| Siouxsie Sioux lookin’ fierce |
This epic t-shirt (to wear to job interviews and family christenings, obviously). Click here to read a totally interesting and absorbing series of posts about the evolution of the Tits t-shirt, brought to the masses by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm MacLaren.
- Black yarn
- White yarn
- Big ol’ knitting needles
- Loose rhinestones
- Lengths of chain
Ingredients for a top secret craft project – and by ‘top secret’ I mean glaringly obvious (it’s a jumper). The closest approximation I can find is on this stylish lady on Chictopia . And it’s handmade too. It must be fate. I’d like to make something a little bit like this, but sparkly.
On a side note for fellow Irish bloggers; were you forced to learn knitting in primary school? I learned (and I say that in the loosest sense possible) knitting, sewing and crochet at the Presentation Primary and conveniently forgot my knitting needles and crochet hooks for about three years running.
It might just be me, but making things is so much better than just buying the finished article. A mountain of studs to gussy up my biker jacket a la Burberry would be mighty useful too.
Allure by Diana Vreeland – The out-of-print masterpiece has been reissued with an introduction by Marc Jacobs. Possibly the funniest, wittiest writer of fashion ever. Vreeland, that is, not Marc Jacobs.
The Mode in Furs by R. Turner Wilcox – So I can understand a bit more about fur and where the hell the idea of wearing an animal comes from.
Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress by Denise Rosenzweig – A peek into the wardrobe of amazing, flamboyant artist Frida Kahlo, who took up a big part of my Halloween post with her scarves, braids and traditional Mexican clothing.
I’ve got a Mac G4, I’ve had it for five years and it still works great. But it’s a little bit knackered now and I need something that has more memory and runs a little bit quicker. It also weighs a ton. A new Mac Air would do the trick nicely. So light, you can barely see it. Just like Kate Moss. Anonymous donors, start queueing here.
>Great list. Lovin' the aul guilt-canceller-outer addition of world peace too. You are SO conscientious.

>I know. I was going to ask for the complete Buffy box set but I thought I'd dole out some world peace instead. Just call me Mother Teresa.
>That's a hard list for me to shop for, think I'll go for world peace, prob a bit easier to obtain than a new Mac
>Poor Alan – I'm sure you'll think of something!
>Ha, well I was taught to knit in school, but I was never taught to cast off…so basically once I start, I can never stop! (well obviously I can find a Youtube tutorial, but not that's not half as dramatic)
>the air!! i'd like to have it too. oh, but with the cash i have, i think i'll settle for the tits shirt. haha!!nouveauskin.blogspot.com
>Love those clips. The Polly Maggoo is stunning! Love the dance scene in Badlands too. Sissy Spacek is so charming.
>thanks for your comment on the remembrance post.get the tits tee, i only ever see boys with it up north, you know, the mincers. i think it's much cooler on girls for some reason, maybe it's Siouxsie's fault eh.ohh g4! old school, my gf's mum has my gf's old one at the mo and i always think it looks massive
>arg tell me about it! Life would be so much more pleasant if I could just get my hands on one!Helen, xhttp://areyoudressingupordressingdown.blogspot.com/
