After 7 years of having lobes stretched to 7/8s of an inch, I decided to have them reconstructed. I still find stretched lobes, as well as all other body modifications very attractive...just not on myself. In my early teens I acquired a total of 26 piercings, as well as a dermal anchor. In the past year or two, I have slowly been removing piercing after piercing, and am now down to 4 plus the anchor (which I still quite like). Why couldn't my parents have been more strict???? Anyhoo, I am BEYOND excited to be able to wear earrings in a month! The stitches come out in six days and then I have to wait 3 weeks before re-piercing. Being that I am an awful shopaholic and terrible at waiting for anything, I have spent the past few months putting together a collection of bakelite earrings. Here they are in their little vintage earrings box!<br />

There were over 80 vendors packed into the Metropolitan Pavilion...it was heaven! Unfortunaetly, there was no photography allowed of the garments, so hopefully the pictures of my findings will suffice! While I somehow managed to control my spending and only come home with a few pieces, I did find some AMAZING things! First, I bought these two bakelite rings, one a dark green and the other a marbleized black.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wu8NBvGwKLk/Ty3twL1kFtI/AAAAAAAAAMo/ENM8j1ytOIo/s1600/Picture+6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wu8NBvGwKLk/Ty3twL1kFtI/AAAAAAAAAMo/ENM8j1ytOIo/s400/Picture+6.png" width="400" /></a></div>Second is a gorgeous 1940s rayon dress with fantastic buttons. I have been compulsively buying 40s and 30s rayon lately, as made evident by the next few purchases...<br />

And lastly, I forgot to take a photo of the dress I wore today, but here is a close up of the adorable flamingo dancer print:<br />

<br />
For the longest time I never wanted to wear novelty prints....I'm not sure why, maybe they just felt a little too flashy or silly. But for the past few months they are all I have been wanting to buy! Nothing beats an unusual or hard to find novelty pattern fabric, especially if it happens to be rayon!! <br />
<br />
<br />
That's all folks,<br />

My fella and I did get to go to the Merchant House Museum today, which I absolutely loved! It's a house on 4th street in Noho that was owned by the same family from 1830 to 1933. When the last family member died, the city turned it into a small museum where visitors get a chance to see what upper middle class living in 19th century NYC was like. All the furniture and decor is original to the home (all mid to late 19th century) and almost everything in the house comes with it's own history and back story (via a small book that is given to everyone who enters). Unfortunately, photographs were not allowed inside the house (BOO!!) but I was able to snap a quick photo in the courtyard outside.<br />

In other news, the winter weather has allowed me start wearing my "new" 1940s winter boots! I had searched for a pair just like this for about 2 years when I found these babies in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/fraeuleincaroline">Fraulein Caroline's</a> Etsy shop. I almost cried when I saw them in my size and price range! In fact, I think I may have actually teared up a little. They are the perfect winter boots - they keep my toes warm and are absolutely beautiful. Definitely one of my best purchases ever!<br />

After almost a year of no blogging, I have decided to give it another try! What changed my stubborn mind you might ask? I recently made the horrible 21st century decision to get an iphone (4, not 4S!)...which means i can now have a camera with me wherever I go. All my other cameras are vintage or antique - meaning they require film and several minutes to set up one shot - making them not so convenient for everyday snapshots and such. So, between the regular phone camera and the instagram program (which I am ashamed to admit that I have somewhat taken a liking to) I can now take pictures wherever I go and - more importantly- have something to show on this blog other than photos taken from the internet or at home. Horray! So without further ado, here are a few random pictures for your vieweing pleasure:<br />

For those of you who haven't spent too much time in tattoo shops, I shall explain these two tattoos. Every year on Friday the 13th it's tradition for a lot of tattoo shops to do $13 friday the 13th tattoos. There will be a sheet of flash - a bunch of small tattoo designs drawn up for customers to choose from - all with a friday the 13th theme. I always thought this tradition was a bit silly, but when I saw the sheet of flash that the artists at my shop drew up for the day, I decided a 4 leaf clover would be perfect for the tiny spot by my elbow. My boyfriend got a skull on the inside of his bicep.Ruby B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13629157398879422602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698066714358650815.post-27841454663120272622011-04-02T16:43:00.000-07:002011-04-02T16:43:46.062-07:00Recent PurchasesThings have been quite stressful lately, and for me, nothing fixes stress like some new purchases! I have behaved though, as nothing has cost me more than 25 bucks.<br />
<br />
First, I purchased this beautiful antique glove box, which I am using to store my bakelite jewelery collection (as I only have 2 pars of gloves...not enough to fill a whole box)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z8sAhbIvizc/TZeuX2Z4lOI/AAAAAAAAAG0/91x_IlBrahs/s1600/glove.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z8sAhbIvizc/TZeuX2Z4lOI/AAAAAAAAAG0/91x_IlBrahs/s320/glove.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Then I "won" this box of 4 pairs of full fashioned stockings on Ebay. How rare it is for me to find a shade that I like (because I am so pale and most stockings that I find are too dark for me...it just looks ridiculous) I absolutely love vintage stockings - they look better, feel better, and last longer than modern stockings. I especially love cuban heels, although european or french heels are just as nice. <br />

I have wanted one forever, but have never found one that is both in my size and affordable. There is a tiny hole on the back that will be very easy to fix, but she insisted on lowering the price because of it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-47-y0SJcZwE/TZet4MqKnWI/AAAAAAAAAGw/YA_flG0FlTE/s320/49er.jpg" width="320" /></div>Here are some old 49'er ads:<br />

I woke up feeling about 30% better, put myself together and went to class.....and then the second I got to class started getting "the chills" and my voice almost completely disappeared. Of course, it had to be my one class where the professor is a giant bastard who hates me and gave me a hard time for leaving. Too bad!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, when I arrived back home there were a few lovelies waiting for me in my mailbox...as if they knew I was in desperate need of a pick-me-up!<br />
<br />

(Because my collection of 5 million hair flowers just isn't enough!) </div><br />
Hopefully I will have something much more exciting to blog about once I am better...<br />
<br />
Always,<br />

Things have been so hectic lately that I haven't really done anything "post-worthy"-well, with the exception of plenty of ebay/etsy searching, but I feel like posting photos of things that I do not even own more than once in a while gets a bit tedious and repetitive.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> ~The rest of this post is completely unrelated to the rest of my blog and may cause your mouth to start watering uncontrollably~</div><br />
<br />
HOWEVER, I did have the most amazing meal EVER yesterday! We went to The Crooked Tree (a wonderful little creperie) and although it was very naughty, ordered the sweet crepe special: The S'mores Crepe! It was composed of melted Belgian chocolate, homemade marshmallows, and tons of graham cracker. There really is nothing better!!!<br />

<br />
The photos do them no justice at all, in person they are a beautiful copper-ish color that changes with the light. Perhaps I'll try to take a better picture of them once I get the lenses put in. Funny, being a photographer/photo student, you'd think I would have a better digital camera! Film is just so much nicer.<br />

Being the crazy shopoholic that I am, this just made me want to look for even more lovely gloves online. So, here is some unnecessary glove porn (click on the link to purchase):<br />
