Girl is walking around on the streets wearing a crown, pink streaks in her hair, a long flowing skirt and tabi boots. And carrying a birdcage.
People like Anna Piaggi, Lynn Yaeger, Julia Frakes, Isabella Blow, Daphne Guinness, Vivienne Westwood, Iris Apfel, Grace Jones, David Bowie, Little Edie, Diana Vreeland, Bjork, Marchesa Luisa Casati, Catherine Baba, Anna Dello Russo... these people that dress to extremes simply because of a very deep, pure love for fashion... are inspiring to me.
And then people like this girl in FRUiTS, or mad old women, or funny toddlers, who dress for the same reasons and may not even know it's called fashion, inspire me as well...
And that, in the end, is all I want to do. Use my resources, and just have fun with dressing. Weirdly enough, it's when people anywhere — outside, in school, online — don't understand my outfits or style that motivates me to just be stranger.

As for London Fashion Week, Luella and Charles Anastase kinda let me down. Sadface times 345893498.
But! Since I am very very optimistic (um) I will say one I loved too [Louise Goldin]. Heartzzz. The futuristic thing is so overdone but I like it here because there's kind of a prehistoric feeling too — the few spots of colour (especially the green) feel like they'd be in a diagram in some science book, the scales on those leather leggings are just epic, and since Star Wars took place a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) the Darth Vader thing passes as prehistoric as well. Probably my favourite of LFW so far...

Most of the people at school have stopped making fun of my outfits because they feel threatened. Not by me of course — my strength is about that of the hair on the chipmunk inside my mouth — but by the fact that carpet netting, coathangers, and combat boots could all easily injure someone if the wearer were to decide injury was necessary. Which it won't be, unless you give me 10 bucks and a free slice of pizza. Say cheese!
