christmas tree syndrome

Posted in style by portia on March 14th, 2008

I have a penchant for what I call The Christmas Tree Syndrome, wherein I mix and match at random. Often, I like the effect. This one was taken about a year ago; and I think that an avalanche of accessories always spice up a simple racerback or a wifebeater.

The handcuff chain, which I designed myself and got The Best Friend to make, consists of an aluminum chain, a gambling die with hearts, red-and-black lace, and a pair of handcuffs that can be opened and closed. I call it Sex, Lace & Gambling.


Place your bets. ;)

I had bangs and stick-straight hair for a week last year, both of which were cut by myself. And then I decided I didn’t want to maintain it any longer. The spygurl look, which was in line with my previous job sleuthing around. Ho ho ho.
