Last night was...a success? To say the least? I had so much fun and as usual my friends are the best of the best, and not only showed up but a lot of you STAYED til the bitter, sweet n vicious end.

THANK YOU! And thank you every else who came. Bigger post and better shoutouts to come this weekend.

PS....POP gave Tav, Laia and myself these cameras during fashion week, but I didn't find film for it until 2 days ago. (You can also get it at Urban Outfitters i think?)



If you want to get in on this tinyfilm situation...I highly recommend it.
People were freaking over this thing! It is a lichubbchubb plastic cute thing, I have to say. And the pics are SO crisp. LOVE IT! I've been missing instant film gratification in my life.

BON WEEKEND!

random details

If you are not all familiar with Arielle De Pinto,you should be. We first met at the infamous crafternoon at Keren's house, the one where I made a giant hair bow out of hair to match my hair. Yah , that one.

A brief reenactment of our meeting:
ME: "So..what are you doing right there, exactly?"

ARIELLE:"Crocheting metal chain into amazing necklaces and facemasks and body drapings. And what is that thing in your hand again?"

ME: "Oh, cool. This? This is 2 dollar hair from the Dominican hair supply store. I am going to make a giant hairbow out of it to wear out in public. On my own head."

AND SO WE BECAME FRIENDS.


silver n gold crocheted arielle de pinto pouch jangle / nirvana croptop / philip lim 3.1 shinygold skirt



The best thing about this lil pouch is that it fits my tiny comb perfectly (supes necessary to keep bangs in line).



Everybody wants to get in on this action.



Pam Grier likes to wear it all the time. Bitch is always borrowing my shit.

they don't make 'em like this anymore

How about d-d-dying just a little bit on this horribly rainy Thursday ? [ED NOTE: it is actually Wednesday. SHTOOPS. I am nothing if not ON POINT]



Wowowow! Catherine Deneuve is just like me! I, too, dislike very much familiarity and love elusive people (Wait, do I? Catherine is just so seductive, I will go along with it).

IS LADY GAGA LIVING HER LIFE BY WAY OF MY BLOG?
Answer: No, not at all but omigod let's pretend for a SECOND.

After a tour announcement with Kanye (no more), NEW tour with Kid Cudi (still cant get over) now...now..NOWWWWWW we have this.


BATTLE OF THE BOWZ

The LADY GAGALOO will be on GOSSIP GIRL in NOVEMBER.
i CAN'T. Can you??! I mean. CAN YOU?

I would like to be honest with all of you. I have been preparing an obituary post for Gossip Girl. I sadly cannot take it anymore. I miss the uniforms. It's not the same and it just kinda...sucks.

But this. THIS i will tune in for and you bettaahhhhh BELIEVE that i will do the most epic recap of my blogging life.

I will try to stop hyperventilating by admiring my gorgeous photoshop brushwork on the photo above. SANTO DIOS, this is exciting.

so bestest

That is IT, I am officially reinstating the Sassy magazine "Cute Band Alert". Here is a realllly good one for ya.
Last night I went to see HarMar at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, and was BLOWN AWAYYYYYY by the opening band.

BANG BANG ECHE!


HOW CUTE ARE THEY? Their EP is called Sonic Death Cunttt. Hilars.

They fucking ROCKED...cute kiwis jumping and thrashing around the stage, we were all dancing. GREAT LIVE SHOW! Best new band I have seen in a while, TRUST!

Emily and I were soooo pysched on T'Nealle, the female bass player (DOPE)..she was super rad and had a little white bow in her hair, girlcrush!


I might need to get this tonight

Afterward, I saw said New Girlcrush and as I was going to grab her and tell her how great she was, she ran up to ME and said "Elizabeth??? Are you White Lightning?" GAH, YES I AM.
She and her bandmates told me they love White Lightning and I basically turned fifty shades of red. So cool...Mutual appreciation club!


ADORBZ, right?

I just checked her blog, and I think I fell in love after reading How to Make a Pizza Bagel. Can you tell I am psyched on these kids? Just come see them tonight at Mercury Lounge! I will definitely be there.

Because, REALLY: Do you wanna miss THIS?


Photo from last night, from T'Nealle's blog

I mean..he did BOYZ II MEN, A CAPPELLA! Epic. Veevs and I tipped our 40s appropriately.
Sooo... I guess I'll see you THERE then? Great.

you better be there

Me & Veevers are hosting this THANG for BeautyChannel...So are you coming or what?



RSVP to lgovea@studiobeautymix.com

If you don't come I am like, never talking to you ever again. Be Fri necklace half in trash.
PS- Can I get New York bloggers up in here or what? I want to meet yous !

bifurcation nation

I am really tackling new frontiers this week...Get ready for it:

PANTS! Omigod.



