gaga, ooh la la

THIS IS IT, FRIENDS.
This is the moment.
If you love fashion, and don't love GAGALOO TOO..then you don't get the joke, you don't get the fun, you don't get the THING. You don't have to love the music (bad move) but you have to LOVE THE LOVE.

Today I watched the Lady's new video, Bad Romance and to quote Polly Mellon in Unzipped..IT CHANGED MY EYE. That is to say this shit is THE ONLY LEVEL.

This is also a pretty offish landmark for ol' Lady Gags- no more homemade couture "homage"... There is ALEXANDER MCQUEEN and it is REAL.

LET'S LET IT ALL IN:



FIRST SHOT: WE ENTER HEAVEN.
And HEAVEN looks like a Dolce & Gabbana ad! If you were wondering, I audibly GASPED when it started. I love.



Um, this is the only way to sit in a chair.



Mental note, dismantle old VCR and place parts on face, POST HASTE. [ED NOTE, eek they ARE razor blades. I am not that hardcore!] I mean, this is 30 seconds in and already 4000 mega fashion moments have happened.



But then..Que es esto, La Gaga? Nail mesh? (Is this also bizarre product placement?)

Oh, and if you were WONDERING Where the Wild Things Are?



They are here:



good grief, creeper latex Max costumes! Holy Whaaaa. WILD RUMPUS, INDEED.



Hey kids, REMIND ME TO D I for Y this kooky crown.



There is some sort of story in the vid of like..an overdose? Bad Romance indeed, Gags. This hair is neo-Frenchy-in-Grease. I want easter egg curls, i think. Anime freak eyeballs, mabes no.



Who's this guy? Is that couture headgear?



I am ready to move past this look. I call this "Hot Bod Gagalog", or "Dope Britney". it's sexxxay, but I need more. (...and more is coming, JUST YOU WAIT)



Oh hai.



PSSST i see you, MCQUEEN SHOE, I SEEEE YOUUUUU. (fashionforeshadowing!)



Sing alongggggg: I want your love and I want your revenge



I want your love, I dont wanna be friendsssssss



OK. I just got you started up, are you ready?
Ready for the MOST MAJOR MOMENT EVER?



FULL



MCQUEEN



HEAD TO MOTHERFUCKING ARMADILLO TOE !



McQUEENADILLOS!!!!!!

I mean, I CAN'T. Can you? I can't. I am so in love.
STOP THE WORLD. GAGA OWNS IT ALLLLLLL.
NO ONE can best this. NO ONE!

2 MAJOR song notes:
1. 1990s Madonna impersonation is reaching an all-time high in this jam AS IT SHOULD. She shouts, "Cuz I'm a free bitch, baby" and it sounds ZACTLY like M.
2. The french chorus at the end is hilarimazing. J'adoreeeeeeee.

There is some amazing shit at the end of the vid too- bitch shows her full ASS and sets herself on fire on a bear rug but like, after the McQueen-adillos I have nothing left. I feel like this:



I LOVE YOU, LADY GAGA.

did you see the lights

Oh maaannnn, THIS JAM is really getting me today.



Don't sleep on Steve Miller Band, homies. This is some mystical makeout shit right here!
Where's my stoner love tent when I really want it?

Happy Sunday!

virtual irony

Hey guys..I was lucky enough to be asked to do an interview with Swide, Dolce&Gabbana's online magazine, pretty cool!!!



Maybe you want to check it out? You can find out who I think rocks the blogs, what my typical day is like, and whether I have ever "blogged under the influence" (PREPOSTEROUS!).

Thank you Kerry & Swide!!

Whatcha doin today?
Why don't you go to Capricious Gallery and get yer nails did?


Just a suggestion

My dear Molly has curated a show about nail art called Nefer/Nfr that is up at the gallery RIGHT NOW, and today nail artist Abby Walton is taking appointments to do yer nails up!

I love this idea.
It's happening all afternoon at Capricious, from 1-6.

Email Abby (abbywalton@yahoo.com) and make an appoinment or just roll on by, check the show and see if you can get squeezed in...do it!

my apologies

My latest Epiphany is up at StreetCarnage, in which I admit my embarrassingly gross bone fantasy for Chad the Bowlcut.



