If you didn't already know, I am a huge nerd. And I read a lot of awesome web-comics. One of them is Hark! A Vagrant which is written and drawn by Kate Beacon. ANYWAY, all of this build up is so I can show you this:
I love Queen Elizabeth.
This comic also reminded me of the 1998 movie Elizabeth starring Cate Blanchett, which is an AWESOME movie with AMAZING costumes and if you have the chance you should go watch it RIGHT NOW. You can really see the way her style changes the more powerful she gets. (See how I am using fashion as an excuse to post comics?)
OK BYE <3
PS do you read webcomics? What's your favorite one?
Vinny Blanco is a college rapper from NY who claims that his life is a party - I know him personally and can testify that this is pretty much true. He just dropped a new single FaceOff. It's a great party track so take a break from midterms and party it up to this song.

It's Friday night and I'm sitting at home knitting (I am learning to knit! YAY) and drinking tea and panicking.
hehehe
Anyways, here is another outfit from my Unfashion class.
As you may or may not know, I am going to LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA during Spring Break with my roomies! I CAN NOT WAIT. I am staying in Hollywood and we are also going to Disneyland. While I was internet creepin on Disneyland things (OBSESSION), I came across some rad illustrations of an imaginary post-apocalyptic Disneyland.
So for my outfit, I was inspired to create something that, if it was the apocalypse and someone was in Disneyland, and they just ran around grabbing things and throwing them on, they might wear.
Dang, I can't find the original images but I have them in m sketchbook I believveeeee so I will post a picture of that later.
lols at my grumpy face
My teacher's reaction to this outfit was "Nikki you are so wild" ahaha. My left side was completely bare except for a bandeau bra I borrowed from my roomie. I sewed strips of fabric together, added grommety eyelet hole things that I had to put on with pliers, and laced it around myself with a leather string. Then I burned all of the edges with a lighter. I almost lit myself on fire a few times, and breathed in a bunch of poly fumes. I would like to take a moment to apologize to the 4th floor of my building! ....the things I do for fashion. ;]
OKAY I have to go. As for my below post: PLEASE REPOST IT//LINK IT.
Also listen to this, it will help you get through your midterms or whatever you got goin' on this week.
