swag

pretty obsessed with KREAYSHAWN and the WHITE GIRL MOB at the moment



KREAYSHAWN looks exactly the same as LIL DEBBIE it’s a lil confusing at times.

i miss my dead cat

zippercutting again

zippercut was on hiatus due to
1) 15 AT&T service techs later, there is finally a glimpse of hope that I may get internet at home after 3 months of being disconnected with the rest of the world.
2) working 2 shifts/16 hours every day
3) went through a phase where I felt it unnecessary to document everything I did or liked at that moment in time.

i think i’m snapping out of that mood now… zippercut coming back strong by WINNING! the lomography scavenger hunt this weekend… photos later… here is some iphone fun with a lomography filter. happiness comes in threes

another year

older

El Cosmico

On my to-do list – El Cosmico.  Pick a trailer, yurt, teepee, tent – affordable prices

these people work there. so kickass

Furniture Shopping is a fulltime job

iphone snaps in Tokyo

at LOFT… mid century modern made tiny. smaller = cheaper so that’s nice.

Ebisu Ippudo… a little out of the way but well worth it

Tokyu Food Show… CHEAP and deliciously fresh. Below, best cherries i’ve ever had. most expensive cherries i’ve ever had.

Family Mart… This is what I normally ask for when I buy hot dogs in American 7elevens. Glad I didn’t have to ask. The guy in that issue of POPEYE is cute

claw machine – claw for giant LIVE beetles. no thanks. Jamie told me the claw gets stronger as you put more money in… i never knew that!

i love Japan for the endless drink selection. you can literally have a different drink every day of your life and never have to repeat.

polka dot frenzy. again.

well put…

halfway there…

renaissance fair has never interested me until a friend pointed out there is axe-throwing and ham-leg-eating. i’m in.

Searching the internet for something appropriate for the event… i thought about Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo & Juliet…. Is THAT the Renaissance?  It’s Shakespeare so it should be right?  I watched that movie over and over when I was a kid.  This is the best scene.

wide eyed olivia hussey is so pretty. i want this dress! It would be perfect for renfair.. classy and not too wenchy

seriously picture perfect.

is this too 70s for renfair?

only feels 70s if it’s short like this right?

this is the default outfit but i really don’t want to go there…

oh photobucket…

maybe it’s time to switch image hosting sites….

hard shore

I’ve never seen Jersey Shore but I think I “get it”… The Jersey Shore gorillas shot by Terry Richardson WTF! for Interview Magazine

uncomfortably meaty

taking ripped designer jeans to a whole new level

rest in peace kiko

Kiko got in a car accident while i was in SF and was seriously injured. She was suffering so they had her put down.  She was my first pet and the best pet i’ll ever have.

she let me hold her like a baby. i miss her.

the mod squad

this is pretty amazing. ebay store VELVET CAVE VINTAGE. love everything. the hair and makeup really sells it.

balls

street style memory

can’t remember shit? maybe this would help…

new years resolutions

cards by Andy Babb

treasure trove

More photos of Ace Hotel pop-up store in Tokyo taken by Hiroyasu Masaki.  How many more times can I fall in love with ACE? Thinking about booking some days in the new year at ace psp…. ace pdx too if i’m lucky

native inspired

There is a lot of native-inspired art/objects/decor in Vancouver… I’ve always liked the patterns and the colors… Native American inspired art/decor is a little different but is just as intriguing.  I really liked the Palm Springs Ace Hotel decor and I guess that’s why I’m starting to incorporate native accents into my home….

got this rug for an amazing price….

pendleton sells great tribal printed products for the winter…

coyote headdress is a must… ala Charlotte Kemp Muhl… so cute

devon aoki Numero Tokyo

perfect holiday hairstyle

matryoshka!!!

great idea for a halloween costume… would definitely attempt my own version next year.

this guy did some with phones!

!!!WANT!!!

tim burton @ MoMA NY

perhaps an excuse to return to NYC later on this year… Tim Burton’s show at MoMA starting November 22nd 2009….
here’s the latest Tim Burton spread in Harper’s Bazaar that should get everyone in the mood for Halloween.. Have you seen 9 yet?

betsey’s bday bash!

!!!WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!

hanging with Jamie @ JapanLA before the event

thanks Esther for giving us the heads up! xoxo

Betsey Johnson is amazingly kind and spunky.

everyone there wore Betsey but surprisingly no one wore the same outfit

did anyone stay till the end? if so, did you eat cake?!?!?!?

I want to buy everything from the Opening Ceremony collab!

so fun I want to do it all over again!! click here for the rest of the photos

ben & jerry’s drippy gooey goodness

fall in love with the new ben & jerry’s ads.  drippy fonts. fake hands. ice cream.  yanking on my heartstrings.

one of those days…

a rain cloud is following me around. started to think about friendships past and dark mood of the century descended upon me.  wise words from the morrissey got me out of the funk…

actually, what really got me out of the funk is photos of Ash Stymest…. and a few beers.  There was a kid named Ash in high school.  People called him Ashhole.  Here’s a link to Ash Stymest in motion.

party candids by Amy Kriozere!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Crusaders and Haters was out of this world!!! Thanks to everyone who came as their superiffic selves!  Mad love goes out to photographer DREW YOON who labored away at the photobooth all night long fueled only by 3 pieces of spicy tuna roll!  The pictures, which are going to be galactically awesome, are going to be posted here in a week or so… please be patient!  Also thanks to AMY KRIOZERE, our other photographer who did the candids.  Thank you RION SUAREZ and JANET NAM for all your help!  Thanks to stylist DAYNA SPITZ who judged the costume contest.   DANIEL FRANZESE’s art show was a big success!  All the pieces were amazing and a lot of them sold last night!  If you missed it, go check it out now, it will be there for a couple more weeks!  Thanks Daniel Franzese and Susan Hancock for letting us get involved!  Last but not least, the wonderful ROYAL/T staff!!!! There will be several upcoming posts documenting the event.. stay tuned…

comic book style icons

how is it that everytime we have a themed party, the theme just starts popping up everywhere else?  Refinery29 did an article on raiding the closets of cartoon trend-setters… pretty relevant eh?

asian poses

There was a time when every picture I took was the same.  My mom taught me to smile gently without showing teeth… so i pretty much mona lisa-ed every picture and it got really really boring.  Then I learned about ASIAN POSES. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this site first!!!

I need to add “punch to the face” to my moves.

There are so many other examples on YES STYLE.

Someone recently pointed out that I can’t take a “normal” picture.

I tried just now and I couldn’t not make a face.

Here’s a combo.
