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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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?
