To the person who asked about self defense weapons: an Irish walking stick. It’s a walking stick with a whacking great ball at the end. One swing can crack a skill easily. Alternatives: hammers, baseball bat, glass bottles …
I handsome up real nice… Now i just need $115 to buy these Sexy Flexy Dude clothes from H&M… (Taken with Instagram)
hey hottiezzzz
today i went to tha mawl and tried on dude clothes and wished i weren’t so poor
and was also recognized by a fyhf follower who was working at ragstock who was super sweet, which honestly made my day (i was there with my best friend and the rest of the day she kept being like, “YR INTERNET FAMOUS, LJ!”).
as always, lots o hard femme love, even if i’m just left wishing i had more time for the blog these days.

ya’ll should know that Urban Decay’s “vintage” eyeshadow, lipstick, lip gloss, and mascara lines are all on sale for $3-6 (which is wayyy cheap compared to their standard prices)… i just ordered myself a little care package, i’m pretty pumped. ”lounge” is my all time favorite eyeshadow color from them (it’s part of the sale), if yr looking for a recommendation. and if you get buckwild, shipping is free after $50.

Ummmm, a cropped tshirt that says NO WAY…. Are you fucking kidding me? Yesss way, best $7 I’ve spent in awhile. (Taken with Instagram)
ok so maybe the smile and thumbs up mixes up the message a bit but gottttdamnit i just love this shirt so much, i said “SHUT THE FUCK UP” pretty audibly in the store when i found it.
two different zebra prints, duh.
i might have just made myself a violently blue and hot pink zebra striped apron (lined with carhartt pants material) for when i’m working in the ceramics studio.
dear fyhf,
i’ve been neglecting you for lower-case art school and while we may miss each other terribly, rest assured that i keep it trashy even in ceramics class.
much love,
lj
living in punktown makes me forget that in the ~real world~ i still look like a circus freak. at least looking like a mean bitch deflects the ruder questions and comments.
self defense advice from followers

Saturdaykid: You don’t even need a spike in the ring. Anything that has a gem set in it hurts like a bitch and probably will leave a mark when you get hit by it (personal experience, my sister doesn’t play fair at ERS).

These are a useful little self defense device. And if you never have to use it, then it passes just fine as a cute key chain. www(.)wickedclothes(.)com/product/kitty-keychain-self-defense-device
(i have one of these - it’s a nice alternative to walking around with my keys between my fingers. keep in mind that these are considered a legit weapon though, so flying with one on you is out, and other places that have actual security checkpoints might hassle you about it. -lj)

For that person asking about self defense stuff, I put my keys between my fingers like wolverine in case I need to punch someone haha. It’s inconspicuous, but effective.
another note for the lady asking for tips on protecting herself: I usually carry around a wrench or some other heavy tool when I go out alone. That way if I get caught with it, I can’t get in trouble for carrying a weapon, but I can still defend myself. I don’t use pepper spray because I’d probably panic and spray myself, but that’s also a good option!
I strongly second the self defense class. Also some things that might be useful in self defense yet wont automatically be considered weapons would be a roll of quarters (also useful for laundry and bus fare), pens and pencils, a metal waterbottle carried on a caribiner, travel hairspray instead of mace, and umbrellas.
I carry at LEAST one knife on my person at all times, and another in my purse. To hell with the laws - if someone attacks me I’m going to pull out all the stops to defend myself. Whoever attacks me lost any right to not be injured when they decided to perpetuate violence. For anyone who feels defenseless, study up on Krav Maga or kickboxing.
(it’s also a good idea to get someone to teach you how to properly wield a knife if yr going this route. -lj)

To the person asking about self-defense tools: Look into buying a Safety Kat! It looks like a keychain and I believe is totally legal everywhere, but it acts as a quasi-brass-knuckle defense tool. It can do some major damage and looks threatening when you put it on.
(the one i have is reallllly hard plastic, but i’ve also seen them as metal dipped in rubber… i’ve also seen some that look like bulldog faces rather than cats - i think i may need to add to my collection. -lj)
why yes my bright pink bandana and tuff-shit cleaning gloves do match, i thank you for noticing
