My lady, like a teacup on the counter

Doily Tie Dye Embroidery Tunic - Ruche


✯ ✯ ✯




Iron & Wine - Grey Stables
(Lyrics)

Ah ouais je me disais bien, personne t'aime (Oh yeah, I told myself, "nobody loves you")

Cropped Stripe Sweater - Forever 21

Cute with an impact, and not too expensive. The color options give you two very different effects, and they're both strong I think! Plus a bit silly.

For the music, I think some French rock would be good, probably female vocals...

Mademoiselle K - Ça me vexe
(Paroles)
(Video musique)

Ah bon. This Gierak chick has a pretty fierce vibe to her, on top of a good rock voice. Could be someone to watch:








"Look ma, no shirt!"





-- Aha, interesting! From Wikipedia: "She (Katerine Gierak) was unclear at first about the combination of Rock music and French language, but seeing -M- performing during her adolescent years, she was convinced that there was nothing wrong with the combination." You may remember -M- (Mathieu Chedid) from an entry a couple weeks back (which also resulted in a picspam, haha). And so one legit artist inspires another!

Sunshine in the glory skies

Astronautical Tee - Modcloth


✯ ✯ ✯


Just found this looking up "shark" on last.fm and it's actually not bad!




Starsailor - Shark Food

Kittens were singin' in the trees, mermaids were ticklin' my knees...

B Movie Nightmare Tee - Threadless

The PERFECT match for the song I'm posting...so of course it's completely sold out. :| If you like it though, you can request a reprint!

Joe Iconis - Penny Dreadfuls
(Performed by Joe, Jason SweetTooth Wiliams, and Lance Rubin)

Oh hot damn, this is my jam. I typed out the lyrics cos I want to learn them:

before i met you
kittens were singin' in the trees
mermaids were ticklin' my knees
& life was a lovely lark

before i met you
angels would feed me cherry pies
until you opened up my eyes
to things most dark

now when i try to sleep at night
i think of
penny dreadfuls
and
many headfuls
of nasty evil things

and i clutch my pillow tight
but a power
beyond my bed pulls me
to places where i ruminate
on nasty evil things

and i try and try to clear my mind
but i find my mind's been intertwined
with gory thoughts and there's nothin
i can dooo
oooo

when i try to sleep at night
i think of
penny dreadfuls
and its all
because of you

before i met you
i never dropped or popped no pills
i wasn't all hopped up on no chills
and life was stars and dreams
sometimes id like to
go back to the way things used to be
but then you took a holda me
and i need to smell those scars and hear those screams

now when i try to sleep at night
i think of
penny dreadfuls
and
many heafuls
of nasty evil things

and i clutch my pillow tight
but a power
beyond my bed pulls me
to places where i ruminate
on nasty evil things

and i try and try to clear my mind
but i find my mind's been intertwined
with gory thoughts and aint nothin
i can dooo
oooo

when i try to sleep at night
i think of
penny dreadfuls
and its all
because of you

and oo oo oo
i didnt know what i was missin
and oo ooo oo
that wasn't nothing i was (missin? again?)


now when i try to sleep at night
i think of
penny dreadfuls
and
many headfulls
of nasty evil things

and i clutch my pillow tight
but a power
beyond my bed pulls me
to places where i ruminate
on nasty evil things

and i try and try to clear my mind
but i find my mind's been intertwined
with gory thoughts and there's nothin
i can dooo
oooo

when i try to sleep at night
i think of
penny dreadfuls
and its all
because of

when i try to sleep at night
i think of
penny dreadfuls
and its all
because of

when i try to sleep at night
i think of

because of

THIS CRUEL TRICK OF FATE

As I said, here is a final assortment of unique garments selected for WTF Sweater Week, with description quotes and commentary. Enjoy.





"Does it get anymore cozy~autumn than this?"




"HAND LOOMED IN IRELAND"




"Cutest EVER 80's Sweater"




"This vintage jacket was produced when Grease was a big hit."




Hey, the Sixties called; they're really sorry about puking on your hoodie last night...





Note the gold buttons on the cat's jacket, and the "PARIS" sticker on the suitcase. Fashion is all about the details...


'

"Deadstock never worn" --- Huh. I wonder why.....




Eighties? Ice Capades? Both? We may never know.





...!?


✯ ✯ ✯


If these sweaters could sing, they would sing a woeful song:



Beauty and the Beast OBCR - How Long Must This Go On?

How long must this go on?
This cruel trick of fate?
I simply made one careless wrong decision
And then the witch was gone
And left me in this state
An object of revulsion and derision
Hated...
Is there no one...
Who can show me...
How to win the world's forgiveness?


Time will tell, sweaters. Time will tell.

YA SEE, THEO...

