Karolina Kurkova normal?
This picture was shown to me by one of my fashion friends. It’s from Sao Paolo fashion week courtesy of Celebrity Smack!
Pictures like these are always going to illicit comments about the disparity between models and the general public. Fashion insiders will declare this women unfit to walk the runway. They’ll say she’s too fat [...]

the Prada in the islands
i recently made a trip out to the islands to visit some family and spend some quiet days relaxing by the beach. Like always I made plans to go to at least four different beaches, but those plans quickly fell through once I had seen that the renovations on the shopping malls had been completed [...]

aging hipster
I turn thirty in a few years.
I’ve thought that every day for the past year.
I am no longer a child capable of blaming my inexperienced youth for my stupid mistakes. Now when I make mistakes, it’s me who is at fault. I can’t hide behind an idealistic and slightly inebriated perspective of the world at [...]

Jeff Koons
I recently was invited along to the MCA opening celebration for the Jeff Koons exhibit in Chicago by some friends who were members of the museum.
It was the usual crowd of wealthier white women in daring dresses, gaggles of slightly pudgy gay men who believed themselves to be art critics, smaller couplings of gay men [...]

new Tom Ford ads
I’m slowly getting back into the blogging thing, because with all this extra time on my hands for the summer I might as well voice my opinion to anyone who will listen right?
So, I thought the picture to my right might be a good start. If you haven’t heard already, this is one of the [...]

been a long time…
it’s been a long time, since i took the time to leave physical manifestations of myself in the “blogosphere.”
Does anyone use that word anymore?
regardless, i’ve been in chicago for a few months and my life has quickly become something i was desperately trying to avoid whilst in new york: an adventurous journey into the depths [...]

working retail
before taking this job in retail, I always thought how mind-numbing working in retail was. It was mostly a game of patience and chance played according to the rules of a customer who could never be wrong. It was something people did as a step to something bigger and better. working retail was something to [...]

Jun Baker – Chicago
I was lucky enough to be invited to a new store opening for the sole woman who introduced Comme de Garcon to the Chicago area in the 80s.
It was a cute little store bathed in white that showcased a distinct collection of items produced by an array of local designers as well as those who [...]

men’s brooches
i understand that the classic american mentality of masculinity doesn’t afford the typical male of being able to maximize the amazing power of the accessory.
even with the surge of tie pins, tie clips and cuff links in the men’s fashion market place, the timepiece reigns supreme and with a fist that seems to overshadow all [...]

fashion ennui
i prefer not to write about fashion shows because when they do occur, every gay jane and mary has something to pollute the blogosphere about how ugly something was or how impractical it was. i obviously respect the opinion of a few, but for the most part, it’s all garbage. that’s just my FYI.
