I'M DIGGING THIS GIRL'S HAIR. I'M NOT USUALLY THAT INTO COLORED HAIR, BUT THIS IS PRETTY SEXY AND SOPHISTICATED. I LOVE HOW HER NATURALLY AUBURN HAIR FLAMES UP INTO RED AND ORANGE. LOOKS GREAT WITH HER WAVES AND PALE SKIN.

I AM OBSESSED WITH BRITISH LEATHER DESIGN HOUSE FLEET ILYA, WHICH USES TRADITIONAL SADDLE-MAKING TECHNIQUES TO PRODUCE THESE AMAZING, SCULPTURAL LEATHER ACCESSORIES THAT BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN FASHION AND BONDAGE (OK, THIS PARTICULAR PIECE IS FROM THEIR RESTRAINT COLLECTION, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH NOT BLURRING ANYTHING. IT IS WHAT IT IS). BUT JESUS, HOW BEAUTIFUL WOULD THIS BE OVER A DRESS? CHECK OUT ALL OF THEIR PIECES (THEY ALSO MAKE MORE SIMPLE CORSET BELTS AS WELL AS BAGS) HERE.

THE LIGHT UP THERE WAS INCREDIBLE, AND THE GRAMERCY IS SO LUXURIOUS. IT FELT LIKE WE STEPPED OUT OF REALITY FOR AWHILE. SO LOVELY.

AWHILE AGO BUSHMILLS HAD A PARTY AT MY WORK, HOTEL CHANTELLE, AND I JUST FOUND THIS PICTURE OF ME AND SANTI. I DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT BUSHMILLS, BUT IT WAS A FUN PARTY. THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL BEARDED MAN THERE THAT SOMEONE MISINFORMED ME WAS ONE OF THE MAST BROTHERS. I NEARLY WET MY WANTS AT THE THOUGHT OF A BEAUTIFUL MAN WITH A CHOCOLATE FACTORY STANDING BEFORE ME FOR THE TAKING. BUT ALAS, HE WAS NOT A MAST. NO FACTORY.

ANYWAY, I'M A BIG FAN OF CAMERAS THAT OVEREXPOSE IMAGES TO THE POINT OF PERFECTION LIKE THIS ONE. I WISH THE WHOLE WORLD SAW ME AS OVEREXPOSED. AND, NO, I'M NOT HAVING SANTI'S BABY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SHE'S HOLDING MY STOMACH.

EPIC SUNDAY

2011-03-29T17:59:00.002-04:00

ON SUNDAY AT ABOUT 1PM I MET UP WITH SEAN FOR BRUNCH. THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN AROUND 3AM. IS THIS STILL TECHNICALLY A BRUNCH MEETING? OY, I SHOULD'VE SHOWERED.

ANYWAY, AFTER BRUNCH AT IRIS CAFE, I BOUGHT AN AMAZING PAIR OF HEELED MOTORCYCLE BOOTS BY DOLCE VITA. THEN WE GOT ON THE F TRAIN AND MET MIKEY, AND VISITED PROJECT 8, A MEN'S STORE ON ORCHARD AND HESTER STREETS. I DIDN'T SEE MUCH IN THE STORE CAUSE I WAS ON THE PHONE THE WHOLE TIME. FOR SHAME! THEN WE CHECKED OUT THE WOMEN'S STORE DOWN THE STREET ON DIVISION. IT WAS OK. THERE WAS A SILLY BAG THERE THAT MIKEY WANTED, BUT HE'S GONNA MAKE HIS OWN (FOR LESS THAN $400). THE SALES GUY (WHO WAS WEARING SEE-THROUGH PANTS EWW) ACTUALLY SAID "IT'S NOT THAT PRACTICAL. OR COMFORTABLE." AWESOME. WHO DO I WRITE THE CHECK TO?

THEN WE GOT $3 HAPPY HOUR SUSHI AT JIN ON BROOME STREET. THE SUSHI IS ONLY FINE, BUT THE PRICES ARE GREAT. THIS WAS ALL FOLLOWED BY GOING TO 151 TO HANG OUT WITH MIKEY'S FRIEND WHO WAS BARTENDING, AND THEN ST JEROME'S NEXT DOOR FOR KELLE CALCO'S SUNDAY PARTY. SOPHIA LAMAR AS WELL AS LOTS OF OTHER FRIENDS WERE THERE TOO. WE LEFT AT 4. OY.

P.S. OH, I FORGOT SOMEWHERE IN THERE I ATE A BABYCAKES PUMPKIN BREAD. SO DAMN GOOD.

