Mad Max.

I do this sometimes; I watch movies and can't even pay attention to the plot because I'm literally stressing out about what the characters are wearing. The costumes in Mad Max, Road Warrior are out of control. I think the reason that I like the costumes so much is that they are seemingly unruly but very complexly put to together.
I want to be her:

Crackpipe Carebear Love

So I bought this Ground Zero top at Seven the other day because I wanted to try out pastels with my new platforms and also the cut of the shirt is out of control. It's distortion in the assymmetry of the sleeves and hem mirror the rather disturbing subject of the shirt. I basically can't take it off.
My roommate also thought it would be a good idea to pat my other roommate's cat down with pink chalk (there was a bit of a tiff that ensued). We match.





Last post with the Gareths for a while, sorry. I can't get over them.

Whitney Musuem Herve L. Overkill

So Jeffrey and I made a short appearance at the Whitney Musuem in the below outfits with girls in terribly tacky BCBG dresses and other "Manhattanite" type fare. You can imagine the looks of disgust oozing from their well kept pores. We quickly escaped to the Mercer Hotel/Sub-Mercer.

I never know what to wear to casual settings.... I like that I look like I stepped out of the future.

My friends Ash and Katie from the band White Diamonds. They always look good.

Armor, Pris, KO, and Gareth

Friday I was going to go to Ruff Club, but I couldn't find anyone to go with. My outfit was super trashy. I've been working on this earring for the past couple of weeks, I can't say that I just fashioned it one day because it's been an accumulation of inspirations and adaptations. I'm really inspired by the idea of armor as jewelry and this woman came into Seven wearing an earring that was long strings of chain (she was also wearing thigh high Rick Owens boots). I immediately went home and fashioned an earring that was a foot long of chains. I added hair because I had some leftover weave from a photo shoot (randomly, and luckily) and I wore it this way for a week or so. Only recently did I realize that by wrapping it around my ear I could eliminate the pain of getting it caught on things and not realizing it (more painful in the fact that I imagine it ripping through my earlobe) as well as the pain of gravity. I really like it wrapped around my ear regardless because it reminds me of a peircing a punk kid would do to be scene and tortured and it reminds me of armor or some sort of decoration that a warrior girl would wear living on the streets: a sort of thrown together embellishment of trash found. I especially look like one with my new undercut (don't worry I still have the bowl). I always only wear one earring because asymmetry adds a level of mystery and interest in an outfit. I'm also wearing KO nail polish. Christian Joy's friend designs and makes the colors and its amazing. I bought the black today, and it dries absolutely matte- no shiny nonesense. So dramatic and agressive and fabulous. Christian says that the Liberty blue looks amazing with a red lip.



I also really want one of these "goth" rings It's for the warrior girl of the future that is trying to survive. AKA Pris from Blade Runner. Dan's Jeweler's rings.


- I reallllly want this one.


Today I went scouting for Style Like U uptown at Barney's and Bergdorf's. (Will, you would have died with the shoe sale, overflowing Balenciagas) and I wore Gareth head-to-toe.

I have been stressing over the Gareth Pugh SS09 shoes since February when they first stomped down the runway. Seven got them in, and since I work there, I had to deal with them being in my presence everyday. I could only handle it for two days, and I freaked out and bought them. They are probably the most amazing shoes that have graced my feet. They are simple and minimal in design, but have such a strong impact. Their minimalism is only dwarfed by their agressiveness and they are the summer sandal purchase of all summer sandal purchases. I'm really excited to break out of the dull colors that I have been wearing with them and wear them with pastels. It will look soooooo goooood. I was at the photo shoot for SEVEN for their new Gareth stuff and the black/white leggings do look amazing with them in person, but I want to explore new ways to wear them besides the way they were worn in the show. Yes, it was an amazing look, but these shoes have the potential to be worn in so many other conceptual ways.







I am wearing them with American Apparel tights that I slashed myself (inspired by Gareth's AW09 collection, Jeremy Scott Crop top, and my nasty curly bed head from being in bed all day (dreaming of my new shoes)
