darling readers:
in typical rockstar fashion, my computer lived life too close to the edge and crashed. while it undergoes rehab, let's take a moment to reflect back on more innocent times -- a time when WHORANGE was only one-month old.
so, put on your spandex, turn up the 8-track, and let's get busy to our favorite rock ballad as we flashback to march 25, 2008...
dear whorange:
i need help. after reacquainting myself with the cinema verite masterpiece HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT, i have realized that i must own this shirt. i need it like crack needs cocaine. i would say i need the entire ensemble, but let's not get crazy.
so miss whorange, where do i point my browser or direct my skinny legs to find myself something so desirable? i put you on the case.
yours in judas priest,
-- laine
darling laine,
the need to emulate a screen idol is perfectly natural and highly encouraged at WHORANGE. so, prepare to get your tailgating catwalk on, because i found the entire ensemble for you.
the shirt hails from a cheerleader & spirit gear shop and comes in prints of cheetah, tiger, white zebra, and pink zebra. order one size smaller for a snug fit. cut with scissors. take a shot beforehand for best results. the leggings are american apparel. the belt is slash n' burn.
and, if you enjoy these choices, may i also suggest for your home...
above clockwise from left: venfield zebra chair (7250.00); dan yeffet hanging lights (3500.00); neiman marcus edible handbag cake (235.00); hand painted zebra martini glasses (70.00); zebra devil duckie (8.50); caboots hair-on cowhide cowboy boots 560.00.
questions, queries, or dilemmas? drop me a line at [email protected]. if you begin your email with "dear WHORANGE., your hair looks fantastic today," you may receive a speedier reply.

Bummer about your computer. Mine lived like a rockstar, too. That's to Apple Care it's back on track.
I just discovered your site through a friend "who is obsessed". I can see why! Love all of the vintage imagery mixed with the modern day shopping and design tips.

I want the head-to-toe outfit and the home décor. If that doesn't get me backstage to Judas Priest I don't know what will.

Love it - especially as I JUST bought a zebra-print cowl-neck tee from Express.

Sal, I hope you bought the spandex tights and cowboy boots to go with it! You're soooo getting backstage passes...

Put it altogether and you've got Whorange! Love the cake purse.

Diggin' all that zebra print! :)

The unique stripes and behaviors of zebras make these among the animals most familiar to people. They can be found in a variety of habitats, such as grasslands, savannas, woodlands, thorny scrublands, mountains and coastal hills.
