FUCK PEGGY MOFFITT- Introducing the TRUE "go girls!" of the week

Hey guys, check this shit out- you can buy traditional Mayan clothing for barbie dollls!

This ain't no mass produced, glittery-glitzy-pastel-pink-n-oops-my-ass-is-hangin-out girly girl clothes for barbie either- these perty outfits are handmade from the Mayan women of the indigenous communities of Guatemala using authentic designs and traditional Mayan fabric. Women who are trying to support their families in a very impoverished area (fuck Peggy Moffitt- these ladies get the true "go girl!" of the week).

Instead of donating your next $15 to a cute little star that gets hung with the other 100s in your local grocery store (and who knows where that money really goes anyway, hrmmmm?), why not get yourself a super adorable Mayan outfit for your cousin Betsey's barbie doll?


Now, that's some classy shit!

Traditional Mayan Clothing for Barbie

Ch-Ch-Chanel tats

Yep, that's me. Yes, that's real. No, it (surprisingly) didn't hurt. Yes, I am mildly insane.

Introducing Peggy Moffitt, mod fashion icon (and that's pretty much it).

While wasting far too much time googling random images with keywords such as "cute," "adorable," "uber girly" (yes, I have used that one), and "retro," I stumbled across this crazy adorable mod sensation from the sixties- Peggy Moffitt.

What to say about Peggy? She was a model and, much as I hate to admit it, no one's ever really interested in seeing what goes on in the head of a model. Their job is to "shut up and look pretty." And don't bother sending me nasty comments or hate mail for saying that. After all, the name of my blog is CYNICAL TRASH- I can be as jaded and non-PC as I want to :-p

HOWEVER- for those lovely people who are interested in learning about where this lovely creature came from, I did do a tad bit of research, all of which is very cliche. She was born to Hollywood parents, her father was a movie producer or something, she tried acting, was unsuccessful, and hooked up with dude photographer William Claxton. From what I have read, they did fall in love and manage to stay married though, until his death in 2008 :-( So Peggy gets half a point for making a teeny tiny scratch with her girly girl nails on "breaking" the cliche. 

Whatever, she had a great look and became one of the biggest style icons of the 60s mod fashion. That still gets a "go, girl" to me (although I'm crazy hesitant about awarding her the tag of "icon").
