Well, it's back to the old grind. What grind Naomi? You ask? The 2016 North American International Auto Show that's what! The North American International Auto show - or Detroit Auto show as it used to be called - is the intrinsic essence of Detroit. That's what made this city great: cars. I can remember as a little girl, Daddy taking my little bro and I to the show, and it was so interesting. More so for my little brother than I, yet, still, all of the people, the cars, those fancy expensive cars! It's those expensive cars that get the crowds in, not the Mazda Miatas or Toyota Celicas. Maybe you reached this post by way of my Google+ post, if you did you got a big hint. What I'm writing about today are the cars that almost no one can afford and that almost no one buys. Yet, those are the cars that get the most attention at the show; take it from me; I've been there. So what's that got to do with fashion, Naomi? You ask? Well, think of them as accessories, very expensive accessories.
Now, the first car on the list has got to be this one:
The VLF Force 745HP. Surprisingly ugly for its price tag, yet it garnered the most attention. If it was black, I'd guess it was a witch's ride. Never heard of VLF before seeing it at the show. Next up:
The Ford GT40. What was Ford thinking by re-resurrecting this monstrosity? Got lots of attention, though. I would assume that most people inspecting it are deficient financially to afford it. Now, a different take on the daily driver and it's still expensive:
An environmentally friendly concept car from Nissan. Very few were interested in this car, which explains why I'll be a grandmother when the first solar car hits the bricks. Who can blame the anxious consumer when the price tag of these things is well beyond the reach of most of them. Back to the unaffordable gas guzzlers:
Mazda's Le Mans SCCA, or whatever they race it in, race car. I would suppose you need a race team to get one of these as it hardly seems street legal. Got a lot of attention, though.
Speaking of racing, who would have thunk it? Toyota has a Funny Car! Reminds me of my ex's, which by the way is partially mine, though he can drive his on the street. Not sure if this Toyota is any faster; couldn't find out what they have under the hood.
Of course you've got your Corvettes. Might be one of the reasons Chevy went down the tubes temporarily. The bottom photo shows the great interest this car is garnering. Often, I'd over hear people bemoaning the price tag, and how the object of their desire would be so much better off in their hands.
Vipers. Chrysler is resistant to change, their price tags? Not so much. Basically the same thing from 10 years ago at twice the price.
To round things out, here's something that wasn't at the auto show, but would fit right in:
A Sponge Bob Square Pants Toyota! Yuck! Worst cartoon ever! The car, on the other hand, looks adorable. Since it's in Texas I didn't inspect it personally though from the photos it looks like they did a good job.
Well, that's all from the North American Auto Show for now, your intrepid auto reporter Naomi is about to sign off. Before I go, I should mention something about the boots in my Google+ post:
Beautiful PU boots with ginormous 5 and 1/2" stiletto heels. They look a ta bit like these:
But no, they are different. Sometimes you can't get enough of the same thing, just slightly different.
Well, this is really it:
Catchya later.
Ciao.

So I have these boots:
They're Picadilly Circus boots. That's the name of the brand. Picadilly Circus is a place in London England that hippies during the '60's used to hang out at - that, I think you do know. So I've got one of my boots in my hand right now, as I'm writing this, and looking it over, I'm thinking, these boots are way too snazzy for the sixties. Nobody wore boots like these in the sixties, not even the poser hippies, wanna be hippies, or even people in the entertainment business, there's just too much of a wow factor going on here. I guess Picadilly Circus is meant to mean something else. Anyway, I was thinking a while back, what can I do with these spectacular beauties? Then it struck me, Black Friday, how to wear these gorgeous babies. I went to bed very early because mom, my little brother and I were going to hit the malls unbelievably early to get some of the bargains, then back home for more shopping online. Black Friday should be considered an extension of Chanukah because it's just so darn convenient for Chanukah gift shopping. Chanukah isn't a Jewish Christmas; it's a Jewish super Christmas. On the other hand, both Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a little early for the hesitant types, but who's counting.
Guess what I wore for Black Friday shopping? I've already given you a hint as to the foot wear, and if you read my Google+ post you'd get a further hint, still can't figure it out? Well, here it is - drum roll please, and now to let the shoe, I mean boot, fall (it did fall, it's hard to type and hold a boot at the same time):
Ta da! I call this look "slick gypsy" - it's a just a slickened gypsy style. When my little brother heard me on the phone talking to Buddy and I mentioned "slick gypsy" he told me that would be a good name for his band - slick gypsy - I mean, come on! Little brothers can be so stupid some times.
