a different world.










it's been awhile since i've really felt inspired by anything, so i didn't really feel like i had anything worth posting.

denise huxtable is, without a doubt, the most stylish television character of all time. eff carrie bradshaw, denise is bomb.

kashmir.











oh let the sun beat down upon my face
with stars to fill my dream.
i am a traveler of both time and space
to be where I have been.

to sit with elders of a gentle race
this world has seldom seen.
they talk of days for which they sit and wait
when all will be revealed.

talk an' song from tongues of lilting grace
whose sounds caress my ear.
but not a word I heard could I relate
the story was quite clear.

hello daddy.








i don't know if the handful of dudes that read this blog are going to be turned off by my self-indulgence in posting even more girly shit, but meh.. i'm willing to take a gamble on it.

i bloody well love the runaways, and have spent many an hour lip-synching this song in the mirror and pretending to be cherie currie. the bitch is BAD. she be reppin' undies as outerwear lightyears ahead of lady gaga, et al. real talk.

obvs gonna see the movie.

phillip's pick: what's up rockers??!



new feature in our blogosphere, homies. phillip will be submitting a pick, weekly, from here on in.

this week's feature: rockers!

sick sick sick jamaican movie from the 70's - check the intro. and then hit up your local indie video store to rent it, because this shit is not available at blockbuster. spoiler: it's like robin hood, but for stoners.

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?

check it.

getting lifted.



this past weekend holly, kris, b and i went on a thrifting mission. in the midst of trying on some pretty crazy outfits, i managed to find, for 10 dollars (!!), a 100% raw silk longish black vintage escada women's sportcoat with the best shoulder pads ever - and i swear, i never thought in my life that i would ever say that about shoulder pads.

here's a little preview of stella mccartney's spring/summer 09, just to get the feel, courtesy of cafe mode.
