A DANGEROUS BEAUTY IN A SULLEN MOOD

Role Models

 

Anyone ever notice how much Arizona Muse resembles Sarah Bernhardt? That would explain her magnetism.

High brow, low brow

Karl Lagerfeld crossing a line, my brother from another Paul Newman swizzles in style, and  Ms Dunst keeping warm the only way she knows how. In other news, I'm in VICE Magazine! Look- but please don't tell my mom. X, S

Fabulush

Hooray for The Spectacle Theater's Femme Punk series, showing every Monday in April. Hooray for young Diane Lane for proving that performing in your underwear is a way of commanding respect. Hooray for how much I am looking forward to seeing "Linda, Linda, Linda" on April 25!!!!

                        

NEOPREEN

Neoprene Beret from Alexandra Cassiniti's Summer Bummer

Life is hard enough without having to start my day with the realization that I don't own this hat!

Neoprene first batted its sweet eyelashes at me in Balenciaga's Spring/Summer '08 collection, and since then my thrifting mates have had to listen to many a "does this wetsuit make me look fat?" from a thrift-store dressing room.

Cassiniti's collection (you MUST check it out here) is all aces: in addition to the C & C Music Factory homage, Summer Bummer also includes some seriously sexy little cheesecloth numbers. That's right, I said cheesecloth! Layering their rough-hewn diaphanous XXXX tank dress over the space-age bralette would be hott enough to make all the boys wanna buy me ice cream this summer.

The boyfriend says "fantasy is free." Neoplease! Somebody get this broke-ass blogger a new bonnet. Or at least help me find out where my 90s spirit animal is these days so we can be friends.

It's Spring!!!

Just kidding. I'm just doing some mighty risky poking around on my fave e-hot-spots for some light spring dreamin'. I'm not totally sick of winter yet (I love snow!) but the malaise usually kicks in through the sartorial sphere: I long to see toes poking through sandals, gams jutting out of short-shorts, bellies peeking out from under crop-tops! I even sneakily bought a pair of The Perfect Black Denim Cutoffs at the thrift store a couple days ago, and stopped just short of acquiring a little '90's throwback floral denim minidress from Bongo, cap-sleeves and all. Some of my early Spring shoe picks from only the most shallow of searching:

Topshop Olive Blue Leather Clogs

Forever 21 Floral Mary Janes

Marais USA Prince Wedges

Loeffler Randall Joanna Oxfords

Topshop Monk Lace-up Flats


...Time to go throw on my Frye boots for the 1,000,069th time to trudge through the sludge!

Enjoy...A C I D R O C K!!

"I gotta stick up for my generation. It didn't seem gay at the time. I don't know these performers but when we dressed like that we got laid and not in a gay way! We didn't know Freddy Mercury(Queen) or Rob Halford (Judas Priest) and even more amazing.. George Michaels (Wham) were gay. Macho wasn't so narrowly defined back then. To me, it was a lot more fun than the sexual paranoia that sometimes happens now. Rock On!"


Amen.
