Two Part

This is a three part post. 

Part one:

I just wanted to share this photo of my two year old son and I. Chocolate face and all. Sharing the peace with the world. I am going to teach him to love and be respectful. 

Part two: 

I love Susie Bubble. She has a unique style that is a little street and a little runway. I think that everyone should try to be like she is. What I mean by that is to wear what you feel. Not to literally be just like her. If you feel a little disorganized and spastic, put on some neon and layer it up! If you feel like you are going to accomplish something then wear a blazer and a cute skirt. Or if you just feel like being you- experiment and mix-match! Point is- wear whatever the hell you want! today I have on GIANT pants. I bought them in Sursnes, France two years ago at their weds. market and I wear them all the time. They are my "I do what I want" pants. In a way they make me feel safe. ( also I could hide a midget in them). Photo below.

Photo from her website ( linked above) 

Yes, These ARE my pants. I love em'. 

Hmmm, what was my third part?? I forgot already...Well, I guess I will just say all of this instead. I'm not sure how to post all of this on my page yet,but you can follow me on twitter @ravenamaru

 I don't actually know how to use twitter yet either. So follow me and watch me as I learn how to work this damn thing. Another side note I am listening to  " Un Jeune Homme Chantait" De Edith Piaf.

Love her. My favorite song from her is "Non, Je Ne Regret" I sing it all the time, In my car, In the shower, In the line at the supermarché. All of the above +. I think I can sing like her, but I sound more like Carey Mulligan  in "Shame". Owch. I suggest everyone listen to Edith Piaf, and If you don't mind lots of odd sex scenes, the film Shame.

Occasionally I wonder

Occasionally I wonder about what designers think their consumer thinks about what they think about them.

Ya with me?

I'm wondering if when designers make garments, do they say this about their consumer :

" This is who you are"

or do they say this?

"This is who you want to be"

It's all together possible that they think neither, but just as possible that they do think one of those.

I would hope that they make clothes that highlight women in all of their glory. That they are compassionate, but know how to tell the bad things to just fuck off. That all women are different and one garment would look like another if it were on her instead of you. That women make the world go round'. That women work like servants, yet should be treated like queens. that that that this this this. That designers only exist because of the wonder women that inspire them. Cheers to all of the wonder women that you know and that I know. Let's all hope designers appreciate every hair on their scalp and every thought in their heads.
