BLOG TROLL

Have you visited this awesome lady over at THRIFT AND SHOUT?

Lindsay Turner runs a blog that she updates almost every day (and for someone camping out in industrial edmonton, that is a PLUS!) and profiles all of her wicked awesome thrift store finds and proudly displayes how much she pays for it all. As a vintage shopper and seller it's pretty groovy to see what kind of treasures are floating around Ohio.

We may have different styles, but this gal looks great and just recently featured a MAJOR black leather motorcycle jacket in her Ebay shop, so check out her blog and get on the thrifting train. All the cool kids are doing it.

CHECK OUT THOSE WEDGES!

CHECK IT!







BOOTIFUL

These boots, they're just. so. sexy.

If I wasn't all "Getting Married" and "Self Employed" I would keep these amazing boots for myself. Vintage, NEVER worn,  and SERIOUSLY, silver capped toes, star studs and chains, Black leather and a sexy heel?

DROOL. Click if you wanna buy them from WILDTHINGVINTAGE. 


Joan Jett herself would cut a bitch for these babies.

Mortiis simply walks in to Mordor...

I remember seeing this grainy video on muchLOUD back in high school and thinking, wow, there is one cakey makeup application. Although I recently discovered the most pimp mortiis picture in existence, and it made him slightly more bad ass. Norway's national treasure just went ghetto fab.

""Guys, NO ONE had a jacuzzi we could borrow?! I look like i'm in the kiddie pool.... mmm, yummy kiddies..."


To those of you who were keeping the dream alive, no, santa isn't real, the tooth fairy was your parents and Mortiis is not, in fact, an elvin god. I'm afraid his name is probably Niel or Tom of the Finnish equivalent to that.



But let's remember him as this:
Ville: "Okay! Okay! You are a level ten goth, I am but a 5...maybe 6?"


Anyway, let's take a trip back to the yesteryear of all things Mortiified and check out his biggest hit, "Parasite god" ...yes, that unforgettable classic.

WE BE GETTIN CRAFTY, BITCHES!

Now that I'm all settled in Edmonton, "The Wedding Singer" is open, and my awesome Fiance Robin Black has come and gone, I'm left twiddling my thumbs in my hotel room. Besides managing WILDTHINGVINTAGE and hitting the gym, I'm goin old school, tossing (okay gently placing) my iphone aside, and taking up cross stitch and needlepoint. Laugh away, techno geeks, but I am in some seriously danger of having some DIRTY AWESOME walls back home. 


Cross stitch isn't for sissies. Check it.






If you ever wanna get into it, it's a cheap and fun way to have something awesome on your wall that wasn't peeled off a flyer board or bought on clearance at Urban Outfitters. Here's my first effort:
SMALL BUT MIGHTY!

Okay, so it's not the ultimate in sexy. But it's a start. Next up is a cupcake, then a pinup santa chick. 

You want to start? There are tons of awesome patterns available for under ten bones on etsy. Sellers are friendly and will give you all the help you need.

Start with something like this (Click on any image to be carried to the listing)




And soon you'll be doing this:


And you will look as sexy as this:



GET STITCHING, TRAMPS AND GENTS!
