When real things happen to imaginary people

Topshop is selling a headband with faux antlers. (clicky-link!)

For $160.

Okay, ignoring the fact that You can find far better versions on Etsy for a helluva lot less (clicky-link!), I'm just ...

Antlers. Wearing antlers on your head will forever in my mind be linked with someone from my past who is BARKING MAD. There are friends who have known me forever who are reading this post, making a o_0 face, and nodding emphatically.

I am all for weird accessories and putting strange things on your head. But antlers? Faux antlers made of black leather? Ooooo-kaaaaay. And from Topshop, of all places. I am boggling.

Madonna is releasing a fashion collection with Macy's. Based on Material Girl. (clicky-link!)

On the one hand, say what now? Really? Does the world NEED another go-round of lace bike shorts under mini skirts?

On the other hand, the movie was silly fun, and oooh, remember THE BOOTS? (clicky-link! I coveted those boots like mad, even though I wouldn't have been able to walk more than three feet in them before falling over.

But I really am torn as to whether this is a sign of the apocalypse or not. What's next, a fashion line based on Pretty In Pink? That still would be better than the Grunge revival, though. That much I AM certain of.

Over on Facebook, I just found Gothic Charm School fanfic.

It's actually quite cute. (And G-rated, thank goodness.)

Does this mean I've hit the Big Time? I am so confused.

In other news, I feel awful. Aches, chills, fever. Dear staxxy, the KIB balm is VERY VERY GOOD for aches from the flu, thank you.

Everyone keep your fingers crossed that the Stroppy One doesn't come down with this. And I am planning on being healthy by next Friday, because we have tickets for Wicked, and I AM NOT missing that.
