rubber duck: perfectly perforated (tennies)

right now, most any “fashionista” who’s worth her stylish salt is likely rocking a pair of (most likely black) strappy sky high platform stilettos (say that 12 times fast!).

but, being i am not really amongst those ranks these days, i’m content to don something lower and decidedly more comfortable. like these perforated monochromatic tennies by rubber duck. who seem to make some damn cute tennis shoes in general, wouldn’t you know it?

just one more crazy, colorful example of why i like to go and will persistently against the grain. :) that, and i don’t want to break my neck or back for the sake of “style” (especially one i kind of loathe) but that’s probably a whole other post…

…but a stitch ain’t one. FOR REALS.

i’m not much for tees, but this one by jumpseatmonalisa (printed on secondhand shirts) is so hilariously kick ass…it hurts. anything that combines/subverts craftiness and hip hop at the same time puts it in the running for “best tee shirt ever created” (in my hip hop/needlework loving mind, anyway)…
