OBSESSED. I watch fansubs (orignal japanese anime with english subtitles done by bilingual fans) to the point that I've picked up a good deal of Japanese. Anime is a fascinating medium, I've seen some of the best love stories and greatest action in really good anime. I promise to get back to some fashion and to finally document my DIY's eventually, but since this blog is about what makes me tick, today is anime day</p>
<p>Some of the first anime I ever saw was on Adult Swim, in particular Inuyasha and Trigun. If you've never really watched much anime, you could do much worse than to start with these two. Sesshomaru and Vash the Stampede are two characters after my own heart.</p>

If you're like me and have watched so much good and bad anime that you're constantly on the search for something new and mindblowing here are some suggestions:
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Best overlooked romantic oldie: His and Her Circumstances: By the same director as Neon Genesis with the same mangaesque style incorporating art and the written word. Beautiful, honest and haunting. Watch the first 5 episodes <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fnhi52qSg-c&feature=PlayList&p=7E4416600398314C&index=0&playnext=1">here</a>.
</div><object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fnhi52qSg-c&hl=en&fs=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fnhi52qSg-c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344" />
</object><br />
Best hilariously random: Azumanga Daioh. Brilliant and makes me rofl everytime I watch it. It's so hard to explain because it's so darn random but watch 2 episodes and thank me later.<br />
<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HNlODMdxdlY&hl=en&fs=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HNlODMdxdlY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344" /><br />
</object> Best recent: Code Geass. I'm still in the midst of watching season 2 of this, but it's soooooooooo good I had to put it on here. The art, the plot, Lelouch, all of it is mindblowing. I could only find a pretty horrible quality video of episode one since it's being taken down due to copyright nonsense, but this anime is so gorgeous and compelling you must watch it in it's full quality which you can get by going <a href="http://getfansub.com/wiki/Code_Geass">here.</a><br />
<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vhKY0qn4TrQ&hl=en&fs=1" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vhKY0qn4TrQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344" />
</object><br />
I'm going to do lots more anime posts in the future, and for all those who don't like anime at all, how sad for you... ^_^

<p>The models makeup is perfection, right up my alley, The perfect black liquid line with the rest of the face kept fresh and rosy. They look like the living versions of the flowers that are adorning almost all the clothing.</p>

Not to turn this blog into TheTudors fansite, but omg the costumes are amazing!! This scene literally took my breath away. The shoulders, the leather, the <em>pleating of the leather</em>, the cream leggings with the brown boots and jacket, everything about it is phenomal. My mind is blown.</p>

Besides being supremely jealous and more than a little bit lonely, I'm also camera-less for a week since I gave him my camera to take lots of pictures so that I can live vicariously through him and his tan. I've been using the free time however to not clean my room(heh), finally start watching The Tudors, and dive deep into my blog obsessions. The sumptuousness of the costumes of The Tudors is enough to keep me company for days.</p>

I'm particularly inspired by the men's fashion. It's Balmain without the rock n' roll. Just sex, rich fabrics and sharp tailoring. Expect some DIY's with some costume shop cast offs and my old velvet blazers soon!<br style="text-decoration: underline;" />

I was not prepared for these pants, Alexander Wang, you may just be a genius. At the very least you know exactly what it takes for me to delude myself into thinking i'm some sort of rock star. These have shot to the top of the fantasy list by a leap and a bound.

Set up my <a href="https://twitter.com/doneherin">Twitter</a> account as promised and I'm trying out <a href="http://illuminex.com/ecto/">Ecto</a>, a desktop blogging program for my Mac. My sheer uselessness as a blogger has been primarily due to my overwhelming laziness, so maybe all this new gadetry and streamling will take away all or some of my excuses.</p>I've been up to quite a bit of browsing online and while it's no secret that the big department stores like Barneys and Bergdorf are having fire sales on some sweet designer clothing, I've recently bought a ton of non designer stuff (on sale) that has really rounded out my wardrobe. For example <a href="http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_027B736825110001P?vName=Clothing&cName=Women%27s&sName=Top">this shirt</a> is of surprisingly good quality AND it's from Kmart! (trust me you're no more shocked than I was) and I got it for about 12 dollars.<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"> <a target="_blank" title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0216vb1.jpg"><img src="http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/786/img0216vb1.jpg" border="0" height="600" width="450" /></a>

Naturally I bought it in black as well....

I'm also getting a bigger memory card for my camera to go along with my bright and shiny new imageshack account so expect regular posts soon. I also will be positing a link to my Twitter account since I've found that tends to be great for stream of consciousness posting.
In the meantime check out some images from Balenciaga's prefall collection. It's so primal and beautiful that I was left a little breathless when I first saw it. I definitely have some outfits inspired by it to post, especially thanks to the lovely Vera over at <a href="http://deepinvogue.blogspot.com/">Deep In Vogue</a>, and the fantastic mohair coat she made for me. Jordan Dunn's photo in particular keeps haunting me, I love making black and brown work together, and the details on the dress are amazing

Also I'll most likely be taking classes at FIT this semester in the hopes of finally being able to pursue a passion of mine.

All I've got is my iPhone camera and the one on my computer, neither of which really is cutting it. I hope to have the situation recitifed soon, but in the meantime a little inspiration:</span></span>

I thought I would use this as an area for my daily musings, photos of my outfits and things that inspire me. I've had a great time lurking in the "What are you wearing thread?" on <a href="http://www.thefashionspot.com/">tFS </a>and I thought I'd go ahead and share some of my (mis)adventures thrifting and various other fashion induced mayhem and inspiration.
I love my TiVo, especially since without it I would have completely missed My Fair Lady on TMC a few days ago. Let's take a moment to revel in the glory that is that black and white dress. It feels fresh and masterful every time I see it. This year it is a perfect complement to the graphic mood that seems to be common theme in all the fall collection. I live in NYC so black is my wardrobe staple, but sometimes the only thing better than an all black ensemble is a black and white ensemble...
