Doppelganger

HELLO THERE MEINE LIEBLINGS!

I really love the word 'Doppelganger', it rolls off your tongue and is incredibly difficult not to say in an accent. The whole idea that there is someone out there walking around wearing your face is a really freaky yet really fucking cool concept. (Obviously not if you are an identical twin, you probably find that shit mundane as hell, and are all like 'yeah that's my life!') But for me, not being a twin and all, I find it intriguing. Like how does someone who is not genetically related to me, own my face? WTF?
Last year my friend Cathal found my doppelganger whilst searching the net for images in our Photoshop class. It's a pretty bizarre feeling seeing somebody that looks exactly like you, but is not you.
Here is the image he found:

and here is an image of me for reference:

Brendan Duffy Photographer

I don't really know if these two images do the 'can you see that this bitch stole my face' effect justice as I have almost no images of me from that angle. But shortly after I found this image I posted it on facebook without saying anything. (because I'm a crafty son of a gun) and it fooled a LOT of people, including my folks, my relatives and some of my closest friends. So if you're sitting there reading this and quietly remarking in your head 'I can see some similarities but heck no are they Doppelgangers!'  Then screw you sir because we are. 

And now a bit about my doppelganger:

Barbara Feldon (aka my Doppelganger, or am I her doppelganger, seeing as she is older? Hmm) is an American model/actress that was born in the 1930's. I had never heard of her before I found out she had my face, but I do know she is alive and kicking! Although she no longer acts, she writes. Her most famous book being: 'Living alone and loving it'.

In some traditions a doppelganger seen by friends or relatives is a sign of bad luck, and if seen by yourself is a sign of certain, imminent death............ But I've seen mine and I ain't dead! I think it's pretty fucking cool.

I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE.

Here is a list of things that I am so desperate to have in my possession  that I would consider the most depraved, defective, SICK sexual act just to get them............
JK I'm not a slut............ OR AM I?
Why not just take a look at em and let me know what sick deeds you would do for these sick threads.

Erin Elizabeth Kelly 'pussy' for Monroe Apparel

I am a HUGE fan of this lady photographer and I really want to wear her pussy on my tits. Ha! 

You can check out Erin's photography HERE.

And you can also buy this amazing tee from Monroe Apparel as well as other Shit Hot items from HERE.

SugarPills Sweatshirts.

I came across Sugarpills last year and just adore them! How disgustingly amazing is that Burger Jumper? There is something so gross and yet so cool about it that I must have it. NOW! I can smell the beef just looking at it! 

You can check out the Sugarpills website ANSEO (Gaeilge for here). Not only do they do amazing burger sweatshirts (as if that wouldn't be enough) they also have many more savage style jumpers, t-shirts, skirts and leggings. 

'The Shit' Sweatshirt by Bonnie Strange at the 'The Shit Shop'

I have a major girl/style/life crush on Bonnie Strange. The girl is FUCKING FABULOUS and I just want to hang out with her, eating veggie burgers, drinking champagne and being as FUCKING FABULOUS as she is!  Luckily for me ( and maybe you too, if you want to get in touch with your inner Strange) you can now buy the amazing sweatshirts pictured above from HIER. ( German for here, an homage to Bonnie Strange!)

I am going to own all of these tops and then I am going to be the happiest girl in the room that I am in. :)

HAPPYNEWYEAR!!!!!!!


So.... Christmas is over, I hope everyone dressed to the nines, kissed under the mistletoe and over indulged as much as is humanly possible. What I love about Christmas is, it's the only time of year where you can get dressed up as much as you want whilst also getting so mind-numbingly inebriated that you consummate with a bottle of Jack Daniels, and nobody cares! Because wow, you looked great in your sequin dress and sure weren't you only having the craic?  YOLO!
But alas, it is over for another year! But what follows Christmas is something equally as splendid........... THE JANUARY SALES!!!!
This year I went a bit mad on the sales, but all from the comfort from my own home. Dublin around this time of year is MENTAL! People turn into savages when price reductions come to town and this year because I was working so much and also didn't want to be flattened by a stampede of young girls running towards the last size 8 Topshop 'it' dress as if it was Jesus' loin cloth , I decided to stay at home and do my shopping from there.

And here is some of what I got:

Asos

Jeffrey Campbell 'Shane' Boot

De Riguer Boot Office

Asos White Warrior

Yes 4 pairs of boots, but I have had my eye on each of them for quite sometime and got them at a fraction of the price! The Jeffrey Campbell 'Shane's' for example retailed at 182 euro and I managed to get em for 75...... which is pretty fricking magical!

And now for my purchases that I don't wear on my feet.

All of these lovely items are from ASOS, and I can't wait to style them. The PVC pants are my favourite. How shit cool are they? 

I would be only delighted to hear what you got in the sales. Did any of you exceed 4 pairs of shoes? If so, WHAT SHOES? I must know. :)
