Avenging rock star

Same 'ole, same 'ole. My mod Emma Peel Avenger jumpsuit, in red wool, vintage, by Gordi of Montreal, featuring a groovalicious hip-slung belt and rear zip. I had to resew the seams, which can only be expected from a garment designed for action and intrigue, such as exploring high-tech volcano hide-outs used by bad guys and partying in Monte Carlo to schmooze intel from other secret agents. Sigh.

With it, I'm wearing my License to Wear (on account of that deadly collar) maxi vintage cape of Welsh wool, my diamond-encrusted meteorite pendant, and my brown leather ankle boots. AND rings that O made me, also available in his Etsy store HERE.

I've worn all of these things before on Bag'n'B. Nothing new to look at here, folks. Just move it along. (I posted the cape HERE and on IG HERE, I think there was somewhere else too but I can't find it; my labels are too stellar.)

Well, except, I do like this red wall. And on the opposite dark brown wall there was this very narrow patch of bright sunlight. I don't know what I'm stepping on. I don't want to know. As a high-action woman, I do what must be done.

I put white on my eyebrows because. And blue mascara which you can't even see. Pfft.

I've purchased almost no clothing over the last couple of months. The clothes I have provide a Rubik's Cube of styling possibilities. One little twist and a whole new and equally-satisfying (I keep telling myself that) combination is revealed. Sometimes I match up the panes, which you're supposed to do, but the results are more gasp-y when I don't. 

Fact: The Rubik's Cube has 43 quintillion possible combinations, just under the square of the Earth's population. No wonder my closet feels so full.

Plus, I haven't been seeing much I like on the racks lately. I don't know if it's because most of it is cheap, falling-apart crappy clothing and the cool pieces are running out(!), or if it's because my eye has become dulled after that unfortunate seasonal closet-switch-over incident a while ago, where friend Suzanne Carillo had me dancing around a big trash barrel singing, "I'm an effing rock star! Who's your momma now?" See her hilarious post HERE. And my comment HERE. 

Speaking of effing rock stars... I filmed this video clip below in a downtown alley yesterday. 

If you think I just put on a coat and sunglasses, you'd be wrong. 

What I put on is a quintuple platinum LP (and 8-track cassette) 

and a sold-out global tour. Hurray! 

The power of the clothes. 

Who can say no to that? Not me. Nunh. I'm also wearing a vintage cheongsam-type dress, double-thick warm fabric, and Zara pants from My Sister's Closet. AND MY MAGIC LOUPE, which O has restocked in his store again, HERE.

When I dress like a rock star, I walk like one too, in varying degrees. All my outfits affect how I carry myself. One morning, when I was feeling the vibe, a woman walking past slowed and gasped, quote: "You look like a rock star!" That's what I'm talking about. I replied like Elvis, "Why, thank you very much," and continued on my way.

Dreams are free. 

My imagination is vast - 

and so is my closet. 

(Um, my closet is not that vast, not vast enough by far, definitely not as vast as my imagination, it's decidedly UNVAST. I hate it when architecture girdles my imagination, Forty-three quintillion? Puh.)

Shortly after my crew (tripod, remote control, wheelie cart, and me) called it a wrap, I bumped into Sue of A Colourful Canvas and her partner G, and crashed their lunch. And eerily, the last time I wore this dress was when I met up with Sue. Neener neener.

And we all bumped into Jane Masutani, whom we met at the big summer blogger meetup a couple of years ago, and her partner. It was one of those days. A good one.

I'm going to link up to Patti's Visible Monday at Not Dead Yet Style and Catherine's #iwillwearwhatilike at Not Dressed as Lamb. See you there!!!

Hugs and happy dances for visiting!
