Nicki Minaj x Beetlejuice

2012-02-23T17:55:00.001-08:00

Nicki Minaj from the March issue of US Vogue (I like to note the US part since we rarely have anything remotely cute). Wish one day my skin would be a blue toned zombie skin color! Come on, don't tell me you haven't thought about it. And if your like us have tried it! It's extremely hard unless you have some theater makeup or special effects makeup skills.

Peanut & Pumpkin Cookies

2012-02-17T23:21:00.000-08:00

*These cookies are stupid good! Just put in as much Pumpkin Pie Spice as you think you would like. But keep in mind it cant over power the peanut butter taste, so don't throw in too much just keep the yummy balance of both flavors. And I'd suggest using wax paper to put down on the pan. I never like to be surprised with slightly burnt cookie bottoms.

Adorable Vintage Valentines

2012-02-15T23:04:00.000-08:00

Here's some cute vintage valentines, thought I should find some cute vintage ones after seeing all the weird ones. Of course my favorite is the TEA VALENTINE! I love tea! And the card is completely adorable just like all the others here. Ok and they made a valentine card that mixes a witch and vintage cuteness, what else could you possible want!! TOO CUTE!!

Weird Vintage Valentines

2012-02-15T22:00:00.000-08:00

Came upon these very peculiar vintage valentines. As you can see they are pretty odd and one is just simply fucked up. The eggs one is adorable but like after you read it your like wait what? Then the clown one while that's just odd like I guess if the person getting the card was nuts for clowns it would make sense to have a clown valentines card. Yet the clown loving population is pretty low and why would they want one with its tongue out? Is that meant to be like sexy? Cause I'm just getting a creepy twisted sexy from that. If your into that type of sexy then cool it's for you haha. But then you got this Hammer one, that I would love to speak to the person who made this. Because How else could you take this cards meaning besides as a fucked up apparently wife beater card. I just started laughing when I read this one like seriously what the fuck? You just stare at it forever saying "what the fuck" and thinking of any other possible meanings. Such as maybe the person always forgets Valentines Day so it's like gosh do I have to hammer the reminder in your head, or again some weird twisted sex shit like your the nail and they have to hammer you in? If anyone has any other meanings for the fucked up card let us know cause we are simply at a loss here.

I've always thought the original reminded me of some creepy ass old rich men sex club shit but this one omg. Like this is literally the definition of SEXY. It's just so seductively sexy!

Vintage Fashion Expo 2012 (3)

2012-02-09T20:51:00.000-08:00

Now to cover the best part of the Vintage Fashion Expo.. the purchases made! Which I went in literally not thinking I'd get anything, I did have in mind to buy a vintage pill box hat yet got to find out they all started at 65$ and most not in good condition at all. Like not just its vintage condition I'm talking like should be at a Garage Sale condition. Once me and my sister got out of there quickly got home and ran to the tea pot! I was sick yet but by the end of the event sounded like a sad frog every time I talked! Took in the sexy babies I purchased after dinner with the family. Where I brought up how I'm still in need of a Lion jewelry piece because we didn't find any there (expect of course that Leo Purse!). Then we started talking about this Finnish lion ring my sister wanted off the internet. Brought out the Finnish coins and I told her use the freaking Finnish coins and make a necklace out of them. That would be so cute! Or even a simple bracelet and have the coins as charms, because the guys price was ridiculous and it was simply the Finnish coat of arms Lion coin on a ring. Ok and the coin with the bear is so detailed it's amazing! You can't see but the bear has a widow's peak mark on him was amazed by that detail. Oooh and I finally tried the Yerba Mate Tea my family has there, at first sip its like not so fun but then after awhile your use to the taste and can appreciate it.
Back to the sexy purchases, so I found a glove from the infamous glove bin a beautiful green satin one! The green against cream is just omg like omg..if ever a MINDBONER..this is definitely a stiff one. Then of course went nuts at the 2$ a pair earrings table like I said their booth was on point as far as blizzness goes and eyeball amazement too for they had tons of insane vintage clutches and jewelry! Had to take off the backing of the all gold earring because it had the old skool clip on backing. And if I have such a sexy beautiful earring as those I need that nailed through my earhole. Not messing around for a second with that slipping off. Also got a cute idea to put my pearl string accessory from my jacket, to use as a full one accessory when you use two pins to hold it up and it drapes on your outfit! Gosh that was hard to explain in writing much easier just to see it in action in the pics. So now thats my new obsession. Because I want to wear more than one pin, But without looking like an Adult Girl Scout. And as you can see what's also great about it is the two pins don't have to be the same pin in order to match and flow together with the pearls. I mean gold, gold, pearls your set. Theres a Noirlette's math equation for everyone.

