This platform will selfdestruct in no time. Buh bye.
Cette plateforme s’autodétruira sous peu. Babaille.

Oui, je vais continuer à blogger (tu penses). En français.
Allez, on se retrouve de l’autre côté !

Yet !

I’m still here around. But as you can see some things have changed.

I’m missing NYC already. Have you ever had this feeling that something was going to play an important part in your life? I’ve always felt this way about Montreal, and about NYC.

I spent the last weekend between Manhattan and Brooklyn, in a luxurious hotel getting room service fries and brocoli and making mini bar cocktails… Plus the usual errands, running from shoot to shoot, meeting amazing people and eating Daiya Cheese pizza. All in all, the ultimate perfect weekend.

I met with my New York lovers. I have an exclusive photographic relationship with them. Ellen shot me with some amazing a-morir sunglasses; Kerin Rose is an absolute eyewear goddess. Ellen was her usual lovely, beautiful, funny and amazing self; gosh i love that woman.

Then Steve shot me with pieces from my favorite latex designer : House of Bias! Yay! Gorgeous, gorgeous lingerie. And i had the luck to had our shoots styles by RockLove, oh my. Precious, beautiful jewellery. And Steve! Genius, badass, amazing, rockstar.

Yes, i’m happy.

I miss you NYC. See you in March.

In the last episode of That Steam Girl :

Don’t worry. I’m back.

Let’s rewind and recollect memories from the latest events :

Roaming around your house wasting your time

No obligation just wasting your time

So why are you alone wasting your time

When you could be with me wasting your time

Well i’m a waste like you, with nothing else to do

May i waste your time too ?

Warding off regrets wasting your time

Smoking cigarettes wasting your time

I’m just a parasite wasting your time

Applying myself to wasting your time

Well i’m a waste like you, with nothing else to do

May i waste your time too ?

So why are you alone wasting your time

When you could be with me wasting your time

Well i’m a waste like you, with nothing else to do
May i waste your time too ?

My iPhone survived the jacuzzi.
I survived swine flu.
I met George Romero and saw Survival of the dead.

News are rather good !

What have you been up to ?

Hey ! Sorry for the lack of updates, i basically… dropped my iPhone in a jacuzzi bath.
All my recent pictures are gone, and i wanted to make a long picture update. FML. Plus i usually post via my phone, so until i get a new one, i’m kinda screwed ! Bear with me until i find a way to fix it, or to make notes with the paper and couple Sharpies i have at grasp.

little things, little things, they just wont go away
the little things,little things made me who i am today

PS :

When it comes to fashion, i usually know what i want, and what i don’t. If most of the trends for FW09 have got me undeniably excited for months already (having reworked the shoulders of a lot of my outfits over last year, and being glad to be able to rock some lace at work), there’s one that still leaves me wondering. Thigh. High. Boots.

Which ones ? Heels ? Flats ? Shiny ? Black ? Brown ? Leather ? Suedette ? Skin-tight ? Slouchy ? Evenings ? 9-to-5 material ? Ughh, my brain hurts. Let’s try and narrow the possibilities, maybe i’ll end up with some that are actually wearable. You know, irl.

Now the first image that comes to my mind, and i bet i’m not the only one, is this one :

 
Believe it or not, but i’m only now understanding the reference in the song that gave the movie its name ! Hehe.
Anyway, I guess we can count vinyl out. Or, i could send a resume to the Club Supersexe. Or i could pair them with this dress, and my Halloween costume would be ready. Wait a minute, i’m actually starting to think that’s a good idea.

I’m also questionning the wider top. We all know i like a tiny wee bit of tackiness (hell yes i do !), but i can’t even seem to find a pair where this part doesn’t bother me, for some reason… Oh, hello Francis !

Mmh… Uh oh.

That leaves me with skin-tight, and overall wide thigh-highs. I’m actually starting to wish for chic and sexy (as opposed to skanky) dark ones, and flat relaxed ones in a more natural color… Strange how the more i look at them, the more i’m actually beginning to like thigh-high boots. Damn !!!

Narrower top and details, please ?

Just a bit more ?

Now that’s what i want !!

Oooh i’m actually really picturing myself in these. Short skirts, tights, lots of layering. What are savings for, anyway ?

Contrary to these, i’m actually a bit puzzled about some very high skin-tight ones… Are you not supposed to wear anything with them ? In winter ? Am i the only one to be either not too keen on the short-skirt-with-black-stiletto-thigh-highs ? And why get thigh-highs if you’re hiding the…thigh ?? Ah. Someone please help me on this one.

See ? This ones made my heart skip a bit, but… i can feel my butt freezing already.

Damn ! Still too high, and a little bit blah for me. I need more and less action at the same time. What i need is a versatile style, with smart details, that i could actually wear to work, over skinnies, leggings, or tights.

We’re getting there, Christian !

Versace, you heard me on this one. Too bad i have a rent to pay, and i also need the money to buy winter clothes to wear with.

Oooh…Wait… Fuck it ! I’m going commando !!!

What do you think about thigh-high boots ? Will/would you wear them, and why ?

I’m back on the dark side ! This has been quite a rollercoaster, but at least i celebrated it yesterday by shooting with Dwam, but finally not with P Mod (who was busy shooting The Man). Crazy how i always seem to dye my hair black the day before i’m supposed to shoot with him !
Being a brunette again feels ah-mah-zing. It nearly ended as a huge fail though when i ended up with only half of my hair done, and no dye left.

Dwam is basically a Master of Natural Light, and it didn’t hurt that she was lovely and funny to shoot with, or that i spent a couple hours with her cleavage in my face.

We shot pretty accessories from Sugar Vanity, and then a what will probably become a Zivity set on my terrace, involving fur and lamé and flexibility. Being afraid of heights, that was quite an accomplishment! However, i can tell that my neighbour didn’t look too thrilled… I can understand that not being able to get out of your place without being flashed must be tedious.

It was Goodbye Day. They both left after a dozen days in Montreal, and i’m hoping they settle down here really soon! My lovely wifey Alice also left after a weekend of extravaganza and epic quotes. DO NOT WANT !

I’m so tired, it doesn’t even make sense. Memories of the weekend are nothing but bright, blurry flashes. Latextacy ball, Tattoo Art Montreal, taxis, buses, adrenaline, runways, running, lucky encounters, bars, houses, parties… Intense.

Don’t you think it’s astounding how some people believe they can become something important being fake and using people? No luck, that’s not happening. You get what you deserve, sooner or later.

Let’s not end on a negative note:

Coming Soon !

. I’m getting my 3 page spread in the current Tatouage Magazine scanned, so i’ll be able to post it soon!

. I’ve been brainstorming a lot about what i should regularly blog about, and bi-weekly columns will appear soon!

. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Fashion Question !
