the price is WRONG


ugh. this makes me NOT want to buy this diamond...

i'm not saying i could afford it... but this definitely makes me pretend NOT want to buy it.

i had to sit there and try to figure out how much that was. do you reallllllly need seven 9s??? if you add ONE PENNY to that... it's gonna be 100,000 dollars!!!!!

roisin murphy in nyc! oct 24th!

one of my favorite singers, roisin murphy is making her us debut in nyc on oct 24th!

i am sooooo bummed out! she needs to visit la or i need to visit nyc!

ugh!

so sad!

if you haven't heard of roisin, you probably are wrong... she used to be in a band called moloko. they sang that theme song to great expectations called ingenue... it's a haunting song and unfortunately it's more creepie since gwyenth paltrow was in it. i kid.

anyways. i love roisin for several reasons. i think she writes the most cerebral disco flavored songs ever. an example is the song overpowered. the song is about oxytocin... the orgasm hormone... as well as the lactating hormone. that's so hot! another reason i love her so is that she rocks the gareth pugh couture shite like it's her second skin. and she dances.

i don't know if i ever posted her videos on here.. but i will now. these three songs are awesome! she also recorded a song with calvin harris called off & on which was amazing and was for the overpowered record but she ended up tossing it.. which is a shame cause i think it's AMAZING!

OVERPOWERED



LET ME KNOW

take a look at this douchery



is there even a hipster fashion scene anymore?

i think i might have done some d.i.y. clothes like, cutting, braiding and safety pinning some of my tops, but i never really got into the scene.

american apparel is one of those stores that i kinda avoided just because i didn't think it was that interesting. some of the worst outfits i have ever seen have been in their fitting rooms. i think it's great that a dress you buy there can be altered to look like 50 dresses, but most of them are unnecessary and most of them look pretty bad. i will say that there are exceptions!

i find the most interesting thing about american apparel isn't that hey pay fair wages.... it's that their clothes make the thinnest person look fat. seriously, some girl who's a size 2 will look like a size 14 if you mix the right/wrong pieces together.

the only people i see rocking american apparel now are young college students who are trying to imitate the now aging original hipsters. my friend describes it as the "baby scene."

i think that's brilliant.

note so that i don't sound like a total douchey hypocrite: i do own two american apparel items. a plain white wife beater which was used for a photo shoot and then my friend diana, gave me a gray scarf recently. i will say that i do like their scarves... which are basically just long pieces of t-shirt.

on annie leibovitz












i don't understand how annie has gotten to where she is. well, strike that, she was doing sexy times with some guy at rolling stones and got herself some covers and did that iconic image of yoko and john. oh yeah. she was lovers with susan sontag, a highl respected photo/art essayist.

it's not that annie is a terrible photographer.... she's just BORING. BORING. her male equivalent is mark seliger. seriously, his images aren't as muted, but they're pretty similar! i'm sure she gets a lot of work because the photo subject knows that he/she will not look like an idiot once the image is shot. it's safe... like tear-free baby shampoo.

so boring, she sometimes help me fall asleep when i have trouble. she's like snow on a television... and twice as creepie.

i was excited to hear that one of my favorite models of the 90's, carla bruni, was gonna be on the cover... but now as the first lady of france. carla bruni, patricia velasquez, cindy crawford, helena christensen, christy turlington, and several other models were my favorite.

besides the close up of carla where her hair is covering her face, these images are BORING. this photo i believe is supposed to represent the fact that carla was naked for a decade as a high end model. so now that she's the "new jackie" she has to have some modesty and cover her body up with some nude burberry trench.

i'm missing one photo of carla facing a window and painting... which is fine since it's the most boringest of the group and does nothing to help the photo spread.

the cover is alright. it sorta is a very photo 101 assignment: environmental shoot. but whatever, covers tend to be boring.

the opening page, the sweeping outside photo in her red dress is soooo photoshopped that i think her head is a different image than her body. her face is seriously FUCKED UP. go look at the magazine if you have an opportunity.

i'm just disappointed. but i'm not surprised.

bernie mac meal please

this isn't my own photo. i am not a star-fucker. i leave my celebs be.



first off, i've been at the vet all day (nightmare, willow has a broken femur and it's not easily fixable at allllllllll) and just got home, sleepy cause i didn't sleep last night, and i heard that bernie mac died!?!?!

here is my bernie mac story:

i am a surface magazine avant guardian. so each year, i'm invited to the party that introduces the new batch of up and coming avant guardian photographers.

i'm in nyc and ming and i are there.

we're walking around people watching and bernie mac is walking to me.

so i squeal to ming "oh my gosh, it's bernie mac!!!!" and i'm all giggles.

he's walking to me so he notices me notice him. i smile at him and then he smiles at me and looks at me and goes:

"hey. what's up?"

and then i smiled and giggled some more and then we parted ways.

awesome. it made my night!

one of these days i'll tell you about my hank azaria nightmare of a party bump. he's weird.
