Marisa and I are in the home stretch of finishing the zine! We are so in love with all your stories; it's SO GOOD!
Soon it will be available for purchase and we will have all the info for you..stay tuned.

EDIT!!! We're in the April issue of Interview! Page 52, bitches!!!!! (with the old cover we had to make to have SOMETHING for press!)

ALSO!!!

If you didn't know, or forgot, or just like to be reminded:

We are having a First Kiss HAPPENING at the 92YTribeca on May 26th !

A few of the contributors (Gavin McInnes, Tavi, Lesley Arfin, Doree Shafrir, Emily Gould, Jon Caramanica, Ashley Merriman...to name a FEW) will be reading/reenacting/submitting videos of their kisses...it is going to be A TIME.

I would buy your tickets now, or be realllllly sad to miss it.

where is the baby

IT JUST HIT ME.

All my nostalgic teen-years angst comes crashing to a hopefully spectacular freakshow of screaming insanity TONIGHT. At Terminal 5. When me, Marisa, Kara, Emily, and Doree go see HOLE.

I really can't remember being this excited about an EVENT* in a longass time.



When she sings this song -and she better sing this song- I am gonna freak out. BIG TIME. CROWD SURF. GET WEIRD. You've all been warned.

The last time I saw Hole PROPER (not counting her surprise Lolla perfomance, or any other weird industry party things) was at Roseland in 1995, Live through this tour. I guess I should wear the barrettes I bought there tonight?

*except for First Kiss at 92YTribeca, DOY

kkkinda busy

OMG IT'S HERE.

BRB, spending rewatching it 300 times and making an epic post.

OH PS THANKS STEF, MAKE A LONGER FUCKING VIDEO WHY DON'T YOU? Geeez.

rah rah ohmahgah

This is what we talk about when we talk about GENIUS.

GAGA BARBIES. Holy fucking moly. He has DIY notes and turtorials on his flickr as well!
I am speechless and full of awe and envy. 'veik11', I SALUTE YOU.

Now you know what I want for Christmas.

thanks kara!

"the ringer is the uniform for indie rockers"

I can't fully form sentences after watching this House of Style clip from 1994. (theme of the weekend, apparently)



The launch of x-girl!

Pregnant Kim Gordon ("I hope she's a riot grrl!"), Sofia + Spike Jonze still together and sooo young, Chloe Sevs in the runway show, shoutout to Sofia's friend "Marc Jacobs", Bull in the Heather video, X-LARGE/Liquid Sky shoutout! Oh god it goes on and on, THIS IS EVERYTHING.

If you were ever curious about my 10th grade style and aspirations...watch this video and you will know. Where is all my x-girl clothing?!?

Thank you, THANK YOU for sending me this Marisa, you just made my LIFE.

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?

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 !!

it seems like years ago already

i am SO BEHIND. so so so very blogbehind.
this FASHION WEEK we speak of, it's all a whirlwind of people and flashes and smalltalk and taxis and derek blasberg obsessively tweeting tavi's every move (does someone have a crush?)

i am gonna try to stick to chronology but time may get a tad ELASTIC on here in the days to come, bear with me please.

lets start with:
the party, the POP party. friday night.
larry gagosian's house. (when i say "house" i mean, HOUSE. elevator, sick art, amazing furniture..a swimming pool wth a clear plastic cover that coubled as dancefloor? NO BIG DEAL)

i, of course, danced most of the time? and didn't really take pictures?


me & laia, wine wine wine

i met gwen stefani and her huband BUSH. they look exactly like papparazzi photos of them; quite attractive. bjork was there and sofia coppola and proenzas and like, everyone?
i met MARYKATE which was sorta epic.


covergirl in rodarte

i tried to work up the courage all night to say something ANYTHING to olivier zahm, but i chickened out. and he was too busy dancing with daphne guinness ANYWAYS.


laia's boots

once my I R L friend alex "new haircut" hawgood showed up i was a crazed out dance machine. alex even got tavi out on the floor and totally made her kick out the jams.


alex. yohji anorak, ok? don't worry about it.

the amount of art in this house made my heart happy and hurt at the same time. so much goodness on every wall. the room we checked our COATS in was full of like, 30 warhols. amaze.


kate, shortstack, father of shortstack

laia & i stayed laaaaaaaate late with our POPgal becks and larry himself. talkin music and 90s.
you know why i loved larry gagosian? BECAUSE LARRY GAGOSIAN LOVES THE 90S.
to quote him:
"i love the 90s. they were just like the 70s but with tons of cash"
and i died.


hiding, gossiping, nerd alerting

the big time

hey so..remember when i went to london in june?
i was working on a spesh lil project that will be in here:



the new revamped POP magazine !
i haven't seen it yet but inside there should be a ZINE made by me and tavi and laia and eden...(please someone in london send me scans until i can buy one??)

oh, and YES that is TAVZ on the cover, you aren't seeing things.
so this week she not only started 8th grade but she is on the cover of a major fashion magazine, NO BIG DEAL.

