Thin pins

On the day: 
19/12/2012 

On the way: 
Those are skinny legs, them, stretching from blocky black brothelcreepers with thick soles and two-tone leopard-print uppers,  all the way up to jeans torn off at the crotch. It's a mercy that the wind isn't blowing too hard this evening or they might snap. 
But no, it's just cold. And wet. Cold and wet. So black stockings, a thigh-length black coat, and a black beanie worn tall like the hat on an eighth dwarf or on Dappy out of N-Dubz (which is pretty-much the same fing, yeh), have their work cut out for them. 
It's a carefully constructed look - all poppy-eyes with Amy Winehouse eyeliner, long, straight blonde hair and chipped coral fingernails - and one that is sure to grab the attention of pallid twilit youths, Tim Burton toon . 
Or Gollum. 

On the pod:
