The Spring Model Citizen goodness has arrived! I had hoped it would all be done by the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, so it's a touch late, but better late than never! All items are available in in Small, Medium & Large at www.modelcitizenclothing.com
There's a lot of lace, a lot of tigers & stripes & hot pink & teal. And with this new collection we welcome the big cat of the sea - The Tiger Shark! So lets get to it shall we?
Wild Child! Made of Tiger Stripes & Lace. Screen printed on a black jersey cotton dress.
I love you but I've chosen... Shark Week Lacey killers - circling your heart! Do you see the Tiger Shark? She's the one on the bottom right... creepin up on ya!
AND We've brought back an oldie - but a goodie: Beauty & The Beat! (modeled by my lovely friend Flip S.)
So, what do ya think? I had to get it all posted before SXSW started. I think I'll be wearing my Wild Child dress quite a bit in the coming week! SXSW brings out the devil in me.
Well, here's a first.. I'm actually blogging in a bar. Like a champ I spent my entire Saturday working at home & then I came down with a near fatal case of CABIN FEVER! So, I slipped on a skirt, threw my computer in a bag & fled to the closest bar I could find that has wifi. I couldn't be in a better place to celebrate the awesomeness that is THE YEAR OF THE TIGER! Don't even get me started on the fact that Chinese New Year falls on Valentines Day this year! Seriously don't - I'll start speaking in tongues or something and that's never pretty. Sure, I know Chinese New Year isn't until tomorrow, but tomorrow is a mere 15 minutes away at this point. In the eyes of the Chinese Zodiac I am not a Tiger - I am a Cock, but when I go into my cave to meet my power animal I am greeted by a friendly purring Tiger. SO - THIS IS MY YEAR! Because I say so - astrology be damned.
I'm feeling oh so brave & while some are saying that year of the tiger + valentines doesn't necessarily call for a love fest but I feel ready to prove them WRONG! I'm feeling lovey. I'm feeling dovey & generally optimistic on all fronts. I know what you are thinking - 'Bonnie's at the bar having drinks, of course she feels like everything is on the up & up' but you are wrong. I just got here and have only had a sip of my cocktail (which is delicious by the way Tequila + grapefruit soda & a touch of salt, Mmmm).
My world is filled with Tigers & we're all doing a very attractive little happy dance (see above). In the next few weeks you can expect to see a few new Tigerlicious T-shirts in the shop - one even includes a Tiger Shark! We here at Model Citizen do not discriminate against any kind of tiger. Also - since it is the year of the tiger Natalie Slater & I will be holding the first ever America's Next Top Tiger Contest! Where YOU my dear readers can write in and tell us all about your lovely selves for a chance to become the next Tiger Lady on a Model Citizen T! When? I'm not quite sure, I will keep you posted.
Anywho - Lets get back to lovey & dovey - Happy VD Everybody! May your day be filled with hugs & wine & duets in the shower & butterfly kisses & spankings (if that's the kind of thing you might be in to). As for me, I'm going to spend the day with my manpanion. He's got a surprise for me! Exciting! So I leave you with this - one of my favorite love songs of all time! It has the greatest line ever: Hot n heavy, pumpkin pie, chocolate candy, Jesus Christ, ain't nothin' please me more than you....
Trying to figure it all out in Austin, TX. Food, yoga & campy kitschy shit lines my insides. Patience is a goal of mine. I make lists, keep a budget and once wished I could take over the world.... Now I just want to build my own. When it's done you should come visit me.
