Emmi Valve Fan Club

Okay, I’m not trying to turn this in to a fashion blog. I was just having fun doodling and colouring these little everyday scenes, and this is what came out of them. (…Don’t get the Emm Looks -pun? Well check out this, it’s the most well known street style blog in Finland. And ”Hel” as in ”Helsinki” so…)

The Occasion: Going to the studio. 1) Nothing done here. Not for the hair. Not for the face. 2) This is fake. (Like I even could afford a real one.) 3) Elevators seem to be the places where I finally realize what I actually am wearing.  4) My standard breakfast; a croissant and a mochachino. Then some REAL coffee. 5) A completely irrational selection of shirts and tops. 6) Nowadays these jeans are called ”boyfrien jeans”. Back in the days ALL jeans looked like this.

The Occasion: The most boring and stupid ”student party” I’ve ever seen. 1) My ”I can’t believe I payed to get in here” -face. 2) Very entertaining match box. 3) Teeny tiny little beer, overpriced and served from a plastic cup. 4) My most unflattering grey sweater. (Also known sometimes as ”lesbian shirt”.) 5) This black skirt I use everywhere, with everything. Really.

The Occasion: Stopping by at the day care, on a rainy day. 1) Hat, Could not find my umbrella when I left the house. 2) Huge cardigan, because wool is warm, even when wet. 3) ”Is THIS my umbrella? Did I left it HERE? Could I just take it? What if it’s not mine, would that be stealing?” Didn’t take it. Very high moral from me. 4) Ugly rubber boots. Need to get prettier ones.

The Occasion: Tax lecture for artists and other low lifes. 1) Make up! Yes! Shit loads of it! 2) This sweater makes me feel like Audrey from Twin Peaks. 3) My comfort-coffee. One you need when you are about to enter a room full of strangers. 4) I love these jeans. I only wear other pants to trick my friends in to thinking that I actually wash this pair every once in a while. 5) A note book to doodle in during the lectures.

The Occasion: Children’s party. 1) Shitty hair with a weird hairdo. 2) Paperclip used as a hairpin. 3) Yesterdays leftover- make up. 4) Some white dirt on my black jeans. 5) The grey ”lesbian shirt”. Can’t get enough of it. 6) Drain opener. Needed to buy some. So I did.

The Occasion: Roller Derby practise. 1) This blue thing her ; an actual piece of actual sports wear! 2) Maybe I wore make up, maybe I didn’t. Can’t remember. 3) I’m freakishly comfortable in the hot pants. 4) A ladder in my tights. Of course. Well, good thing this is Roller Derby, not gymnastics. 5) This old djembe drum -back is where I keep my skates, helmet, a selection of tights, a mouth guard, and other essentials.  6) …Sooo… My panties are visible. Shit. Oh well. (A bit more prostitute-ish than I was aiming for…)

The Occasion: At the mail box. 1) Keys! Hooray for getting back in the apartment! 2) Prints on prints on …prints. 3) Wait. Am I wearing any underwear? No? Holy moley, I feel suddenly so naked! I bet all my neighbours have x-ray visions! 4) I love these pants, They are a part of me. I think a big part of me lives in them too. At least what comes to loose skin cells and stuff.

This whole thing reminds me somehow of those inserts in all these make over TV-shows, where they first introduce the poor thing who’s friends an family are sick of her looking like a normal person, and have sent her to the show to become prettier and that way a better and a happier human being.

So here’s the climax:

The Occasion: The Great Style Make Over -TV show. 1) A hairdo no one EVER asks from their hairdresser, but some unfortunate ones still get. 2) ”Throw away those glasses, they make you look like you red something at some point! Here, more fake lashes, they’ll help you to get rid of that stigma.” 3) ”Look, this is the RIGHT way to add some cute ‘rock’n roll’ to your outfits! Use accessories! Just look at this studded clutch, ain’t it FUN!” 4) The most boring dress I’ve ever seen.
