The Expensive Nylon Shopping Bag

Presented below is a montage to the $2 nylon shopping bag extravaganza. But instead of cladding the metal racks of a China Town souvenir shop they are cladding the likes of Céline models, Ryan Taylor and the fashion savvy-alike. 

Lets cast our minds back to the year we saw our grandma sporting one of these on her way to the grocer, then, in the year of '07, Marc adds an LV stamp to the side of one of these beauts with an expensive price tag and all the cool kids had one. 

And now eight years later Céline, I guess, have waited for the muddy waters to ease and have jumped on the inexpensive albeit cool mood of clothing design. 

This, I think, calls for an easy DIY. What with the success of my Jil Sander paper bag-bag and all.

Lesson Learned

Welcome back to all who were faced with the infamous 404 Google error for the past five days when trying to reach andtheboy.net. I apologise for lack of fashion expertise and judgment you may have received throughout that time and it was all due to me missing the payment of said domain.

I was in melt down as I had to go through an external domain-thingy to get it back. It was absolutely cray.

So, naturally, the below image illustrates the relief of finally fixing the ish' as I precariously sip my double-shot caramel latte.

Lesson learned! More than I can say for a lot of those ratchet Met Gala '13 gowns...

On Diane Keaton

Diane Keaton, undisputedly the butt of all jokes in my household. And for good reason.

Every chance we get my boo and I try to watch a classic '90s Dianne Keaton slap-stick family-feel-good comedy which always involves Miss Keaton either attending a wedding, getting cheated on by her wealthy husband or going on a holiday to the Hamptons or a chateau in the wilderness somewhere with Goldie Horne always in toe, for no good moral reason. And all the while, regardless of the character she plays, she wears those ridiculous transition lenses and that ridiculous wig which, I can only imagine when she was deciding on her 'look' she went to Vidial Sassoon and showed them a picture of a mop and said, 'I want this!' I don't see bitches lining up wanting the Diane Keaton like they did the Jennifer Anniston...

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to loath Diane. She is so funny with her cackling laugh and bobble-head aesthetic but this woman is cray. 

I'm only a fraction through her IMDb filmography list, not to mention her TV list!

Legs To Match

After much deliberation and fucking about... I present to you the most awesomeness thing that has happened to me in a long while, besides mistaking a homeless person's attire for a RTW Raf Simons.

I have been hard at work with Uni and... work and have been so boring. But I have made my debut back on the wold stage with my sexc legs and socks to match. I am in love with these Blaq numbers. I went in search of a cheap eBay purchase with no success and stumbled across the below on an outing to Myer department and came home with a bunch of other colours - you can view the pink on my instagram

Self Loathing

Obligatory selfies to the max. Featured in a backyard-cum-courtyard somewhere in Australia.