If I am only going to own ONE pair of pants, I am pretty comfortable with it being Peggy Noland dropcrotch cheetah print ones with kneepatches and 2 sets of pockets. (the 2nd set are at the knees, duh).



Purchased at Peggy's boutique in Kansas City diuring the Vagabond Tour of Summer 09. I wore them all weekend and found them to be an absolute DELIGHT, if not QUITE the conversation starter.

Please note my bloglove doppelganger (bloggelganger?) in the top photo, Miss LouLou of LouLouLovesYou. Lou was in town for an all-to-brief visit from Londontown and not only did we get on famously, but we realized we look more than a lil bit alike? WEIRRRDDDDD! (But she has a much nicer accent and more alabaster complexion- jealz!).

PS In case you missed it the first time around, my lil interview with Peggy from July, girlcrush to the max.

pig in da city

I know you all have your countdown clocks at the READY, one week until I am ONE YEAR OLDER. Please stop wracking your brains, I have your gift right here:



MICRO PIGS! TEENY TINY TEACUP PIGLETSSSSSSS!

I mean, you guys...
MICRO PIGS!

Did you HEAR ME?

IT'S A PIG. and it fits in a TEACUPPPPPPPP!


Please meet Kurt Cobacon & King Vitamin.* Now GET IN THAT TEACUP.

Shit is BLOWIN UP.
I used to want a teepee. I used to want to live in one and stay there forever, wearing animal skins and smoking weed out of earth bongs but shit went too VIRAL- you can get one at Opening Ceremony in Tokyo and I saw teepee TATTOOS in Portland. PLAYED OUT, suckas.

But POCKET PIGLETS?
Mark my words dudes, those are the new TEEPEE.

Last weekend I saw a pig race at the NC state fair and I fell in hardcore likeylike with a potbellied piglet named #5 (Hunter said his name was Last Place. I don't care!)..he was so mellow and cool, ran the race and sauntered up the ramp back to his pen like, "Whatevs you guys, I didn't want those prize Cheetos anyways. What's on Bravo?".

It's in the ETHER. PIGS ARE IT!

PS *I can't take credit for the genius of the names. Whatevs, HUNTER..be smarter than me WHY DON'T YOU.

PPS I will mos def still eat bacon. Is that fucked?

mellowtronz

Although I have heretofore only like this name when it was preceded by the words "Sunny Day"..I think I am diggin on Real Estate. Good mellowtimes Sunday jam right here:



I kinda try to avoid the CMJ brouhaha, but it doesn't mean I don't PAY ATTENTION to what is the WHAT...I think these kids have been killing it the past few days, so sayeth the internets & twitterz.

They are about to start touring with GIRLS (and you KNOW how i feel about them!!), CAN'T wait to catch them at Bowery November 5 (and MAYYYBEEE on my birthday at Maxwell's?).

new is the new "new"

So the BOOTS make me dress differently...as I stated in a previous post..something about them makes me want to do weird longer lengths and odd shapes?



I found this "dress" at H&M for 10 dollars...I don't know if the greater public of NYC was ready for this jelly, this thing is just a giant rectangle with arms and pockets, and there were LOADS on the CLEARANCE rack...but I thought it had potential? And with the BOOTS in mind i got it.



Um..the first thing i did to it was take some scissors and cut 2 belt holes in the front and 2 in the back and ran this satin Chanel ribbon (where the fuck did this come from? NO idea, as I am sadly Chanel-less in my life) through the holes, with it being tied around on the inside, if you understand.



This thang needed SOME sort of shape to it, at least on a gal like me.



I have become a little obsessed with it.
This thing + boots + obnoxiously bright lipstick = TOTES Swedish shopgirl vibe!
i also feel lil Natalie Merchant-y, is that weird?

PS, I can't remember the last time my KNEES were covered. HOW DROLL!



Also obsessed with: My Katherine Fleming Kate bag in ELECTRIC YVES KLEIN BLUE. I love it, I love it SO MUCH. Every time I wear it, I get a million compliments (go forth to Barney's and PURCHASE, my dears)



Sidenote on this new vibe I am digging: It is most decidedly NOT dude apporoved. Not that I care much, but this dress is not really HOT.
Also, bros are weirdly ANTI on my dream boots! Hunter thinks they are the ugliest things ever and Hate Martin straight up LAUGHED at me! DUDES HAVE NO VISION! S'cool, I look down at them and feel giddy and that's all that matters.



This horse medallion remains the BEST jangle of all time, I have almost had it almost one year exactly (thank you AGAIN andreas, best gift status).

