SALLY FROM HALLOWEEN TOWN
Happy Halloween tumblr friends. In the spirit of the holiday, I took a stab at styling Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. If I know tumblr like I think I do, you all know the story very well. Also, the first dress is scary similar to what Sally wears in the movie. Hope you all have fun tonight, I’m on candy duty at Casa Jannuzzi…mmm candy. 1. I am the wind blowing through your...

You just made my day. Forget Nietzsche, I'd much rather listen to you wax philosophical... in pictures. About literary figures. <3

sophistication-with-a-wink asked: You made me fall in love right at "What Would Holden Caulfield Wear". Thank you for existing.
Anonymous asked: Sorry for bugging, but I would love to see your stylings of Edmund and Susan Pevensie, especially Susan, the girl defected from Narnia for clothes and boys - no way she didn't have some kick-ass taste in threads.

SUSAN PEVENSIE, NARNIAN OR NOT
So, if you haven’t read the Chronicles of Narnia (the Chronic-WHAT?!-Cles of Narnia) you best get to steppin’ to your local library and read them. However, knowing my followers as I do, I’m sure you’re all quite familiar with at least one of the stories. Let’s talk about Susan, she was great in the beginning, alright in the middle but then she just forgets all about...

LANCOME & ST. JUDE
Hello Tumblr friends, Lancome has dubbed today “Genes Day” to celebrate scientific research. Lancome will be donating $7.00 to St. Jude for every bottle of Genefique sold at their counters and on their website. All the info can be found on their facebook page. It’s a great cause. My father is a pediatrician and we do love to support organizations like St. Jude to see that...

ELIZA, MY FAIR LADY
Everybody knows the story of My Fair Lady. Two bored aristocrats happen upon a girl who might be a little down on her luck but because of the grit of the street they can’t see how pretty she is. They decide to take her under their wing as some kind of game or sport. A few scenes later they throw her in a nice dress and suddenly they fall in love because she’s beautiful. Rags to...

PAMELA ISLEY A.K.A. POISON IVY
Quite suprisingly, I got a lot of requests for Poison Ivy. Anyway, here she is…the Venus Flytrap of Gotham City and general hobag! Many of you will know that she was once a friendly scientist but was then transformed into Uma Thurman to wreak havoc on the poor citizens of Gotham. Luckily for us, Batman, Robin and Alicia Silverstone (for some generations) were there to save the day. Although,...

TINK, FIREFLY FROM HELL
Everybody knows Tink, she’s the loveable, somewhat sarcastic and overall bitchy fairy from Peter Pan. Like most people unable to express themselves, Tink becomes wildly jealous when Peter starts paying Wendy attention. Shocking. Anyway, she also is the one who allows Peter and his cronies to fly with her magic pixie dust. There’s not much else to say because as I...

UNDINE
AHOY! Below is an e-mail I got from a reader/friend yesterday. I laughed, so it’s the subject of today’s post. p.s. e-mails are always welcome (john.jannuzzi@gmail.com) ———————————————— Was just reading your textbook post on the Little Mermaid, and thought you should look at Undine...

Anonymous asked: Do you love working at Starworks because it almost sounds like Star Wars?
Anonymous asked: Can it get incredibly boring sitting and cutting stuff out all day? Dose it make you want to kill someone at the end of the day?
IF YOU WANT
You can ask me any old question.

THE REAL LITTLE MERMAID
So…we all know the Disney version of The Little Mermaid but I find the original version much more interesting. Actually, when it comes to fairy tales, the original is almost always better and way weirder. Anywho, the Disney version veers off after Ariel (if that is her real name) rescues the prince. The traditional telling has her drop him off at a temple until a girl comes and finds him....

TITANIA (AGAIN)
I know I posted Titania quite recently, but Spring is so much more appropriate for this bitch. As any American high school student knows, Titania was the fairy queen from Will Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The play focuses on four Athenians wandering the forest and in true Shakespeare style is riddled with mistaken identities and humor. Titania is battling her husband...

bonerdisco asked: I'm personally ecstatic that tumblr got its shit together for you, because I don't think my dashboard would be worth anything without your character posts.
TUMBLR, I LOVE YOU SO.
You’ve all seen my rants against tumblr and it’s issues as of late. Well, tonight I got an e-mail from David Karp, the CEO of tumblr. He addressed and fixed all my issues. Tumblr, I fucking love you. Whatever thoughts I had of leaving are now erased. May have sent a somewhat tipsy reply back, such is life.
ONE MORE THING
You can also leave regular comments now, I set up that whole disqus thing. Keep it rated NC-17 or below, thanks.

ALICE IS WONDERLAND
Alice was actually one of the first posts I ever put up. Can you blame me? I won’t bore you guys with all the details because everybody knows the story. Also, and I’ve said this before, everybody in art school or fashion school uses this story as inspiration at some point. Anyways, y’all enjoy Alice. 1.

CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANGES
Hello all. So last week I asked all my followers if I should start a separate blog to keep all my random thoughts. There was mixed feedback, but I decided to go ahead and start a new one. Textbook was getting too cluttered with things that didn’t have anything to do with fashion and I feel like most of my followers are here for that. In the process, I also totally redesigned Textbook so be...