2011-03-09T14:34:00.003-05:00

THE OTHER NIGHT I GOT THIS CRAVING TO WATCH THE MOVIE "NE DIT PERSONNE," OR "TELL NO ONE." SOMEHOW I FIND ALL FRENCH FILMS WHIMSICAL AND ROMANTIC, EVEN IF THEY'RE THRILLERS ABOUT MURDER AND TORTURE. GO FIGURE. BUT THEN I ALSO THINK OF THE FILM "MUNICH" AS BEING A TRAVEL FILM. I TOTALLY FORGET THE TERRORISM AND ASSASSINATIONS AND JUST REMEMBER ALL THE CITIES THEY TRAVEL TO, AND THAT OUTDOOR DINNER SCENE AT THE LONG TABLE IN PROVENCE. THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

ANYWAY, THE DIRECTOR OF "NE DIT PERSONNE" IS GAILLAUME CANET, AKA ONE OF THE SEXIEST MEN EVER, AKA THE BOYFRIEND OF ONE OF THE SEXIEST WOMEN EVER. I FOUND THIS INTERVIEW WITH GUILLAUME CANET AND MARION COTILLARD PROMOTING "JEUX D'ENFANTS", OR "LOVE ME IF YOU DARE," THE FILM DURING WHICH THEY MET AND FELL IN LOVE. THEY ARE SO ADORABLE IN THIS INTERVIEW!!!

I LOVE WHEN MEN'S EYES MAKE LITTLE SIDEWAYS HALF-MOONS WHEN THEY SMILE.

ART AND ABSINTHE

2011-03-03T09:33:00.005-05:00

LAST NIGHT MY DEAR FRIEND OLIVIA OF HIGH-RISE HOSTESS FAME INVITED ME TO THE OPENING OF THE 2011 ARMORY SHOW AT PIERS 92 & 94, AS WELL AS THE AFTER PARTY AT MoMA. I CHECKED OUT THE SHOW AROUND 7PM, AND REALLY ENJOYED WANDERING AROUND LOOKING AT ALL THE DIFFERENT BOOTHS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND LISTENING TO EVERYONE SPEAKING FRENCH, GERMAN, SPANISH, ETC. ISN'T IT AMAZING HOW YOU CAN TELL THE BRITISH ART DEALERS FROM THE SWISS, OR THE FRENCH, OR THE ONES FROM LOS ANGELES. PRETTY COOL, REALLY. I FELT LIKE I WAS ON A VACATION, OBSERVING AND LISTENING. IT GAVE ME SOME WANDERLUST. THE ART WAS OK, I TOOK SOME PICS OF A FEW THINGS I DUG. I MOSTLY LIKE PHOTOGRAPHY.

ELENI MET ME FOR THE AFTER PARTY AT MoMA AND TOLD ME A SECRET THAT I'M THRILLED ABOUT. I SAID I WASN'T GOING TO DRINK, BUT WITHIN 5 MINUTES I HAD WINE IN MY LEFT HAND AND ABSINTHE IN MY RIGHT. "NO, NO, NO ALCOHOL FOR ME THANK YOU.....OH WAIT...YOU HAVE ABSINTHE? OH YES I'LL TAKE A FEW OF THOSE." I'M HOPELESS. ANYWAY, IT WAS A LOVELY TIME, AND THE PARTY WAS DONE BEAUTIFULLY (WELL DONE OLIVIA). THERE WERE SOME CRAZY OUTFITS THOUGH. YIKES.

EXCUSE ME, BUT I THINK YOU HAVE A LITTLE LIPSTICK ON YOUR, ER, TEETH.

LAST NIGHT WAS OSCAR NIGHT, AND WHILE I PRETTY MUCH DIDN'T SEE A SINGLE MOVIE THIS YEAR, I STILL HAD A BLAST WATCHING THE DRESSES AND THE CRAZY SPEECHES. MOLLY AND NICO HAD US ALL OVER FOR CREPES - HAM, GRUYERE, SMOKED SALMON, CREME FRAICHE, MUSHROOMS, ONIONS AND THEN , BANANA, STRAWBERRIES, AND NUTELLA. DANA MADE ARTICHOKE DIP, AND SOMEONE BROUGHT CROP CUCUMBER VODKA, WHICH I DRANK ON THE ROCKS FOR HOURS. WHAT A LOVELY TIME WE HAD!

I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU MY CURRENT MUSICAL OBSESSION: BIG JET PLANE BY ANGUS AND JULIA STONE. I HAVE BEEN QUITE LITERALLY LISTENING TO IT ON LOOP IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I'M ALSO DEVELOPING A LITTLE CRUSH ON ANGUS. HE REMINDS ME OF THE DRUMMER GUY FROM THAT FRENCH FILM WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY. ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY I DIDN'T THINK THAT GUY WAS HOT, SO I DON'T KNOW. REGARDLESS, I'M DIGGING HIM AND THIS SONG BIG TIME.

