Two Tone Hair Job

I was going to grow my two tone mess of hair out brown. Or whatever color it is naturally. Fuck knows I haven't seen more than a 1/4 inch in 15 years.

Then I saw this collage this morning and I was like, NO WAY. I'm staying full on dyed/bleach jobs until forevers. Staying true goth-punk style. That picture of the girl kissing Robert Smith (!!!) These peeps are my fashion icons.



Mind you, I wear a hair piece everyday now. Over teasing my lifeless, burned out pathetic hair into a tizzy. I want it big and crazy, and I want it now. I can get this piece looking like a hair hopper's dream cum true. I customized a premade piece by adding bangs.


FYI this is what I'm workin' with folks. I shaved my head in a panic, then rationalized it as my "Obama=Change Haircut". Now it's basically a hot mess and annoying the living daylights outta me.

I Bite You with My Houndstooth

Talk of the blogtown is that Alexander McQueen is either creepy-as-fuck, ala Matthew Barney Cremaster or untouchable brilliance. I want to dry hump the overabundance of houndstooth in his F/W 09 collection. Those houndstooth leggings!


This one's not houndstooth, but I LOVE huge B/W check plaid from Please Dress Up!

Hot Blooded, Check It and See

So much skin, wood and fur. OMGEEEEZus. Hair and makeup by me!

Robbery on the Strand

I totally lifted this from from Bleach Black. Gonna rock it with different lace colors. Just wait.

Dig the new layout...

Icon-Aretha Franklin

Really feeling the divas today. Just found this hat at House of Vintage today. I mean, the bow kills it but the ivory number is pretty fierce, too.

Icon-Cookie Mueller

Crazy inspired today and in a nostalgic whirlwind for John Waters' Dreamland Girls. I like 'em tough, and I like 'em real. Cookie was so goddamn hot and real. She was also a writer for Details and wrote a book called "Ask Dr. Mueller". She was one of Nan Goldin's close friends/photo subjects. Cookie was an AIDS activist in the 80's, who passed away due complications of AIDS in 1989.

Fortunately I am not the first person to tell you that you will never die. You simply lose your body. You will be the same except you won't have to worry about rent or mortgages or fashionable clothes. You will be released from sexual obsessions. You will not have drug addictions. You will not need alcohol. You will not have to worry about cellulite or cigarettes or cancer or AIDS or venereal disease. You will be free. -Cookie Mueller

I can't stand it, I love her so much.

Icon-Divine

Speaking of makeup: Divine and John Waters/Van Smith aesthetic is the soul reason I'm obsessed with makeup today. If it wasn't for them I'd still be in makeup diapers, in a crib, eating eggs with Edith Massey.

Eat Your Makeup

Yeah, I have a little makeup issue. A hording thing, I don't know. Call it whatever. All I know is I'm packing enough junk in this case to afford a Yugo or a trip to Spain. Minorly twisted for sure.

It turns out I wasn't quite prepared to do a photo shoot with a male model for the cover of the Portland Mercury's Sex Issue. Off I went to figure out how to make a man hot and radiant. I found 4 products I'm very stoked on (and only 1 of them MAC, crazy!)

1. Make Up Forever's Concealer Pallete for mixing and matching for different skin tones. I so didn't have products for darker skin tones.


2. MAC Skinfinish Natural in Medium Deep for contouring all shades. The counterperson told me this product is the most popular with male clients. Had to snatch it up. p.s. I've used it everyday since and I'm at least 2 shades lighter. Looks great on cheeks!


3. Bare Essentials Bare Mineral Starter Kit. Okay, I usually never go this direction. Light, airy, healthy. I'm usually a spackle and paste kind of gal coming out of the "accentuate the negative" John Water's school of makeup. But, hey they want me to make the models look healthy and radiant instead of skeezy. Can do. It turns out I love this shit:


4. Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil. This must be a photographer's secret because he whipped out a bottle of the stuff and was like, "Rub 'em down". And sure 'nough I was elbow deep slathering the models in baby oil, head to toe. Needless to say, I felt a special connection with both models after we were done with the session. They looked fabulous.

Icon- Cosey Fanni Tutti

Artist, non/musician, and sex worker Cosey Fanni Tutti (from Mozart's opera Cosey fann tutti= Women are like that). Cosey most famously played in Throbbing Gristle. But I'm really into the work she did as a sex/worker/artist for Prostitution exhibition.

Chris and Cosey "October Love Song"


People have their wieners in a twist about the Kanye/Chairlift pixel melting debacle. Cosey ruled the video tape-scape, dudes. Get over it.
