The Emo Clotheshorse

What is it with me and emotional attachments to clothes? Oh no do I sound like Seinfeld?! Horror! Seriously though, I am so ridiculous when it comes to getting rid of clothing--especially when its something I handmade or something I wore in high school (most of which does not fit).
I was trying to consign some things at Golden Rule that fit this months early 90's beach theme and half of it ended up coming back home with me! As for the stuff that ended up in the store, I intentionally priced most of it so high that it probably won't sell. I'm like Steve Buscemi in Ghost World for goodness sakes! Get a grip Long-necker! Here are some examples of what I couldn't let go.

A Middle Agye Pervert original. I manically block printed this on a sunny Sunday last April.
My favorite sweater from 9th grade.

The Beach Bunny sweatshirt, a perfect fit. Yes, the white on the bunnies and the lawn chairs is that white puffy raised stuff you remember from all your fave 90's gear.

Paint splatters, puffy paint, and mirrors make this shirt a serious keeper.

Ugh, when will this sketchiness end? Never?! Yeah probably never.

My Spring Wish List

Normally I am not a huge fan of Spring fashion because of the color palate, but this Spring I am thrilled to see navy, black, and gray abound. Its not that I have anything against color. I have just come to realize that most of the beautiful colors that exist in the world don't belong anywhere near my closet. Allow me to explain. Five years ago I threw open my closet doors and realized that it was a horrible rainbow nightmare in there. I had all these crazy ass clothes and no basics. There was all this teal and hot pink, and I don't even look good in teal! I had this totally slammin teal and silver zebra print sequined top that was totally amazing to look at, but mostly when it was on the hanger. So I swore off color, cleaned out my closet, and only bought clothes that were black or grey. It was pretty easy considering for those years my New Years Resolution was to be more goth. A few years went by and I decided navy blue things were okay to buy, and currently I've been sticking pretty strictly to primary colors (usually all three incorperated at once).

With that said, everything on my wish list is rather colorful! I think I'm going to have to start buying rainbows again.

Prada fur scarves.
Ew fur! I hate fur! These scarves are so cute though. Maybe its faux.

John Gallino-You're Fired

This week Galliano was fired from Dior for being an inappropriate, anti-semitic maniac. There was a time when I considered him to be my favorite designer, so its disappointing to find out he is such a dick in real life. Its no secret that Galliano is a total party animal lush (who could forget his rehab departure statement "Now I'm going to Ibiza to retox."), but no level of blacked-outedness excuses talking about putting people in ovens. Thats some Mel Gibson shit. To cheer myself up and remember why I was once so into this asshole, here is a Galliano retrospective. Its always satisfying to see a powerful person fall from grace, but its even more satisfying to see a jerk get their comeuppance. John, you're fired!

Pretty pretty princess!

Finally, here is the infamous vid that got him fired.

Missoni F/W 2010 Film By Kenneth Anger

I love it when two of my favorite things come together, like fashion and Kenneth Anger.



Here is the whole collection. All those crocheted bits remind me of Rozanne's couch. What an odd collection. I do like it, aside from the use of real fur. Come on Italians! Real fur is sad unless its vintage. Get it together.

Nice Conflict Back Patch Seth Aaron

Omj, who knew Seth Aaron was so cute!? Well, I for one did NOT since I just started watching Project Runway this season!

Tonight was Portland Fashion Week 2010's fourth installment--a night entirely dedicated to former PR contestants. I saw Seth Aaron sitting across from me on Thursday night and I was like "Oh, he is adorable." But tonight he took it to the next level with his Conflict back patch. Sethy is a punk rocker..eee eee.

What he was wearing aside, all the looks he sent down the runway were Fab-u-lous! Definately the best looks of the week! I loved all the headwear that looked like it was practically consuming his model's heads. I was way into his futuristic cyber punky looks. Strong shoulders and vinyl, hot. I wish I had better pics, WAH!

Harmony Korine for Proenza Schouler?!?

WTF?! Its funny that the peeps in Proenza's marketing department thought that this would be a good idea. I mean, I like it but it seems like a lot of people thought it was depressing. Tell me what you think!

Anna Paquin's Emmy Dress

I think Anna Paquin's Alexander McQueen Emmy dress is really pretty even though the top part totally looks like a Gladiator or a Roman solidier or something. She looks very regal in this dress, like an Egyptian queen. The top of the dress is very ornate, but the rest is quite simple and elegant, so it works. Anna has shown her love of McQueen before on the red carpet, and has proven to be a quite fearless dresser, so this was the perfect thing for her to wear. Mwah, love you Sookie!