Vintage Neon New Rave Zig Zag Aztec Cosby Sweater


✯ ✯ ✯




Daler Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun (over Cosby Show Opening)


I never realized how many different opening cuts the Cosby Show had until I youtubed it just now... Even though I've definitely seen all of them before. Cool story. Also, this is the end of WTF SWEATER WEEK. Tomorrow may be a reject dump.

They don't care what goes on around

Vintage 80s Dancing Pig Sweater - daisyfairbanks on Etsy

Okay this one is actually sort of cute in a deliberate-kitsch way... if you rocked it out properly!


✯ ✯ ✯





The Beatles - Piggies
(Lyrics by George Harrison)

O, George.

No answer on the telephone

Heart - Alone


This was stuck in my head this morning thanks to

snubullownsyou

...And now thanks to tonight's episode of Glee, it's back again. So I'm sharing.

'Til now... I always got by on my own
I NEVER REALLY CARED UNTIL I MET YOU!


✯ ✯ ✯


I know it's chilled you to the bone...
But you should NOT wear this sweater if you want to get someone Alone.





Vintage 80s Michael Jackson Thriller Sweater - gwenevere24 on Etsy


So... I guess the name choice is inviting us to compare this sweater to the top that Michael wears in the Thriller video?

Okay, let's:







...........No.

Because seeing how similar we are makes me grossed out... but, hopeful, too

Lance Rubin - "Lonely Woman"
(Written by Joe Iconis)


✯ ✯ ✯


The Lonely Woman would probably wear something like this to shuffle around her solitary apartment:






Fringe on the Front Sweater - WillowCreekSparrow on Etsy


...Yeeeeeahhhhh...

WE'RE CHEETAH GIRLS, CHEETAH SISTERS

METALLIC KNIT vintage 80s front and back CAT PRINT sweater - vintagemarmalade on etsy

A: You know why you should never play cards with big cats?
B: No, why?
A: Cos they're all CHEATAHS!

hohohohohoho

Just to be clear, this is "WTF Sweater Week" ...As in a week of "WTF?"-inducing sweaters. (Though this one is also kind of fierce by merit of having a GIANT CHEETAH on it.) There will be lots of normal sweaters in the weeks to come, though, never fear. Maybe they will even get a week of their own.


✯ ✯ ✯




The Cheetah Girls - Cheetah Sisters
(Lyrics)

Oh, yes.

Did they make your tangled feathers glow/What you wait for never shows

Pigeon Community Tee - Heritage 1981/Forever 21


✯ ✯ ✯


Funnily enough, I know two different artists with a "Pigeon Song."




Patrick Wolf - Pigeon Song
(Lyrics)




Alela Diane - Pigeon Song
(Lyrics)


Hope you enjoy both!

Twisted like a...

T-Shirt/ Women's/ Housing Crisis on Purple - barehandedpress on Etsy

Cute. Comfy. Catastrophic.

"Twisted" from Twister: The Musical
(From "Hey, You Know What Movie Would Make a Good Musical?" at The Zipper Factory)
(Performed and introduced by the exceedingly charming Jason Michael Snow)

I have taken the liberty of transcribing the lyrics.

✯ ✯ ✯

Look at that sky...
She's really talkin' today
Darkly mumblin'
Across the way
Like a... bitter uncle...
Angry at me...

...Recalling memories inappropriately...

LEAVE me alone
I thought I'd already ran from home...

(Cue jaunty piano.)

Remember the breeze blowing through our hair?
That was a time when we both... didn't care (pffffhahaha)
I remember your smile, and that look in your eye
Sent me right to the eye of the storm

Chasin' after something we could never take hold
I was sick of flyin, sick of tryin to be bold
Lost in your hair, and DAMN those eyes
Still haunting me but no longer warm --

Now I'm TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide...
Please don't let my storms collide!
I'm twisted
up
in
side.

OKAY OKAY so wait, universe, get off my back!
I've found a new career and weathercasting's my knack
But something's telling me to stick around...
I guess that I still care

And I know I'm happy with... oh, what's-her-name
No, no no, I really know her name...
...
...
...
...
--OH!
MELISSA!
THERE.

NOW I'M TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide!
PLEASE don't let my storms COLLIDE
I'm twisted up inside...

(Cue jaunty piano change to BRIDGE ARRANGEMENT VAGUELY REMINISCENT OF WICKED)

I thought the yellow brick road was far behind me...
The technicolor world of Oz burned so bright...
Emerald City's towers shone so coldly...
And suddenly I'm lost in the grayest night...!

But Dorothy wants to click her heels and fly...
Should I return to the warm expanse of Kansas sky?

Now I'm TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide!
Please don't let my storms collide!
I'm twisted up iiinnnnNNNOW I'M TWISTED,
can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide...
PLEASE don't let my storms collide!

I'm twisted up with her...
Twisted up with her....
Twisted like a--

...

...

TWISTEEEEEEEEEEEER!
