When I was 12 or 13 I had one pair of pants from Kim Gordon's old line, X-Girl. They were a skinny, almost tapered cut and they were bright green. I made my mom take me all the way down to LA to buy it. I remember my mom's old car barely making it around Fullerton, let alone all the way to Melrose, but keep in mind, I had the mindset of a pre-teen determined to get what I wanted. The pants were expensive at the time to us, but since I rarely asked for anything, it was an early birthday/Christmas/Easter/"That's it for the year"-type gift. Of course my friends made of fun when I wore them to school. I didn't care though. I even wore it with my Sonic Youth shirt and I was made fun of double time for that move. Sadly, I can't remember what happened to them. I probably grew out of them, wore them to their death or suddenly became aware that they were bright green. Whichever came first.
A few months ago at the LAPL, I found these adorable cards. 18 cards and envelopes on sale for $2.99. Yep, it was a bargain. I'm pretty selective on who I send these too thinking I will never find them for such a good price. Buuuuut, I was clicking on etsy when I found a very familiar shop. I couldn't figure it out right away. It took me a few minutes but it clicked.
I am still not going to pass these out like cheap flyers, but at least now I know where I can stock up.
I want Spring to come. Faded Polaroids, perfect weather, my birthday, and most importantly, bike rides. Bicycles are beautifully structured; they look good on everything. The simpler, the better.

These photos don't do it justice since my digital camera is super old and and has seen better days.
I do appreciate anything handmade especially when it's awesome.
