Stay Gold

Title stealing (sorry dudes) but it's pretty apt.
This is also the way ALL boys should dress...and all gals skinny enough to pull it off.
I used to have a friend who had a knife with a banner across it that said stay gold. Pretty rad.
Too bad I'm pretty much allergic to tattoos, cuz I think I might have some good ones in mind these days...but after my botched 17 yr old decision I'm not going there again. K? Onto the pictures:

(^Favorite^)


Oh-kay, time to save up for some lick my legs t shirts. They are so beyond rad.

I saw this fellow's work on the same trip as the first Marcel Dzama sighting and was completely BLOWN away. In person these pictures...the way he processes them....they are almost ethereal, they look like paintings...the colors are so rich and the paper they are printed on has this unbelievable sheen to it. Its so hard to describe...its almost supernatural.

I think I love his pictures so much because each one seems to have a really powerful story behind it. Not like...there are a bunch of flowers on this broad's bed, whats up with that? More like this woman is missing something powerful in her life, what is it? And the audience can go from there. Thats why the first picture is SO epic. It has such a clear narrative which is also malleable.

yada yada, I kinda love working at the library because people return books and I am exposed to so many things I've forgotten or never experienced.

till next time.

ps. more outfit posts in the future...if any one even reads this thingie.

Darger & Dzama

Henry Darger:

So, I basically grew up with this strange Darger fellow...not literally... but mi papi was obsessed. then wrote a book, now we own one...blah blah blah. So, one day, on a trip into the city (NY) I was visiting some galleries and one of them had the MOST amazing sculptures. Little did I know they were by and based on drawings by one Mr. Dzama. I am pretty sure everything he touches turns to amazing. AND given his similarities to Darger it is no surprise I love him so.

Marcel Dzama:

Holy.

OMG.

also, this girl is beyond rad.

DIY & INSPIRE

Technically not Fashionable Influences:

I think some people MIGHT call me an artist, even though I'm not totally sure what I am (besides in school and poor) but regardless I love a lotta art (of the unwearable nature) including but certainly not limited to...

Sally Mann. Brutally honest and beautiful. I think each of her photos tell a story (often a bit inappropriate). My faves are the ones featuring her kids. fun fact: she went to the college i currently attend.

Hans Belmer. He made dolls based on his hot niece during ww2. They were also supposed to rep the "perfect" children of hitler's creation being tortured like the jews were.
Irena Ionesco. Her subject was OFTEN her daughter in compromising positions. She sexualized childhood in a way unseen since freud. But besides that she just had a beautiful and unique asthetic.

Fashion Influences/Obsessions/I stalk this shit when I should be doing homework

Tom Binns jewelry. Anything he does with rhinestones&skulls or rhinestones&chainz. Anybody trying to imbibe the skull with class=super rad.

Balmain:

Yes, I am abored the train to balmainia. Funny story: the case to my glasses says balmain on it. weird. They were def 30 dollars at my opti...not by the master of exaggerated shoulder pads...

DIY SHIT

I am pretty much constantly looking for/ planning to diy things. mostly with studs...even if that is like so over done. Whatevs. guess I just can't grow outta that 16 pfr(punkfuckingrock) girl. Also bleach. I like bleach but i am to lazy to scoot over to walmart to get some. oh well, back burner.

(sorry i don't remember where all of these pix are from, i saved them in random folders)
