layer cake




This outfitting by Gary Graham is close enough to what I have in my wardrobe that I'm very excited to have had a little new inspiration on how to layer it all...

How is this the epitome of masculinity and still every so slightly dandy...

Has me desperately trying to figure out tintype photography...

I could every item that Hannah Martin makes on my wishlist... Have to wait for a big celebration to earn one though...

Though this is what I'd REALLY want:

man has talent, this is just the tip of the iceberg

my love will be the moat



indulge your love lust

this is kind of a guilty pleasure right now

tutu much?


I'm on a tutu kick at the moment. But would something this much drama be too much for the work place? Really would it?

John Hoyland


Though many of Hoyland's works are, to me, far more visceral and dark, I love that these I saw on Dan Shepalavy's blog are such bright sweetness.

I'm looking for a big canvas for my bedroom after all...

new project


I very much want a giant Penguin Books canvas for my home... I just have to pick the book. And learn how to paint. And have a giant wall. But otherwise it's in the bag.

This is by Harland Miller. An actual artist.

Ghouls on Film on Music

Hallowe'en edition, innit. On the Free People blog


the rolling stones
- some girls
easy dress up option for men – be a girl. problem being that even men as pretty as mick make seriously unattractive women…

bananarama - the greatest hits collection
blonde, brunette and redhead - a pick n’ mix for three ladies in need of a group costume pronto. and then you get to walk around and tell everyone you’re being “banaaaah-nah-raaaah-mah”.

kate bush - never forever
this album is kate at her best, both in terms of her songs ("babooshka", "army dreamer") and cover art…one musician on this album is credited with playing the harmonica, mandolin, balalaika, sitar, koto, banshee, saw, mando and delius. i have the feeling the “banshee” is the official instrument of hallowe’en…

steve martin - a wild and crazy guy
A SUIT AND BUNNY EARS. a man on the same page as me when it comes to his sartorial approach. and i do mean just every day.

bobby "boris" pickett - monster mash
thriller may be the current “grave yard smash” but i’ve always has a certain affinity for this one. and don’t be surprised if at the holidays i’m suggesting you pick up "monsters' holiday”...

misfits - walk amoung us*
anything by the misfits on halloween is prime, but i think danzig really knocked it out of the park on this one, zombies, martians, checking with your mom if it's ok to kill tonight, perfect!

various artists - luxury condos coming to your neighborhood soon
though it never received the attention of athens or seattle, hoboken was one of major players in the '80s indie scene, and the evanescent coyote records helped document this scene with this 1986 compilation. how is this halloween you ask? “elvis, what happened? what happened was you died” lyrics from the mr. bonus song “elvis, what happened?” proving that if you look, anything can me spooky.

the rocky horror picture show soundtrack
i’ll be magenta, and you can be columbia (in the confetti sequin tunic, perhaps?)

*i would have picked “halloween” but for all intensive purposes, it’s only a single

Sleigh Bells


I really really really like Sleigh Bells. Only thing keeping me going right now.