FANTASTIC FRIDAY

2010-05-01T01:08:00.005-04:00

THIS AFTERNOON ADRIAN AND I HAD AN IMPROMPTU PERFECT DAY. THANK YOU SUMMER, THANK YOU BROOKLYN, THANK YOU IRREGULAR WORK SCHEDULE. WE STARTED WITH A LUNCH IN THE PARK ON CLINTON STREET - HUMMUS, BABAGANOUSH, PITA, GRAPE LEAVES, PICKLED CABBAGE SALAD, FALAFEL, AND AVOCADO WHICH I PICKED UP AT DAMASCUS ON ATLANTIC AVENUE. THERE WERE ABOUT TEN BILLION BABIES IN THE PARK. I EAVESDROPPED ON SOME OF THEIR CONVERSATIONS WITH EACH OTHER WERE BORING. SO WE GOT OUTTA THERE AND WALKED UP COLUMBIA STREET BY THE WATER TOWARD MECCA (AKA RED HOOK). THIS PARK OF BROOKLYN IS THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH. WE EVEN STUMBLED UPON A LITTLE SHOP WITH BEAUTIFUL LINGERIE FROM FRANCE MADE FOR EUROPEAN-SIZED BOOBS (AKA TEENY-TINY). THE WOMAN IN THE SHOP GAVE US EACH A GLASS OF CHILLED RED WINE (SO SO FRANCAIS). I BOUGHT ENOUGH BRAS AND UNDERWEAR THAT SHE COULDN'T SAY THE TOTAL OUT LOUD BUT JUST POINTED TO THE PAPER. NOT GOOD. WE KEPT WALKING AND FOUND A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY GARDEN AND A FLOWER NURSERY. THERE WAS A FAT CAT AT THE NURSERY THAT I MADE ADRIAN TAKE A PICTURE OF ME WITH BECAUSE I LOOKED FAT IN ALL THE OTHER PICTURES. LOW AND BEHOLD I LOOK PRETTY THIN NEXT TO THE FAT CAT. WHAT A DAY, WHAT A PERFECT DAY!!!

I SEE A FRINGED JACKET AND A REST STOP AND I'M ALL OVER IT. I THINK IT'S MY TALENT FOR ROMANTICIZING THE UNROMANTIC THAT HAS GOTTEN ME WHERE I AM TODAY. EH. SO WHAT, WHO CARES. DOESN'T LARA STONE LOOK LIKE FAYE DUNAWAY IN THESE? MAKES ME WANT TO WATCH LITTLE BIG MAN. AND BUY A LEOTARD WITH AN AMERICAN FLAG ON IT.

HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH

2010-04-25T10:02:00.005-04:00

YESTERDAY MORNING I WENT TO THE BROOKLYN FLEA, WHICH WAS AT ITS OUTSIDE LOCATION IN FORT GREENE FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SUMMER. IF THERE IS A PLACE IN THE WORLD THAT MAKES ME HAPPIER (BESIDES RED HOOK), I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS. IF I EVER MAKE IT TO HEAVEN, IT WILL BE A BIG OL' OUTDOOR FLEA MARKET IN THE SUMMERTIME. I BOUGHT A PAIR OF JEAN SHORTS FOR $5 AND ALSO A REALLY BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE DRESS FOR $5 TOO. I ALMOST BOUGHT A BLACK LEATHER SKIRT FOR $10, BUT DECIDED I HAVE ENOUGH LEATHER FOR NOW. I KNOW, PULL YOURSELF BACK ON YOUR CHAIR THE WORLD IS STILL SPINNING BELIEVE IT OR NOT. I ALWAYS FORGET HOW AMAZING ALL THE FOOD VENDORS ARE AT THE FLEA - LOBSTER ROLLS, PULLED PORK SANDWICHES, FRESH POPSICLES, TACOS, PUPUSAS, PASTRIES - AND EAT BEFORE I GET THERE. FAIL. AND THIS TIME THEY ACTUALLY HAD A LOX AND BAGEL VENDOR. LUCKILY I HAD ALREADY EATEN LOX THAT DAY. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME AND THE LOX LATELY? IT'S LIKE AN SICKNESS. ANYWAY, I FUN TIME WAS HAD BY ALL (ME), AND HERE ARE THE PICTURES TO PROVE IT.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION

YOU KNOW ME, I LOVE THE EASTERN BLOC. AND VODKA ISN'T EVEN MY FAVORITE SPIRIT, SO GO FIGURE. I DO LOVE ME SOME LOX,THOUGH. IS THAT CONSIDERED EASTERN BLOC? I ATE HALF A POUND OF IT TODAY WITH A PUMPERNICKEL BAGEL. I WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN IF I COULD.