Vintage Fashion Expo 2012 (2)

2012-02-08T23:54:00.000-08:00

So now its time for the ALL CHANEL portion of the Vintage Fashion Expo or as I'd like to call it KARMA PRICKS! Yes, another drama at the expo was apparently the rule on taking pictures. Which was just laughable. Since these people merely own these items they are not the designer nor play any part besides vintage reseller in a event that I the customer put stock in (money) in to attend. Which keeps their "hobby" a float. Now this is what I would have said if I hadn't been spoken to like a child or a wild anarchy teenager as they seem to have viewed anyone wanted to take pictures. I was taking pictures throughout the entire event yet anytime I got to the booths toward the entrance of the expo the front part..ooh ooh ooo those people were just anal sticks. Anyways to make the story short since they don't deserve anyones attention..ok I do have to talk about this guy that lit the Mini Kanye match in me, I took a picture of two of his items and he got all snotted on me "Are you taking pictures..(again whats with the stupid questions)..Is that for your blog?" me "No..It's for my site" anal prick says "you cant take pictures" me "Fine by me I don't need to give you free fucking advertising." I puttered fucking, come on I'm a lady but I am a Noirlette. I was more mad at the fact that I was talked to like a child not an adult but then again hidden compliment in them thinking I was in high school. Also no where stated a No Photography entailing people they couldn't take pictures. And of course your a fucking reseller in a vintage expo. And I put money in your pocket. And your saying no to free advertising, traffic and connections. Fucking fine by me in this economy.
Anyways I believe the divine lord saw this all play out, divine lord being Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel and she does not have any tolerance for any of her Noirlettes being treated like adolescents lightly. I'm sure the anal prick will be wondering why mysterious cigg burns are found on him days after. And also she detested these pricks too in her time so have fun with that karma because I sure did as you will see. I walked away and was only still there for my sister. Soon then we were walking around and we came upon thee CHANEL VINTAGE HAVEN!!!! Talk about pure karma. Everything was laid out perfectly. And I go and ask the booth owners if I could take pictures. Immediately they totally let me, the guy even saying open the display door to get a better picture. He was a completely adorable older man. And the lady I'm guessing the one in charge, since I don't see him into collecting CHANEL haha, she was a vision of classic fashion! I'm so mad I didn't ask for a pic of her. She had the big round black frame glasses and all black head to heel outfit. Holding herself like the lady she is. Now the fact I could barely stop shaking from being not even inches from VINTAGE CHANEL and the best not no here and there crap like I was "trying" to take pictures of before. This was like all the classics slapping you in your face, sprawled out.. may I even say asking you to pleasure them with your glances of loving attention to their beauty. The lady didn't have a card but I took a picture of her booth sign. They were just two too wonderful people who made my day and definitely put a smile on Coco's face.

Vintage Fashion Expo 2012 (1)

2012-02-07T21:51:00.000-08:00

First off the Expo was amazing (the pieces I saw that is) but at the same time I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. Everything was cash only they really went all out on the vintage theme here, Parking ok yeah, Food um really, and buying anything EVEN YOUR TICKETS. I went with my sister who loves vintage fashion so thats so her shit. Entering in the expo your totally over whelmed by everything. Once we started wanting some stuff though thats when we got to find out everything is cash only so I was like cool I'm sure theres an ATM in here if thats the case. Nope. My biggest pet peeve is people who have a business (or apparently a hobby) and don't carry it out professionally, I mean come on this is Santa Monica you cant have a whole expo thats all cash only with not one ATM placed in the building holding this expo, plus do you know how much sexy money you'd get by putting that ATM in. So we asked the GREAT worker at the entrance and he let us know about the atm right across the street. We were so happy when we got to the machine!! Got back and found a booth that had a bin with tons of gloves! Searching though them since I've wanted a pair of white lace ones for some time now. But come on we're girls we were searching because its fucking gloves and shit loads of them. We laughed about what if we find that pair we love then ask the price and their like 50$ this whole time. Because when you see a bin full of stuff you assume its going to be less than 10$. Some stupid fucking guy stood there saying to us "What are you looking for" I don't know moron fucking unicorns? He kept talking about us looking through this glove bin and I was replying to his stupid conversation or whatever it was I don't speak moron. Finally he stopped but then I guess he wanted his wife to look at them too? Thats what my sister said. Which um bitch aint a Queen or a toddler like get in there and search like the rest of us. She doesn't need to be escorted to find gloves. Anyways then oh then he stood there with her looking for gloves talking about us. About the same shit again "These girls have been here forever looking through these gloves.. I guess their trying to find a treasure.." so usually I'm on my talking back skills I mean I'm not a mini Kanye for nothing then add in that I'm a pure blood Leo come on. Oh and you are involving my family member in it, do that to a Leo and just have fun when they eat you whole. I mean think of a lion. Anyways while looking still though the gloves I was thinking of my talking points but it was just too hard of a level I was in as a Noirlette. Mixing a bin full of gloves which is a ladies boner then I got this shopping boner going on with this moron in my ear pissing me off. Then the just good ol' annoyance of the fact his probably my age and married like fucking really really? Like get in some more vaginas and then come bugging me ok. Anyways I didn't say anything and they left without buying any gloves anyways. I'm kinda glad I did have a shopping boner in that moment cause I would have gotten kicked out for the shit that would have left my lipglossed mouth. Later found the best booth there because these bitches were on their blizzness shit. OK. You have each area for each type of customer pricing range so there is no excuse for loosing a sale. It was the perfect mix and laid out perfect no one had to be in the way of anyone. They had a section of earrings that were 2$ a pair! So yeah I was in heaven. And the ladies were so nice!! Connie Parente Vintage Accessories was the booth. They had all the clutches with insane workmanship and jeweled clasps on the clutches.

