(vintage blouse; Hudson jeans; vintage suspenders; Mesi Jilly ring; Y-3 kicks)
Androgyny. Amazingly sensual and overall mysterious. I felt very Amanda Lepore in my bubblegum fake lips. Yes, I've always dreamed of big lips. How do they look on me?
These kicks were a gift from my best friend. What a best friend! The story was simple. Her friend bought the sneakers without trying them on. Turns out, they were sized in mens, not womens. Like a perfect 2011 Cinderella moment, the kicks were passed around Manhattan until they met their ultimate match: the largest known woman's foot in the city. 
I've always been self-conscious/ self-loathing of my feet, coined "cruise ships" by my co-workers. I was just out to dinner with a stylist friend who explained that women with bigger feet actually walk better in heels since the pitch of a larger foot is more balanced on an angle. I am now complete. I was born for heels!

Would I trade my cruise ships for Amanda Lepore lips? I'll sleep on it.
