le chateau

Canadian chain store, based in Montreal. Sells extremely overpriced "classy"-looking clothes (a lot of business suits and the like). Preppy crap is in the front; goth/punk/weird stuff is in the back. They also sell shoes and some nice jewelry (collars, cuffs, fake pearls). Their problem is the ridiculously high prices: for example, a pretty crappily made corset top costs $40 there. I got pretty much the same top at Urban Planet for $20.

Le Chateau is a good store, but they need to lower their prices, so that more people could buy there, and get more weird clothes, as opposed to prep crap.

wedges

A type of shoe, with a round toe and thicker platform sole in the front that narrows towards the back. Wedges have no actual "heel". They look cool if you want to look more "mainstream" but do not actually want to buy spike heels.

I have black leather wedge sandals with a 4.5 inch sole. They felt very uncomfortable at first because I had never worn a wedge heel before, but now they feel fine.

with teeth

New NIN album, which will come out May 3, 2005. The album will include 12 hard songs, rumored to be like "12 punches to the face." Supposedly, there won't be any chords on the album, although that is doubtful, and sadly, this time, there won't be any instrumentals. It's also more lyric-based (less atmospheric) than The Fragile..and more angry, too!
The release of With Teeth will be followed by the best day of my life - seeing Trent live for the first time with the hottest man in the world by my side, and then........sky is the limit ;-)

I cannot wait for the release of With Teeth. Trent Reznor will not disappoint us again.

nas

Pure and simple, the Trent Reznor of hip-hop.
Can go from gritty gangsta to poppy party tracks to vitriolic tirades against the American government and sound absolutely genuine while doing it.
The best lyricist in hip-hop at the moment.

-You rep me respectfully, that's how I rep for you
-Vote for who now? You're red, white and blue? I'm American too, but I ain't with the president's crew!
-Many tried, many died, come at Nas if you want a war, get it bloody....I got mine, I hope you got yourself a gun.
-I'm the leader, thats it, nobody higher Nobody touchin my crown, nobody dyin Nobody smoother, harder, tougher, believe it I'm much smarter, much more strategic.

49th street

49th Street is a street in the Times Square neighborhood of downtown New York. It has now been cleaned up, but back in the 1970s, it was quite a messed up neighborhood. The corner of 49th street and 8th Avenue was known for its many porn theaters, which showed the iconic 1972 movie Deep Throat, among others.
I have a style of outfits which I call "CBGBs crossed with 49th Street." It's basically Blondie-punk-style outfits but with the tops a little tighter or cut a little lower, and the skirts are quite short. Some of the great combinations they include are silver platform shoes and fishnet ponchos with long lace-and-satin tank tops and punk rock dog collars and spiked cuffs. It's my tribute to the "I don't give a fuck and I express my sexuality however I want to" spirit of that era. It does NOT = "looking like a porn star" (that'd be one conservative porn star!). It = being sexy on my own terms.
When I use "49th Street" as an adjective, I mean "bad-ass, hardcore, rebellious, defiant".

Today, I wore a black pin-striped mini-skirt, a black asymmetric top with see-thru slit sleeves, fishnets with silver platforms, and a leather collar with chains. That was a pure 49th Street look.

Me- "I like to dress like I'm from 1970s NYC sometimes"
Moron- "Oh, you mean like 5th Ave with all the designers and stuff?"
Me- "No, I mean like 49th Street, that whole punk and porn explosion"
Moron- *runs*

God, I love that song...so raw, so 49th Street.

double wrapped scarf

A way of wearing a scarf around your neck...put it around your neck, then take one of the halves, and wrap it around your neck again, so that you have 2 layers around your neck, and the scarf hangs down in 2 halves onto your chest. I like to wear my striped scarf double wrapped as part of my "hip-hop punk" look.

Many celebrities like wearing their scarves double-wrapped, but many of them are sad little pop stars.

candlelight dinner

The mainstream's materialistic expression of what they call "love". People waste literally hundreds of dollars, if not thousands, on the food, the alcohol, and the special clothes (apparently, it's not cool enough to wear a t-shirt and some pants or a top and pants/skirt..People who take part in candlelight dinners must wear a suit or a dress). These are usually followed by sexual favors afterwards. To me, the whole thing is too much like prostitution. What else would you call sex for material objects, such as food?
Finally, you won't see me at one of those..ever.

Brandon and his whore were having a candlelight dinner, to be followed by a night of "romantic" pseudo-sex and calling each "snookums" in idiotic voices.
