date night.



last saturday night, b, kris and i rolled. it was pretty epic. lots of strikes and draft beer all 'round. although it was unanimously decided that five pin is definitely not as cool as ten pin - we want to get on that big lebowski shit.

because you can't fuck with de jesus.

well, this should be interesting.



word is, our lady of rock 'n roll-wear, miss vivienne westwood has chosen notorious canuck pammie andie as the new face of her s/s 09 line!

chyea! viv won't officially confirm this, but will only cryptically intone: 'i can't speak about it yet. but anything i would say would be completely positive'. so yea, there you go.

listed: les sapeurs du congo.



the second i saw this zone zero article i had to post about it. over the course of the better part of the last century, gentlemen of all ages in the congo have developed a specific, and most definitely dandied, style of dress refered to as 'la sape'; it stands for: la societé des ambianceurs et des personnes elegantes. it refers to someone dressed with elegance - and the subculture has their own slang: 'yambala' means baggy shirt, 'bumbatio' means pants and 'nkaka' means suit.

and this ain't nothing new..

and, this weekend.



there was a lot of puttering about, here and there. kris baked some delish cookies, while i supervised, taste-tested and generally cheered her on. i met a new friend who invited us over for delicious snacks (see photo - beardsy and me, waiting to get buzzed in). i went bowling with some dear homegirls. and i bought a camera. oh the fun times that are days off.

listed: jewish rosaries.



found this website a few months ago and thought it was pretty neat. but then i probably got distracted by something shiny, because it fell by the wayside until just right now. carlen altman is a nice jewish girl who appreciates faith and fancy.

listed: organic options.



the other day, yaya sent me a link to the most wonderful site. she is without a doubt my most sustainably-living, socially-conscious and responsible amiga, and for that i thank her. because i am now in the know when it comes to getting kitted in some seriously wearable organic clothes (because let's face it - a lot of them aren't my speed). fabrics used in their fa08 line include: vegetable-tanned leather, organic cashmeres, wool, cotton and velvet. even the recycled cotton pieces look dope.

john patrick organic. check it.

peep this: it's a wild wild life.




one of my nameless-faceless homies has started to bomb the suburbs in their own personal guerilla style. in their own words, it's straight 'east VANdalization'.

the wild ones. check it.

listed: robot love.






typically i don't get down with beyonce's gear. she's a super babe and all, but overall, her style isn't really my cup of tea.

then, she goes and does something like this: last week, she rocks a full-on robot glove in combo with some crazy ass gareth pugh dress, and blows my mind. totally made me nostalgic for those roboto-golden-leggings that balenciaga dropped for s/s 07, and wishing that i had a disposable income of over 100 k to satisfy that craving.

kate & johnny.





just found these old pictures.

hottest couple ever. remember?

listed: the glamourai.



it's been awhile since i've made an it girl posting, but i thought it was appropriate, seeing as hallowe'en has completely invigorated my love for all things costumed.

this lovely lady is a self-described 'fancy-maker'. how can you go wrong with that?
