Freaks and Geeks

I've been re-watching more Freaks and Geeks because that's what you do when you're on Spring break. It's such an underrated show that was cancelled too soon � there are still 6 unseen episodes that were never released. So I made Polyvore sets for the Freaks, and for the Geeks. They're not too elaborate but I like them.

Bill is my favorite character. If I had my own little group of Freaks and Geeks friends I would choose Bill, Kim, Daniel and Sam to be mah besties. Bill because he's obviously da best, Kim because she gets really cool as the show progresses, Daniel because he's James Franco, and Sam because you kind of pity him, yet genuinely like him at the same time.

So good.

Miss Understood

I sketched this last night...

click for more detail

I  was going for a sort of angst-y, boarding school/old money girl going through a rebellious stage. She hand-studded and painted the leather/fur jacket she spent $4,000 on. And the jersey skirt is from the Forever 21 she sneers at but secretly loves because she can pretend to be a normal teenage girl while shopping there. The patent leather Mary-Jane platforms are from her mother, who used to be a stripper but got saved by a rich hedge fund manager. She's the type of girl who would make blood oaths in the moonlight with her friends, if she had any. 
Clearly, her wardrobe is hella sweet. don't mess.


I need to transfer the sketch onto marker paper and color it.

But Julian, I'm a Little Bit [Younger] Than You

The song is about Julian Casablancas. Everyone's a little obsessed. It's like bleached-hair girls performing voodoo on Barbies in a basement sitting on a rabbit-fur blanket wearing floral print maxi dresses and platform stripper shoes.

Heart Shaped Box

Nirvana reference heiiii..

I bought these Jeffrey Campbell platform wedges for Spring and I'll probably wear them tomorrow despite the fact that it's going to be less than 40 degrees when I leave for school. They're amazing.

dese make meh tall

This idea is stolen from Tavi, but I constructed a mood board out of tangible objects. I was going for a vintage meets indie-hipster-scum sort of feel. I was going to add more to it, but dinner was calling and I was hungry.

the box is heart shaped, as you probably gathered from my title.

Heart In a Cage

So great.

Fashion's New Darlings are Not So Darling

I'm probably not qualified to have an official "muse," but if I was, I would definitely name Andrej Pejic and Rick Genest as mine. They are relatively new forces in the fashion industry�Andrej known for his beautiful androgynous looks, and Rick for his full-body tattoos, meant to make him look like a skeleton. Andrej was signed to New York's DNA Models in late 2010 and was booked for both male and female Jean Paul Gaultier runway shows. In fact, Gaultier designed his Fall 2011 menswear show entirely around Andrej. Now, Andrej is booking campaigns and editorials for equally esteemed designers and magazines. Andrej can look so amazingly beautiful that you can't always be sure that he is a man�but most of the time, you don't care. Andrej is a fantastical mash of male and female, and that makes him all the more interesting. He's like Bill Kaulitz minus the weird music and screaming 12 year old fangirls, and also 1,000 times more alluring.

Rick Genest is another rising star in the fashion industry. After catching the eye of Nicola Formichetti, the creative director at Thierry Mugler, he was cast for the Fall 2011 Mugler runway show, as well as the embodiment of evil in Lady Gaga's video for "Born This Way." Rick was then photographed by Mariano Vivanco (and styled by Formichetti) for Vogue Hommes Japan. Some sources say that Rick is a male model, and though he walked the Mugler show, he is not signed to an agency and does not consider himself a model. But who knows what will happen once Rick gains even more recognition...Ford contract, holla!

Hi I'm Ken I'm Scary

dis frightens me

Barbie's 50th birthday will be celebrated at French retail store, Colette, from March 9th to 28th. For the celebration, Karl Lagerfeld shot a series photos featuring a life-size Barbie posing with Baptiste Giabiconi (duh) as Ken. The photographs will be displayed at the celebration and then sold as silkscreen prints. I wouldn't want these hanging in my room, though.

so much odd

Thanks Karl, for yet another project featuring Baptiste.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2011

Sarah Burton is carrying on McQueen's legacy with flair. Her latest collection meshes feminine fabrics and edgy details. My favorite piece is a dress constructed out of lavender, tulle-like fabric, cut into fine strips and layered to create a soft, velvety looking texture. The flounce skirt and soft edges of the dress remind me of fabric floating underwater�this juxtaposes nicely with the hardwear-heavy, futuristic ankle boots that complete the look. Gawd I am sewww pretentious.

A Letter to Terry Richardson

Dear "Uncle Terry,"

There is a difference between "art" and pictures of naked girls sticking their fingers into your mouth and squirting cow's milk into their own. You say all your models "have fun" on your shoots, so why is it that numerous girls have come forth with stories about your lecherous abuse? I don't know, maybe we're all taking this too seriously � maybe we should "get a life," as you told the young model who voiced discomfort at having her nude photograph published without consent. You know, maybe we're all prudes and we totally don't understand your super humorous and ironic tongue-in-cheek work. But when major models such as Rie Rasmussen and Coco Rocha call you out on your inappropriate behavior and state that they do not want to work with you again, you should dig way back into your tiny little mind and maybe consider what you are doing wrong. And after reading this article, as well as this one, and thousands more, you really should reconsider your life. 

byeee!

I really wish celebrities would stop agreeing to work with Richardson. As he photographs an increasing number of celebrities and famous models, his reputation as a respected photographer is reinforced. Prominent figures in the fashion industry need to start calling Richardson out on his creepy perverted dirty-old-man behavior � ignoring it is not going to do any good.

Rodarte for Opening Ceremony, Emilio Pucci Fall 2011

I took a look at Rodarte's collection for OC, and I am kind of disappointed. I guess I shouldn't have expected the bargain prices of Rodarte's collaboration with Target. The cheapest Rodarte x OC piece costs $110, and it's a pair of "tattoo tights." Basically, they are sheer tights with designs on them that are supposed to look like tattoos once you put them on. (A few Etsy sellers have been touting tackier versions of Rodarte's for months.) Opening Ceremony also stocks non-collaboration pieces by Rodarte and there are actually a few things cheaper than $110 � pencil cases, notebooks and tee-shirts with "RADARTE" (no typo) printed on them. Yay let's go buy a Rodarte pencil case guyz! It comes stocked with Rodarte pencils and a Kurt Cobain eraser!

Tattoo tights, purchase here.

I also took a look at Emilio Pucci's Fall 2011 collection which was an uplifting experience. Classic Pucci prints (some hand painted), exquisite detailing, velvet, and lace accents. The collection is rich, and I know I used the word rich to describe Oscar de la Renta's fur lined excess, but each are completely different � while I want to pull de la Renta's plush pieces closer, each dress from Pucci's latest collection is more suited as a piece of art not to be toyed with.

Photos: I found them on my desktop; they are a few weeks old so I honestly don't know where I found them. I feel so irresponsible. 

Guo Pei Haute Couture

This stuff makes Paris Couture shy in comparison. The pieces are so extravagant, and the platform heels are so high that each model is forced to gingerly amble down the runway. Take a look at Guo Pei's Haute Couture show, "The Arabian 1002nd Night" below:

The gold detailing is amazingly exquisite.

Carmen Dell'Orefice walked Guo Pei's runway in a fur trimmed cape that was so heavy, it required escort by two men as well as two boys in the back pushing the train. 

I found this somewhere online and I actually adore it.