NOW HERE WE ARE IN APRIL, AND THIS SAME FRIEND POSTED PICTURES OF HER BIG, BEAUTIFUL HOUSE AND HER HUSBAND TAKING A BUBBLE BATH IN THEIR NEW TUB.

I MEAN, I KNOW I WOULD HATE IT, AND I KNOW I WOULD FEEL LIKE I COULDN'T RELATE TO ANYONE, BUT THEN I SEE PICS OF CALIFORNIA LAUNDROMATS, AND WALKING DOWN THE STREET WITH NO PANTS, AND I GET HOMESICK. I START TO IMAGINE THAT REALLY LA IS LIKE THE 1970'S. WHICH IT'S NOT. IT'S LIKE THE HILLS. 2010. NO THANK YOU, SIR.

AND WE CAN'T HAVE THAT. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S ALMOST THE END OF THE WEEK, IT'S 70 DEGREES OUT...NEED I GO ON? I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS HEIDI MOUNT GIRL IS. SHOULD I? ANYWAY, SHE'S FINE. OF COURSE IT'S HARD NOT TO BE WHEN YOU'RE 18 AND THIN AND HAVE GOOD HAIR AND A MAKE-UP ARTIST. WHY SO CYNICAL? I'M IN A GREAT MOOD TODAY I DON'T KNOW! ANYWHO, THESE PHOTOS ARE SHOT BY DAN MARTENSEN FOR DANSK. STYLED BY MICHELLE CAMERON. I REALLY LIKE THE BIG OL' CORSET. I NEED ONE OF THOSE.

I FIRST SAW THIS PHOTO OF THE CLOSE-UP OF THE GIRL WITH THE ROUND GLASSES AND A CIGARETTE IN HER MOUTH ON THE DANISH BLOG SPOTDING, AND I TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. BUT I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS OR WHERE IT CAME FROM UNTIL NOW! THIS EDITORIAL IS FROM NUMERO MAY 2005 AND IS SHOT BY DUSIN RELJIN. I AM WILD ABOUT THESE PHOTOGRAPHS AND I DON'T EVEN LOVE THE SIXTIES!!! THEY REMIND ME OF THIS FRENCH MOVIE I SAW AT THE BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC A COUPLE YEARS AGO. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME, BUT IT WAS REALLY TRIPPY AND LIKE 7 HOURS LONG. BUT THE TWO GIRLS IN IT WERE SUPER STYLISH AND CUTE, AND THERE WAS THIS MOD-GYPSY VIBE. I LOVE THE SIDE-SWEPT HAIR AND THE HEAVY LINER ON THE BLONDE (AND OF COURSE HER GLASSES AND GAPPED TEETH). I ALSO LOVE THE GRAININESS OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS. THIS IS A HUGE INSPIRATION!

AND ALSO WHILE I LOVE CONVERTABLES, THEY GET TO BE A BIT MUCH AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES. ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, JULIA STEGNER LOOKS GREAT. THAT JUMPSUIT IS A LITTLE NUTS THOUGH.

THERE IS NOTHING I LOVE MORE THAN A SPRING AFTERNOON IN ADRIAN'S GARDEN. EXCEPT MAYBE A SUMMER AFTERNOON. THIS WEEKEND I RODE MY LITTLE RED PEUGEOT BIKE THROUGH CARROLL GARDENS TO ADRIAN'S HOUSE WITH A LOAF OF BREAD, TWO AVOCADOS, A JAR OF HEARTS OF PALM, AND A HEAD OF CABBAGE STRAPPED TO THE BACK. HEAVEN!!!!! THE ONLY BAD THING ABOUT IT WAS THAT MY SKIRT KEPT FLYING UP, BUT THEN WHAT THE HELL ELSE IS NEW.

WE MADE A SALAD OF CABBAGE, AVOCADO, RADISHES, HEARTS OF PALM, TUNA, CHICK PEAS, MUSTARD, SALT, PEPPER, AND OLIVE OIL. WE ALSO ATE CIABATTA WITH CHEESES AND MORE AVOCADO. IT WAS DELICIOUS AND HEALTHY! I'VE DISCOVERED THAT CABBAGE IS THE GREATEST FOOD EVER CREATED. PLEASE SEE NUTRITIONAL CHART FOR AN EXPLANATION. THEY CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!

