Fussing over my lack of a concrete style again, rrrgh. We can revisit wardrobe when I put more effort and cash into getting things tailored/ dyed/ DIYed though.

[tutuprincesse]

no one has whiter names than these comp kids.

it’s like bristyn brynlee everleigh tinsley kinsley annsley ayden gracyn lakyn blakelyn like ENOUGH

I mean, they are, in fact, white 💀 (at least, all the ones I recognize) I think they're nice names, I just don't understand the spelling for some

[vympr]

if you have 2 dollars to spare lakyn carlton has a great resource that compiles a bunch of sustainable fashion sites + highlights the size inclusive ones + has a range of prices. a lot of them are still pretty expensive but i've had luck finding secondhand pieces from some of these places on thredup/ebay etc. thought i'd share; it really is a great resource for anyone who wants shop sustainably and has no idea where to start. https: //www. lakyn. style /product-page/where-2-shop-womenswear

Doc if a friend was intent on giving her kid a name that you thought was truly terrible, would you tell her so or keep quiet about it?

I am of the opinion, and I would tell her so, that the smartest thing to do when you've chosen your child's name definitively, is to tell fucking NO ONE until they are born. It's easy to argue about a kid's name before they exist, harder when you just introduce them.

With very few exceptions, when I was pregnant and we decided on our names for a girl or boy, we didn't tell anyone. I didn't want to have the fucking argument. One of my very close friends that I did tell, actually legitimately hurt my feelings by laughing and telling me she thought it was old and ugly. Luckily, I'm me, and that changed my mind literally none, it was a fait accompli, and, as the ancient Greeks said, suck it.

I think I dodged a lot of annoyance by not telling anyone, and once she was born it was just like, "Well, there we are." Recommend it 100%.

So, before she ever told me, I would tell her, "Please do not tell me this unless you want my opinion" I often tell people not to ask my opinion if they don't want it, because if you want it, I will give it, and though I will try to be kind about it, I am not often dishonest. This is true of many major things in life. I used to be a wedding planner and so people love to ask me about their weddings. Anyway.

I have opinions about everything, all the time, and please trust that I hold my breath every time a friend or acquaintance has a baby. Part of the reason (one of many) hit it off was when we were talking about kids, her attitude about names was "If it ain't in the bible, I don't want to hear about it" and that suited me right down to the ground. Baby names we liked, but given we aren't having another will never use: Solomon Starr, Rivka, Asa. So you get where we're coming from here. An admittedly specific viewpoint

I had an acquaintance who named her kid Mcconaughey, yes, as in Matthew, and I damn near had a fucking stroke. And then the whole Lakyn, Jaden, McKeltyn, I can't go there. Help. Stop yourselves. If I had a friend who told me, "No I want to know" first thing, is, and I'll get some blowback for this but whatever, "can people spell and say it?" It's all well and good to think that people should learn to say any name, but I am pragmatic, and my motto is very much "Work for the world you want, but in the meantime, get real." *I* love the name Yael, and Tzeitel, for example. But I think it would be real real shitty of me to tell my kid "Here, enjoy correcting everyone for the rest of your life." If *I* choose to change my name--and if I had changed my last name for marriage, I would have changed my first, and Yael was one side of the coin toss--to something that takes work, that's one thing. I didn't feel right asking that of my progeny.

Then I would go, "Please avoid naming your kid a noun, in general" though I suppose there are exceptions to this, but if I hear the words "Sparrow" or "Sailor" come out of your mouth, we're gonna have a fight next to the pastry case.

Then the third tier. Where, it's a perfectly fine and average name, I just don't much care for it. Your Matthews and Michelles. That, I would probably shrug. It's fine.

Before you think I'm an asshole (I am 100% an asshole) I am always EXTREMELY enthusiastic at people when they pick a name I think is great, so it's not like I'm all negative here. I've had people naming their babies Moira and Guadalupe and Cory and shit. Raya. Great. Applause, applause. There is actually a longer list of names I think are good than bad.

What The Hell Is Going On With Red Carpets?

So, the Golden Globes are on tonight. *Wendy Williams voice* Clap if you care.

That's what I thought.

Once upon a time, at least as recently as my childhood, even if you didn't see any of the films that were nominated at the Golden Globes or any of the shows nominated at the Emmys, or any of the plays nominated at the Tonys, you'd still tune in to the red carpet coverage to see rich people at their best: playing dress up in clothes none of us can afford.

But that time has clearly passed. 'Cause what the hell is this?