PS since she is poised to become a star on a mega level, can i get a HOLLER for doing her FIRST PRESS EVER- A YEAR AGO? in a little thing called the new york times? just saying.
only tavi STARTS with the times and goes from there.

i'm so proud of her and i'm so proud of all of us that worked on this project and i can't wait to see the issue!

targarte?!

WHOAAAAAA. time to get my head out of the gypsy caravan and back into the FASHION CIRCUS.

rodarte for target? (targarte? ro-targ-et? what?)

i die x 500 jillionsquillion.

rollin' old school

still recovering multiple drinks last night with one of my oldest friends, ted aka theodore james aka teddy p.



we became best friends after we sat next to each other in algebra [EDIT: ted says geometry. hmm.oopsydoops] in 10th grade, no big deal.
i think we were the two worst students in the class.

i spent most of high school driving around in his car.

holy fucking nostalgia overload.
how about a picture of us from junior..prom? semi-formal? i have no idea actually.



a few HILARIOUS DETAILS to note:
my dyed black hair (and bjork buns)
lots of rings, def black fingernails.
weird chinese dress - from pearl river, probz
the glamorous cafeteria setting
ted's...spike haircut?

ps,
i am sure if i'd been in a different dress i'd be wearing a choker.
god i love a choker. like, a black velvet ribbon? SICK!
dang!
BRING BACK CHOKERS!

this has been a public service announcement for "unfortunately named trends you'd rather forget that i think are actually kinda dope?".

chokers in 09!!

pps: ted's take on WHITE LIGHTNING: "i have no fucking CLUE what the hell you are talking about 90% of the time, lizzie. i seriously can't understand a word."

aww, he still reads it though, how's that for a real friend?

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

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


dirty mirrors, very hot right now

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!

poke her? i don't even know her*

i mean..i don't know what happens now.



KANYE. and GAGA.
TOGETHER.
IN MUSIC, IN LIFE, IN MY DREAMS, IN REALITY.

what do i do? cry then die?
end the blog?
end the world?

if mark ronson remixes this,
and then chuck bass guest deejays somewhere,
and PLAYS the remix,
then..THEN..THENNNN...then the ground might open up and swallow us all whole.
the beautiful end, my friends.

BUT UNTIL THAT DAY, dear readers...why don't you poke her face? (click that link, brahs! kid cudi featuring kanye, 'I POKE HER FACE'...there's even a TI shout out. headspinning.)

*dad jokes, anyone?

credit in the straight world

ohhhh HO....i KNEW there was a reason to be a packrat.
lookit what i found this morning!!!


(sorry bout the shitty iphone pic)

that, my dearests, is a pink HOLE baby barrette with gold glitter.
yes, you heard me right.

purchased in feb. 1995 during the 'live through this' tour.
the show was at roseland, and i went mainly as the 15 year old chaperone for my 13 year old sister and her friend (eva?) that were DYING to go.

what if i wore this thing???
dear god i hope i have a kid someday that cares about all this junk.

**EDIT: i love finding out that friends i have NOW like elizabeth and trudy were at that show too !! yahhhhhh!

*also found: sailor moon barrettes, a backstage pass for lollapalooza 94, and a smashing pumpkins guitar pick that billy corgan HIMSELF gave me. will be posted another day!

i'm gonna live forever?

if you were to check my ANALYTICZ right now...you would see this:



it goes on for pages.

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.
i mean, i have a 'kanye' TAG, for the love of pete.
i think you are the marc jacobs of hiphop, pop culture remixer that gives it back to the masses. i honestly think we could be bff.
but, you know. maybe you're a little upset with me right now. oopsydoops?

white lightning is all about love, believe.

ps, if you get a chance..can you pass my link to lady gaga? theeeenks
