THE LIFE OF fashionologie, AS TOLD BY RANDOM FACTOIDS:
I am a twenty-something American girl who wishes she was older (so maybe her life would be more figured out) and younger (because getting old scares her) at the same time.
I have two different-colored eyes. Mixed together, they make turquoise, my favorite color.
I am a shoemonger.
When I was 4, I was told by a friend's mom that I conversed like a 45-year-old woman.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2003 collection, because it was inspired by pirates. I swear I’ll learn to swashbuckle before I die. Besides, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, and I must learn how to slay you.
I have eaten snails, duck, quail, snake, shark, ostrich, raw fish, alligator, goose liver, frog, wild boar, fried guinea pig, and ebola-infested monkey. And liked all of them. In other words, I have a cast-iron stomach. And yet, I am vomit-phobic. Go figure.
I am a self-proclaimed francophile. Je suis convaincue que la France est ma vraie patrie.
When my mother brought me to the fabric store as a child, I always beelined to the cocktail dress fabric (think cloth dripping in sequins). She taught me how to sew when I was 8 -- I made enough scrunchies to play in them like most kids play in leaf piles.
I love British accents. Not the uppercrust, posh would-you-like-tea-and-crumpets ones, but the dirty, cursing I'll-knock-your-face-off street ones.
I am jealous of the garden gnome that Amelie sent flying around the world. I've been bitten by the travel bug -- you name the place, I want to visit it.
I love the way it feels when a snake is slithering around my arm.
The character Blanche DuBois from A Streetcar Named Desire, who lives and dies in the attempt to surround herself with lovely things, intrigues me.
If I had to live in another time, I would be a Medieval maiden who lived in a castle turret and had long wavy hair. With my luck, however, I would be wiped out by the Black Plague (mmm...buboes) before I could find my knight in shining armor.
I think Indian people are some of the most beautiful people in the world.
Sometimes I wish men were more womanly, and women were more manly.
As a toddler, I said tee-too, instead of thank you. So tee-too for coming, I hope you enjoy the site.