*I will be breaking down the Vintage Fashion Expo posts into 4 parts (So 4 separate posts). I didn't want to leave out any wonderful pics! It's just not Noirlette actually I'd say for sure a Noirlette sin to cut out CHANEL pieces from the editing table. So everything here on out is going to just be CHANEL slaps in the face. But heres a overall taste of the Vintage Fashion Expo.

btjunkie farewell

2012-02-06T19:00:00.000-08:00

I found out some horrible news, and if you also wanted a song today that has been on YouTube repeat, then you are aware of the crushing news..that I am about to say.. Btjunkie has gone. Left the Internet world to enter Internet heaven, which if you've used it has always been nothing less than Internet heaven. I knew its days were numbered I just had that sense, that and the fact of the mega upload war. They voluntarily chose to leave, which is the respectable way to leave. I actually thought this already happened but not volunterly of course, I thought they were taken down, because this last week when the downloading part of anything just wouldn't work. Then checked on it the next day and everything was fine. Was a close call but a dark foreshadowing of the unescapeable reality to come.
I got introduced to btjunkie from a "dating experience". I think only a Leo would label being dumped as that haha. So it was the only good thing I got out of that guy. Actually um the best thing of got out of any guy! I mean fuck if you knew btjunkie you know it's just HEAVEN! Oh and note to sad sleepless in Seattle girls, which I doubt we have any of those types of readers only because that's the opposite of a Noirlette (I'm not saying its bad, it's wonderful those people just have so many ..emotions. Noirlettes just don't have that switch I suppose) But anyways back to what I was saying, if you thought there are no guys that don't judge you by your looks and all that, um I know firsthand those guys do exsist. Cause he chose a lesser cute girl lets just say. But how could you be mad at that, true guys exsist. And they had more in common. Which for me commonality isn't a important factor in fact.. what my fancy lady wants is the main factor!!

"btjunkie we will all miss you and applaud your lady like
& true gentlemen way of going out with dignity"

Blushing yet? I think it's important to know guys can make us blush too; not just us causing the blushing...or the whole red faces..or the nervous laugh.. or the slight stuttering. If guys only knew how hott it is when they show they're nervous because why the fuck would you waste your time on a guy who can control his emotions for you? boring..I'm already asleep and it wasn't even a good nap haha.

Hanger Clips

2012-01-31T05:00:00.000-08:00

I don't ever really use paperclips anymore but these coat hanger paperclips were too cute not to buy! And they go perfectly with my vintage sewing machine tape dispenser. I originally saw them on kikki.K - but I got mine here.

Charlotte Olympia Shop

2012-01-30T05:00:00.000-08:00

I LOVE the outside of the Charlotte Olympia flagship store in London. It is so simple but perfect! I'm almost certain that adding a gold spiderweb to anything would make it amazing. But be warned - do not look for pictures of the inside of the store... you will be disappointed.

Kitten Noir

2012-01-27T12:20:00.000-08:00

I've never been much of a cat person... when it comes to actual living breathing pets I prefer dogs. But over the past few months I have developed a weird obsession with black cat related (fake / non-breathing) things. I think these Kitten Noir sunglasses by Anna-Karin Karlsson are the cutest and I would love to add them to my sunglasses collection!
