good girls gone bad

What? Can you SAY that AGAIN? I'm sorry, can you speak up? I can't HEAR YOU over the CLOPCLOPCLYDESDALECLOMPING of my INSANE MARGIELA PLATFORMS.



I may have lost the "line", as it were. These are really not shoes for any sort of sane lifestyle- GOOD THING I DON'T LEAD ONE.



I have been stalking and daydreaming about the brown leather sandal version of these (obvi, Jane has a pair) and when Stevie DRAGGED me to the Margiela sample sale on Saturday, I had a minor cardiac infarction when I learned that they not only had them, but they were 70% off.

ALAS, dear readers..the size gods were not on my side (although they were a perfect size for Kat and so we got her a pair).



Instead I came away with these white leather & wooden platformed bananaboats. In my mind they are Lady Miss Kier by way of a Japanese Ganguro girl times a rebigulator (that is the machine that makes things giant, duh). Not only did I score some badonkers Margiela for $89 American, I am CRAZY TALL when I wear them and that is always ALWAYS awesome.

camouflage for crazy people

Why don't I wear this more? (I have blogged it before and I think that was the last time!)



Serrrrrriously
NEON pink cotton lycra dress with equally neon...trout? on it: Betsey Johnson archive (dont say vintage say ARCHIVE! TRES CHIC!).
This is early 80s Betsey...superfave of mine. I bought it in 2002 at a vintage store in the east village that isn't around anymore..I think it was like, 40 dollars or something insane like that.



I walked 3 blocks to a Duane Reade today and everyone stared at me.
It's pretty intense in the light of day, I will admit.

Should I wear it to my tarot reading tomorrow?

gaga, ooh la la

THIS IS IT, FRIENDS.
This is the moment.
If you love fashion, and don't love GAGALOO TOO..then you don't get the joke, you don't get the fun, you don't get the THING. You don't have to love the music (bad move) but you have to LOVE THE LOVE.

Today I watched the Lady's new video, Bad Romance and to quote Polly Mellon in Unzipped..IT CHANGED MY EYE. That is to say this shit is THE ONLY LEVEL.

This is also a pretty offish landmark for ol' Lady Gags- no more homemade couture "homage"... There is ALEXANDER MCQUEEN and it is REAL.

LET'S LET IT ALL IN:



FIRST SHOT: WE ENTER HEAVEN.
And HEAVEN looks like a Dolce & Gabbana ad! If you were wondering, I audibly GASPED when it started. I love.



Um, this is the only way to sit in a chair.



Mental note, dismantle old VCR and place parts on face, POST HASTE. [ED NOTE, eek they ARE razor blades. I am not that hardcore!] I mean, this is 30 seconds in and already 4000 mega fashion moments have happened.



But then..Que es esto, La Gaga? Nail mesh? (Is this also bizarre product placement?)

Oh, and if you were WONDERING Where the Wild Things Are?



They are here:



good grief, creeper latex Max costumes! Holy Whaaaa. WILD RUMPUS, INDEED.



Hey kids, REMIND ME TO D I for Y this kooky crown.



There is some sort of story in the vid of like..an overdose? Bad Romance indeed, Gags. This hair is neo-Frenchy-in-Grease. I want easter egg curls, i think. Anime freak eyeballs, mabes no.



Who's this guy? Is that couture headgear?



I am ready to move past this look. I call this "Hot Bod Gagalog", or "Dope Britney". it's sexxxay, but I need more. (...and more is coming, JUST YOU WAIT)



Oh hai.



PSSST i see you, MCQUEEN SHOE, I SEEEE YOUUUUU. (fashionforeshadowing!)



Sing alongggggg: I want your love and I want your revenge



I want your love, I dont wanna be friendsssssss



OK. I just got you started up, are you ready?
Ready for the MOST MAJOR MOMENT EVER?



FULL



MCQUEEN



HEAD TO MOTHERFUCKING ARMADILLO TOE !



McQUEENADILLOS!!!!!!

I mean, I CAN'T. Can you? I can't. I am so in love.
STOP THE WORLD. GAGA OWNS IT ALLLLLLL.
NO ONE can best this. NO ONE!

2 MAJOR song notes:
1. 1990s Madonna impersonation is reaching an all-time high in this jam AS IT SHOULD. She shouts, "Cuz I'm a free bitch, baby" and it sounds ZACTLY like M.
2. The french chorus at the end is hilarimazing. J'adoreeeeeeee.

