Zazzle store is up! Plenty of ways to wear your support right across your chest! Please check the site, spread the word, and ORDER STUFF FOR THE CAUSE! I must emphasize that I am not keeping a dime from these sales. The proceeds will go directly to the Occupy Wall Street protesters to cover their needs. If you're a protester, and you're reading this, thank you and I love you!
If you can, I highly encourage you to click 'customize' on the design of your choice, put it on a NICE WARM HOODIE, and buy a box of them. Set this as the shipping address:
UPS Store
Occupy Wall Street
118A Fulton St. #205
New York, NY 10038
You can also direct-donate care packages, money orders, et cetera to this address.
If you've been following my Twitter account and/or my personal Facebook, you already know. But, officially and on the record, CCS supports Occupy Wall Street.
I'm working as quickly as I can on a line of products. Nothing too fancy, T-shirts, a hoodie, some stickers, that kind of thing. And 100 percent of profits will go to the cause. It's already getting chilly around here, let alone in NYC. They're going to need donations to keep warm. To accompany the official release, probably late this week, I will be posting some DIY tutorials on how to pretty up your statement shirt. Bling it, sew it, cut-and-tie it, use your mind and your hands to make something good beautiful. Yeah, we're talking liberation fashion. Politics getting into fashion is nothing new.

I do like this year's event title: Fashion Is Empowerment. I just may or may not have hatched an E-book idea over the weekend on a similar premise, so darned if that isn't a pleasant coincidence.
Surely you recognize the blouse from a recent post. I had a theory that dots echoing dots might look rather nice, so I paired it up with this thrifted red jersey dress. I needed something to wear to work tonight, and this dress is uncomfortably cleavage-y for that purpose, so I brought things back. The trouble is... it just looks, well, so sweet it's saccharine. Even for someone like me, whose style is at least 80 percent uberfemme.
Here's the fix (With a rocker pose as a salute to Vegan Black Metal Chef, one of the best cooking shows I've seen online... uh, EVER.)
Blouse: Eyelash
Dress: Thrifted
Belt: Body Central
Bracelet: Candie's
Spider ring: from a music festival like 9 years ago
Black star sapphire engagement ring: Bauer Jewelers, Vincennes, IN
Boots: Payless
Platinum clip-in streaks: Hot Topic
Alas, these are only the shoes I *wish* I could wear to work. Stilettos don't mix well with being on your feet in a retail environment for 7 hours.
Will made me pose with a wine glass because he's a pretentious wanker.
And lest you get the wrong idea about a broad posing around with a big cheesecake grin in her kitchen:
Bite me, patriarchy. I just think my kitchen looks cool.
