Hi, My Name Is Fifi [WOOF] [WOOF]
I need to confess something. The outfit
I claimed I was wearing today (on the 4th of July), isn't
infact the outfit I wore today. To be more precise: I went American
on the 1st of July, then did some mojo-losing on the
2nd... so are you interested in seeing what I actually
wore today? No? Me neither, but that's just the way this blog roles
SO YOU JUST HAVE TO GO WITH IT!
Trousers + Shoes + Hat: H&M/ Shirt: James Dean Collection/ Blouse without sleeves: Benetton/ Necklace: Forgot the name of the store... sorry/ Sunglasses: Flea market |
I've got a little funny anekdote about
that chocker necklace. Well not that
funny, but I expect some chuckles.
When I
was about 13 years old, I was obsessed with this German band called
Tokio Hotel. Their frontman, Bill Kaulitz, always wore a choker
necklace. In my aspiration to be the female version of him, I had
to have such a necklace.
So of
we go to the city, looking for a replica Bill necklace. It took some
time before we could find anything resembling it (but we obviously
found one).
Bill Kaulitz... without a chocker necklace, oh the irony! |
The
store selling the necklace was a combination of a
survival-underground-gothic-military dump... store. Very exciting
stuff, I know. The salesman was a young bold lad with military
trousers on. He asked if he could help us and innocent looking me
said: “Yes, I would like to buy that choker necklace laying in the
display case”. Well, to be honest, my dad said that, I just looked
innocent. The salesman asked: “For who is it?”, whereby all my
family members pointed at me and he began to laugh. “Alright then,
little girl, go try it on”. So I did try it on and when I turned
back around facing the salesman, he was laughing and laughing and
laughing... Then he began to bark at me and calling me Fifi (like the
name of a dog your nan would probably own... you know, like a mop on
four legs).
Bit
embarrassing at that time, but know very funny. Every time I'm
wearing this necklace everyone starts barking at me and calling me
Fifi... very funny. Though, if I've ever found fame, I would use Fifi
as my stage name and I would only wear choker necklaces... well and
some clothes to match the look... and some shoes... maybe a hat...
Love,
Dominique
