…Tim Gunn.
Yes, he is my spiritual boyfriend, and that teeny tiny voice in my head that speaks up when I’m staring at a mound of nacho chips from somebody’s tray and thinking if I should get double the servings just to be sure, extra cheese too.
Simply put, if my brain had twitter, it would be Tim Gunn logging in.

“Now now dear, remember that divine cream jacket you saw awhile back? Don’t buy it anymore because everyone knows that muffins are only yummy when they’re meant to be eaten, not when you’re described literally shaped like one. Calories always work AGAINST you dear, that being said, how will I tell you to make it work?”
So when I was thinking of captions for a party at Velocity Bar this is what came out:
Everybody looks instantly attractive with a glass of wine in hand
I’m not sure if Tim Gunn is the one who said that quote, but it’s his voice I heard when I was typing this!
I haven’t really posted anything about fashion lately. First because uploading is a b!tch. Second, I got a Sun Broadband and I bet it would be more useful as a coffee stirrer than its intended purpose.
Anyhoo, I’ve been going for the androgynous look lately. And no I can’t really post that much photos because like I said Sun Broadband can pass for a glorified coffee stirrer. But in retrospect, it IS unlimited wifi at P799, so I guess you get what you pay for.
I’ve been known to prowl the men’s department store. Not only is it fabulously cheaper, but the salesmen take notice when you ask for assistance in the men’s section. Hahaha. I once tried to ransack my boyfriend’s closet but he’s 6ft tall and I’m 5′4 and the hemming will just kill me. Besides, I can’t remember the last time I picked up a needle and thread. If domesticity had a resume, mine would only say “specializes in push-button cookery”
I bought the suspenders I’m wearing in the picture at SM Department Store. Next hunt will consist of a white racerback to pair it with. Mind you it’s not easy to find a racerback with the fit that I like. But it would be great to pair those suspenders with jeans.
I keep hearing (another) voice inside my head that asks why the hell would I need a pair of suspenders for when I have the hips to hold up my pants anyway, but then a spoken out-loud “EFF’ OFF!!!” usually silences it… along with the people around me. The suspenders by the way, is P349.75 in SM. I also bought a belt there in tan which I pair with khakis. I’ll post pics next time.
You can’t see the pants I’m wearing there, but I bought it at Onesimus (another men’s store which specializes in barong tagalog and suits) for P1,200. For the unfamiliar, a barong tagalog is a formal garment worn by men in the Philippines. Anyway, there are a lot of nice and even funky slacks that can be found in the men’s department. Men’s slacks in SM can go for as low as P350. I wanted to buy a pair of women’s Alexane slacks in SM for work, and it was P750! It was another reason to hate men and another way to corner the boyfriend into taking me out to dinner “What the hell are you saying?! Your clothes are cheaper than mine (at least in SM), you make more than I do, so why can’t we go out for dinner?!”
Sounds like a pretty good argument eh? eh?
Plus, in the men’s department, you’ll always have to ask for the smallest size they have in stock. Now, THAT’s a perk.
Okay, that’s it. I have to sign off before my coffee stirrer decides to slow down again. Until then, remember, you’d think with so many articles tackling sex in Cosmo, no woman would have to fake the Big O ever!
