GOOD MORNING MIDNIGHT

This blog is just becoming, like, “photobooth tribulations of Meg’s ever-evolving mermaid hair” but I AM SO EXCITED WITH IT THIS WEEK YOU GUYS

EDIT for people already asking: Top part is bleached then toned twice, first with Wella Silver Lady and then with a mix of Manic Panic Virgin Snow and a keratin pack, bottom part is Special FX Joyride diluted at half-strength, left on the ends for 45 minutes and the middle part for about 15. 

And look! Beach day trip out to the Rockaways/Fort Tilden.

I’ve also been a bad tumblr-r because some MORE EXCITING AND BIGGER THINGS ARE COMING, YOU WILL SEE SOON, HURRAY! 

So I got Instagram at long last and I’m sorry, y’all, you’re getting spammed. Follow me there (handle’s same as my Twitter one, MC1RK) or just, you know, live with the massive cross-platform posting. Look, photos from this weekend!

So I got this sports bra at Target and basically am never going to wear another shirt again all summer, is that cool with you guys?  Longer skirt thrifted, shorter one from H+M last year. (I totally should have worn something other than those weird flat maryjanes but whatever, we were walking a while and I needed to be comfortable.) 

Right, so how many times have I talked about how much I love those awful Gaultier maille / mesh “tattoo shirts” from the mid-90s? We’re not even going to link to them here since I’m sure you’re all sick of all my posts about them by now. I nailed this baby for basically pocket change on eBay a few weeks ago and have been squealing over it nonstop since. (And thankfully it doesn’t have any, like, icky “tribal” graphics like some of those shirts did, just some weird girl and some bugs and a lot of spirally designs.)  I totally should have worn this with the snakeskin skirt in the previous post, but there’s always next time.

Apparently this month is themed “Actually I Am Not That Cool And Am Kind Of A Slob, Sorry You Guys, Can We Still Be Friends?”  Or maybe just the last post of my sloppy backpack contents and this one, of the weird photobooth pictures from the past two weeks of the bizarre things I actually wear at home.

I’m, like, freelancing and stuff now I guess (do you need a thing done? I can probably do this thing for you, especially if it is a writing or an internet thing.) What this actually means is “most days I sit at home in my bed and drink an entire French press of coffee and send a bunch of emails and do some stuff on the internet” and “go on lengthy Twitter rampages in which I probably sound vaguely unhinged but whatever it’s FUNNY right,” which is also not especially conducive to “dressing like a normal human being or putting on makeup really or anything.”  It’s also “getting hot,” which is also “not conducive to dressing normally.”    WHATEVER.
