Hae y’all, I knew I forgot a platform!

OMG

I’ve been so bad about the actual blog, that is still being posted to on Instagram. Unfortunately when I made this blog, I did not realize I couldnt merge it with my own private one. Consequently all though I’ve been posting every Wenesday, theres been radio silence on tumblr. 

In the next few weeks I’ll be playing catch up on here, while deciding whether to shut down this tumblr and merge it into my original account or keep this train going. 

In the meantime, tomorrow listen to me discuss procress and the English history podcasts I listen to on repeat!

[dartedline]

Sorry about the radio silence y’all. I’ve started another project over at http://pantsuited.tumblr.com/ which will be more about terribly dressed and balding nut bags reaching for the POTUS 2016 label.

 This lady has more style and class in one outfit than those jokers have combined.

A special guest on today’s Darted Line! Who knew Chloe Sevigny willingly traveled to Park Slope? When I first came across her I just thought she was a cool teen trying to scandalize the Park Slope mommies. Never change, Chloe.

Warm weather means more Teen Queens! Love the 90s vibes with the halter dress,denim jacket, and shiny white jellies.

So the last two days NYC decided to go back to Fall temperatures. Instead of crying in sweatpants this girlie rocked some rain soaked converse with her leopard print. Teddy girls everywhere be proud.

[dartedline]

I wish I could look this chic when I'm picking up my seamless orders.

Older lady shows us whippersnappers how to work casual spring style. Cute tunic+sunglasses+excellent ankle tatoos.

[dartedline]

Teens doing what teens do best, reminding us of our impending irrelevance.

[dartedline]

Over-the-knee boots that even Jane Fonda would approve. More of us need to watch Klute, and not just for Jane's shag and Donald Sutherland's sideburns.

[dartedline]

As a noted fan of socks and skirts myself, I can only jealously draw this perfect outfit rather than emulate. Do not attempt this level of excellence at home.

[dartedline]

I can't decide if I want her outfit, or her pizza more.

[dartedline]

"And THIS is how you color coordinate and look like a (cute) boss!!"

[dartedline]

On a rainy day like this, just grap your most festive tablecloth and imagine those happy hour margaritas

[dartedline]

Spotted at Fashion Week. Practical and sensible shoes, excellent hat. Still too cool for the general public with that red coat.

[dartedline]

When I grow up I'd like to be this cool rocking a pink spring suit. There's still time, right?

[dartedline]

In the early stages of spring, no one cares about dresses or skirts-not without all that winter weight gain. Just easy sweaters and forgiving pajama pants.

"I mostly work in watercolor. It’s a very versatile medium in terms of subject matter and content. For the nude studies, the shorter five minute poses are ink and pencil, but for the longer twenty minute poses, I’ll use watercolor. Everyone is always wondering why the hell I am bringing watercolor to Drink N’ Draw because there are no tables, it’s super crowded, and disaster could befall at any time. I could spill my ink on someone else’s work, but I have never done it (knocks on wood). I think watercolor for twenty minutes is very appropriate."

Today on Filter & Funnel we are talking with the illustrator Rachel Merrill. Read the whole interview here. http://www.filterandfunnel.com/posts/rachel-merrill
