Nine Lives

This is actually from American Vogue

I mean, the underwhelming set design is a dead giveaway and it's no secret that Grace Coddington is an incredible stylist but I haven't responded this strongly to anything in Vogue for years. I...

Under the Pink

Although I'm largely indifferent about Miss Minaj nowadays I fully support her foray into the celebrity fragrance biz. The bottle for "Pink Friday" is one part Avon, one part Metropolis, and...

Bedtime Stories

So I watched The Maids on YouTube the other day out of desperation. Watching the film wasn't desperate but watching such a low-quality version felt wrong, like watching Last Year at Marienbad on an...

the bats have left the bell tower

Nothing will ever be better than the opening sequence of The Hunger. R.I.P. Tony Scott.

Blood and Black Lace

Gaultier Couture label from the amazing new Jean Paul Gaultier book that my aunt bought me. Thx Lisa!

R.I.P. Helen Gurley Brown

I always found it difficult to relate to Cosmopolitan for a variety of reasons but I have to give Helen Gurley Brown props for her role in the sexual liberation movement and the 30+ years of...

Snoop Lion

Image by Andrew HowleyJust when you thought Snoop Dogg couldn't get any better he changes his name to Snoop Lion and releases a reggae album! Apparently our favorite rapper found his true...

♀ Free Pussy Riot! ♀

This post is long overdue. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Pussy Riot, they are a radical feminist punk band from Russia and my personal heros. They wear balaclavas to conceal their...

Dream Wallpaper

Stills from House, 1977

Welcome to my home...

I am so beyond flattered to be featured on Refinery 29 this week! I've always loved those girls and it was a pleasure to have them over. Check out the post here, there are more photos by Maia Harms...

Vogue Italia Bambini

Fan Art

I bought these prints of David Bowie and Marilyn Monroe in an antique shop in Asheville, North Carolina a couple of years ago when Megan and I were on a road trip. Although they are arent stellar...

Marina

You know when you’re in the 70s and you’re an artist and you wear nail polish and lipstick they don’t take you seriously. You look like you want to sleep with the curator. I love vanity and I love...

Chic Happens

Against my better judgement I picked up like 40 issues of Chic from a street vendor this weekend. It was a late seventies / early 80s mens magazine founded by Larry Flynt. Its pretty risque...

Condi

Is it weird that Im kind of excited that Condoleezza Rice could potentially be Mitt Romneys running mate? Of course I dont want them to actually win. Because that would be creepy, regressive,...

About a Girl

I cant even conceive of someone looking cooler/ hotter than Annabella Lwin looks in this photo from a 1983 issue of The Face. This girl is unbelievable. The hair, the dress, the little...

Mary & Jane

Mad props to the hilarious Anja Verdugo for digging up this amazing etsy shop. Rosemary Rain has got to be the coolest chic in the universe. I really wish we could hang out and get high while...

Kitties in Paris

More Kitties and Bullshit here!

The Color Wheel

Last weekend I finally got to see Alex Ross Perrys The Color Wheel, a hysterical, endearing, and refreshingly inappropriate film about a warring brother and sister who embark upon a disastrous...

The worlds most glamorous teenage doll

Chanel x Jean-Paul Goude

Jean-Paul Goudes commercials for Chanel are quite possibly the best thing that ever happened to advertising. The Vanessa Paradis one is my favorite, for obvious reasons. Although the aggro Egoiste...

My Desktop

...is a disaster. And furthermore, Ive been such a slacker about updating this blog that I dont even know what to post about. The possibilities are endless and overwhelming so Ive decided to post...

Four Hundred Twenty

Beastly Luck Tote / Minnow Bathers Bikini / Karen Walker Sunglasses

Oh Hell Yes

DYING for the Monster High Werecat sisters dolls. Just dying.

Sweet Violence

Run, dont walk, to the Sanja Iveković retrospective at MoMa! It closes on Monday and Im fairly certain that it changed my life. For those of you who cant make it, check out the exhibition website...
