Role models

So I've been looking at pictures of Helena Bonham Carter to convince myself I'll look okay thin. I mean, really -- deep-set eyes with dark circles, brunette snakes for hair, dresses messily, like she pulled her clothes from a big pile but they're all frilly and black so it's okay -- that's exactly me, isn't it?


Helena has a pair of signature weird mary janes I've admired, and apparently, they're comfort shoes. Article and photo here -- check out her cute outfit! Squee! They're comfort shoes, they go up to 11s, and apparently there's a dealer in Northern Virginia, not far from where my friend Viv lives.

Um.... I think the gods of slovenly black fashion are trying to tell me something.

There's a Z-Coil dealer in Nashville--the ads are on during local news a lot. I have seen exactly one person wearing them in public (although they make hidden coil versions, too)

Heyguesswhatguesswhat? I acquired a gigantic pot (thanks to Freecycle) which I have already used to overdye some things purple, and shall be moving on to black soon. You're my dying inspiration. *nods*

Those shoes are REALLY cool, and she's really a good role model to have, too.