Please forgive me, I love you all Check it!

EDIT i had no idea CHAD would be so polarizing...we've all heard of JOKES, right? justttt checkinggggggg.

mystix

I have just discovered my new favorite jewelry line...All For The Mountain !

I mean, I fell in love at the homepage, this is some mystical acidtripping BDonns-esque weirdo stuff, SO DOPE! Look at this, there's a GIF of a hand with a Smudge Stick in it as well.



i am totalllllyyyyy feeling this!


Transformer Cuff


Shoulder Pads


Rock Snake Pinky Ring


Drip V Bolo

Want, need, must-have..Dontcha think?

Is it ok that I have realized that as time goes on, these are basically my hair icons?



I want to keep my bangs as straight and flat as possible, and then let the rest be a fluffed out frizzcloud of insanity. I am already headed in that direction, but I want it BIGGER.
Halfway between a coddington and a Radner. I am also still dreaming of Karen Elson red for my own head...Gingerkid in 2010? Something to ponder.

tiny cupcakes are the new tiny hamburgers

Last Thursday, if you recall, me and Veevs cohosted a lil shindig at the Korres store in Soho to celebrate the launch of Studio Beauty Mix's Beauty Channel.

Once again, my friends proved to be DOPEST and came out in droves to support and eat tiny cupcakes and drink fruity cocktails and sample makeups and display general raditude.

Andreas, Corrie and Chrissy. Later that night Corrie and Chrissy would convince Kat and I that not only did we need Snuggies DESPERATELY , we need them in LEOPARD PRINT. (I thnk it;s gonna change my world view)

Mercedez and Andrew came. Cedez was a vision in bejangled and accessorized fantasgreatness, as per usual.



Carlen, Keren and dude I do not know (hi! thanks for coming!)



TRUDATZZZZZ...extra points for Trudy for coming to an event that I think she wouldn't normally be chillin at..



Shirley has a new blog, PARTY A DAY where she...goes to a party a day. We made the cut!



I couldn't stop petting Kat all night long. I challenge you to try NOT to stroke that white fluffy wonder!



I finally got to meet Tiffany of SixSixSick, yaaayyyyyy..Hear head accoutrment was beyond incredz.

There was some serious ACCESSORIZING going on (please note the aforementioned HEADTHING on Tiffany, above)



NICOLE'S TIGHTS! ooommmggggg. Sexxxayyyyyyytimes! You could just barely see the tops when she was standing normally, they are hot.



ADF was KILLINNG ITTTTTT with his SOCK AND SHOE GAME! Opening Ceremony saddleshoes & blue n green bald eagle socks = amaze.



WHATTTTTT IN THE WHAT...I need lightning bolt nails!



Laia, killing me softly with her Acne Atacomas. SIGHHHHHHH



Crystal's necklace...silver bones. I want it. (secret goth)

There was also a "kissing booth"...I think most people were scurrred although a few were really going for it, namely THESE TWO LOVEBIRDS:

Get a room? JAYYY KAYYYYY. Go ahead, this is a friendly space.

We didn't make out, I swear.

This is Ben. First he tried to order a cocktail from me (flattering!) and then requested to be in on the kissin. I obliged because I am a PEOPLE PERSON.

Check this seduction scene, I was trying to TALK to her, about like, you know..the WEATHER and the YANKEES...

...And then I just fell into her trap. I was so entranced by the furry vest and those GINGER WAVES, it was like a safe warm hug from the fabric softener bear..who then wants to make out with you. KAT, YOU MINX.

A seriously fun fun night, thank you everyone who came!!!!

i consider this the new year

I did some day of birth morning shoppin at Bloomingdale's with my moms (so old school)...I can't remember the last time my mom took me shopping, but it was kinda fun. I realized my selections made a dope outfit and so I changed before my Birthday Lady Tea. Decadence in my new year?

