We Suck Young Blood

Me for a fur company in 2006. I am a faux fur girl all the way, but I can't resist leather.

I wish winter really looked this glamorous. Lies, lies, lies. The reality is dry cracked skin, and a gross runny nose. This picture was taken Summer 2006. Isn't fashion grand?

I am pretty clueless when it comes to this Twilight thing... all I know is the film's talented makeup department did a fantastic job making the actors look as hollow and pale as inhumanly possible. In the spirit of this New Moon frenzy..this is the most vampiric I've ever looked.

Rooftop

BCBG Leather Jacket, Juicy Couture Camo Thermal Zip, American Apparel Floral Lace Bra, DKNY Jeans, Ash Sneakers, F21 Ruffle Top, F21 Belt

I am into this BCBG leather jacket lately. When it's closed it gives off a Rick Owens vibe. In this photo it appears a bit boxy.

NYC has some breathtaking views. The other day I was up on my friends rooftop and got a chance to take in the city above street level. We were overlooking Central Park. On one side all you can see is glass and steel while the other side provides a stunning view of Central Park's foliage. I love this time of year.

This past weekend I went to the Brooklyn Museum to check out the Rock N' Roll Photography and New Feminist Video shows. Right up my alley. I was mildly disappointed by both shows. I expected a good selection of rock n' roll portraiture, but the show was mostly documentary photography. The feminist video show was decent. It was cool that they featured a lot of young female artists.

One of the major draws of the Brooklyn Museum is the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, a permanent place for feminist art in New York. The highlight is Judy Chicago's Dinner party.. (it is the equivalent of the Sistine Chapel for a feminist ). It gives me chills to think of the women who came together with all of their creativity and wide range of skills to create something so beautiful which pays homage to great women throughout history. If you've never heard of the Dinner Party, or if your only encounter has been a 3 by 5 triangle picture in a history book.. GO see it. If you live outside of of NY take the virtual tour here.

In Focus

Cozy outfit with a slew of old recycled clothes..the newest item being a 5 month old leopard top ($7 thrift shop score). This is my natural crazy hair. I need to be in the right mood. It kinda works with anything leopard.

A week from today (November 20th) my friend Tom's band is playing at Webster Hall Studio. You recall the "Dispartion" video a few posts down? I'll have an Ash Fox/Tit Tees merch table. Come on down and say "hi"!

Fall at the Shore

This photo was taken by director Robert Orlando on location for a commercial shoot we recently worked on.

I decided to post a few items for sale from my closet. You can check them out here!

November Snuck Up On Me

Bat Tee, Wrap Around Me long sleeve Tee, Marcus Humer leather cuff, Stuart Weitzman 50/50 Crocodile Boots, F21 round stud belt, racerback no name tunic, dance store leggings

I never got to wear my feline getup 'cause I was sick in bed with laryngitis. The last two weeks have been incredible despite losing my voice and having to compulsively blow my nose. Tis' the season..for colds. I've been working on some exciting projects that I'll be able to share with you very soon. Today is the first chance I've had to chill out and catch up on your blogs.

My friend took these photos of me last week to test his new camera. I love his sofa and all of the eclectic accents. My outfit is pretty much my uniform as of late. At night it's fun to come up with crazy outfits..but during the day I can't be bothered. I LIVE in these Stuart Weitzman 50/50 crocodile leather knee highs. When I bought them I wasn't in love with the price tag, but compared to the other knee highs they were the best value. I've had them for a year now and they've held up nicely considering I wear them about 4x a week. I now have my eye on the high hos's..similar boot except thigh high.

The Easiest Halloween Costume EVERRR

I whipped up this costume almost as fast as I whipped up this post.

I'm listing a special Feline Tee Halloween promotional price in honor.

Chrissie Cool

A thick tie usually brings to mind a wall street shark in an ill fitting, boxy cut suit..or Chrisse Hynde. She is one of the few people who can make a thick tie look cool. Beauty and confidence seems to radiates from her. I think the secret to staying eternally young and beautiful is not necessarily being a vegan (in Chrissie's case) but continually creating, dreaming, chipping away at new ideas and attempting to contribute to society. I had a professor in college who was so vibrant and young in both spirit and appearance..he looked no older than 60..the man was a 77 year old artist (he was one of the first people to experiment with video as an artform and continues to make and show his work.

The Pretenders released their new album "Break up the Concrete" a few months ago. Her voice is pure and crisp, her iconic pop/rock songs are girl power anthems. She is constantly on tour bringing unsurpassed energy. Chrissie forbids meat products from entering the venues she plays. Beauty is standing by your convictions. Chrissie Hynde is one of the few celebrity rockers who has not been injected, cut open, and molded. I love Chrissie's natural low maintenance look, her signature bangs, her t-shirts and jeans.

I do a lot of ranting here on some of my heroes, but it's because there are very few mainstream celebrities who aren't famous for any reason other than being what our current mainstream society thinks is valuable.. fame for fame's sake. The idea of internal beauty is a commonplace truism, but credit should be given when credit is due. I like to use my blog as a platform to recognize creators who have a strong personal aesthetic that reflects their personal creativity.

Thank you all for your mind blowing comments and for your beautiful blogs. They continue to inspire me. I am so proud to be part of this blog revolution.
