Thumbs' Up to "the imdb"; What I'm Listening To/Things You Should See
26 August, 2008, 01:05 am in "Gratitude, Fashion, Reasons to "Melt Some Plastic""
First off, thanks to all of you wherever who did whatever whenever that made my imdb.com stats jump so high this week. I don’t know if it’s a result of my presence in the (cough, cough) ‘Celebrity’ issue of Wedding Dresses magazine that came out earlier this month. I mean, I knew that was a mainstream fluke… I just didn’t expect to see it, well, just about everywhere. Especially, say—on a shopping excursion at 3 a.m. for Redi-Whip at Ralph’s.
Then again, I also didn’t anticipate going from three cameras to none in the span of a week and a half.
As with anything in my life, it seems I have to learn my lessons the hardest way imaginable. Rather than talk about despair (I mean, please—how many years was I Too Goth To Handle? There’s only so long I can go around having a bad time everywhere!), I’m just gonna ‘suck it up’ and buy a Canon that’s been recommended to me.
So…since I don’t have any ‘exclusive’ photos at the moment, I figured: why not post about some of my current obsessions?
Today I’m diggin’ on…
Urinal Art:
The debut issue of Japanese mens’ Vogue:
(Here’s a peek at a forthcoming editorial… on par with American Mens’ Vogue, right? Riiiiiiiight):
A runway look from a while back that’s haunting me in the best way imaginable…
Somebody. Help me. Please!
Who’s responsible for this stroke of slick black genius?
Then-- of course, what’s a little…screen-saver/site-scan shopping?
Granted, I can’t fight off the lyrics that come to mind of someone who truly understands the meaning of the word irony: Lily Allen. Her song “I Don’t Know”ť is such a strychnine-soaked smiley-faced commentary on contemporary society; rarely a day goes by that the sardonic lyrics don’t get queued up on the ol’ iPod.
Despite the cadence that resonates through lines like:
“I am a weapon of massive consumption/ It’s not my fault/it's how I'm programmed to function…”ť
Here’s where I succumb to that which I
COVET (cause I just plain)
LOVE IT.
Spot-Check These Finds Among My ‘Wish List of the Moment’…
Toy Me’s Silver Scissor Cuff:
Citizen Citizen’s Shoplifter Tote Bag:
(both items available from fashion journalist Rose Apodaca’s shop run with her boyfriend Andy: www.aplusrstore.net)
Japanese Geta Shoes (Especially the White-on-White, or anything rubberized/modernized):
And these effin’ Killer Ninja Boots! (Need. Pair. Nowwww…):
(one on-line source is: www.karankoron.com)
For the Bookshelf/Coffee Table/Stash of Masturbatory Material:
Of which I fucking love. Also, the silk screen shirt on a fashion runway, mixed with leggings and the "mask" - brilliance.

I feel like I'm behind now... even though I've only missed two blogs, and I already saw the video a couple days ago on your next post. But anyways. Can you say AMAZING to that slick black outfit, the shirt is especially amazing, and the cover shot of Japan Vogue. I love that image! As usual, you keep me up to date on all things that actually interest me.
