i don't know, biggie is fucking biggie but if you'e never heard of the xx they are pretty grand. they've played shows with the likes of hot chip. the song that's been smooshed into biggie's "juicy" is "VCR," hence "juicy-r" ooo
maybe my childhood dreams are clouding my thoughts, but even if it's just because it's on an olsen twin, I can totally dig this.
oh and contrary to my previous perceptions of j.crew, apparently it is incredible. their fall 2010 line is ridiculous. enjoy these treasures
so i just got back from uc davis' picnic day and it was quite a spectacle. a bit different than the usual style i see out here in LA, so i thought i'd make a mini-ode to the fashions of davis.
daytime glitter was big, and worked surprisingly well
body paint was also good, check out that flower power
there was also sheep herding.
gotta stay classy while you shotgun beers...
and wear shorts in case you end up in a mob and wanna sit on the grass
nighttime included much of the same glitter, but usually plus black tights
that's picnic day in a nutshell folks. and now we continue on to
EARTH DAY YAY!!! today is earth day, which according to every collegiate student's favorite encyclopedia, was created to raise awareness and appreciation for the earth.
so get inspired! im talking about bike rides and headscarves and walks in a nearby park and eating organic today and just appreciating this wonderful planet. oh and avatar comes out today if you wanna appreciate a different planet, but let's try to keep the focus on ours if you can.
alright so I kind of blew it and forgot to post on this before the LA premiere BUT Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop is coming round for your viewing pleasure. The LA premiere was the 16th, so I'm guessing once it's been passed around by extreme banksy enthusiasts like the hispter slut it is it should be more widely available
I found myself slightly confused when I was reading up on the story behind the film but that's probably to be expected from a film by the deep-throat of the street art scene.
okokok, I hope you enjoyed your soon to be national holiday a couple days ago, stay tuned for rolled up wide leg pants (gasp)
fun fact: back in the day I guess you could play poker for $2 bets. If you won you could head over to the casino buffet and purchase a $1.79 chicken dinner while hollering the very same words that make up the title of this post.
spring soundtrack, coming at ya with number 4
I don't know where The Black Keys got the budget for such realistic CG dinosaur effects. This song's off the new album, grab it May 18th if you feel so inclined
npr has really great streaming shows that come out about every week. Couple favorites were a spring preview of new upcoming albums and a SXSW rundown of up and coming bands. check it outttt under All Songs Considered: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=37
for all of you who managed to unload your savings on Coachella tickets check out some of these get ups from last year
might i suggest the inclusion of some well placed fringe or a giant marc jacobs style bow. it's no secret that i'm a big fan of that trend, gotta get on it. now go win yourself some chicken dinners.

coachella musings/ ideas:
DO stay classy, despite the ridiculous heat
(yes, 2nd chloe sevigny is like two days)
DON'T get so fucked up that someone has to take care of you... hydrate people
DO flaunt yo hot self in a tasteful way... it IS hot as fuck out there
DON'T let anyone take pictures of you if you're high on something (0ther than life)... nice try kate
ok aaaaand... never enough fringe. or hydration. have fun for me cuz i couldnt afford it! love, thing 2
so if you have the means, i highly recommend this charming little film about a couple slowly breaking up against the hipster backdrop of brooklyn. look at these adorable fuckers (real-life couple zoe lister-jones and daryl wein):
the quasi-hipster duo are bored of their monotonous sex life and decide to try seeing other people, while still seeing each other on certain days. jewish jokes, realistic party scenes, and lots of bike riding-- this movie has it all. zoe's wardrobe is nowhere near as inspiring as, say, clementine from "eternal sunshine," but the girl's got enough style to rock minidresses, oversize raybans, bubblegum pink lipstick, and chanel bags like a true westsider.
alright party people. it's the weekend, and it's time for freakin.
pretty positive karen o is supplying those alarmingly realistic sound effects.
more fashion forward inspirational players:
clemence poesy (sans appropriate tildes)
anja rubik
and they both just happen to be chummy with our girl chloe sevigny nylon mag photo shoot
if you have the extra gouda, Vogue of any international origin is key (obviously). I peeped the Paris edition at my university bookstore and snagged a few treasures out of the spread.
out of control. obsession may be an understatement.
so anyone who likes fashion tends to have a giant boner for mary-kate olsen. i personally am no different, and make references to "what MK would do" when shopping with friends. but clever and ano as she is, it's time to move on from our mary-kate crush. we can still lurk on her flowing 70s dresses and ogle her genius use of scarves and gold jewelry, but let's develop some new style crushes. may i suggest....
alexa chung. i tivoed her terrible mtv show just to see what she was wearing and was delightfully surprised to find out that she is FUCKING HILARIOUS. i love her. look how zaaaany she is in those shades. no but seriously.
somehow looking cooler thn agyness deyn AND djing... 2 points
and next, pixie geldof. she gets props for bravery
and the marvelous chloe sevigny
also, things to consider: 1. fringe and 2. denim on denim. one of the members of this tribe has a newfound penchant for denim shirts paired with jeans, and the other (ME) can't seem to shrug the fringe trend. what do you all think? here are some pictures for yer ponderin.
