My new blog. Go there.

good advice

amir abdizzo suggested i delete 'the black hole' as i refer to much of this fall/summer from my blog. i think it is a really good idea. i also think maybe i will rebuild a blog on a diffo website that reflects a new future. i think i may do this sooner than later. i want a blog where u can have categories at the top of the blog. i'd have fashion, music and art i think as topics. hmmm. i suppose purple diary has influenced me quite a lot. and i need to get away from going back and getting upset when i read the past. the past IS the past. now is now. it is hard to feel NOW if i can go into the past. u know??????

ok, just looking thru pics on my desktop

I

,

This is my english muffin sister Mimi looking like a candy wrapper in the snow. Notice her TRKFLD bag.

This is Ben Woodward's collage in my neighborhood. I love his work so much, I plan on buying his prints.

This is a snappy snappy that either Terry Richardson or Olivier Zahm took...remember i've been reading their strange arrogant blogs lately. This was from the after party at Stefano Pilati's house. I think she looks so cool even in the most quick snap shot.

Ok, maybe I posted this? I want to be this woman in every single sense. I think she looks sexy, strong, modern and classic.

Betty, I do love this, I would wear it.

what the hell is wrong with me?

i just read alexander mcqueen committed suicide a month ago and it made me want to cry exactly like i wanted to before. ugh.

i miss blogging.

it has been a long time since i've gone deep into that obsessive collecting mode.

i saw julie and julia and i actually really loved it. at first i thought it was too cheesy and cute, but then I just got into it.

i feel so strange without a studio, without that guilt of never wanting to go, part of me identified as an artist cuz i had it and now that i don't i feel a tiny bit lame, but secretly love it. i do have my studio in my room now, but hopefully my friend is gna move in.

ive been reading lots of blogs as usual. im reading terry'sdiary and purple diary lately since that thing about olivier zahm on style. so i guess i've been thinking about nudity a lot lately. actually. i think about if i support or feel bad for all those naked girls they photograph. i guess i don't really understand it. auriel schmit's thing in purple magazine, i just felt bad for her. exposing her body to the world. im not a jesus person, but i do think the body is private and i think she is just using herself to become famous. i think it is sad.

loved this song while sitting at 700 club

the dreams are back.

i hate the dreams.

this song and the next, sound alike in parts. do u agree?

i think these songs sound very similar in parts.

I think that the reason why the world is obsessed with Phoebe Philo for Celine right now, and why her collections are so successful is because she removed herself from the fashion world and paid no attention to what was happening for a few years. She stayed true to what she wanted as a woman. I think about this because I feel very removed from art making and put a lot of pressure on myself to make it. All I ever feel is nothing, so part of me thinks removing that pressure and making nothing, just might be ok. I also think it might be in my best interest to break this computer and never go on a fashion blog again as I think I'm officially addicted. Bye bye Perez, hello The Cut. ugh....

It makes sense why her work is so fresh. I can see how other designers could feel a little annoyed too tho. She didn't make work during the peek of the recession, and doesn't have the responsibility on her hands that say the people at louis vuitton have as far as recognizing trends for accessories and remaining on top of the fashion tower. I can see how that could be freeing for her as a designer, allowing anything to happen. This is challenging too, with so much pressure reentering the world, making sure your work would be wanted. I say, give her about 6 more seasons, and she will not be as hot is she is now. People will grow tired of saying minimalism. I love her work, but I almost want to start rejecting it as I did Balmain, when he repeated sparkly dresses 1000 times too many. I'm not ready to hate on her yet, I admit, I subscribe to all things Celine. I just get bored when everyone in the fashion world thinks alike, saying they need her, that it really is a new time. No, I don't think it is that new of a time. I think the fashion world just got bored and she is a really good designer. But to my original point, I think she is so fresh because she stepped out of the system. I think that was a smart move on her part. I wonder, if it will be ok if i do the same thing.

collections

best!!!!! MIU MIU !!!!

Miuccia Prada has this great way to fully realize her idea by using her two brands, over two seasons. IT is like you see the birth of an idea, see it grow, make sense of it and then she takes u somewhere new.

Marc Jacobs- no not partial because of my man. This collection made me feel really good. I think it is because it reminded me of what he did when I was in 9th grade. I felt like he took himself out of crazy circus mode he'd been in for a while.

Stella McCartney- I see a heavy motha effin heavy influence by her x partner Pheobe Philo, but I think she made it slightly sexier than Pheobe does. I also feel like pheobe's fall collection was almost identical to her first and it excited me less. she didn't take it to a new place, whereas i think stella took that idea and made it go somewhere.

YSL really let me down. I feel like Stefano was in the same place pheobe is now, a few years ago, but he has become stagnant and a little weird. I feel like he does deserve more credit than he gets tho, he is the one who really change the sillouette of pants on women in the last few years.

Chanel was awful. beyond awful.

I already know that since everything is all modest, Versace or Alaia r gna burst in a few yrs, everyone is gna crave sex and power and extravagance.

Also Alexander McQueen's mini collection was really incredible. I hate that he killed himself.

So that is my mini report.

love.

did i already post this? i'd wear this whole look.

ok. I love Emanuelle Alt so much. She is editor chief of Paris Vogue's partner in crime.

ha! lied. this first pic is cuz it bugs me! Not that i dislike the look on the first human, it is just that it bugs me that they'd spend thaaaaaat much time calculating the right cuff to sock scrunch ratio. some people are just way way too self absorbed. my god.

miu miu spring'10 shoe. so she put prints on everything including shoes. i sort of adore this chunky heal. i saw it i think on louis vuitton fall '10 as well as prada fall '10. i think they r making a switch from 80's to pre hippy '60s.

i just love this look. i wonder if they hurt? i don't know who by.

these i think r fall louis vuitton, but i really DONT KNOW. this i y i miss tommy ton working just for his blog. his style.com stuff doesn't label things.

ok, i was so bored one day and went to that lamey lame lame where they post their looks. but i'd wear this. if i had legs 87 pounds less leg.

before i get super picky and find all the pieces i liked most from fashion month, i liked these

from theselby.com yet again...

i love creeeeeepy.

so much fashion to discuss

milan and paris are over. what do i think?

miu miu is the new marc by marc

pheobe philo for celine influenced EVERYONE to go minimal including her old partner stella mcCartney

boobs became trendy

dior was a let down

and mcQueen's final collection was displayed appropriately and the clothes were so awesome, made me sad all over again.

no celebrities allowed=boring front row pics. editors are boring. i want them back! i think they can't afford to pay them to come anymore, that is y 'celebrities r s out of style' puh. lze.

off the top of my head i also remember loving and at this point guilt free loving Victoria Beckham's dresses even tho they really are startlingly close to Roland Mouret and Lanvin.

Lanvin had some great minimal dresses, preferred them over the ones with all the decorations.

I think Coco Chanel would roll over in her grave if she saw the fall Chanel collection. It was disgusting.
