My obsession is less about acquiring, and more about editing what I have, in my quest towards getting "the look" - which is an idea that mostly lurks in the back of my mind, although I have a lot of photos up on Pinterest that I think illustrate what I want...
http://pinterest.com/demimondaine/ If I had to best sum it up, I would say "The Look" begins with Wolford 2011-2012, and branches out to embrace Jitrois, Cabaret (the film), Dita von Teese, "Frauleins" by Ellen von Unwerth, Spanish equestrian, character shoes and fishnets, and Marlene Dietrich dressed in a man's tuxedo.
I have been working towards a look that is streamlined, sexy, fitted, and fierce - but I know I am still missing the mark, because my friends call me "Betty Boop", which drives me a little NUTS.