Now, I haven't watched The Bear, but does Ayo Edebiri play a dishwasher? What are those gloves?

Never mind the noticeable absence of neck adornment with many perfectly fine gowns that absolutely need jewelry, what is going on!? All the wrinkled gowns, poor (or no) tailoring, ugly poufs and peplums and some of the worst shoe choices I've ever seen in my life could all be excused if it weren't all such a bore.

Minds much smarter than I have speculated that there's truly nothing new left to be done. I don't believe it. What I do believe, however, is that celebrities are scared to do it. Scared to go too far, scared to really push the envelope for fear they'll be eviscerated on social media, and so they go for what's safe and...still get eviscerated on social media.

But why are they so afraid of us not liking their outfits? Who the hell are we? Back in the day, you had Joan Rivers to impress, you had tabloids at the cash register of every supermarket just itching to put you on the Worst Dressed List, and, usually, no stylist to create your vision and make it the best it could possibly be. How have we gone so far backwards in a world that accepts Crocs as a valid fashion choice?

My earliest fashion WOW moment was Celine Dion and her backwards Galliano tuxedo which, if you're well-versed in fashion lore, you know was a total flop at the time. But we look back on it now as one of the most daring, iconic looks of the 90s.

Now, I can admit that a lot has been done, so maybe there is a lot less left to do, but, it seems like nobody wants to even try to make a moment that no one has ever seen before, and I can't help but think about how if the celebs are too scared, regular people have to be terrified to try to push the envelope. I mean, not to constantly go back to the oversaturation of pre-packaged aesthetics that one only needs to add to cart to create an entirely new identity, but, it does appear that we, as a collective, are in a real dry spell when it comes to newness. Even those constant new aesthetics are just repackaging of old ideas. Has a fear of social media backlash permeated the masses? Are we all paralyzed at the idea of being a little "out there" lest some faceless TikTokUser30592058 say something mean?

Maybe. Or maybe I could be speaking too soon. Perhaps we'll look back on some the neck-less looks of today with fondness. I could certainly make a case for Jessica Chastain's dress being one of the best tonight if only she had gone the extra mile to actually style it.

But, I don't know. When I imagine the 2023 version of a 7-year-old Lakyn--the aspiring fashion designer she was--looking at the red carpet today, I just don't see that WOW moment. Does anyone feel inspired by this?

And where the F$%K are the necklaces!!??!

COMING SOON! 104 Lakyn Dr CROSSVILLE, TN, 38571

[anonyma13]

As someone who has always cared about the human and environmental cost of the fashion and textile industries but also really, really likes clothes, I have been diving into the world of slow fashion, ethical brands, and buying less.

I’m tracking my daily outfits using the Stylebook app (really love it, it’s a flat $4 for the app but it’s only for iOS though), saving tons of clothes from Aja Barber’s and Lakyn Carlton’s lists of ethical brands, and generally trying to pay better attention to what I’m buying and why. The main reasons I’ve identified for why/when I buy clothes are:

When I am physically exhausted and can’t make art or go the things that make me happy and desperately need a dopamine boost.

Because I am spectacularly bad at predicting what I will continue to love or want to wear in the future.

Because my body has changed dramatically in the last five years and the styles and sizes that I had no longer fit or worked on me anymore.

Because I’m bored and I just like clothes (but I’ve curbed this impulse a LOT in the last couple years, so hooray for me!)

Because I grew up without a lot of money and had to pinch and save for every last thing so new things were very rare and very exciting. And then when I grew up and finally had a job and my own money, my parents would ridicule me for wanting to spend it on clothes.

I had a whole paragraph here about how to know whether I love a thing or just the idea of the thing, and whether I will continue loving it in the future but tumblr ate it. For all of my adoration for Marie Kondo’s method I truly have no idea how to know if something sparks joy.

I have trouble curbing my impulses and shopping is instant dopamine. Secondhand shopping is even better because it’s a slot machine and a puzzle to crack and the thrill of a bargain all in one. And I am so fucking good at it.

Because nothing fits and I’m tired of seeing the same shit in my closet and being frustrated that nothing works and I’m trying very hard not to hate my body so I cleaned everything out and sent it to goodwill and now I don’t have any pants to wear.

Realizing just how bad my fatigue has been lately and how it’s impacting my life has been huge. I’m not beating myself up for doing things like impulse shopping or eating candy or not being able to cook a healthy meal when I feel like crap, and I’m getting it treated which is good.

