let me put my life in you

Hola! (I'm feeling the multicultural vibe today)
So yesterday evening I went to a party. Yesterday morning, I realised I hated all of the clothes I currently own, a dilemma that happens about once a week for me.
I know I said the Powerpuff girls shirt would be a badass black leather but then I came to the conclusion that I quite honestly couldn't be arsed.
Anyway when the above issue happens I have a tendency to explore my family's dress up box and it usually works out for me. Things I hated that last time I explored it, I love the next time. It's like a free Op Shop in many respects.
First I found this brown glittery turtleneck, popularised by my mother in the eighties.
And then I found this purple flinstones vest I was given when I was six by my looooovely parents, realised it was fucking cool, and then sewed some sleeves on it so I wouldn't freeze to death, which is an ongoing problem in my life and damn near impossible to get around.
Oh and then I crimped my hair while watching America's Next Top model because I felt like looking like a lion. No one fucks with lions.

Let me teach you a lesson about how to get the Powerpuff girls (next up for me is monsters inc) on a top of your very own:
Buy that t shirt transfer paper, you can get it from stationary shops and the like. Finding it will be the most challenging part of creating your top. 
Find your image, put it in mirror image (on macs you can do this in iphoto, I'd investigate how to do it on windows but realistically I just can't be bothered) oh and then print it out.
cut out the lil pictures and iron your shit on your shit. Except follow the instructions. They're there for a reason, kids. use like an old white T shirt, or you can pull a me and buy white t shirt fabric from a store and keep it handy for projects such as these.
top tip: be fucking careful when you peel the top bit of paper off because you WILL burn your fingers. It is a fact of life. Being careful will somewhat limit the damage but there's only so much you can do. 
Then you can cut around the shapes and sew them on something else!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or you can just leave them on the t shirt but who actually can be bothered wearing only white t shirts anymore.
And yeah go for it. go off and become the talk of the town or something. Not that you couldn't have done it all on your own. 

Speaking of town, yesterday I because a motherfucking grownup. I went to a bar. It was craycray, I sat down and soaked up the over 18 vibes while my friends sipped on their nine dollar beers. All in all, a classy evening.

XOXO