There is some amazing shit at the end of the vid too- bitch shows her full ASS and sets herself on fire on a bear rug but like, after the McQueen-adillos I have nothing left. I feel like this:



I LOVE YOU, LADY GAGA.

they'll arrest you for wearing red shoes on a thursday

birthday mayhem in quogue for the enthusiast this past weekend. at the PARTY of the PARTY WEEKEND, there were multiple outfit changes made by most and at a certain point i had to document how fucking OUTSTANDING the girls that i am lucky enough to know are.



louise: this skirt is covered in JUNGLE ANIMALS. its a fucking topnotch THRIFT FIND from maine. die? oh and those ACNE laceup boots that i wannnntttttttt.



katkatkat, birthday girl!! umm FIRST? this is a DRESS. and SECOND it is vintage bill blass from her mom's closet. WIN! yellow espadrilles, i am sure they are from spain. a vision, as usual.



mercedez! i basically cried when i saw this dress because it is so up my alley. thrifted 70s polychiffon. with the sleeves and hem scissor chopped by cedez right before the party (just like i woulda done). bright green canvas wedges! shes so cute. i think we are kindred psychocolor sisters.

cuckoo print fanatics, all of us. quite drunk too at this point, OOPSYDOOPS.

i have no idea

somewhere around day 11 we were "losing the line"...the LINE being "NORMALCY".

our manners were headin downhill fast, we were talking way too loud everywhere and had weird inside INSIDE jokes that like, made no sense. ah, the weirdness that ensues when you spend 24 hrs a day with the same people for WEEKS.

i think it really came into play, FASHIONWISE, when we hit the thrifts in kentucky. our choices started getting really next levular.

not only did i put this outfit together, and not only did i think it was awesome, but so did jill & susan.



i mean...?

this is a silk bomber jacket that has a TIGER on the back.
and NEON YELLOW (the color is so off in this pic) volleyball shorts.
and the somewhat UNfeminine workboots i have gotten very attached to.
and my bra.

i know.
i mean...i know. WHAT?
i was LOVING IT.

i sent the pic to steve and bdonns and titled it "road dementia".
steve said ditch the jacket and be a fly girl, and brendan said not road dementia, road DARIA.

either way...this is now the only pair of shorts i own.

and i am not afraid to use them.
WATCH OUT, NEW YORK.

it's all happening

mmkayy soo....i guess i should write a big ol' post about this..and i will, in time.
but here is the major part to share for right now..thursday will be my last day at T !
so crazy. i've been here for four years, it's like graduating college or some shiz.

time to roll on...i have some really exciting summer plans coming and i will share it all soon.

today i am packing up my cubicle??? SO WEIRD, DUDES.


tavi's painting of me, our photo editor scott as a young lad, my fave marc jacobs ad, donald from the virgins by mr black

packrat + four years = good grief.


so. many. fucking. magazines.

i am determined to take only 3 boxes home.


a sisley ad that i find amusing, a self-portrait of yayoi kusama from the 60s, general mess

someone at work told me yesterday that i'm a living embodiment of a season finale of felicity.
THAT made me laugh.

ok, back to filling every garbage can on the 6th floor.

hairspray & denim

can ANY of you deny her any longer?
i don't recommend it.
let gaga into your life, feel the sweet warm light of her SATURN SPACE HELMET surround you:



when someone asks:
what does one wear to perform on ELLEN?
obviously the answer is:
a denim patchwork melange of a jumpsuit, avec IMPORTANT SHOULDER, bien sur (this sentence includes all the french i know).



she is a multitasker; downward facing GA..WHILE piano playing!!

okay SJAGAGA*, if you are trying to trip me up by WEARING PANTS..i may have to say WELL PLAYED. i don't own any and i am not starting now.

GAGA 1, WL 0.

but THIS ISN'T OVER, STEF.

ps, my friend mark is interviewing her today, (in the cuckoobananies flesh!) and i fear my jealousy cannot be contained.

*Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta?! good grief. "elizabeth nicole spiridakis" doesn't seem so insane all of a sudden, now does it.

i mean...dying. kinda want my bangs like this? (jk..not jk...jk-ish?)



ps, his name is PAISLEY.
of course it is, what else would it be.

thx, stevie

apparently, being tough yields neil diamond records & multiple sequined items.

why's everyone searchin WHITE LIGHTNING?

ohhhh umm hmmm because none other than the KANYE WEST mentioned me on his blog...he thinks i'm cool. (among other things...)

kanye, if you're reading this, i hope you realize that I LUH YOU.
