Halloween costume is GO!

Last night I finished up my costume for next Friday. Watch out!

In other news, I really should start pimping my blog. Since nobody reads it. And I've only provided one link to it. Haha. Oh well!

Dear Designer

Dear fancy fashion designer:

Thanks for tricking those with more dollars than sense into buying your hideous designs. Thanks to you, we can all giggle at the women who care more about labels than cut, fit, and generally looking good!

$950 Marc Jacobs dress (pillowcase?), nordstrom.com

This makes me want to grab the model, shout "PILLOWFIGHT!" and start beating preteen girls with her.

$2,200 Versace dress, nordstrom.com

Looks like a bad 80s music video. And not even in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Keep up the good (*snicker*) work, designers!

Halloween contest over at Daddy Likey!

Just in case anyone is actually reading this, here's a link to a cool contest by a cool girl on her cool blog! Check it out!

Up and running! (more or less)

Hi, and welcome to Fever Pants! This whole blog thing is a learning process for me, so I'm sure there'll be plenty of changes and additions to the format in the upcoming weeks. So my apologies in advance for anything seriously lacking over here!





But anyways, I figured this would be a great way for me to share things that I think are awesome, and learn about things that you guys think are awesome, too!

I'd say a few tidbits of information about me are in order:

• I'm a college student working on a BA in Spanish.


• I'm a total geek. My favorite movie is Aliens, my favorite TV show is The Venture Bros., and my current favorite non-American production is The Mighty Boosh.


• I love fashion, though I pretty much can't afford to be fashionable. I see something I like, peek into my wallet, and hear the echoes of dollar bills past. But I do enjoy gazing lovingly at the pages of InStyle, or TopShop's online store. And, of course, the various vintage wonders eBay has to offer (I can afford some of those).

That's it for now, stay tuned for slightly more interesting fare!
