Stone Cold

Just a spoonful of dirty glamour... makes the medicine go down.


It was cold, damn cold… practically subzero.
And while we remained officers of style to such an abominable climate, it was a long night of semi-traffic disobedience, parking lot larking, and wicked misbehavior, as we rallied about for ice cream and liquid courage. Not to mention the severe photo contingency that kept us blind-sided from the florescent storm of an external flash.
(!!)
At midnight, she mentioned the boys in the band… and then purposefully neglected any amount of etiquette. But we’re not dolls… we’re rambunctious and sometimes we fuckin swear too much… so which of us is perfect?

I was completely stoked (!) when Jess over at ClothesCaptioned e-mailed me and subsequently asked if I'd agree to a feature/write-up... amazing stuff. Thanks Jess, you rock! And I'm sending out special thanks to a few righteous babes for so thoughtfully thinking of me... Fashioncupcake (for my amazing blog award), and to Twiggy Mod and Gema for creatively tagging me. xxxx

Unbelievably fabulous, as always, dear.
It has been so unbearably cold that I haven't wanted to wear anything but jeans and a North Face, and here you are definitely putting my laid back winter style (or lack there of) to shame :)
And I just adore your jewelry! Those rings are absolute perfection.

Of all the things you could have been stradling relic dentest-like chair is pretty high up on the neato list.

Meadham Kirchhoffs' collection is so you. I wouldn't be surprised if you were their inspiration for this collection. The mish mash of denim and patterns, slashes and and fraying is very much a part of your style. He/she? is one cool designer.

YOU will post piccies up of your newbies i trust? ;) I'm freaking out now because its such a hard decision to have made. Its premanent for peeps sake! Errrr :(

Excuse me while i rock back and forth in my corner now :)

Fabulous photos and outfit. Aching and dark.
Your eye makeup is stunning and I adore your accessories - the ripped fishnets ( worn with nonchalent ease!), your ring, fur and wedges.

The best bit is you wear it, not the other way around. And you make it look easy :) xxx

Dang. So many GREAT GREAT things about your post... the rings.. the rings.. the rings.. are divine. Such glorious little finger decorations. I love love them.

The fishnets are soo totally vixen worthy! and those shoes.. gad. Will you please stop making me want everything in your closet? otherwise Id have to somehow magically transport myself where you are and steal your clothing.

The Carousel Ride

A little storytelling... A modicum of silence swallowed the room as dusty shards of sunlight patterned the multicolored carpet. Decorated with an army of garish jewelry, everything jingles, almost intentionally, as the woman perched behind the large candy counter brushes invisible lint from her blouse. Her silvery hair is the color of cotton candy. She offers a genuine smile before shifting her gaze downcast towards her slender hands. Briefly, she examines their delicate surface that is creviced by time and wiser than yesterday. At four quarters per ride, it was a small price for six minutes of uncontaminated childhood reminiscence to sweep the memory warehouse. And while we kept the company of an epoch 1920’s carousel, 60 handcrafted horses, and funky reindeer, we went round and round, faster and faster… letting it take us to those secret places we almost forgot existed. --Bella H. p.s. In lieu of those who have so thoughtfully given me awards and spotlight features... YOU'RE AM

The Writing Wall

 Affronted by a (practically) nonexistent warning sign, the weather-beaten plastic dangling idly from a nearby telephone pole, clearly stated, Private Property . Even though our previous attempt at this location resulted in a prying patrol car… the graffiti mural, a derelict carcass of a once prominent amusement park, was obviously too wicked to pass blindly. Sprinting around with certain schoolgirl giddiness, the ridiculous amount of camerawhoring was starting to feel like some new Olympic sport. But before finally fleeing the scene, we noticed the black and red letters smeared across the far right side of the building that perhaps claimed an excuse to previous visitors. ' The Devil Made Me Do It' . Disturbing to small degrees, it did seem outwardly apropos to our deviant trespassing acquisition… our forbidden spray paint entertainment. (Vintage sequin butterfly shirt, Betsey Johnson tights, F21 skirt & jacket, Bakers fringe boots)

Mad Hatter's Club

Must've been feeling a bit Guns N' Roses... With the celebratory catawampus winding down like an elderly jack-in-the-box leftover from the fades of childhood memory, we meant for a subdued and only mildly scandalous New Year’s Eve. A slight difference from the model of fulsome traditions, our intimate dinner party--fully fledged in the company of my love child camera, tippy top hats, and cocktails--came in with a whisper and went out with a bang. And as I stare to the horizon of 2009 and to all the rock’n possibilities sauntering forward with the New Year… a smile washes over. And into this vast internet superhighway, warmest wishes go out to The Minx and Fashionably Early , both ever lovely (!!!)… thank you for my blog awards. Colin Stuart ankle boots. Tripp studded gloves and shredded skinnies. Vintage (faux) caplet. Nordstrom-Savvy scarf.
