D&G + half nude male specimen = FUN

this picture makes me wanna go shopping & then roll around in all my new stuff. 

fist defense

well if I could spend hundreds of dollars on finger jewelry, I'd do it here.

honestly, I'm still trying to convince myself I shouldn't... PUT. DEBIT. CARD. DOWN.

Dior

Alexander McQueen

feeling the love

daisy dukes, wooden heels, bronzed skin, and carefree beauty - I'm digging the style of the 70's right now. all it took was a long lay by the pool and a few nostalgic retro images and I'm ready to go rollerblading on the boardwalk in my short shorts! 

nix the cigs tho... gross. 

New York PRIDE circa 1971

...looks like a jolly good time. you know uppers, downers and hallucinogenics were getting passed around & shared more than that tube of Revlon. yay for the 70's!!

Irina the inspiration

she may rub some the wrong way, and some will go so far to call her a bitch... but she gets the job done. and if bitchy looks like this: bitch me out.

peep the rest of her incredible collection here: Irina Shabayeva's first real world collection

dreamboating

I've wanted a yacht for a long time... but this one I NEED! Screw land, I'm pulling a high-class Kevin Costner.

Here's the deets:

A famous French shipbuilder ship company and one of Monaco joined hands together to build this yacht with enormous dimensions: 58meter long and 38 meter wide, an area of 3400 m2 has seating for 12 passengers and 20 crew. This is a "green" yacht. Wally et Hermès use green energy for 20-30% fuel savings and 40-50% electricity consumption on board. Therefore, there are 900 m2 equipped with solar panels, producing a daily output of 500 kilowatts. Equipment: three decks, a 25 meter pool, a spa helicopterpad, sauna, gym & massage room, a 130 meter promenade, a music room, a dining room, a cinema, sun decks, suites, terraces, & a lounge. The luxury is at the rendez-vous. The decks are connected by stairs but there is also an elevator. The suite of the owner (Ikke); with an area of 200m2, completely covers the third deck. The sea view is great and there is a private terrace of 25 meters long. The yacht has the shape of a horseshoe and has a roof so everything is bathed in a sea of light. The spacious lounge. On the lower deck are the common premises, such as lounge, piano bar and dining area. The dining room opens onto the sea view. Suites for the guests or the guests, 5 suites with sea views (on the middendek). There is also a reading room equipped.


OKAAAAAAAAY?!

a not so fat tuesday

hitting Bourbon Street is a must on Fat Tuesday... and with being surrounded by gay men, I was pleasantly surprised @ how many beads I was given without having to show off the twins! I guess you earn a pair just for being fierce.

definitely a wild night getting dragged into the men's bathroom to primp while my boys relieved themselves...

These guys will whip me up some comedic sunshine on any rainy day. Honestly, this glorious sight of them basking in their faux buff valor for Vanity Fair makes me nauseatingly aroused. Don't act like you don't want to squeeze Jonah Hill's tiny little tush!

yowza.

My best friend turned 23 yesterday - of course I made her a dress! It's always fun exercising my talents. Tailor made dress for the star! The chain work gave me a headache.

Yeah I made my dress too... meow baby. mc3!

whoah

yes please! pnigophobic? tie it around your waist.

oh, and though my link will actually give you a definition of pnigophobia - it's also a handy little sex dictionary that includes 14 different ways to say semen (for those of you who are old enough to appreciate it ;) 

 ...I'm digging the thought process on this girl. ruff it & tuft it.

hallow's eve

I was so relieved Roger was able to come out...

For some ungodly reason, I have absolutely no pictures of my back that night (?!?) so here it is on my body form. Of course it looked way better on human skin & curves - this picture doesn't do it much justice.  This one could be titled: "In Time Out w/ Mr. Enormous." Bad[ass] dress! Now think about all the heartache you've caused...

Yeah, making it was only half as fun as wearing it.

not so mundane monday

Yeah, it's November. But we live in San Diego, California. It's hot outside. This modified hood tee is perfect to give your winter wardrobe a heat wave. The slouchy side pocket made out of the actual hood part is my favorite detail, but the gathers in front are femininely

eye-catching.

TIP: if you're going airy on top w/crops or tied tees, keep it covered on the bottom, okay Mariah Carey?

The jeans are of my own design. I made them super long so I'd be able to scrunch them all the way up my legs. Once sewn, I threw them into the bathtub for a DIY bleach job.