AFTER EATING, ADRIAN MADE A JESUS CROWN OUT OF STICKS AND WIRE, AND I SLEPT IN THE SUN.

TODAY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY MR. WONDER

I KNOW I'VE BEEN POSTING WAY TOO MANY SONGS/VIDEOS LATELY, BUT I CAN'T RESTRAIN MYSELF. I'VE BEEN DANCING TO THIS SONG IN MY HEAD FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS. IT'S UNCONTROLLABLE. SO NOW I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU DO IT TOO. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. JUST GO FOR IT, IT'LL FEEL GOOD.

THIS IS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW

2010-04-11T10:09:00.001-04:00

I CARRIED A WATERMELON

2010-04-10T09:39:00.004-04:00

YESTERDAY I WATCHED DIRTY DANCING AND NOW ALL I WANT TO DO IS WEAR CROP TOPS GET SWEATY IN THE POCONOS. JESUS CHRIST I NEED TO GO DANCING, AND NOT JUST ALONE IN MY ROOM. THIS IS THE BEST CLIP FROM THE WHOLE MOVIE, TOO BAD THE GUY THAT PUT IT ON YOU TUBE CHANGED WHERE THE SONG STARTS SO THE MUSIC DOESN'T GO WITH THE DANCING. WHAT A RETARD.

DINNER PARTY

2010-04-03T16:01:00.005-04:00

ON TUESDAY EVENING ADRIAN, NELL AND I COOKED A DINNER (I.E. ADRIAN COOKED A DINNER). WHAT FUN! IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SPRING EVENING, AND WHAT BETTER A WAY TO SPEND IT THAN IN A GORGEOUS APARTMENT IN THE WEST VILLAGE WITH GOOD FRIENDS? WE HAD ORGANIC SEEDUCTION BREAD (OH WHOLE FOODS, YOU ARE SO CLEVER) WITH AVOCADO AND CHILIS, SAUTEED KALE, AND THE BEST STEAK IN THE WORLD. EVEN MORE SO BECAUSE THE MEAT GUY SCREWED UP AND ONLY CHARGED US $2.99 A POUND. HOLLA! NELL ALSO MADE US LILLET WITH ORANGE, WHICH I LOVE, AND THEN WE DRANK WHITE WINE. THE WHOLE THING WAS DELIGHTFUL. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE WAS THAT I ATE SO MUCH CHOCOLATE FOR DESSERT THAT MY TUMMY HURT. ADRIAN FOUND ROOM ON THE WAY TO THE TRAIN AFTER FOR TWELVE HANDLES, THOUGH. SECOND FROZEN YOGURT OF HIS DAY. EW.

I FEEL A BIT LIKE THIS TODAY

2010-04-03T13:03:00.002-04:00

BESS IS NOT JUST A COW. SHE'S ALSO STUDDED HIDE.

2010-03-31T11:15:00.006-04:00

I LOVE EVERYTHING AT BESS ON LAFAYETTE. ANY STORE THAT SELLS EXCLUSIVELY STUDS AND FRINGE IS A-OK IN MY BOOK. GENIUS! I'D REALLY LIKE TO BUY SOME BOOTS THERE, BUT I DON'T HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS. I THINK I MIGHT JUST BUY A BEDAZZLER AND TAKE MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS INSTEAD.

WELL HELLO

2010-03-30T12:55:00.004-04:00

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, AIN'T NO ONE GONNA TELL ME I'M NOT CONSISTENT. LOOK AT THIS SECOND DRESS. I NEED THAT DRESS LIKE THE DESERT NEEDS THE RAIN. LEATHER? LACE? BLACK? SHORT. GOD HELP ME. IN FACT I LOVE ALL OF THIS. I LOVE THE MOTORCYCLE JACKET, THE SMOKEY EYE MAKE-UP, THE LEOPARD, THOSE SPOTTED TIGHTS. UHHH. THIS IS MASHA NOVOSELOVA SHOT BY AITKEN JOLLY.

I WANT THIS

2010-03-30T11:31:00.002-04:00

THERE ISN'T A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THIS. UNLESS THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO KILL TIME BEFORE HEADING TO YOUR VILLA ON THE MEDITERRANEAN.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ACCESSORIES

2010-03-29T23:03:00.003-04:00

IT'S A RAINY MONDAY NIGHT. IT'S ALMOST APRIL. I'M VEGGING AT HOME DREADING HAVING TO GO TO BED JUST TO WAKE UP AGAIN. SO HOW ABOUT SOME ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE, HUH? NOTHING SAYS COZY EVENING IN BED LIKE HIM. WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, SAVE YOUR SLIPPERS AND TEA FOR WHEN YOU'RE A GRANNY. AND JUST BE GLAD I SPARED YOU HIS FAMOUS SHUTTER CORD SHOT.

