Back to That.

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").

The Twigster

Okay, so I understand that Twiggy gets a lot of crap for influencing so many adolescent girls to become anorexic. I also believe that she (and her little supermodel entourage) are to blame for changing the way supermodels look, and (unintentionally) promoting that uber skinny, "I wouldn't touch a cheeseburger with a ten foot pole, but if I did, you better guarantee I'd throw it up in a heartbeat" sort of persona. 

But, whatever. I still think she was an amazing supermodel. And I love that bitch's style- the babydoll dresses, the mod influence- I would love to be able to pull off a look like Twiggy's. And, something about those doe eyes and flirty eyelashes really snag a person's attention. Here are a few my faves.. 

Project Cutesy-ness

I have a mild obsession with classy, vintage photos. In fact, I have an entire folder on my computer filled solely with tasteful, cutesy photos. I could have a field day creating post after post of adorable pictures. But, since I made a promise to myself to actually post more, I try not to bore you with 2083290382 pictures of... cutesy-ness (then again, who could oppose to seeing pictures of scantily clad, super adorable chicks?) 

Maybe I'll allow myself to post one each day. Yes, yes, there we have it- a cutesy/classy/adorable/tasteful featured pic of the day.

With that being said, here's today's- a cute lil' Indian chick with an adorable pose. And, we're done.

 

summer lovin'

Today it is hot out. Very, very hot out. Rather than bitch and complain about the weather, as I often do (and don't we all), I am actually fucking loving every minute of it. I definitely am a sunshine kinda girl and fully intend on owning multiple houses in tropical-esque lands, including but not limited to Hawaii (you were expecting something more obscure, I bet, but remember, this is just one of the many houses I plan to acquire).

Check out these lovely kittens taken from a 1977 issue of McCall's magazine. Sooo adorable. Sooo fun! I die to be a part of this girly fun. Courtesy of Blue Velvet Vintage.

just fuckin amazing.

I fully admit that I stole both of these photos from Janina Marie Flohn's blog. That bitch has some amazing photos up. I just wanna know where the FUCK she finds them!

I'd also like to point out that, yes, I am fully aware that one of these photos is G-rated while the other is about to go XXX. It actually makes me want to put them in two separate blogs but um, I can get my fix in one.

sex.