I may live in this outfit for a few more days, so if you were tryin to spot me in a crowd...it just got that much easier.

gatorz

Ok, i am not one to go all craytown on a weird logo situation, but this is just wayyyyyy too whatinthewhat not to be a little bit psyched on.

The Campana brothers, who make furniture out of stuffed animals and assorted other crazy shit, have done a shirt for Lacoste?

They made the wearable version of their Alligator chair, which looks like THIS:


and turned it into a shirt that looks a lil sumthin like THIS:



i MEAN...I don't want to lie to you all, as we are all BEST FRIENDS FOR LIFE..I think this is sick. I want to wear it. I want to TOUCH it.

And just for our Friday afternoon edification of crazy things to put yr fine ass on to:

TEDDY BEAR CHAIR & FLUFFY SHARK ATTACK



For the record: I would like my dining room to be a filled with these amazanariums. (Can i make them? what a DOPE crafternoon this would be...)

I would like to sit on squishy sharks and eat bermuda triangle pizza with hot pepper flakes and talk about nothing. Sidenote, this is making me hungry. I need to find good pineapple pizza round here. Sidenote to the sidenote: I need to also find a dining room.

pinky & leather

Today's adorbz 90s inspirationals come to you in the form of Tuscadero..anyone else remember them?!?



I was obsessed with the song Dime A Dozen in college (playing at the beginning of this clip). I have no idea what this "Slumber Party" show is but I am liking the plaid flannel pajama shirt look, maybe this is something to consider in my everyday?



I think the pink album may still stand up 10+ years later? At the very least Hollywood Handsome will still make you giggle (he's just so god damn hollywood handsome/too bad he just can't keep his pants on/better fuck him 'fore he's out of reach).

Find this shiz, thank me later!

so choice

THE BOOTS!
They are here. I HAVE THEM. And they are AMAZING.



Multiple outfit posts to come by the end of the week. Wearing these makes me dress differently; it's a look I call "Facehunter'd Swedish Shopgirl". It involves long lengths and odd shaped frocks. Obvi.

Thank you THANK YOU for sending these to me, Liz (and Crystal!)..you made my YEAR.

You all need these. Get them !!

living reflection of a dream

FACT: As long as I can keep myself in fluttersleeved polyester mini situations of the 1960s persuasion, I will be the happiest girl around.



I got this orangey dream number this weekend in North Carolina. I cut about 300 inches off of it as "maxi" and "midge" don't go so well together.
I can't remember the name of the store and I am ok with that, as the prices were somewhat WACK. But this DRESS..it was calling me and I couldn't say no! You understand.



Total Lady of the Canyon sleeves.



It's freakishly warm in NYC today so i went for tights full of holes. I think they're wool Wolford crochet, they're sort of great.



They look like rattan furniture from the Golden Girls' lanai (win, obvs).



I forget about these old Steve Madden fake Chloé black stompers..I wear the brown ones almost every day but the black ones get no love.
I cut their tongues out cuz I'm a fashion sadist.
Plus then they look like mary-janes.



My dress makes me wanna listen to Tangerine all day. You should do it too, TWINTIMES.

duh-duh-duh-dope

Where have I BEEN? I escaped the citayyyy for a few to chill in da dirrty souf. Doin shit like sleepin in a tent and makin mulled wine (highly recommended).

OTHER ACTIVITIES:

Just carved my first pumpkin for the first time since middle school and it is sort of RAD, NO BIG DEAL.

Whatcha think?



Gagaloo The Great (White) Pumpkin!
Alexander Wang shades & au courant head accoutrement, obvi.

Please realize that I cannot stop laughing at it. Sometimes I love how shtoops I can be.



Hunter made a Nirvana face-0-lantern, I wish you could see it in the dark, it is sooooo good. Mabes better than mine but don't tell him I said that.

Wanna make your own? All you need is a white pumpkin, serial killer knife handling skills (apparently I weild a knife in a disturbing way), a boy to trace the exact shape of the sunglasses you have requested, and a major case of the ridiculous.

make one!

let's hear it for new york

Oh, hi Sunday. Let's check in on what the Lady Ga has been up to, shall we?

FIRSTLY:



Bitch has kicked Kanye to the CURB, slipped into her most comfortable simple gyroscopic sphere and has announced her NEW tour..THE MONSTER BALL. Oh and just in case you didn't hear: opening act: KID CUDI. ( i know, i mean, GET OUT OF MY HEAD).

I must go to this, if only to report faithfully to all of you. It is my solemn DUTY, after i was a total loser at the SNL afterparty and let a lil thing like her TWO GIANT BODYGUARDS scare me off. pathetique.

