the impossible project

I've just finished Day 3 of my Topshop 1st Birthday Photog Gig...What a TRIP !

I am taking on average 600 pictures a day...so fun and just a teensy bit exhausting.
FYIslers- standing around for 9 hours makes your entire body sore. This is possibly due to the fact that I insist on wearing giant wedges even though I am standing around for 9 hours...sue me, I like the height.


Here is my biggest problem right now: EVERYONE LOOKS DOPE. How do I choose my favorites for each day? I mean...just ONE ???

I have so many pics to post..here is a little sampling until I can get everything up tomorrow night!

THANKS FOR BEING SO PHOTOGENIC, TOPSHOPPERS !

xo,
W.L.

PS. Topshop will be posting ALL the pics on their Facebook page...

they grow up so fast?

WHO WOULDA THUNK that the teenytinypocketsized 11 year old that I encountered when I wrote about her brand spankin newfound interest in this "fashion" stuff for the New York Times LO ALL THAT TIME AGO...

Would now be causing INTERNATIONAL FASHION FRENZIES on TWITTAAAA with her Stepehen Jones feather bow?

TAVS. FRONT ROW AT DIOR HAUTE COUTURE. LIKE A PERFECT EASTER PACKAGE

KILLING IT, TAVI. KILLING IT. I mean, why not. IF YA GONNA BE FRONT ROW, BEEEE FRONNNTT ROWWWWWW.

THEY AREN'T REALLY THAT FAR APART IN AGE, ARE THEY. WHY IS THAT WEIRD?

When she emailed me about being gifted the hat yesterday, I didn't even imagine it to quite that scale. SILLY ME.

REALNESS CORNER: IF STEPHEN JONES GIFTS YOU A MOTHERFUCKIN HAT, YOU WEAR THAT SHIT! Trues n fax. C'mon now.

important: beauty notes

When I saw this picture in a tabloid a few weeks ago, I had an apoplectic seizure of joy.

A SOUPÇON OF CHOLITA

Not only because MKO is wearing a perfectional animal print coat, one of which I am D-DYING for 

 ELIZABETH & JAMES LEOPARD SWING COAT. I'VE WORN ONE AND IT RULES, TRUST.

(incidentally, the one I want most is from her and Ashley's Elizabeth & James label, PLEASE SEE ABOVE...but I digress)

...but I am loving this pseudo-Chola lip situation. Let me note that in the tabloid, her lip looked MUCH more dark outline than it does there, and I am going with that.

I gave it a try the other night while slightly intoxicated and highly curious. Oddly compelling.

I have a feeling that much like my high-heeled Docs & Margiela platforms, favorite denim bubbledress and Coogi sweater, I may need to file this look under "Shit I Dig That Guys Find Hot Not At ALL" AKA the "Fuck You, I Love It" list.

One last note...Brand new Proenza is dope (Ashley), really,  but MK really is my Queen of Killing It. Weirdos FTW (the most appropz use of dorky internets slang ever).

Wait, one REALLY last note: MATCHING BAGS. Dieeeeeee-ing.

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.

platinum

la linda will be in the next issue of V magazine. this opening spread kinda stopped me, i love when she gives I WILL KILL A BITCH face:



sebastian faena // sofia achaval

this is some twisted fairytale vermeer shit, so great right?

i need to go on a SEPTEMBER ISSUES hunt out here in hippie loveland.
i mean, they have a store here that only sells ZINES but to find an issue of PURPLE may prove difficult...what a world we live in.

homeskis, i am so so so feeling giles resort !


giles / resort 2010

something about pixie's off kilter cutieness is giving me a total vibe of the UBERiconic corinne day kate moss photo...with maybe a soupçon of the juergen teller courtney love photos i posted the other day?

either way i am totally lusting after all this kooky pinkness. i mean, those SUNGLASSES?
hand 'em over, geldof!

i wanna hold 'em like they do in texas pleeeeez. feel me, gaga?

oh hey, guys! didn't see you there.

sorry, i'm just kinda DISTRACTED with JOY over this GIANT CRAZY INSANE AMAZING LEATHER HEADBOW that Sunshine made me!
i'm just like, being cool. acting cooler.
i mean...as cool as it is to play dressup in your apartment and photograph it.
you know how i do.

mah mah mah whaaaaa? [BE JELZ GURL, i told you i would best you!!]


EDITOR'S NOTE..christballz, do i have a fucking lazy eye?! SEXXXY! CALL ME, YOU LOVE IT.

i also got a few lovely lil trinkets in the package..dope patches, a heart charm that says SWEET (love it!!!) and a pearl jangle. not pictured: a tiny pin version of the hairbow, i left it at work!



it made my LIFE, trust.

if you guys are not familiar, sunshine is one of my serious bloggirl crushes.
i discovered her on wardrobe remix a year or so ago and have been lurking on her blog, blog full of jelly, for forevs.

1. she is the vintage queen. her clothes, her house, her everything is so covetable and cool.
2. she is totally a kindred spirit..i love what she wears cuz it's always a little off kilter and girlfriend loves a crazy frock just as much as me! (click it, check her out)
3. she MAKES amazing shit too! knits, crochets, paints, sews, etc. renaissance gal. (click it, buy some art!)
4. PERFECT BANGS?!

some of my favorite sunshine moments (there are so many. i had all of these in a folder. i'm a weirdo):



1. vintage WILMA intargia sweater and a shiny skirt?! stop it.
2. SHE MADE THAT DRESS out like 800 million yarns. SO BEST!



1. polyester minidress amazing whuuuuuut
2. 60s brocade coat as dress and wellies. hearts forever.

thank you thank you thank you, Sunshine.
i love it!!!!
xoxo

oh ps..the dress i am wearing in the pictures came out of last sunday's thriftacular with the boys..it's amazing, it's caché (hee!), it's waaaay cooler than i am.
this dress deserves to be rocking it out in an underground danceparty at 5 AM surrounded by beauties in 600 shades of black and ripped tights and sick haircuts...which is why it's getting mailed out monday to Zana in berlin who will do it serious justice. i can't wait to see it on her!

jealousy piece
