Hello there,
Today is September 22nd, so it's the last chance to celebrate Virgo season and the neuroses and obsessions and organizational diseases that make Virgos like me so much fun to be around (ahem), and - it turns out - such fantabulous fashion bloggers. I didn't realize until this year how many of my fave internet ladiez are Virgies... but look!
Sarah Von
This incredibly, disgustingly cool and world-improving lady is not only an ESL teacher, a world traveler, the resident of the most adorably and chic apartment EVER and the author of
Yes and Yes, but she's also such a Virgo that she started
The Secret Society of List Addicts, which I keep meaning to join at some point.
Her lists are awesome. Like this one:
Nubby and Gala
Each incredibly successful fashion/lifestyle bloggers in their own right,
Gala Darling and
Nubby Twiglet are the perfect pair. Of COURSE they hosted a
joint birthday party in the park, and coordinated their outfits (P.S. Check out Nubby's "Avant Garde" necklace made by
my friend Jen!). Gala's list-making and heart-checkbox-check-offing is nothin' but Virgo, as is Nubby's obvious organizational skillz and serious dedication (to glossy, glossy black).
Birthday cuteness. I'm guessing the only reason Nubby's cupcake isn't color-coded to her outfit is that icing doesn't come in black.
Keiko Lynn
Long, long ago, I was a college student re-making vintage clothing and selling it on the internets. Keiko's e-shop,
Postlapsaria, was the first legit place to sell my pieces, and Keiko is not only a total doll but also gorgeous and a really talented designer. Oh, and she loves bunnies.
Virgos are really good at matching. I bet she doesn't even realize that she matched the cuffs of her shorts to the flowers on her rad vintage top. GAWDD.
Me
I can't compete with the above luminaries of fashion bloggary, but I can definitely rival any of them, I betcha, in Virgo quirks. I do enjoy the lists, and in perfecting all kinds of totally unnecessary visual bits and pieces. I luurrrve dorky themes, so every year, come birthday time, I end up sitting up late on my couch making ridiculous things like this:
...and my friends know me well enough that they actually managed to color-coordinate my birthday by pure guesswork. Sighhh.
ice creamania!
YAY.
On that goofy, pink note: onward with productivity... and happy belated birthday to all :)
