cowboys and rastas

[aimeekitty]

SO GLAD IT'S FRIDAY.

More hustle-training tomorrow. Which might sound a bit misleading given the pimpin boots below.

OH EM GEE.
For a while I'd been toying with the idea of getting a pair of cowboy boots to wear with jeans and dresses... I've been loving my other boots so much... so I finally got a pair I liked on ebay for super cheap. I love that they look like they've had a life. The toes are all pointy and pimpin. XD Now I just need to get some slim leg jeans to tuck into them. But these boots, I LOVE THEM. I could not resist dancing around the living room in them. YAY



I saw this silly SNL video today (from orange-crushed) and had a huge wave of college nostalgia and had to do a little sketch to help you understand. When I was 17 or so I moved 3,000 miles to go to art school (Calarts) in Valencia, CA. Which basically meant, I went to school with Ras Trent. The exception being us geeky animator types (as seen above)

For us you couldn't be an art student unless you owned a pair of black converse shoes. I remember being in a class once where 2/3 of the students were wearing them.

I tried Chucks in high school. My feet eventually ventured into sizes where Chucks do not exist.

Girl, I like your boots! As I recall, I had a pair of gray ones that I liked when I was a kid.

*note to self, buy a Hawaiian shirt. All the awesome animators wear them*

Oh man, I'm so glad I haven't ran into any Ras Trents, seeing as I live right in the middle of SoCal and just a half our drive from CalArts. If I do meet one, he'd better be Andy Samberg.

great catch and so so envious of those boots! they look so lovely and broken in. they look like good Southwest/TX/AZ boot.

Love chucks, but unless they are sparkly or purple or custom, they look huge my #10+/42 feet on my 5'4" frame.

Who was in the SNL video? As usual Hulu gives up nothing (a "US only" message to be precise) to people outside the US. But sometimes the video gets more or less legally posted on YouTube and others, and it's easier to find it then if we have come clues on things like the people in it, along with the tag "SNL".

Awwl those are cute boots! I would of danced in them too *lol* "A DVD of Cool Runnings!" Your drawing made me crack up at the comparison you drew, those are too cute.

I think if you look for SNL "Ras Trent" you can probably find it. :)

yea :D awesome boots.

i can totally relate to the animator & art student thing haha. i think i was more of a hybrid of the 2 obviously cause of the way i dress. but all my friends in the animation program were socks & sandals types.

I recall that happening at my school too, though the art kids at my school were way "indie". Which is the fashion statement now anyway.

But I was also a hybrid, like above poster. Since I had my hands in the fashion department a little I think that decided things for me, and also since I was the anti-establishment goth kid in high school, when I went to art school and everyone was 'anti-establishment' I kind of turned preppy.

Jeff says that he knew annoying girls who just bought all their clothes from the darkest corner of Goodwill, they looked awful, but that was the cool thing to do.
He says they wore teddy bears that they took the stuffing out of and wore them as jackets.

Wow.

Oh art school. *e-highfive*

AHAHA ohhh art school. XD The only difference for me would've been that instead of 'animator' it would have been 'illustrator'. XD

HAHAHA YES! Relatable entry is highly relatable.
Also, I love your boots, they're totally cute :>

I can't see the video, because I'm not in the United States. Only one more year, and hopefully, I'll be living there! *crosses fingers*.

Cute drawing, did you do it?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

yup! I did it.