This necklace is one of my personal faves. The finish on the chain I found to use had been chemically altered from a spiral perm I gave my mom. I assume it was one of those gold plated type, then doused in perm solution. I picked this incredible pendant up @ the swap meet from a dashing older lady who collected antiques her entire life. bam. brought back to life.

why don't you do right

Get out of here, give me some money too! Jessica Rabbit is hitting the town tonight. Happy Halloween you sexy people!

an essential female item

My eyes stumbled upon this incredible Girl's Guidebook while I was waiting for my # to be up @ the fabric store cutting table. Once I opened it, I knew I had to have it! A flood of memories rushed to the surface of my skin & I knew I had uncovered the next female essential:

It covers everything from making daisy chains & ivy crowns to spy lingo, club house & fort construction, and whistling with 2 fingers. It also includes very valuable information on important women throughout history, finance: interest, stocks & bonds, foreign languages, AND scientific creations such as the lemon-powered clock!

Definitely a must-read for every girl with an independent spirit & a nose for trouble.

get shanked

My jewelry line, ChaotiX, is coming out soon. But here's a sneak preview of my first piece of treasure. I've only got 5 pair of these bad girls - and I have a feeling they're gonna go quick! Don't be too intimidated by these little 1 & a half inchers, they're super light and the blade is dull. Just don't wear them into the airport, eh?

I shot her, bang bang.

"Bohemian Goddess"

"Whip Country"

"Harajuku"

"Guide for Daring Girls"

"Late Romance"

We spent 5 hours on this shoot, 2-3 cocktails, & 1 battery recharge. My little suitcase full of tricks packed a punch this time!

lashing out

Faking it ain't so bad when it comes to lashes.. but faking knowing how to put them on is a damn crime. Here's a lil help:

raging

Last night is going down in the history books! My girlie friends came out looking hot (as always) and we showed Hard Rock who parties like the Sex Pistols. My best friend since high school, Miss DJ Ayla Simone, was working the turntables @ Club 207 in the Hard Rock Hotel - throwing down sets nobody could stand still to & the crowd was rowdy & boisterous, just how I like 'em! Yay for Friday nights, BFF's rockstar boyfriend, tequila, and fabulous females!!

definition of anti-fashion

Okay. So some of you are probably asking yourselves "what the hell is an anti-fashion fashion designer doing designing fashion?!"

No, I'm not AGAINST looking fashionable. However, I don't agree with the whole "everybody fits into a certain style tribe and conforms to their chosen 'uniform'". I think there are some people who just. like. fashion.

Whether it be the shredded-to-hell denim with black biker boots wrapped with chains one day, a flouncy floral chiffon spaghetti strap topped & rayon-bottomed shortsuit w/white peep toe booties & fringed bag on Tuesday, a pair of regular boot cut jeans & a tye-dye V-neck & baseball cap on Saturday, and a swimsuit, beach hair and crocheted cover-up on Sunday. I. JUST. LOVE. FASHION!

Clothes and jewelry come in so many different styles that all say very different things! I just try them all out. Not everybody conforms to a "cohesive practical collection of ready-to-wear" either. And I sure as hell won't for my first clothing line! Mine is going to be eclectic, unpredictable, and definitely not something that will fade like a trend in time.

I get it though. A large majority of people do only stay on their comfort level of dressing, thus making target markets a very valuable piece of profitable information especially for mass-producing clothing labels aimed at mass consumer targets. I think my market is a bit smaller than "the department store junkie" though, and yet is as wide as the world. I like multi-cultural statement pieces, disco bunny attire, bar-hopping biker chic grunge, incredibly cute & comfortable loungewear, piano bar temptress glamour, sun-bleached sand babe garb, metropolis girl extraordinaire/working mistress attire, down home country-gal spirit, high society madame regalia, and everything that falls in between.

Anti-fashion to me means I despise the predictability from season to season. I scoff at the boring, hideous fads that disguise themselves as trends. And I absolutely do not want to be a part of the nose-raising hot heads who think that fashion is LIFE. Because, actually, there's a lot more to it than just that.

obnoxious aesthetics

I'm feeling it. People had to put on their shades when I walked in. These shoes are the greatest addition to any outfit! Definitely up there on my "thank god I cruised ebay" list. The bag is a cheap find. As for the incredible checkered stockings: click here to create your own custom hosiery!

October's not over yet! If you want to cop some pink strands head into A Style Concierge downtown San Diego & let Michael Lee & his stylist team hook you up. They've got some serious new threads in their boutique as well, featuring a few local fashion designers' work. You'll come out guaranteed looking bomb.com!
