Beyoncé - Year of 4

A message from Lady Gaga to the Senate Sept 16 2010

Is it bad

that sometimes I look at pictures of people, count the bones in their ribcage, and then shift into a jealous rage and storm away from my computer to go eat something...

Build-a-Look

Do you ever go shopping online and make wishlists full of hundreds of dollars of things you know you'll never actually buy. I know I do. Regularly. What's cool though is that through that process I come up with inspiration for tons of cool outfits that I may someday actually incorporate into my real life wardrobe. It's like pre-shopping. By the time something has been in my wishlist for months and I still love it, I know that when I actually do purchase it (be it that item or something similar/cheaper) I'm going to love it. It's also just good practice in building personal style. There's no way to know what you love in fashion unless you look at fashion.

That said, I'm thinking of doing a regular piece where in I just put together fun random outfits from the tons of things I have on wishlists all over the internet. Maybe to help me sort my thoughts out on why i love the things i like , and also to offer some inspiration to others (I do have pretty good taste if I do say so myself)

So heres my first look.

Aldo "WILE" Boots, $140.00

BDG Shrunken Blazer, $80.00

Topman Grey Waffle Texture Bow Tie, $20.00

PS by Paul Smith Regular Fitted Spotted Shirt, $153.00 (on sale)

Topman Vintage Wash Arc Leg Jeans, $90.00

Ginch Gonch I Love Boys Low Rise Brief $29.00

There you have it, from the bottom up :). What do you think. I dig it.

Face lift

I gave this blog a much needed face lift in the hopes that I might be encouraged to write here more. Hopefull in the coming moths, time and motivation permitting, I will be posting here much more..

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is by far one of my favorite artists out there right now. Not just because of her great music or her avant garde fashion, but because of how she combines these things, and everything else about herself into not just a persona, but a living performance art piece.. truly insiring i must say. But something that concerns me is that most people dont get it.. most people who even claim to get it, dont even really know where her ideas come from. Gaga is no snowflake. She remids us of where she gets her inspiration from all the time with direct homages and even verbalized shout outs to the people who have really inspired her to be what she is.. Andy Warhol, Grace Jones etc.



















































But there are even more people.. mabe not a direct inspiration to Gaga herself, but certainly there are people who have done what she is doing now, for years. Look at any number of drag queens in New York.. in particular look at Kevin Aviance.
A rather well respected drag queen and performance artist around the world from New York. His look and the look of the other queens in the house of Aviance are famously avante garde and visually eclectic.

Change Of Pace

I've decided to expand the focus of my writings here (few though they may be) because there are so many other things that i need to tell about that simply don't fit withing the original parameters of what i had intended to write about here. So.. a new leaf.. the other side of the fence.. we'll see where it goes from here yeah?
