Peer Pressure
The only tattoo I’ve ever wanted was this quote from Meditations:
“To-day I have got out of all trouble, or rather I have cast out all trouble, for it was not outside, but within and in my opinions.”
I had planned on putting it right where my heart is and then filling it in as though that part of skin and muscle were gone and you could see the bones and organs and blood...
“Halla Banafa filed a claim with the commission after she was turned down at age...”
– This NY Times article, which discusses how Muslims (who account for less than 2% of the American population) constitute roughly 25% of the discrimination complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commision, includes a tidbit about some notable cases of discrimination by Abercrombie...

The Blogification of NYFWSS11: The Undoing
I tried really hard to keep up and do it right, but a combination of a crazy schedule and two crazy lesbians robbing me totally threw me off track. I think actually finishing one of these season reviews ought to be my upcoming New Year’s Resolution.

We never thought we’d say this, but Gitman Brothers’ Vintage shirts might be too awesome. For two years now, the men of Hayes Valley have had their shirts pilfered, borrowed, and stolen by female friends/wives/girlfriends/people they let see their closets and we are here to put an end to the…
Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

“with this collection, alexander wang has declared himself the helmut lang of this generation. honestly, piece by piece, look by look, this collection strikes every fantastic chord that we once saw come down the runways of helmut lang himself. the smart fashion girl would buy every single piece of this stuff and make it her own. we’re witnessing a changing...

The Blogification of NYFWSS11: Pressing On
ADAM Adam Lippes has done pretty well for himself by doing pretty well, which is exactly why his pretensions at Philo-esque minimalism (the leather blouses, the harder-edged silhouettes) were such a mistake against a backdrop of such beautiful and sensible separates and dresses.
Alexander Wang Whether you love Alex Wang (for his slouch, his sportiness, his irrepressibly youthful approach to...
Memo to the Masses
“It just looks like a weird assemblage of clothes from Forever 21 that were on the sale rack.”
-Michael Kors
Please note, it is now acceptable to call something “Forever 21” when you think it looks stupid/cheap/ugly/like-it-ought-to-be-set-on-fire-and-its-ashes-scattered-to-the-four-winds.

shopacrimony:
Nom de Guerre’s fall/winter collection has arrived and let us tell you — it was worth the wait. Fabrics are the real star, ranging from super-tough moleskin, to plush flannel, to cozy fleece, and tech-y cotton/nylon blends. Outerwear takes center stage with parkas, coats, and jackets of everyone…

The Blogification of NYFWSS11: The Beginning
Bensoni With a few knockouts (the long belted trench, the pleats, the better prints) and some dropouts (the jumpsuit, the bolero, the worse prints), it still feels like Bensimon is running in the middle of the pack, but there are promising indicators that Clyburn and Yoon are reading to pull ahead.
Christian Siriano Too much drape, too much fluff, too much print, and — surprisingly — not enough...
Critical Observations of a Species
T: i watched this animal planet thing on koalas and it was so funny
T: those things are fucking stoners
T: they spend 95% of their life in the eucalyptus tree right

T: and when they do they scamper really shittily to the next tree
T: and you can tell they're like OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT
Me: HAHAHAHAH.
Me: OH FUCK THE GROUND.
Out of Place
I thought I moved out of the East Bay so that I wouldn’t have to deal with afro-sporting, cigarette-smoking, flip-flop-wearing white boys who are trying super hard to be “unique”. What’s the dealio, SF?
P.S. He’s also wearing an unbuttoned short sleeved shirt on top of a graphic tee.

“There’s nothing as offensive as going to your friend’s house and finding it impeccably well-kept. I mean, absolutely in perfect shape. It’s equal parts provocation (to do the same), insinuation (that you can’t), and gloating (over your implied failure). I find few things ruder and more tasteless.”
