Animal Garments

I like animals, and I like clothes. As a result of this, I have lots of clothes with animals on. Here are some of them.




1) A zebra tiger! I'd really like it if these animals were real. Maybe they are, and Zara (the shop, not some random woman called Zara) is actually involved in some sort of weird gene-splicing plot, and are putting their mutant animals on the front of T-shirts as some sort of perverse boast about their gene-splicing activities, and disguising it as Fashion. Oh, my.

2)Its funny because the lion thinks he's a cat. I also think I am a cat, sometimes, too...in any case, I meow a lot, so I sympathise with this little cartoon fella. (Its from New Look, ages ago)

3) I love my bear jumper <3 it is so ridiculously big and comfy. I was informed after I bought it that Big Animal Jumpers such as this one have some sort of relation to Flight of the Conchords, a show which I have only ever watched the last half of an episode of, whilst inebriated...and heard a few of the songs from. I think I'd really like it if I bothered to watch it, though. (Urban Outfitters, the 'vintage' (i.e. second hand but gorgeous) section).

4)ITS A CAT! It is fine too. (H&M)

5)Its another cat. With quite a foul mouth, how shocking! (Topshop)

6) Yet another cat. A 50-foot kitten, to be specific.BEWARE! I am wearing it. Or at least, I was at the time of taking the photo...which was quite a while ago. (Also Topshop, by by the concession 'Newbreed Girl')

Two Heroes




The first picture is Wall-e standing on my 1848 copy of Milton's Poetical Works. I love Wall-e; I bought him for 50p from the Disney Store, he has wheels <3
I also love Milton, and old books too. I wish there was some kind of interesting story behind my acquisition of this book...but there isn't, I got if from eBay. Oh well; its pretty cool and has some doodles in it, I wonder if they are Victorian doodles, I hope they are.

Shelf of Good Things.



There are lots of things in this picture. From l-r(ish);

My mushroom ashtray from Amsterdam (1st time I went)...its a shame I didn't clean it before taking this picture, because it has mushrooms on and they are nice to look at.

A Tutankhamun head - he belongs to my mom.

A big mushroom. This was a present from Paul, I can't remember when <3

A cocktail umbrella that I most probably kept as a reminder of a particularly good night out - the irony is, I can't remember what night out it is from. Bummer.

A mini bong from Amsterdam (2cd time I went) with a wooden Liberty Cap mushroom in it that I bought from a man sitting on the floor by the lake surrounded by wooden mushroom related goods, when I went to Keswick with Paul.

Vladimir the skull that Norma bought me from Reading festival, 2 years ago I think.

A rose, that is my sisters'.

A picture of a sexy lady in leopard print. I like leopard print. And sexy ladies. And pictures, if I'm honest.

A big rubber duck which I stole from a store display at Topman in Selfridges (a mannequin in a bath full of rubber ducks) - I like to think I rescued him from a horrible life of squalor. I then drew on him to make him look more suave.

A little rubber duck that squeaks, I got him free from someone promoting Kitsch, a club night at Gatecrasher

A small glass maneki neko (lucky beckoning cat) that Becky got me from a holiday somewhere.

The penguins from Madagascar, I got them from a Kinder Egg.
