If you’re interested in fashion related posts, go HERE and read the next paragraph. If not, go ahead and read/look at my distraction of the day.
Okay, you’re reading this, so I assume you’re ready for some textile talk and girly gushing. These Dries Van Noten looks that Hannah-Rose of Capture the Castle (named after one of my very favorite novels) posted are catching my fancy. It’s actually an idea I was toying with just the other day: slouchy, ultra-comfy sweaters paired with something ultra-fem like a cute skirt. I love the outside looks, though the centered two may be a bit too bold for me to ever pull off. How do you feel of the slouchy meets girly look?
DISTRACTIONS!
Hm…for a distraction, maybe I’ll have to admit something embarrassing…Okay, I’ve one: I’m actually sort of enjoying watching Avatar with my brother now (no, not the movie. I have some seriously harsh words for the movie on how terribly idiotic I found it; I’m talking about the TV show that I listed a few posts back as being a failed attempt at familial bonding). Yup. It’s sad. The jokes are incredibly juvenile, but the concept of elemental control was the subject of three novels that I adored years ago (“and still do, in my heart” as Hyacinth of “Wives and Daughters” would say), so that’s a plus, and they have some feisty chicks that make it almost worth my time. (Really. May = pretty awesome emo fighting girl. Stewart hates her, I adore her. Toph = blind earth bender with an attitude—making her, of course, fabulous. Katara may have the coolest powers, but she’s an idiot. The circus girl who I can’t remember the name of = nearly as cool as the others, but apparently she wasn’t important enough to get her name into the Wiki article that just let me know that all of the protagonists/antagonists are under 17. Considering the animation, this show just became even more sad. Oh yeah, May is still the best.)
Okay, I’m thoroughly embarrassed, and I hope that you were thoroughly distracted.

I figured you would change sides about that show sooner or later. Now to wait for James Camron's Avatar to grow on you...
I feel a strange affection for the show, true, but it's sort of like the affection you feel for a so-ugly-it's-cute dog. Basically, I won't be watching the series over and over again (and it isn't likely that I'll ever attempt to watch the first 1 1/2 seasons.
Avatar. Will. Never. Grow. On. Me.
