Japanese street style + blue hair is good stuff

I'm dying my hair blue (or red or purple) at some point this year...

joy!

Comme des Garcons in Sept Vogue! Wooh! Fall!

varsity jacket

I love varsity jackets, I ordered a leopard print one from Tucker that I will hopefully be getting in fall and I am so so excited! I want to stencil a witty saying on the back too....

irreg. program

I feel like fashion blogging sorta lags during august, everyone just wants it to be fashion week and/or looks forward to what their wearing in fall. SO its art time! EXCITEMENT! Because art is always happening! These are some of my favorite artists:
1 is by Shepard Fairey (who does the "OBEY" propaganda type graffiti all over the city)
2 and 10 are by Ed Templeton
3, 4, 5, 8, 9 are by Steve Powers or "ESPO" which is his tag
6 and 7 are by Chris Johanson
11 and 12 are by Barry Mcgee (who's graffiti name is "Twist")
13 and 14 are by Nolan Hendrickson

The first five all grew up being punks/skateboarders/graffiti artists in the 90's and moved to new york and became artists, Nolan Hendrickson lives in nyc and recently had a show at Ramiken Crucible.

syndrome symptoms and run-ons

I have Jackass (mostly Steve-O) , Z-Boys (mostly Jay Adams) and furry leopard print items obsession. Probably because I'm reading this book on psychology that talks about drug/alcohol addiction (which explains the Steve-O and Jay Adams part, also the post title...), and I ALSO learned how to (really terribly) skateboard! The leopard print thing is just cause I'm sorta an old crazy lady who ought to be wearing leopard print muumuus while drinking and making weird art projects and (leopard print) clothes for her (leopard print) cats. GRAY GARDENS IS MY CALLING

menswear: plans, wishes and ruined dreams

This fall I am so loving Japanese mens street style (as always) but I am also now appreciating details, like socks (CDG RTW 08) and pockets (like the 3.1 Phillip Lim blazer lined with sequins) and jewelery ect! I liked this Kate Loves Me photo with the pin in the sock and am on a quest for little knick-knacks to pin on my socks... probably not crosses...

also the Lords of Dogtown z-boys have great style. If I were to make a menswear line it would so be based off them.

These amazing mens Acne leopard print desert boots are conveniently sold out everywhere. ef!
