Fashion Diary #18: Cinnamon Roll
Mon, 4 February 2008 9:56 am[Photos by Justyn Olby]
You may have noticed that I’m wearing leg warmers in the first two photos but not the last two.
Totally Justyn’s doing. He’s on a misguided mission to rid me of radical cutesy outfits forever.
When we met at the studio, one of the first things he said was, “I hope you didn’t bring big shoes and socks today.”
“No,” I assured him. “I decided to be kind to you.”
When I put on this outfit, he grumbled. “Socks.”
“Back up a little, will you please, so we can get your ugly socks in the picture.”
I protested. “They’re not ugly and they’re not socks.”
“And… where do socks cover? Foot and legs, right? What do these cover?”
That sounded logical, but it wasn’t quite right, either.
I just couldn’t figure it out because I was focused on trying to look like a dumb decorative ornament while Justyn snapped away.
(And he’ll probably tell you that I am one so I don’t even have to try.)
But I had to say something, so I said, “These are leg warmers, excuse me.”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” he said. “Big difference. What is the difference between a sock and a leg warmer?”
“The length?” suggested Mark, who was my videographer that day.
“Well, what about knee high socks?” argumentative Justyn wanted to know.
“Leg warmers are sort of loose,” I said, pulling at them to demonstrate.
“My socks are loose,” he retorted.
He just never quits.
Then, Mark came up with, “They’ve got a hole in the bottom. There you go.”
And that sort of ended the argument and we went on to debate other finer points of fashion.
We had to make a barter trade, too. He’d shoot me with my leg warmers if I also let him shoot me without.
Which was fine with me, except I think I look a little naked, a little underdressed, without them, since I haven’t got any pants on.
But that was perfectly fine with Justyn and Mark, they both agreed.
Of course.

Hey Qiaoyun:)
Great Shots this round too! They look really cute yet stunning too ;c)
Haha, thanks to Goonfather, I kinda like that Papaya song too…that just inspired a possible blog post in future. :)
AAAwwwww…….”Mei mei”…..so saccharine sweet :P!
Leg-warmers are soooo 1980. As soon as you put them on I expected the theme tune to “Fame” to start :o)
You look stunning with or without them, but you look even better without them. While you know fashion, I know photography…
Besides… I TOLD you that your audience would appreciate something simple and beautiful, even if you do appear a “little naked” (which actually serves to make you look vulnerable and even more cute).
shit, my nose bleeds again.
at least they’re not toe socks…
nad - haha.. same! i wish i can have photoshoots!
w/o the “socks” seems nicer le….maybe its a guy’s thing. We don’t like legs to be covered up.
very nice photos ;x
I love these photos. I keep coming back. My daughter would love yourfashions
And don’t forget to give credit to the photographer, he also did a great job capturing these beautiful images.
Charming :). I’m sure many people would drool over these photos.
