this is the best ebay auction i've ever seen

Vintage early 80s Tankini - the first one ever made!

I saw this 3 piece Tankini in Bloomingdales Juniors dept in 1984 so I bought it for my trip to Fiji - way before "Survivor"! I think I paid $24.00 for it. It was rather 'Punk" for the time, and I was in my Punk phase with two-toned hair that I usually spiked, but not sightseeing Fiji. This wonderful Tankini attracted the attention of three awesome dudes, one from Canada, One from New Zealand and the short one my favorite - from France -oh-la-la. Check out those short shorts! Back then there were no real bridges over rivers, the last photo shows the car we rented going over a so called "bridge" of planks. Real Survivor living before it became popular!

The Tankini has lasted in very nice condition - at least the 2 top pieces. The bottom is stretched out and cannot be worn. It is a cotton knit - hot pink stripes with heather grey. Size 5/6 but will also fit a small built medium - has some stretch. This is a very Unique bathing suit from the Punk Rock 80s.

Smells clean $5.00 Shipping requested ..

so sheela just pointed out to me that "john:316" is printed on the bottom of the yellow forever 21 bags. upon further investigation, i found that this is in fact, completely true.














apparently this bible verse is:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

i have no idea what that means because i'm pretty sure nothing in the bible means anything but WHAT THE FUCK!! WHY? i think it might mean that if i don't believe in jesus, i'm going to hell (big surprise) or something, right? like, correct me if i'm wrong but WHAT??!

i did some google searching and apparently in-n-out burger has been using this subtle form of evangelizing for years. this is so completely creepy and disgusting to me.

ok paranoia... i worry about the fact that there's no water in the pool, but you don't think any of them are actually going to jump, right? i mean it's kind of cruel if you think about it, it's obviously hot out and they are so close to the pool, they're even wearing BATHING SUITS but they can't go in? they all look amazing though, i want the stripey swimsuit on the far right.




oh HELLO random 1960's babes without a care in the world. can i trade lives with you?



ok if proof ever existed that i need to start a fashion line, this is it. i would call these overalls 'spirit fingers'.




imagine if uncle karl and andre leon talley were the president and vice president, respectively?
it's too brilliant an idea to even toy with.





this is in honor of the fact that i got picked up by sailors this past weekend. i totally wanted to do the jitterbug with them.



this sassy mama was the star of some 1970's tv show. LOVE the glasses, hair, and thermal shirt.



these guys are totally my idols. imagine if our crew rolled with a dog like this? FIERCE.

business ideas

1. cigarette rehab: rich people pay mad money to come stay at some nice resort and take a week out of their lives to just fucking quit the stogers already. i think the break from everyday life is key, you know? its all you have to focus on while getting tan and playing tennis. or staying in and playing wii tennis - which i just did and i am SWEEAATIING holy shit. anyway, you can be as bitchy as you want cause everyone will be bitchy. NIGHTLY BITCH FESTS AROUND THE FIRE!! and you'd be with mad people supporting you, helping you.. just chillin in the same boat. obvs we'd give out nicorette gum/patches like it's air. this was actually jay's idea originally but i mean, fuck that, this isn't his blog.

2. paparazzi for tourists: people walk in and pay like some ridiculous amount of money to feel like a celebrity via paparazzi styled photo shoots. there's this huge wall with automatic cameras aiming at a red carpet for them to stand on. or we could change the background to be of them sitting at the ivy or walking down the street if they want the shots to look like they are candid. we could green screen this shit and go buckwild!! each camera (maybe there's like 15 of them?) would take about 20+ pictures each in about 2 minutes so they'll be able to see the crazy wall of flashes the celebs must see.. there could be cardboard cut outs of celebs to pose with or people could just pose with their friends. maybe there's fancy dresses people can put on too! then they pick their fav pics and get their own "in touch" cover made with whatever headlines they want. COME ON!! we could even airbrush them! i think this could be huge in new york/la in the touristy areas. fuck it, it could be huge in oklahoma. i'm kind of dead serious about this one.

more to come...

Repenting for Our Sins

I know ravage wildfires are all part of living here, but I still get freaked out/fascinated by them. Since 1pm yesterday (which was 20 hours ago), there has been a massive fire burning in Griffith Park, which is pretty much the Hollywood Hills. If you saw Rebel Without a Cause, the Observatory is right there, along with the LA Zoo, awesome hiking trails, golf courses, and a lot of really cool outdoorsy stuff. Basically, it's one of the best things about LA. Since yesterday afternoon, I've been hearing helicopters overhead and firetrucks racing down the street. I don't live that close to the park, like 5 miles away, but it's scary, people were being evacuated from their houses, and you can see smoke in the sky and smell the fire everywhere you go.

So yeah, it's just pretty nuts to be so close to something like this, and of course everyone who lives here makes the joke "ohh, Hollywood's gonna burn for all of it's sins" (or collapse when the Big Earthquake finally comes), but it's kinda, true, the whole thing is pretty biblical.

xo, moog

disclaimer: embarrassing content. be warned

so, yesterday after reading this:
http://perezhilton.com/topics/quote_of_the_day/quote_of_the_day_20070430.php,
i decided that i'm going to make a conscious effort to chill with the celeb blogs. seriously, they take over my life. today, i've only looked at perez once and haven't looked at the superficial or fuggingitup at all. i'm kinda freaking out. it's like going through withdrawal

anyway, after i read that, i fucking left a comment!! (i know)
here it is:

"that was so amazingly intelligent and articulate. it's not surprising that perez has no response. i feel very conflicted reading this site and buying tabloid magazines when for the most part, i agree with everything that alexa had to say in terms of our culture's obsession with the media. in fact, i think her post has inspired me to chill out with the blogs and tabs and actually be productive! maybe if perez was as articulate as alexa, he could do something positive. it's great to support gay rights, be anti-racist, etc. but continuing to call women "ugly whores" perpetuates the problem and continues the fucked up cycle."

hahhahahha what the fuck is wrong with me?! you like how i'm all like, "WELL MAYBE IF PEREZ..." AHHHHHAHHAHA

but seriously, i'm not the only one...

"I'm so inspired by what Alexa wrote, that I've decided to boycott this site. I have always come here for the latest gossip, but this site's vibe has changed for the worst, and become too cruel. There are plenty other internet sites out there witht he latest gossip who go about it in better ways. I'm going to pass this along to all my gossip loving friends, as well. Perez, you need to clean up your act. Take a look at your own appearance. Gross!"

this one's my fave:

"Perez,

I do appreciate you for all you do for the sake of entertainment. You have some amazing potential and have only tapped into a portion of it. I can also tell by your pictures that you're a magnetic person with some GREAT energy! You truly emanate joy!

But after reading Alexis Joel's blog, which I think is gracious of you to post on your website, this website of yours has seen its last hit from me. I discovered you back in early '05 and you gave me something to look forward to each and every morning. You were a mini-escape for me at a time when life wasn't feeling "all that." But what your website represents is NOT what is all good in this world . . . or even all neutral. It represents a superficiality and a negativity that is self-made. Our words, our actions, our thoughts are bringing down people for our own greater good, but what good is it? A reader above made the point that what we are creating is some seriously bad karma for ourselves. Well, I don't know about you, but for me, I'm taking a stand now to stop giving in to this world. I'm choosing now to let you go and let me take myself to the places in this world that create positive, create good, that feel better than this place.

I wish you the very best in your future. I hope that only good surrounds you. Thank you for being such a strong fixture in my daily life.

Farewell.

~ Jennifer R."

seriously though, like why not?
