American Beauty
My childhood neighbor and longtime friend Amanda startled me while shopping the other day with her 20ft existence on the wall of the 5th ave American Apparel store. As a regular in the world of AA modeling you can also find two of her photo essays on AA's website, check 'em..."Around California" and "West Virgina/Minnesota"

Jersey Plates
So last night I watched this entire event unfold as I exited Antik on Bowery. So glad I decided to bring my camera out that night. This screen-printed mess aggressively jumped out of the Infiniti, kicked over the garbage can proceeded to pee on it while his buddy in the car burned rubber in place for an entire 5 mins. I'd like to think they were blasting trance music, but I can't confirm. Seriously the stars aligned at this very moment and may possibly be the most mind-blowing experience I have ever had, not to mention my inability to stop laughing allllllllll day today. Enjoy and apologies for the graphic nature, but seriously, I had to share this one.

Past sketches...present wants.
Dug up some old rough sketches that are products of a "1940's World's Fair" inspiration, and while this is a fall collection I'm really wishin I had these gray highwaisteds for sum '08. I've already taken on three construction projects for the upcoming season, which means my Elna's too busy for this particular want. Anyone seen somethin similar to this on the market?
Caribou
Recently Adam and I were sent on a blog assignment at the Caribou show in W'burg. A long time fan, honestly didn't know what to expect from these guys. Their music is super layered, and involved, which was amazingly successful live. Seriously. Awesome. The frontman, Dan Snaith, averages playing on at least two instruments...don't know when Caribou will be around again (maybe summer stage in C.Park?) but HIGHLY recommend them.
Dry Dreams
Last fall I attended the Cotton Inc. Denim finishing workshop through work. Learned all about America's most sought after bottoms from the picking to the sanding. Denim is constantly reinventing itself, which Cotton did just that for the upcoming fall season...introducing...STORM DENIM. It is exactly what it sounds...storm fighting denim. In other words, waterproof. Yet maintaining a breathability and attractive feel to the touch. Really this denim is no different from your regular old Levi's. One of my current favorites, Alexander Wang, picked up the new innovation in his a/w '08 line. Check out the demonstration he does for us.
