Learning about fashion with Brenda Dickson!

Brenda Dickson, most remembered as leading villainess of he Young and the Restless, gives a few lessons on "how to look young". A few favorite quotes,  "How do you like my gown...it's very dramatic" "Ostrich feathers are what I call a designer's originality" "My skin is very dry so I need to use an oily foundation"....I think we've found our leader to the next fashion cult, or maybe one already exists?

Fashionation...

EMG vintage turns 5 this weekend...make an appearance at their normal spot-the Tribeca Grand Hotel for some hot shit from my personal fave of their featured, Octopi...also plenty of great designer vintage finds.

Recent workings

So I've been MIA in the blogosphere as of recent, but I assure you I am back in full effect now...I took a new job 3 months ago and have been insanely busy, but working on some very exciting projects in collaboration with Urban Outfitters...more to come, but for now here's some work featured in the most recent Urban catalog.

Patriotism!

I have never felt more proud to be an American as most of you must agree. What an inspiration!

Whether you're familiar with his work, or looking to be inspired, go check out the grungy glamour of Rick Owens.

Hell's Kitchen Flea Market

One of my purchases...took a lot of scrubbing, but I am in LOVE with it

Went to the neighborhood flea market last weekend to look for some pieces to jazz up the new apt...pictured above is the new dresser, also purchased a great storage chest and an amazing painting (done by *Lisa?) of tennis' "The Legend" Bjorn Borg (who has his own line of underwear now), fotos didn't turn out so well of the aforementioned.

Playing the Building, David Byrne installation

This is a sound installation in which the infrastructure of the Battery Maritime Building has been converted into a giant musical instrument. Devices are attached to the building-to the metal beams and pillars, heating pipes, water pipes-and are used to produce sound, and there are three types of activations: wind, vibration, striking.
