Miu Meow

I remember posting a look from Miu Miu's Spring 2010 Collection  on my sister's Facebook page about a year ago.  I found the collection absolutely hilarious with all the ridiculous prints from nude women to small cats.  My (twin) sister's name is Catherine. We call her Cat for short.  Cat loves cats. She loved the collection (in a funny non-serious way).

I thought the cat prints were so incredibly tacky and reminiscent of my third grade teacher, Mrs.Hararcz. Mrs. Hararcz was infamous for her tacky sweaters. No one, and I mean no one could out tacky her sweaters. You know the ones I'm talking about.. the frumpy, shapeless cardigans with a classroom scene of teacher in front of her students smiling pointing at the chalkboard with her ruler. Which is ironic because Mrs.Hararcz never smiled. In fact she THREW OUT my 64 pack of  Crayolas because I was "making a scene" after spilling a few on the ground! I will never forget that. Maybe that's why I wasn't keen on the prints, because they reminded me of my rage-aholic teacher. Annnnyways that's who I imagined Miu Miu's target customer- a frumpy school teacher.

  

Here are some visuals to help you out.

I know Tavi has been flaunting her Miu MIu gear for a while now, but l still wasn't convinced that real (chic) people wear the cats.

However, most recently I have been seeing these Miu Miu prints everywhere.  The seemingly infinite ways to make these cheesy print look chic made me fall in love.

 

 

 

I imagine Miuccia Prada was probably inspired by these rather "hip" cats.

 

Were you skeptical of the prints? Change of heart, perhaps?

Commitment Issues

OK people time to get serious. Let's just say I ain't a blog virgin. In fact, one might say I am a bit of a blog whore. I have started 13 blogs! Yes, 13. I'm not proud of it. Each one died, rather quickly, due to my incredible lack of commitment.

Each blog I've gone in thinking I'll be the next Tavi after week 1 . Dries Van Noten will start sending me clothes after week 2. Karl Lagerfeld will use me as his muse after week 3 and in about a month or so I will be front page of WWD.

Although my expectations remain the same,I have finally come to the realization that it may take a little more time than I expected.

So here I go, starting yet another blog. You know how the saying goes... 14th time's the charm!



T.A.P.S.



P.S. If you have even a tingling of interest in my blog or pity my poor soul, please follow me (yes, I have resorted to begging)! I need to know someone's reading this blog and my thoughts aren't cast into the black hole that is the internet.
