There are obvious circumstances when the point of fashion is to obliterate a universal staple, such as a horrifically basic Hanes t-shirt, and then revel justly in the fact that you just kicked its sweet little ass into something you can no longer live without.
It’s not always about the neophyte. It’s about warping and renovating what you already own into something you’ve preserved with individuality… of course while swimming in your obscene moment of stylistic grandeur. On the sly, I’ve always had the do-it-yourself-bug (kudos to all the DIY bloggers), albeit rarely find the time for such intoxicating craft safaris. So on a whim, I decided to slash/slice/dice/and put through the shredder a completely powerless t-shirt just because I wanted to. Seriously, that’s reason enough for me.

But this DIY business…it’s like some craft recreational drug, and once you get started, you can’t stop the creativity! So there I am, standing in the kitchen with an exacto knife in one hand and an uber-sharp pair of scissors in the other, and whilst this celebratory craft-climax, the lacerated result looks as though Freddy Krueger had a field day. And I'm in-love with my (now) tank all over again!

Thankyou for your well wishes. I honestly TOTALLY needed that! Compare to a fledgling wee Becket and thats not even scrape the base of how i felt. Add a ginormous carnivorous Shrek and a mean-spirited 'Gingy' THEN you'll have it. NIGHTMARE!!! and not cool :(