SECONDLY and debatably MORE IMPORTANTLY...Gagaloo made a recent CAMEO at Max Fish and I was not there. THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET and the lunacy of Gavin McInnes, her appearance has been recorded for posterity over at StreetCarnage.
clicking that link will take you to the BEST WHITE LIGHTNING SHOUT-OUT OF ALL TIME. (I am actually dead after this, I am writing this blog post from the afterlife, we have wifi here)

the city never sleeps, better slip you an ambien

you guys know i am truly madly deeply about jay z...we all are, right?



yesterday i did a quick lil 8000 hour drive to north carolina and heard this song on the various radio stations oh ummmm about 10 times? IT IS SO GOOD! new headphone blaster staple.

for molinga

i like what i like

Looks that I have saved in a folder on my desktop called "Maybe I shouldn't, but I Tooooootally do"


VIKTOR & ROLF S/S 2010

I fully realize that this is a giant scrub brush Klaus Nomi dickie of a situation but i can't help myself. Can i rest my head on it WHILE I'm wearing it and take a lil disco nap? Fantasgreat.



PRADA S/S 2010

The Prada spring collection was pretty terrible, I think most people are feeling that way. But this shoe, while still TERRIBLE is still a TAD TERRIBLY AWESOME? Lucite, chandelier drops, VELCRO! Why does this get me excited? hahahaaa.


CHLOÉ S/S 2010

Don't get confused, I am not a fan of Hannah McGibbon era Chloé (i still miss you, Phoebe..Celine looks kinda rad, yaaaay) but. BUT! Much like the controversial (read:mostly hated) light denim-n-leather looks that i LOVED at Givenchy last spring, i am a sucker for almost barfy denim looks. This is sort of dope, i am sorry but IT IS. CHLOE SEVS will TOOOTALLLLY rock this shit and then you will all be like, oooommmg i need two tone denim kneecaps, toute suite. (sidenote, CSevs is the only person who wears current Chloé well. I stand by that). i shall thrift this shirt and rip off the pockets ASAP.


MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA S/S 2010

Question: Is this made of Fedex envelopes? Just wondering. I would wear pants if i could get my hands on this. Also- waterproof! That plus pink equals win/win.


CHARLES ANASTASE S/S 2010

Soooo totally unflattering and weird. Potato sack waders. SO wrong, why am i sooo drawn to them?



MARNI S/S 2010

Grandpa sock styling gets me every time.

sweden

I've recently come back to my long-ago serious obsession with the movie Blue in the Face..have you ever seen it? it's a semi-improv documentary style film set in Brooklyn, sorta about this cigar shop run by Harvey Keitel? I am not decribing it well. it's so strange and weird funny.

whoa, Madonna! Remember when her face looked like that?

There are all these weird cameos (um, Madonna? Roseanne?) but Lou Reed and Jim Jarmusch (hearts hearts hearts) steal the movie.

Jim Jarmusch, longtime fake babymaker fantasy

I decided I need to go out and rent this IMMEDIATELY (also need to buy Truth or Dare, HOW do i not own this already, i am a failure). There is a bizarre segment on belgian waffles?



Take 1:38 seconds out of your day and get into this. I think this is how i feel about New York these days? haaa.

bust

nooooo cmonnnn, NOT COOL!



i mean wtf, tom colichz?! ruin my wednesday nights WHY DON'T YOU.

bye bye, ashley...i will keep my crush going strong. i mean really..call me.

a pretty good day

wow wow wow !




white lightning made it into the Telegraph's top 20 fashion blogs!

congrats to the others on the list-
tavi, susiebubble, yvan facehunter, the moment and other blogs i totally love. SO exciting!

i need new ways to say GIMME THAT

i hope you weren't so put off by the weird furry neo-uggs and questionable use of a cavaricci-esque pant so as to miss the BEST THING ABOUT LOUIS VUITTON (save the afros, doy):


LOUIS VUITTON S/S 2010

these hairytail JANGLEBAGS are my new EVERYTHING.

GIANT JANGLES THAT HAPPEN TO BE BAGS!
they can hold things, but not too many things. flat things. like your phone and some necco wafers, no cash though because you spent it all on giant racoontailz.

DEAR MARC JACOBS, PLEASE SEND ME ONE...please?

brokeness is the mother of invention

i am a total shaolin craftmaster, behold my MONKEY'S FIST !



i totally made that thing! crafternoon at keren's house.

100 ft of rope from the hardware store on bedford ave ($11.00) + keychain ($2.50) + youtube videos of knots = DOPE!



it's not perfect but its pretty cool.



looks like i bought it somewhere, no? (tell me sweet little lies!)

i also invented this thing:



the hangman's telephone cord noose jangle? i don't know.



i have like a million more feet of rope, gonna try and make more jangles! it's kinda fun.

ps i am totally incapable of taking photos without making a face today, sowwy