I’m also lucky enough to be in a financial situation where I’m fine spending $100-200 per piece if it means it’s something that I really, really love and will wear until it falls apart, but the more I start to seriously consider buying something I start second guessing myself pretty hard about whether it’s worth it to me.

I’m mostly in the market for pants right now and someone tell me why I am seeing SO MANY pairs of nearly identical elastic waist pants with no shaping or structure to them at all?? I need something with pockets that won’t slide down my ass with the weight of my phone! I don’t want to look sloppy and I can’t look like I’m in pjs at work!!

I’m also so confused about my measurements when I’m shopping. My waist and hip measurements are 1-2 sizes apart on every single size chart I look at. My hips say I’m a U.S. size 8 but my waist measurement says I’m a 10-12? I have problems with things being too tight in the waist and it feels awful so I sized up for my latest purchase and had to exchange them. The smaller size will be delivered tomorrow and hopefully they will work and I will like them.

I’m also trying to find the comfortable spot between knowing that I can buy enough to meet my needs and not overbuying because “I can always get more.” Years of only being able to afford one pair of jeans and one pair of shoes and needing them to be appropriate for all weather, match all my possible outfits, etc and now being able to buy not just the things I need but also the things that make me happy has left me with a weird relationship to buying things.

I had an ear cuff that I got at the renaissance festival a few years ago and it became that One Thing that I wore every day that made me feel cool. I’ve lost and found it twice (once in the washer’s gasket, once we used the shop vac to retrieve it from the vent), and now it’s permanently lost (think the cats got to it), somehow being able to replace it easily made me even sadder than not having it at all because now it feels less special. I finally got one that I like and it’s actually better in some ways (flexible copper, will get a cool patina, lighter weight) but it still makes me sad.

Anyway.

Anathema Codex by Yolanda Olson & Jennifer Bene is available now + FREE in Kindle Unlimited!   “Wow, what a great read… I wish I could give it more than five stars” – Amazon reviewer   “Hot and gory, psychotic, and impossible to put down… a real adventure for all fans of everything dark and twisted.” – Amazon reviewer   “This trilogy has been a mind melt from the beginning and I absolutely loved it!” – Night Owl Book Blog   Get your copy today ➩ https://bit.ly/3Sx3zwv Add to your Goodreads TBR ➩ https://bit.ly/3dnYebE   The Acolyte   He never knew I existed. And he sure as hell didn’t care when I showed up on his doorstep, either. I only did it on a dare. But I guess the hope was there that he’d see me and maybe want to be in my life. I couldn’t have been more wrong. He hates me with the fire of a thousand suns even though he doesn’t know me. Maybe that’s just his personality, however, he’ll soon find out that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Let’s do this.   The God   Life was perfectly fine until some punk knocked on my front door. He says he’s my kid and I’m assuming that meant I was supposed to fall to my knees and worship at his altar. My knees hit the dirt for no one—not even the alleged fruit of my loins. Besides, I’ve had someone else on my mind for a while. Not that I’ve been able to avoid it. Ichabod mumbles about her in his sleep. Maybe the kid wants to meet his auntie … maybe I can finally get some well-deserved revenge. I can play faux daddy for a little while. There’s a bigger prize at the end of this rainbow. You can run, little girl, but you’ll never be able to hide.    The Lover   He looks just like him. It’s uncanny and terrifying all at once because I’m afraid that he acts like him too. Lakyn has to learn a lesson, and this was the only thing I was able to come up with to get him to understand that the world doesn’t revolve around him. That he should care about anyone that cares about him. I can’t help that I still love him. Twenty years later and it’s only gotten stronger while my resolve has gotten weaker. I wish Bea was here. She always knew how to handle him. I’m going to force Lakyn to make me a promise since he never goes back on his word. And maybe in the end, the three of us will be together again. Ready to raise hell.   ALSO AVAILABLE   The Malediction Saga ➩ https://amzn.to/3RXbnHL

Happy release day, K!! Chocolate Sin Cupcakes on Airplanes by K. Williams www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q1XP9V7 Check out the series: www.tiffanycarby.com/cupcake Lakyn kicked us out. Lennox won’t talk to me. I finally realized I’ve really messed up. Getting mad at Lakyn for something she didn’t do and didn’t even know about was stupid on my part. I should have asked Lakyn instead of taking some outsiders' word for it and break our bond. On top of that, my biggest fuck up to date has me persona non grata with anyone in my life. Now, I’m in Lakyn’s shoes. Before Lennox stopped talking to me, she told me I was toxic so she couldn’t be around me anymore. Even dad is disappointed in me.