P.S. HOW COME ALL THE GOOD-LOOKING LEATHER DADDIES ARE GAY? HAHAH JUST KIDDING.

NOW ALL I NEED IS TO FIND A GROOM THAT WILL LOOK GOOD WITH THIS

2010-03-29T22:49:00.003-04:00

ON MY WAY HOME TONIGHT I WALKED FROM TRIBECA TO LES AND THROUGH NOLITA. ON MOTT STREET I SAW THIS WEDDING DRESS IN A WINDOW. I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT WHAT THE STORE WAS, BUT WHATEVER. IT'S BY CAFE GITANE IF YOU'RE IN THE MARKET TO GET MARRIED. I'M NOT USUALLY INTO WEDDING DRESSES, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A "DREAM WEDDING DRESS", BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S PATHETIC (AND A WASTE OF GOOD VACATION MONEY), BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT: THIS DRESS IS PRETTY AWESOME. OF COURSE THE PICTURE ISN'T GREAT, BUT YOU GET THE GIST. I WOULD WEAR THIS IN A HOT SECOND.

IT'S FRIDAY, HOW ABOUT SOME LEATHER?

2010-03-26T12:00:00.003-04:00

IT'S NO SECRET HOW I FEEL ABOUT A) LEATHER AND B) DOMINATRIX GEAR. SO SUE ME. IT'S ALSO NO SECRET HOW MUCH I LOVE ALL (ALMOST) THINGS GERMAN. ESPECIALLY EARLY 20TH CENTURY MODERNIST GERMAN THINGS. SO IMAGINE MY DELIGHT WHEN I CAME ACROSS THIS SHOT OF NAOMI CAMPBELL SHOT BY STEVEN MEISEL FOR VOGUE RUSSIA THIS MONTH! SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE WANDERED OFF THE BLADE RUNNER SET AND INTO A LOUISE BROOKS MOVIE. IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN THAT?? I HIGHLY DOUBT IT. AND I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK NYU FOR PROVIDING ME WITH A BILLION DOLLAR DEGREE THAT ALLOWS ME TO RECOGNIZE THAT.

TODAY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY MUSE

2010-03-24T15:35:00.003-04:00

THIS WEEKEND I REDISCOVERED MY LOVE OF MUSE. HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT THEM? THIS SONG MAKES ME WANT TO DANCE WITH MY HANDS ON MY HEAD IN A BASEMENT BAR AND FORGET EVERYTHING EXCEPT BEING YOUNG AND IN LOVE. AND MAYBE DRUNK AND CUTE TOO. I'M ALSO TOTALLY INTO THE SONG STARLIGHT. I RECOMMEND YOU ALL TURN IN YOUR AMEX POINTS FOR SOME MUSE TUNES ASAP...

THIS IS MY SHIT

2010-03-16T12:11:00.006-04:00

I AM TOTALLY WILD ABOUT THE LOOKS IN THIS EDITIORIAL. I GUESS IT'S TRUE, I REALLY DO WANT TO BE EITHER A CIRCUS OR LOUNGE PERFORMER. AND WHY WOULDN'T I?? I LOVE THE LINGERIE COSTUMES AND THE EMERALD GREENS AND RUSTY REDS. I LOVE THE SEQUINS AND THE HEADPIECES! APPARENTLY PHOTOGRAPHER JAVIER VALLHONRAT WAS INSPIRED BY VARGAS GIRLS, WHICH I TOTALLY GET, BUT I THINK THIS WOMAN IS MORE THAN JUST A PIN UP. I THINK SHE SWALLOWS SWORDS WHILE RIDING A WHITE HORSE. OR SINGS WHILE SLUNG ATOP A PIANO. I'D ASK SOMEONE TO REMIND ME TO BUY A BUSTIER, BUT I ALREADY HAVE TWO. SO THEREFORE, SOMEONE REMIND ME TO BUY SOMETHING GREEN.

I DO TO THIS

2010-03-14T21:13:00.004-04:00

A-OH! I LOVE THIS HAT. I USED TO WANT TO WEAR A WHITE HAT LIKE THIS WHEN I GOT MARRIED. WITH A WHITE BIKER JACKET OVER MY DRESS. ACTUALLY, COME TO THINK OF IT, I WOULD STILL TOTALLY WEAR THAT OUTFIT. BUT UNTIL THAT DAY, I'LL STICK WITH BLACK. I ALSO LOVE HER LEATHER BRA SHE'S GOT ON. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?

