OMG, finally an outfit photo!!!!!!! and sadly said outfit photo aint too great. Apologies, it was taken at a late time and for some reason we didn’t even think to use the flash. I know… what the hell?
University has started, my last semester of my three year bachelor’s degree, how exciting! (frightening) I’m thinking of doing Honours next year anyway, I have been considering this since the first year so thankfully I shall have an extra year to work on my folio, incase I’m not really proud of it in 12 weeks and knowing me, most likely I won’t be.
Blazer and shirt are from an op shop, skirt is from a vintage market, tights and socks from Myer and the shoes are Jeffrey Campbell. The outfit was inspired by school girl uniform. High waisted black skirts and shirts are my favourite outfit combination. I’m tempted to wear a variation of this everyday, kind of like a cartoon character. Oh! The wig is actually light pink, tis from eBay. I know the colours looked all messed up in these images. I assure you that future outfit photos won’t be so shocking. I actually like the idea of taking them anyway, to have an archive of what I previously wore.
My boyfriend doesn’t really care about fashion much, he cringes at the idea of spending a lot of money on the way he looks. I’ve been trying to convert him anyway though, I think his own taste is slowly getting better. His shirt is from Urban Outfitters, jacket is from Dangerfield, jeans are some random brand stocked at Dangerfield, the socks are from Urban Outfitters and the shoes are chucks from eBay. I wouldn’t usually post his outfit, but I kind of liked this, whatever.
Lastly that delicious looking meal you see is something I created. The bottom is rigatoni stuffed with ricotta cheese. I thought I was pretty amazing for thinking of this, but one search on google images and I discovered it has been done many, many times before. Anyway, on top of that is a layer of Napoli sauce topped with feta cheese. It was pretty damn good if I do say so myself. I didn’t eat this one all to myself. Ha.
Before I end this post, I would like to rant about something. Something that inspired the WTF? title of this post. On Monday night I was watching an Australian show called Can of Worms. They discuss controversial issues on the show, and each week they have a panel of three ‘celebrities’ and ask them ‘controversial’ questions. During the most recent show, the panel was asked if Dressing as Hitler to a party was acceptable. I could not fucking believe that all of them said yes. Well, actually, I could believe it.
What is WRONG with people in this country?!!!! One of the guests, a young woman (I forgot what her name was and to be honest, I can’t be bothered looking it up) told the audience that anywhere other than Australia it wouldn’t be acceptable, but in Australia…. yeah. Uh, good one moron, you just confirmed the rest of the world’s suspicions that Australia is in fact, racist.
The three guests were basically trying to tell us that you know, it can be sensitive, but it’s just a party and people have to have humour. Ugh. Let’s back up here. Do these people realise that Adolf Hitler was responsible for the deaths of about six million people. SIX MILLION, that’s more than the population of Melbourne! Millions of other people were devastated by the holocaust and in terms of history, the second world war was not that long ago.
There are people alive today who were directly effected by what happened. Sure, Hitler is dead and a lot of people living today weren’t alive when this tragedy unfolded but Hitler’s ideas and beliefs still inspire people. That’s why neo-nazis exist, I wonder if the people on Monday’s show have heard of them?
The image of Adolf Hitler does NOT and should not belong at a party. Dressing up as him is not funny… at all and it is not just disrespectful to the innocent people who died, it is disrespectful to humanity.
