Meet MANBUSH.

February 15th, 2012

photo nudie 764x1024 Meet MANBUSH. All ye with sensitivities toward era-specific privates talk, close your eyes! The rest of you, read on.

You know how we all talk about (well, ok – I’ll speak for myself) “lady bush”? Come on, don’t be weird. It’s the puffy pubic plethora we all know from our favorite 70s pornos. Remember? Maybe you’ve seen it from grainy Woodstock footage? Maybe you have no idea what I’m talking about? (What! Yes you do…)

I offer you this, familiar friends: a new term. MANBUSH. I seen it with mine own eyes in the store today, people! A yarn-y homage to untamed penis bangs!

Anyway, these hot knitted fella’s are a steal. And with those looks, they won’t be hanging around for long.

They’ve gotta wash their “hair”…

XX,

Aging Tastes Good

February 15th, 2012

Hi All,

Right now I want to talk about birthdays. You see, my birthday is fast approaching, and for that reason I am in Paris. (I’ll come back to that.)

But I won’t lie to you, sometimes birthdays are difficult. I think to myself:

“Who am I? What have I been doing? Is that a new wrinkle? I can’t hide mouth wrinkles with bangs or a new haircut!”

Down the rabbit-hole I fall. And then I think to myself,

“Maybe someone will give me money for my birthday. Maybe I’ll get more money back from my taxes. Maybe I will save up for botox.”

This makes me happy for a second. And then I think to myelf, “Look at what you’ve become: a part of the machine, you say yes to the man, you’re but a robot!”

Haha, but not this year! This year I’m in Paris, where EVERYTHING GETS, no… TASTES BETTER WITH AGE!!!

culture Aging Tastes Good

2012 is a good year my friends. So far, I have been in Paris for a week, and I have been non-stop eating all kinds of dirt-nasty, moldy cheese… such as roquefort, brie, camembert, and some others that I can neither pronounce nor spell. I have also been sippin on that wine juice, which is just super-old grapes and stuff!!

The point is this: *Aging tastes good* It might smell really bad at first, but then your nose will adjust to that smell…. and then-only then-will you be able to enjoy classy wine and cheese.

Unless you’re lactose-intolerant. (If this is the case, you should think about botox.)

-Chels

p.s. If you or someone you know is having a birthday, it is a good idea to get them a bottle of aged wine, paired with a zodiac wine stopper or -in the name of all things classy and French- a Napolean wine stopper (in stores).

Valentine’s Day Monsters

February 4th, 2012

A couple of days ago, I was driving down Sunset through Silverlake, and this is what I saw:

IMAG0016 1024x612 Valentines Day Monsters
Can you believe this?!?!?!

A wave of total outrage washed over me!

Everyone knows that Spitfire Girl is V-day headquarters….

I knew that there was obviously something fishy behind this false advertising. And then, the next day passing through Silverlake, I saw this:

99centgollum 612x1024 Valentines Day Monsters
February 2, 2012

I knew it had to be some type of other-wordly evil and it was…. Gollum. All he ever wanted was to be loved and now he’s taking it out on the rest of us.

Hopefully you’re smart, and know not to buy you’re new girl or guy something like a mop or 99 cent can of tomatoes. Because if you do, Gollum wins, and no one will ever be loved again.

***

The very next day, I saw this:

wolverine 612x1024 Valentines Day Monsters
February 3, 2012

Yes, that is a wolverine…one of Gollum’s henchmen.

He must have been patrolling the place for nonbelievers like me.

Remember: how much you’re loved is directly proportional to the gifts you give and receive.

ok, OK, maybe that’s harsh…

but you have a good chance of making the most out of your V-day if you shop at Spitfire rather than the dollar store.

So don’t believe the lies.

Valley of the Dolls

February 2nd, 2012

Today, for whatever reason, I thought of this:

 Valley of the Dolls

So, naturally, I had an inspired photoshoot in the store…