Pretty flowers from Molinga, friendship bracelet from Kat, antique scarab bracelet from Keren, flames-cuff-from-her-"SF in 1994"-vice party Halloween costume (not pictured, um, OOPS) from Veevs.

PERFECT black highwaisted skirt // Marc by Marc
Brown suede high heel oxfords (with suede fat laces, LOVE them) // Via Spiga (??? I know, what? they are so dope though! I pretend they're Timberlands)
Baggy Cheetarama Tee // H&M

I HIGHLY recommend afternoon tea at Bergdorf's, BY THE BY. It is so choice.
It is not sooo expensive and the dopeass interior is White Lightninglove KELLY WEARSTLER designed (she of the ba-nonkers hats and outfits) and you overlook the park and IT IS FANCY FUN to eat tiny sammies and clotted cream.

I LOVE TEA SAMMIES ! And I love my friends and I love boygossip and I really love Champagne before it gets dark.

I realized something at this table: All my best girlfriends are loud funny pottymouthed epic storytellers. And with the exception of Kat's enviable ginger locks, they are all saucy brunettes (gals who were not able to attend bc of work/or live in other countries INCLUDED). JUST. SAYING.

 

The last perfect moment came by way Keren "Pickaxe" Richter who hailed a PEDICAB to get us to the next destination. PS, I have NEVER in my life been on such a contraption and I declare it one step above riding on the handlebars of a bike. (also...really really fun).

QUITE the day..thank you ladies !

i do what i want

Hey, it's my birthday I can post whatever right?

scorpio eat scorpio

Happy Birthday, Marie Antoinette ! Happy Day of the Dead, Mexico ! Happy full moon, werewolves and the criminally insane!


the face of an adult (?)

Oh and...
It's my birthday, today?

How did that happen?
Another year older (ew), not too sure about wiser.. (Eh, overrated.)

I can unequivocally say that the past 365 days have been unlike any other in my entire life.
The biggest ups and downs and sad and happy and crazy and fun and carefree and worrisome and exciting moments of my life so far, TRUESTofFAX.

I can't decide if I am sad to see it end or relieved to put it behind me...mabes a bit of both?

Well anyway.
Here's to SCORPIOS, the sexy assholes of the zodiac.
I intend to have a pretty good day.

"the ringer is the uniform for indie rockers"

I can't fully form sentences after watching this House of Style clip from 1994. (theme of the weekend, apparently)



The launch of x-girl!

Pregnant Kim Gordon ("I hope she's a riot grrl!"), Sofia + Spike Jonze still together and sooo young, Chloe Sevs in the runway show, shoutout to Sofia's friend "Marc Jacobs", Bull in the Heather video, X-LARGE/Liquid Sky shoutout! Oh god it goes on and on, THIS IS EVERYTHING.

If you were ever curious about my 10th grade style and aspirations...watch this video and you will know. Where is all my x-girl clothing?!?

Thank you, THANK YOU for sending me this Marisa, you just made my LIFE.

If you want to get in on this tinyfilm situation...I highly recommend it.
People were freaking over this thing! It is a lichubbchubb plastic cute thing, I have to say. And the pics are SO crisp. LOVE IT! I've been missing instant film gratification in my life.

BON WEEKEND!

random details

If you are not all familiar with Arielle De Pinto,you should be. We first met at the infamous crafternoon at Keren's house, the one where I made a giant hair bow out of hair to match my hair. Yah , that one.

A brief reenactment of our meeting:
ME: "So..what are you doing right there, exactly?"

ARIELLE:"Crocheting metal chain into amazing necklaces and facemasks and body drapings. And what is that thing in your hand again?"

ME: "Oh, cool. This? This is 2 dollar hair from the Dominican hair supply store. I am going to make a giant hairbow out of it to wear out in public. On my own head."

AND SO WE BECAME FRIENDS.


silver n gold crocheted arielle de pinto pouch jangle / nirvana croptop / philip lim 3.1 shinygold skirt



The best thing about this lil pouch is that it fits my tiny comb perfectly (supes necessary to keep bangs in line).



Everybody wants to get in on this action.



Pam Grier likes to wear it all the time. Bitch is always borrowing my shit.
