The (mini) masses have spoken and André 3000 is apparently where it’s at. In fact, here’s a quote from one of my friends that weighed in:
thinking with your eyes: 1) gossel 2) andre 3000 3) kid cudi
thinking with your ears: 1) andre 3000 2) gossel 3) kid cudi
thinking with your @#$%!?: gossel and andre 3000 at the same time (not on the list): kid cudi
Hmm… I’m not going to take the space or the time right now to talk about the Kid Cudi hate (although I’m feeling a strong urge to do so) and get down to the business of my dream date with the wonderful Mr. Benjamin.
Location: Well since the space travel is out of the question and Georgia’s been done before (I’m not too fond of heat anyway) Amsterdam it is!
Activities: I’ve heard I would love Amsterdam so of course I want to do it all. But I guess I can narrow it down to 2 museums in the morning / early afternoon, dinner cruise on the canal and then red light district after dark… yea baby, yea ;)
Now for the fun part…. Clothes!!
Daytime: Rock N Roll Wiggle Dress in “Tattoo” + my hand-altered yellow chucks + my little diablo shrinky-dink guitar pick earrings. I mean, museums are wonderful places but if I’m going to focus on the masters and not trippin’ out because I’m on a date with Andre 3000, I need to be comfortable. Nothing says comfort like a cute rockin’ mini dress and some good ole’ Converse.
Dress: Deadly Dames clothing Shoes: Converse via Yellow Rat Bastard (they’re cheaper there) + black & red sharpies from Staples. Earrings: talk to me, I’ll make you some :D
Nighttime: I guess this deserves a better breakdown so…
Dress: The Micheline Dress in Black with Black Chiffon Trim by Pinup Couture If you haven’t noticed yet, I love looking like a pretty pretty pinup/rocker princess in black every chance I get. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. This dress is gorgeous, sexy & classy. What else would I need? Ah yes. shoes and accessories… onward!
Shoes: Sugar Skulls Heel by Iron Fist Iron Fist makes the best bad-ass shoes. Period. I actually adore their monster platform series but I’m pretty sure Mr. 3000 is already shorter than me so these baby heels will do.
Accessories: I’m in favor of the less is more theory when it comes to accessories so most days I have my staples and a pair of dope earrings. Since this is a special occasion I’d want to make some. For Andre 3000, I’m thinking tarot card shrinky-dinks one The Star and the other Death. As a matter of fact I’ll think I’ll make them anyway. They’re gonna look something like these trees but cooler.
Amsterdam, Art & Andre Benjamin. Yep coolest dream date ever.
