New Obsessions

My favorite bits from this documentary was when Karl Lagerfeld whispers to Mr. Valentino, "Between you and me, the rest of them are making rags." And by "them" Lagerfeld means all the other designers on this planet. 

I enjoyed commentary from Detroit native NYT fashion critic, Cathy Horyn, who never ceases to amaze me with her endless wit and shoot 'em -from -the -hips acid biting point of view.

This drink puts me closer in touch with God.

For $5 dollars at Bonobos, the raw food eatery that you 

probably didnt know or want to know about.

Scratch my Back?!

why are Japanese the superior race?

I love LOVE.

The best thing Ive ever bought for $17.99 was probably Caldo Verde soup and Portuguese style Mushroom and truffle Croquettes at my favorite new restaurant, Macao Trading Company, but for $17.99 you can also get the first issue of LOVE, the new Conde Nast title that is the brainchild of Katie Grand, who is the genius/girl wonder of POP magazine... easily one of the most influential magazines during my School of Visual Arts tenure. (Back then buying an issue of POP was like a week's worth of ramen noodles.)

Praise the Lord for depicting Portland's own Beth Ditto of theGossip on the cover. You better work ( cover girl ), work it girl ( give a twirl ).
GIRLFRIEND sounds like a Black Janis Joplin. She evokes a sense of power that looks you in the eye and says "FUCK YOU!"

Affinity for Beth Ditto aside...LOVE profiles an assembly of icons, Marc Jacobs in drag, the legendary PAM (freaking) HOGG! And Courtney Love...need I say more? and the up and up, Gang Gang Dance.
And classsics such as Angelica Houston...<---MAMMA looks daaamn good. Michigan's best, IGGY POP! <---a god. This has got to be the best compilation of portraits and interviews I've ever seen in a good while. Question is, will they pull this amazingness off in the next issue?

***Big Ups to Alex Chow, job well done!***


Standing in the Way of Control - The Gossip
Turnstyle Tip: listen to the Gossip while exercising its like getting beat up. (For the last 3 years the song, Standing In The Way of Control has gotten me through dreadful cardio workouts)

Everyone's Favorite Song?

Bon Iver has been on solid repeat at the office.
Who doesnt love a man (or woman) with a sexy raspy husky voice?
"Skinny Love" is the new kill-me-softly song... the new where-is-my-gun song...the new-get-me-a-noose song.




And I am in love with Ingrid Mchaelson, the girl who went from literally singing on the internet to selling out shows here in nyc. Can a sister get a "what, what!?"


Ingrid's cover of Skinny Love.
Girlfriend can sing.

I am so depressed I can't eat these!

This is not the imagery I want to see whilst on the Master Cleanse detox.

This is SADISTIC torture...Are these not the most amazing? Who knew humans could create something so cute? (besides babies).

Stay tuned for a blog post about my favorite show Ace of Cakes!

Thanks to Cupcakestakethecake for these images.

Pipit @ Barney's

Have you ever had one of those days when you stare blankly at your closet and wish you could throw out everything and start anew?
I'm starting over.

But it would be like slitting my wrists if I actually threw out my clothes. 

Clothes are like photographs...they hold a lot of meaning. Like, "I wore this in Paris when I was stranded on the corner of Rue Juh-na-say-pa"

I wish for 1 silhouette...in various techni-colors.

And its no coincidence that Dustin silk screened a racer-back sleeveless dress in an array of eye popping neon pink, orange, yellow, blue, green over poly-cotton pleated plaid.

Pipit was conceived by my friend, Dustin Horowitz, who is a recent recruit to the office (a.k.a. bro-town, late night marauder's, the soul rebels)
