DON'T PARTY FRIDAY WHEN YOU WORK ON SATURDAY

I'M TOTALLY BUSTED TODAY. I WENT TO MY REALLY GOOD FRIEND GEORGIA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY LAST NIGHT, WHICH WAS A BLAST, BUT AM WORKING ALL DAY AND TONIGHT TOO. I'M GOING TO POST PICTURES FROM THE PARTY TOMORROW AS I LAY IN BED ALL DAY DOING NOTHING BUT EATING. SO STAY TUNED. IN THE MEANTIME, I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM GOING TO WEAR MY NEW LEATHER DRESS TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME (I KNOW, I STILL NEED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT). AND I ALSO WANT YOU TO LOOK AT THE GREATNESS THAT IS THE WORK OF PAOLO ROVERSI.




I WANT THIS

LEATHER LEOTARD AND MUSTANG CONVERTABLE. MY BIRTHDAY IS IN A MONTH.

TODAY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY LAURA BRANIGAN

I COULD DANCE TO THIS SONG 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK. IN FACT, THERE WERE ABOUT 3 WEEKS LAST AUGUST WHERE I DID EXACTLY THAT. I ALSO MADE MY DJ FRIEND PLAY IT EVERYTIME I WENT TO SEE HIM, THEREBY MAKING ABOUT 100 OTHER PEOPLE DANCE TO IT TOO. THAT AND MANIAC FROM THE MOVIE FLASHDANCE. BUT WE'LL SAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER DAY.

SOME MORE SOFIA SANCHEZ & MAURO MONGIELLO BECAUSE IT'S THAT KIND OF DAY

LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. WHY AM I SUCH A SUCKER FOR THIS KIND OF OVER THE TOP RIDICULOUSNESS? I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF WHEN I SAY THAT I HATE THE ART OF SUBTLETY. WHO NEEDS IT? WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS IS CANDY-COLORED WIGS, AND GIGANTIC FLOWER HEADPIECES, AND PIRATE HATS. PHOTOS BY SOFIA SANCHEZ & MAURO MONGIELLO FOR THIS MONTH'S NUMERO.










SPEAKING OF COUTURE...

GAULTIER SPRING 2010

THESE ARE SOME (I.E. THE ONES I LIKE) OF THE LOOKS FROM JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER'S SPRING 2010 COLLECTION THAT WAS JUST SHOWN IN PARIS. MY FAVORITE IS THE PEACH LEOTARDY ONE WITH THE HIGH WHITE BOOTS. SHE LOOKS LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN A VENETIAN COURTESAN AND A SHE-RA DOLL. I ALSO LOVE THE TWO BLACK AND WHITE THATCHY NUMBERS. I'D WEAR ANY OF THESE IN A SECOND.









HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOLFIE

TODAY MARKS THE DATE OF WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART'S BIRTH. WHEN I WAS A KID, I WAS COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH THE MOVIE AMADEUS AND SAW IT 23 TIMES (I COUNTED). FURTHERMORE, I WAS MADLY, PASSIONATELY IN LOVE WITH TOM HULCE. IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME RECENTLY THAT, IN A WAY, SEEING AS MOZART WAS MY FIRST REAL CRUSH, HE IS ACTUALLY THE BASIS FOR ALL OF MY ATTRACTIONS, AND THE ARCHETYPE FOR ALL OF MY RELATIONSHIPS. WHICH IS SO TRUE! I DO LOVE HEAVY-DRINKING, WOMANIZING GENIUSES! OF COURSE THE ONE FLAW WITH THIS THEORY IS THAT SOMEHOW SOMEONE ALWAYS FORGETS TO LEAD ME TO THE ONE'S THAT HAVE THAT GENIUS TRAIT TOO. ON THAT NOTE, TODAY IS ALSO ONE OF MY EX'S BIRTHDAYS. CHEERS! BUT I DIGRESS. I'VE PUT A GREAT MONTAGE FROM THE FILM BELOW, GOD I WISH I COULD'VE FOUND THE NIPPLES OF VENUS SCENE. BUT ALAS. SO HERE'S TO ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPOSERS TO EVER LIVE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!



I WANT TO BE HER RIGHT NOW


SARAH MOON

I JUST DISCOVERED PARIS-BASED PHOTOGRAPHER SARAH MOON. CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE ARE NEW PHOTOGRAPHS? USUALLY I FIND FAKE OLD PHOTOS CHEESY (IN A BAD WAY), BUT I ACTUALLY DIG THESE. I LIKE THE JAPONISM OF THEM AND THE LANKY AND ANGULAR DARK SILOUETTES. THEY MAKE ME WANT TO CUT MY HAIR SHORT AND BE A MODERN WOMAN. JUST KIDDING, I STILL WANT LONG HAIR AND TO LIVE A LIFE OF LEISURE.
