Today is travel day! I'm UK bound for the ballet. I can't wait! I decided to go with a Wonderland theme this time, including this new dress: a Gothic take on Alice in Wonderland.

Going to a drag show after work tonight, so I decided to wear my cute new pinup dress. This is my first time ever wearing a pinup dress. I tend to avoid them because I'm not a very busty gal.

Well the tour was a bit disappointing. It was heavy on the ghost stories (which I don't believe in) and it seems like most of the tour didn't either. However there was a really sweet freebie table, so I got a lot of cool stuff!

My relatively simple look for the Hull House tour tonight. I do love a mesh cutout on a dress. Obviously I have one of my ballet pendants and my guillotine necklace. I couldn't resist wearing that one 😊

Ooooooh!!!! I've always wanted to tour Hull House. As a working class gal myself, it's such an important part of working class history and it has such a rich history as well 😃

Lauren Jankowski @laurenjankowski.bsky.social · 2d

I'm going on a tour of Hull House tonight (and I look fabulous), which is a historical place in Chicago. The house was founded to provide social and educational opportunities for working class people, especially immigrants and women. I'm really looking forward to learning about it 😁

Every time I think I have a minute to take a break, nope! 😅

Sorry for the radio silence. I'm racing to finish book six and I'm leaving for London (and the ballet! I can't believe I'm actually going to see Like Water for Chocolate) on Sunday. I'm seriously just all over the place, stressing.

OMG, whenever I see one of these it makes me even more excited to get mine 😃

My personal revenge dress.

This is for everyone who tried to make me feel small, who tried to dim my light, who judged me for being proud of being part of the working class.

Watch me shine even brighter.

I'm going to write more this weekend about "Blood and Puppets" but I enjoyed it immensely. I got to hang out with some awesome artists and I held a cute bat puppet named Ginger. Halloween season continues to be a blast!

Lauren Jankowski @laurenjankowski.bsky.social · 9d

Surprisingly comfortable*

Lauren Jankowski @laurenjankowski.bsky.social · 9d

Thank you! It's a surprisingly common dress 😁

Lauren Jankowski @laurenjankowski.bsky.social · 9d

My look for the "Blood & Puppets" Opening Night show and after party. The theme is blood and attendees are being encouraged to wear red. I'm super excited. Apparently, after the show, a puppet is going to escort us to the party location. This is the kind of weird shit I live for 😁

Monthly Guaranteed Basic Income Benefit union meeting tonight. We recently achieved a massive victory and we're going to keep going.

Organizing works.

My fit for today. Part of my new wardrobe. I absolutely love the design and silhouette of this dress.

Lauren Jankowski @laurenjankowski.bsky.social · 10d

I hope all sex workers have a really good day.

And I hope all immigrants have a good day (regardless of whatever meaningless papers they have or don't have. Borders don't really exist and were invented by white supremacists to reinforce capitalist power structures)

Fuuuuuuuuck, I just realized the fucking Chicago Marathon is Sunday. I'm seeing a play that afternoon 🤦‍♀️ That's going to be such a pain in the ass to navigate (and I've got a fire dress to wear too)

Lauren Jankowski @laurenjankowski.bsky.social · 12d

I wish I had a ferroniere

Lauren Jankowski @laurenjankowski.bsky.social · 12d

I'm experiencing ALL the technical difficulties at my side hustle tonight. 😢 OMG, whyyyyyyyyyy

Lauren Jankowski @laurenjankowski.bsky.social · 12d

Wearing a bit of my new wardrobe today. I'm leaning into the dark academia/literary aesthetic. There are a ton of pieces that reference Alice in Wonderland (including this) because I feel like I have been drifting through a very dark version of Wonderland the past few years.

Got my flu and COVID vaccines! Yay science!

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Oh hell yeah! That sounds freaking awesome 😃

Halloween adventures schedule change! I'm going to an opening night party of the Blood and Puppets show on Friday where I'll have the chance to get a BTS look at the show and meet the artists.

The drag and burlesque show will be next Saturday 😁 #Halloween
