Packing up again.

I did hop back into the vintage swing of things. THis was my outfit today. some 40s mens trousers(not the ones I wanted to wear today but these will suffice I guess) and a non-vintage but still old sweater. most likely from the 70s/80s. I just threw on some plimisols for basic footwear. I need to Shave, pretty bad. haha But I figure I would show you guys(via crappy web cam photos since my camera already made the move Im working on) what I looked like while I've been at school. I was really into goth again hahaha. Below is my outfit I wore while I was packing up my stuff and dancing around with my roommate. A pentagram shirt cut into a tank top(gift from the roomie) and my red shorts from H&M that I cuff shorter. oh yeah, and 6 inch black patent leather platform heels. No big deal.

So I am working on Move number 4 since August.

One from old to new house in Palmer,

One to Revere,

One to Beverly,

Now this one back to Palmer.

I am in the process of packing up all of my dishes. Again. I hate that part of the move. I have so much stuff. I am exhausted just thinking about packing and unpacking all of this stuff. and then setting up a whole new room. But this one is a bit bigger which is nice. I need to make some drapes for it and I need a new bed spread. I want a chenille one, I just don't know what color. my drapes are going to be made out of that green atomic print fabric I posted about a few months ago.

Shane in Wonderland

I'm spending my day home alone listening to some good old country and hunting for Pineapple ring graphics for Beck. I took some shots of my room for you all to enjoy(it'll give you a good laugh) 75% of my life is still in Boxes. I have no furniture really, just what was in the room. All of my furniture from the house couldn't make it here on moving day. (But my mother has hired her third child[really just one of my sister's ex boyfriends who we are all good friends with] to bring my furniture and move it in for me, which makes me very happy)

It's hot here. My room is cluttered for now. We have a roommate in the basement too and she and I need to make room for my stuff so it's in my room until that happens.

Theres some of the things the room came with. This was the guest room, which was cowboy themed. Since Beck put time and effort and dollar into that theme I figured I'd keep with it.

My little comfort zone in my room. Record player, place to sit, golden pony. I'm set.

MOVING SATURDAY!

I'm starting to stress about the move. I have so much shit and only two cars helping me move. And I can't just make two trips because the drive is over and hour and a half!

I don't know how to pack some things! I have I those fiberglass shades in the background that are making the trip on my lap because I don't want them out of my sight and breaking. I would cry because the three all have the original lamp bases to match.

But really my biggest fear is not being able to get my dresser and desk there. They are big. And I need them. I can't just do without them for a few months.

I have to pack all of on my pinup stuff too! And Since I want to do a lot of shooting in the next month I want to have it all! The weekend of the Milltown Show I can grab some stuff but I really would like to have most of it!

17 days in counting

(this is not my set or my photo, This has a couple pieces Im missing but I wanted to give you an idea of my set)

I move into Suburban Wonderland in 17 days. I'm getting pretty excited. but also worried. I used to be worried about living in the house and being uncomfortable alone. But After this weekend when I had the house to myself for a few hours (and not feeling weird) I'm not worried about that stuff anymore. But I still have a few worries.

Would you like to know them? Maybe help?

One of my biggest worries is hardly even connected to my new living situation. It's about the move. ABout 75% of my stuff is vintage. And a good amount is ceramic and glassware. I am worried about things breaking over the two hour drive to the new house. I already moved all of my Blue Heaven there. It took three medium-ish boxes. I haven't even looked at them since I brought them there( I hope nothing broke but I'm too afraid to check anyways) there are only 9 things In those boxes that I couldn't cope with breaking. Thats my Blue Heaven Coffee Pot(which I scored for $6 at Savers) and my set of 8 Blue Heaven old fashion glasses. The rest I could find again if I lost a pice or two.

I'm also really worried about moving in with my best friend. I won't know the area for the first month or two and I'm worried about smothering Beck and having her hate me because I'm always around.

I'm also worried about maintaining KitschCake. I get a lot of my props from Weekly thrifting trips. I have a lot of holes in my wardrobe and props and I'm worried about being in the city where good finds are sparse(fucking hipster scum stealing the things that are Important to me. which I will do a post about next).

But all around I'm excited to Move into Suburban Wonderland and go to Montserrat

My Bedside table

Is finally back, next to my bed! It's been hiding in the basement since January when I did the Valentines Day shoot! But the only reason I can have it in there is because I had to take everything else out pretty much because we are selling the house. I'm starting to pack things up, it sucks I hate it. I'm giving some of my vintage glassware away to friend who just got an appartment and has, like nothing. I want to sell my Crosey and buy a better one. But much to my dismay I have found out they discontinued the Stack-O-Matics. Which is what I wanted.

I love my Moonbeam Alarm clock! It is seriously THE best alarm clock I have ever used. And I will wake up from the light some mornings which is nice.

These are my vintage spex(sans lenses for the time being) And a vintage knitting magazine from my good friend and vintage love of my like Desiree, a.k.a. the art*deco*dame.

I'm sorting through all of my vintage in the near future so hopefuly more pictures soon!
