...

In Daniel's words: 'He's like a glorious gothic Stormtrooper...'

I would have gone with Japanese art curator draped in Comme des Garcons or Yohji (who revel in interesting architectural black pieces)...but hey...that would make for a pretty damn fashionable Stormtrooper...

Now I would watch THAT version of Star Wars

Love
