International Dress-Up Day This Saturday!
[ 16 February 2007 ]
Hello kittens & other assorted small animals!
Just thought I would remind you that the first INTERNATIONAL DRESS-UP DAY is THIS SATURDAY!
The theme is: dress up as your favourite song!
My favourite song at the moment is “My Love” by Justin Timberlake (haha I am such a dork) but dressing as Cameron Diaz, or whoever his new love interest is, seems like a bit of a stretch.
One of my favourite songs of all time, however, is “Pour Me Another” by Atmosphere. If you haven’t heard it, you should. Basically the song is about getting over an unhealthy relationship. I’m going to use the following lyrics from the song as inspirational fodder:
Spill a little bit of blood on the streets for love.
Heal those cuts or hide ‘em underneath the polish, break another promise & take me as a hostage, hold your job down and let the zombies crowd around…
I can count the days ‘til you come back, or I can follow them sunrays down to the traintracks, I can stumble drunk over hope & love, or I could keep drinking until I sober up.
I’m going to dress like a love casualty. It ties in nicely with the Valentine’s Day thing, too. Lots of red, pink, ripped stockings, a super-pale face, red lipstick & bruises. Wish my friend Timmy Lee was here in Melbourne, he does the best fake bruises ever! I hope I don’t scare anyone at the Chinese New Year festivities too much!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

i’m planning on dressing like clair de lune – by debussy. one of my favourite songs, ever.
i’m going to wear a giant white petticoat, white lace slips & white beaded cardigan, pearls, white lacy earrings & little black & white slippers.
i’m-a going to dress up like the sunshine underground, by chemical brothers. so it’s basically either all black/earth tones. and then yellow underwear! and yellow accessories. because it’s ‘underground’ ha ha ha.
it’s funny to me.
Both your outfits sound fantastic! I just went back to white hair today so I’m going to have to play up the pink colour-scheme in my costume more deliberately than I would’ve had to yesterday!
i’m going to dress as sunny road by emiliana torrini… huge pink sunnies and a bright yellow frock complete with car brooch and big hair (as always). possibly no shoes at all as it’s forecast to be an absolute scorcher and i’ll be at at party in a park YAY. can’t wait to see your white hair, yum!
I bet you will be super-cute Miss Dee Dee! Oh & I have a picture of my hair at http://galadarling.livejournal.com/87252.html !
ooh, i love the white hair! i’ve always been too afraid to go white. i’m a big fan of big nesty hair and would definitely despair if i ended up with no hair at all!
White hair makes the best nests! Seriously! I used to tease my big white nest by using a comb & talcum powder. Once it is that damaged, it will do ANYTHING you want it to.
Atmosphere check.
Bruises check.
Justin Timberlake check.
White Hair check.
Chinese New Year check.
How come we ain’t in last summer?
Too right! You’re my favourite kid.
Yay! I decided to participate afterall, because I thought of a song, and fudged an outfit.
I couldn’t think of a favourite song, so I went with a song that’s been stuck in my head for weeks. Need a few things to complete the outfit, so description (and possibly a pic) later.
In valentine day the dress color is red. the dress is love casualty.here the site is for the health and fitness after the 40 years also
My favorite song of the moment is “femme fatale” by the velvet underground. I’m wearing a thrifted vintage dress, black patent belt and pumps and flowered tights. And a cigarette holder. I have pictures!
Zara, send them to me! gala@galadarling.com ! I will publish them if you want me to!