WHEN I GROW UP

2010-03-12T11:56:00.003-05:00

IT SEEMS THAT I AM ALWAYS IN SOME SORT OF CAREER TRANSITION THESE DAYS, WHICH IN EFFECT I SUPPOSE MEANS I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHAT MAKES SENSE FOR ME AT THIS POINT. OR MAYBE I AM JUST FIGHTING THE TRUTH!! I SORT OF THINK THAT THIS IS WHAT I AM MEANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE. NOT SO MUCH THE LOOKING EXHAUSTED AND OUT OF IT PART, BUT THE FEATHER HEADRESS PART. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR AWHILE NOW THAT MAUBE I SHOULD JUST LOOK IN MY CLOSET AND SEE WHAT CAREER I ALREADY HAVE THE WARDROBE FOR. THAT'S BOTH PRACTICAL AND ENLIGHTENING! AND GUESS WHAT!? LOUNGE PERFORMER IT IS!!

HELLO AGAIN

2010-03-09T23:20:00.003-05:00

I KNOW I HAVE BEEN MIA. HAS ANYONE EVEN NOTICED? IT'S A GOOD THING, THOUGH...I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN BUSY! MY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS HAVE BEEN LONG LASTING: DINNER AT PEASANT ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH LISA AND ALEX, DRINKS AT DUTCH KILLS ON THURSDAY, BRUNCH ON SATURDAY...WHAT FUN!! BUT BACK TO REALITY (SORT OF)!

TONIGHT KIA CAME OVER FOR ROUND ONE OF FRENCH MOVIE NIGHT. THIS EVENING'S AGENDA: THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURGH WITH CATHERINE DENEUVE. OH HOLY HELL WHAT A MOVIE! THE COLORS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY...EACH SCENE OUTDOES THE LAST. VISUALLY I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH STUNNING JUXTIPOSITION OF COLORS. IT SURPRISES YOU EVERY SECOND. AND THE MUSIC!!! MY HEART IS STILL WEEPING OVER THE STORY AND THE THEME SONG. AS KIA AND I WERE SAYING TO EACH OTHER, THE LYRICS THAT THEY SING TO EACH OTHER ARE SO VERY SIMPLE, BUT THATS WHAT MAKES THEM SO SINCERE! WATCH THIS CLIP AND LET IT PULL AT YOUR HEART...

TOMORROW IS MARCH 3RD 2010

2010-03-02T16:31:00.004-05:00

OK, SO TOMORROW REALLY IS THE DAY. AND I HAVEN'T BEEN COUNTING DOWN PROPERLY ABOUT EVERYTHING I WANT BECAUSE I'VE JUST SIMPLY BEEN TOO BUSY, SO I'M JUST GONNA CUT TO THE CHASE. AND BEFORE I DO, I WOULD LIKE TO APPOLOGIZE FOR SUBJECTING EVERYONE TO THIS WHOLE "MY BIRTHDAY IS SO EXCITING BUY ME LOTS OF GIFTS" THING. THAT BEING SAID, FORGET THE EXPENSIVE LEATHER DRESSES, THIS IS WHAT I REALLY WANT. SIZE 4. BESIDES, THEN I CAN MAKE MY OWN.

HOLY MOLEY

2010-02-27T12:19:00.006-05:00

I'M NOT INTO GOD, BUT I AM INTO THESE PHOTOGRAPHS. IT ALWAYS CRACKS ME UP A BIT WHEN RELIGIOUS STATUES EXPERIENCE SPIRITUAL ECSTACY OR WHATEVER. (THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE NO RELIGIOUS UPBRINGING AND THEN YOU SEE A STATUE MAKING THAT FACE. A THIRTY-YEAR-OLD WOMAN TURNS INTO A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY RIGHT QUICK). I ALSO HAVE TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE LAST GIRLS CHOLA EYEBROWS. AMAZING. BUT ENOUGH OF THIS FOOLISHNESS! THESE REALLY ARE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS, AND I ACTUALLY FIND RELIGIOUS ART QUITE EXTRAORDINARILY LAVISH AND MOVING. THERE IS SUCH INTENSITY BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A SACRED PRACTICE FOR THE ARTIST. SO TO COMBINE THIS SUBJECT MATTER WITH FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY, AS MILES ALDRIDGE HAS DONE FOR NUMERO IS PRETTY COOL. I LIKE THEM!!

2010-02-26T15:19:00.002-05:00

WE'RE AT LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY NOW. I JUST GOT A PRE-BIRTHDAY PRACKAGE FROM MY MOM IN THE MAIL. I HOPE ONE OF THESE SLUTTY, OVERPRICED DRESSES IS IN IT.

