Wax Poetic

The snow started early in the morning and it snowed all damn day. It was also cold as f*ck and windy, so I felt pretty confident that creepers would be at an all-time low. Boy was I wrong. Haha. I don't know what it is about me. I must give off some kind of silent signal or palpable vibration, because the once desolate street suddenly got busier. I'm talking rando passersby, slow moving vehicles and vehicles parking on the same side of the street I was on. Where all of these people were going, I had no idea.

I know that one set of people in particular had, apparently, no place to be and weren't in any rush, because they parked their car to my immediate right...like right behind me. Then they sat in their car the entire time I was taking photos. Haha. Holy f*cking shit, you guys. Holy f*cking shit. Soooo, yeah. Not only did I have to do my best to pretend that I wasn't freezing my ever loving balls off, but I also had to pretend that I didn't have a pair of randos gawking at me from their running car parked off to the side.

Zeus give me strength. >_< Hehe. Don't even get me started on the dude at the matcha tea place that we went to after this to warm up. I thought his eyes were going to pop out of his skull, he was staring at me so intensely. o_O At any rate, this is just another remix of old stuff made to look new. The vintage poncho was a last minute addition. I tried on a bunch of scarves before the poncho caught my eye. I liked the subdued color contrast and the fact that I kind of felt like a modern gunslinger while wearing it.

Yep. It's a simple outfit without any really complicated layering, but I think it still gets the job done. There are lots of different patterns and textures---leather, knits, fringe, zippers, buckles, etc. I dig it. I wonder if those people creeping me from the comfort of their car liked the outfit. Hmm. I'm going to say, yeah. Yeah, they did. Haha. Seriously, though, you guys. So crazy. Heh. Have a good weekend! Stay warm!

Ha ha! Too funny. The lengths you go to for your blog photos. I would have packed it up immediately. It's hard enough taking them in the privacy of my own home with my pug staring at me.

Hehehe. Honestly, I've been through worse. Plus, I always feel better when my partner is with me. He helps take my mind off of weirdos. :P

I bet the "car people" liked your outfit! I hate when it happens, a place is empty and suddenly, one starts to pose and it's full, argh! I loved your outfit, especially the poncho! The colors are nice and go well with the jacket and I loved the boots! Hope you have a lovely day!

You legit had me rolling with this post. I know the gawker thing all too well--especially since I take my own photos with a tripod in downtown Denver area (most of the time). It is abundant. I have many, many stories including being made to pay a "toll" by a homeless guy to use an area for photos. People are ridiculous.

A toll? Hahaha. Wtf. Yeah, man. People are weird. I try to go to less populated areas with my tripod, because I'm afraid of someone knocking it over or stealing it. :F~ I haven't had to worry about that in awhile, though. My partner has been helping me out a lot and I'm super grateful, especially in the cold weather! <3
