Dora's Still Out There

In lieu of another warmhearted posting that might leave you questioning the severity of this cutting edge blog, today is dedicated to The Spits and also to the awesome Laura Hadar and her SLC store Fice, because Hadar loves The Spits and her store is where I shot this photo. Here's to doing what you want and wearing blood while you do it.

El Dia del Poncheco!

Today is a most special day in this cold, cold world. Today is the Birthday of Mrs. Melanie Holland Greco, ruler of the universe and definitely my nicest friend.
To the BFF that has softened my blackened heart to bubblegum and pop music, Los Angeles side-streets, foot long cups in Vegas, good tequila, day-long bathrobe lounging, hot-wing sauce, kiddie pools, Coco LaFleur and more, may you have what can only be the best day ever. Viva La Poncheco!

Der Himmel über Berlin

Last night I watched Wim Wenders' "Wings Of Desire" and it is totally reminding me how I sometimes want to pack all my s*** and move to Berlin.

The Mirf!

2 more of my favorite New Yorkers, Mint and Serf, a.k.a. Merf, have done up the windows of the Marc Jacobs store in SoHo, for MJ's Spring 2010 campaign. It looks f****** awesome. I love it when fashion tries to strike the heart of a sub-culture by getting all urban. At least I can count on Marc Jacobs to go for the cream of the crop. I'm confused though- is it Spring yet? I don't even think we've had Daylight Savings and its still like 40 degrees in NY. Anyway, I'm just glad I have this photo of them from back in the day (Naggy in the middle looking sharp!).

Told you all my friends are famous!

You Be The Judge!

I somehow found myself on the Flowbee website this morning (don't judge me) and came across this riveting exchange between the owner of the Flowbee hair cutter/vacuum system-Rick Hunts and the Robo hair vacuum cutter. 

Flowbee's an American classic that doesn't take to lie-tellers, so Hunts took to the official Flowbee website to set the record straight. 
This is some high drama beauty industry gossip that I am proud to be reporting...

Here's the posting from the actual Flowbee website and below are some videos to help you draw your own conclusion. Who you side with is up to you...

This Is So Disco

I know this posting actually has nothing to do with Jeremy Scott, but I'm certain he too has a special place for the nightlife, so he seemed my natural choice for October 10th, and today's dedication to Alicia Bridges.

If I had to choose between them in a fight I'd pick him, but I love this song...

Ayn Rand Can You Hear Me?

I've been making my way through Ayn Rand's epic 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, so obviously, I'm leaning towards the philosophical tip as I wrap up the last chapter. The whole book's been reminding me of this Polaroid from Italy circa 2004. It's the perfect excuse to post something in the name of stopping the motor of the world!

At the moment, John Galt is sounding off to the nation and I'm fully into Rand's totally far-out, intentional, Godless, free-thinking, all-to-rare mind. I love this lady.

Hopefully when she died in 1982, she died happy and secure in her "Objectivism" ways, because 52 years ago, homegirl definitely caused a ruckus in the God-fearing US of A and I'd hate to think there's no peace in the end for a gal like that. Either way, Im just glad she left the book, some good interviews and an especially fierce footprint from the intellectual mind of the Old-World.

90 Days Later

I knew when I found this photo buried under papers this morning it was my disastrous blog starring me in the face, disguised as two of my favorite New Yorkers. And yes- even though 3 months have passed, and the colors of the leaves are turning (not in LA, but in some places!)-it is never to late for Criag Wetherby and Amy Gunther to make a surprise appearance and remind me to get back on the wagon and post some more 600s. So here's to the king of NY and my all-time favorite skate-shop ever, KCDC. Here's to Wu-Tang, photo shows, Jedi mind-tricks, knowing DVF's secrets, running your own business, going back to school and being a hot babe. May this post lead to another...