JILL STUART 2010

THIS IS MY DESTINY

2010-02-26T11:21:00.008-05:00

I DON'T THINK I NEED TO TELL ANYONE THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BORN IN PARIS WITH A BERET AND A CONE BRA ON, EATING CHEESE AND DRINKING WINE AND SMOKING MYSELF SILLY WHILE HAVING AFFAIRS WITH FRENCH MEN ON MOTORCYCLES. ANYWAY! ISABELI FONTANA LOOKS GREAT IN THIS EDITORIAL FOR HARPER'S BAZAARE RUSSIA SHOT BY MARCIN TYSZKA. I LOVE THE BLACK LOETARDY-THING (WHAT A SURPRISE HUH?) AND THE LAST DRESS AT THE BOTTOM. LET US IMAGINE THAT WE'RE NOT IN A BLIZZARD IN BROOKLYN BUT RATHER WEARING LINGERIE ON THE SEINE.

B-I-B-A

2010-02-24T17:36:00.006-05:00

I WAS LOOKING AT SOME BIBA BOOKS AT THE DESIGN STUDIO LAST WEEK, AND I THOUGHT: "THIS LOOK AIN'T HALF BAD." I LOVE THE SMOKEY GYPSY EYES. I'VE TRIED TO WEAR A SCARF ON MY HEAD BEFORE, BUT IT LOOKED PRETTY DUMB. I FEEL LIKE I WOULD NEED A WILD HEAD OF HAIR RATHER THAN A SCRAGLY ONE IN ORDER TO PULL IT OFF (OR AS THE HAIRDRESSER NEXT TO MINE DESCRIBED MY HAIR, A FRIGHT WIG). REGARDLESS, THESE PHOTOS ARE NICE FOR INSPIRATION.

TODAY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY DIONNE WARWICK

2010-02-23T20:35:00.003-05:00

TODAY MY MOM SENT ME A DIONNE WARWICK CD, AND SO I WANTED TO SHARE MY FAVORITE SONG. MY MOM USED TO SING A LOT OF DIONNE WARWICK COVERS, AND SO WHEN I HEAR THESE SONGS I THINK OF MY MAMA.

I WANT, I NEED

2010-02-23T20:22:00.005-05:00

I DARE ANYTONE TO SAY THAT I DON'T NEED THESE THREE DRESSES. YOU ALL KNOW IT'S TRUE. SO PLEASE RUN, DON'T WALK, TO YOUR NEAREST DOLCE AND GABBANA, AKRIS, AND HANNAH MARSHALL RETAILERS AND BUY THEM FOR ME. I PROMISE I'LL WEAR THEM ALL DAY, EVERYDAY FOREVER.

ART OPENING, SHMART OPENING

2010-02-23T19:02:00.009-05:00

LAST NIGHT LISA AND I WENT TO AN ART OPENING ON HUDSON STREET CALLED ROMANCE. IT PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER TO CALL IT ALL THE GROSS THINGS ABOUT SEX AND BODIES IN ONE SMALL ROOM WITH NOTHING BUT TRADER JOE'S TWO BUCK CHUCK WINE TO GET YOU THROUGH IT. THE WORST PART WAS THAT THERE WAS A HUGE TABLE OF FOOD - CAKE AND PUDDING AND TURKEY - RIGHT WHEN YOU WALK IN, SO YOU GET SUPER EXCITED THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY FEED YOU. THEN YOU REALIZE IT'S A PIECE OF ART, AND THE DEVILED EGGS HAVE CLUMPS OF PUBIC HAIR ON THEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THEN THERE WAS SOME REALLY BAD PERFORMANCE ART, IE. A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SITTING ON A DIRTY MATTRESS DRINKING BEER AND THROWING CONDOMS AROUND. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF HOT GUYS THERE THOUGH. I'LL GIVE IT THAT.

SUNDAY MORNING

2010-02-21T12:58:00.004-05:00

LAST NIGHT I WENT TO A HOUSE PARTY IN BROOKLYN WITH LISA, THEN TO ROSE BAR AT THE GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL, THEN TO ST. JEROMES. IT WAS A FUN NIGHT! I AM THINKING I SHOULD TRY TO GET MORE SLEEP/DRINK LESS THOUGH. TODAY I'M GOING TO GO TO THE BROOKLYN FLEA AND SEE WHAT I CAN SCROUNGE UP. THEN I'M MEETING LISA IN WILLIAMSBURG FOR SOME VINTAGING. MAYBE I'LL FIND JEANS AND SHOES LIKE THESE! I WANT THIS!