When people think of gypsies they think: crystal balls, palm readings in dark places, head scarves - hey, wait a minute! I'm wearing a head scarf! Yep, had to give in to convention a wee bit. The norm for the gypsy look seems to have fallen into a holding pattern that's a combo of grunge and regular old boho. Frankly, the look has gotten completely stale in my opinion: the same colors, same dresses, jewelry, boots, everything's the same. I have a board on Pinterest titled: Gypsy Queen Romanian style, and I'd say my look is my interpretation of how a gypsy queen or princess - if there is such a thing - would dress. It's not just the jewelry and head scarf that makes the look. The loose, chiffon, colored blouse, the short, circular applique, jacket - love it by the way! - and the black, alligator bell bottoms - which don't seem to be real alligator in spite of their price, because if you look very close you can see the scales were stitched on, and I don't think God stitches the scales on alligators ( you've got to be prepared for over priced stuff nowadays) - anyway, all of that stuff, along with the flashy Picadilly Circus boots, gives the whole look a mysterious edge to it; it brings out the Romanian side of me.
Now, a bit about my face: using the Covergirl stuff: blast flipstick "Tease", with Shineblast gloss "Heat" and Lip perfection lip liner "Beloved" on my lips;
Exact Eyelights eye brightening eye shadow "Vivid Green", Bombshell intensity "Chocolate Kiss" eyeliner,
Flamed up mega curl mascara "very black blaze" on my eyes - can't see them too well; sunglasses you know - foundation and concealer, both Covergirl, nothing special there; and finally, Cheekers blush "Plumberry glow."
You're probably dying to ask me at this point: "Naomi, how can you go shopping in those boots, the heels look ginormous!" My answer, "Yep, tad on the high side, they still have a platform , and sometimes big heels can come in handy when you're shopping, you'd be surprised."
So there you have it, didn't get anything for Buddy at the mall, had to order something online through an auto parts store for him - woops! hope I didn't give anything away! Got my little brother a gift for Chanukah, no surprise now since Chanukah is over:
You might think it's a joke and he did a little too, though I wasn't kidding, I thought he'd look cute in it, sort of a bed time gift. Then again maybe it was the slick gypsy-band name comments that made me do it.
I suppose that's all for now. Come back again for more exciting fashion that you can get only here, at Naomi's Fashionable World.
You saw my Polyvore sets? Yep, back on Polyvore again; don't forget to like some of them, thanks!
Catchya later.

I've got an update for Chanukah day 6. Sure, it's day 7 already but finals and other stuff got in the way of posting. I'm back home in Detroit and I'm back at the family house after going to temple with mom and my little brother. Speaking of him, my little bro, if you've been reading my other posts you'll know I've had my eyes on a certain pair of boots, viz:
Well, I guess I've given it all away now. Yep, my little bro came through and got me a pair. Now, these boots weren't on my Chanukah wish list, it was these boots that were on the list:
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I blogged that much about the boots at the top. Anyway, my brother bought me the boots at the top, what a sweetheart. The last time I saw my brother, his piggy bank, which is shaped like a temple by the way, was so engorged it looked like it was going to erupt. So there's an extra sweet bonus that he spent all of his hard earned coin on me. Now, let's get to testing these babies out. First up, here's a photo of the boots by their lonesome:
They certainly add some pizzaz to my college dorm room floor. Can't tell much about them from here, so here's another shot of me holding them:
They look pretty tall but it's mostly the heels, next, check out the stretch in these babies:
Woooh! Stretchy! They must be the stretchiest boots I've got. Very nice PU on these boots, none of that cheap stuff. Well, I guess I'm going to have to wear them to get an idea of what they're really all about:
Looking real good, I'd say. With the PU pants, leather jacket and fedora I got as Chanukah gifts too, I'd have to qualify this look as 100% slick. Yep, new PU pants and leather jacket. The pants are already a close fit and those PU boots just squeeze them down even more. Love the fedora, can always use one's in different sizes. Now, shifting gears a bit to the pants, but the boots are still going to be there, how do those tight PU pants fit around my bottom?
I'm very happy with the fit. The boots look good from behind too. I had to Skype with my brother to thank him and he came out to MSU the same day, what a dear heart, so I could give him my Chanukah gift for him, and thank you's. Maybe I shouldn't post this but we Skyped with daddy too, all three of us, it was so nice to at least Skype with him, wish I could be with him on Chanukah. So that's Chanukah day 6. I'm hoping to get Chanukah day 7 up today but what with all of the home Chanukah craziness and studying for finals, I can't promise anything. Hope your Chanukah is beautiful, bounteous, and joyous.
Catchya later.
