Style Icon: Hitler and Eva
The MidWasteland
Chicago's Street Style and Fashion Blog

I found this weird couple somewhere...

He kept forcing me to take pictures of his "Hitler mustache" and I'm pretty sure she kept hinting for me to take noodz of her in the bathroom.

I secretly liked her 90's black-stonewash jumper (c'mon you know you had one too!) with the candy striper top. Kinda girly, kinda quirky and maybe a little slutty all at the same time.

All that Glitters is Gold..
Lollapalooza Festival
August 3rd - 5th 2007

If you know me, you know that I dubbed this Summer, Gold Summer 2k7.

Don't worry, I haven't been running around in a gold lame body suit but I do add a touch of gold, i.e.- shoe or accessory, to most of my outfits.

During the Lollapalooza events this weekend I spotted three examples that anyone can apply to their wardrobe.

A gold belt with grommets or studs adds instant rock star appeal to an otherwise basic outfit.

"Chanel Inspired" shoulder bag in gold adds instant class.
SIDE NOTE: I just bought five of these quilted bags in different colors for Fall!

Lady of the Night.
Lollapalooza Festival
August 3rd-5th, 2007

Lady Starlight, aptly named after a Scorpions song, is the DJ/Go Go Dancer for up and coming pop goddess Lady GaGa.

Her emittance of 80's glam attitude and grand display of coquettish underpinnings allow Lady Starlight to teeter on the edge of hot mess and hottest woman I've ever seen.

Hats Off..

Hats are one of the biggest trends this summer, from bowlers to fedoras and everything in between.

Buckle-ing under pressure...
Lollapalooza Festival
August 3rd - 5th, 2007

Three guys, three totally different styles, all looking awesome with
their super cool belt buckles.

Jed from Small Town Talk

Jed has mastered hippie chic right down to the smallest details.
I had to take several shots of Jed to show the depth of his outfit.

Hal Horowitz

It was Hal's Woody Allen t shirt that first caught my attention
then I noticed his less than masculine belt buckle.
It looked like a little piece of fine china.
He proudly told me that the belt was his mom's in the 70's.
How cute is that?

I'm a sucker for religious paraphernalia (on other people).
The belt buckle was hot and the rosaries pulled the theme together.
I could never wear a rosary due to the shear fear of Catholic school flashbacks.

Gimme the Good Stuff!
Lollapalooza Festival
August 3rd. - 5th, 2007

This past weekend, August 3rd through 5th, was the 3rd annual Lollapalooza music festival held in Chicago, IL.
Acts ranged from alternative legends, Pearl Jam and Silverchair to indie dance dilettantes, The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem. Hometown heroes Flosstradamus, The Cool Kids, Wax On Radio and DJ Matt Roan
were also on the roster representing the Chi.

When the artists weren't playing or rocking out to their favorite bands they were relaxing in the CK IN2U Music Lounge at The Hard Rock Hotel. The Lounge was a "VIP + Artist retreat" that offered guests food & drink, a place to unwind and room full of SCHWAG!

Sponsors included:

CK IN2U Fragrances-


The CK IN2U his and hers fragrances smell AMAZING.
Unfortunately, they received more buzz for their marketing than their scents.

The bottles were inspired by iPODS and targeted toward the 20 something "technosexual generation".
a.k.a - the Myspace whore and Sidekick addict in all of us.

The Calvin Klein "Naked" collection-

Say goodbye to your Hanky Pankys and cheap ass 'Forever 21' underwear.
The super nice gals at the CK booth gave me 3 pairs of the nearly seamless panties and guaranteed satisfaction.
I didn't believe them at first but
I was totally converted when I wore them under a dress that same night and sure enough, NO PANTY LINES.

PF Flyers Shoes-

PF Flyers aren't just for boys anymore. Yayyy!
The brand, best known for their men's high tops, has decided to include the addition of a ladies division.
Women will have a wide array of comfortable flats and stylish athletic shoes to choose from.
I was given a pair of the 'Lo Fi' in red chenille tweed.
Sooo cute! Kinda makes me wish it was fall already.


KY "Intrigue"

KY came to the event armed with chocolate covered strawberries and 'pleasure packs' for all.
The 'pleasure pack' included two(2) scented candles and a nice big bottle of lube.
Honestly, it was one stop NOBODY missed.

Skullcandy Headphones

As much as I love music and of course, fashion, I still haven't bought into the whole "fashion forward" ipod case/headphone/accessory thing.
Skullcandy, the brand on the forefront of that market, is working hard to turn people like me to the dark side.
I spotted a pair of
sleek, black and gold headphones that any fashionista would love but I'm still not entirely convinced.

1 year supply of Cafe Bustelo coffee

All my life I have seen my Abuelita drink Cafe Bustelo like it was going out of style.
She was onto something special.
This coffee is THE BEST, I was hooked after one can .
"Bustelo Cool" + Vodka = Highly recommended.
I think Abuelita would be proud.


Custom Airbrushing

The very talented airbrush artist, T-Zar worked his magic on
hundreds of CK IN2U t shirts. He did pictures of bunnies, bubble letters,
hearts and the like. When my turn came, T-Zar made an exception for my lil' draws...Aren't they cute!

Tattoos

Last but certainly not least was the on site tattoo station.
People could get anything their hearts desired, thanks to Tony and Cody.
I think the best tattoo I witnessed a guy getting was the word, "Tramp Stamp", on his lower back.
