Welcome.

I recently mentioned that I was asked to work on a project for Full Frontal Fashion which involved a handful of designers (Chris Benz, Christian Cota, Cushnie et Ochs, Erin Fetherston, Lyn Devon, Robert Geller, Sachin and Babi, Shipley & Halmos, Thread Social, and Vena Cava). The series, which follows the designers from their initial sketches to the runway, is called Catwalk Countdown.

On the eve of Fashion Week, at the launch party on the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel, an editor congratulated me on being part of the project and in the same breath asked if working with the designers was an absolute nightmare. Surprisingly, it wasn’t in the slightest. I really enjoyed meeting each of them. In fact, my only complaint is that we didn’t get free clothes have more time between the final visits and the launch.

Krystal Simpson just posted this photo of us on her blog. It’s an oldie (but goodie) of us taking turns making each other laugh during this show back in September.

Last night I joined forces with one of New York City’s Most Eligible Bachelors (Andrew Bevan) and headed to Guest of a Guest’s celebration at Bar 675. Despite having to dodge the 840283 reality shows that were being shot and other feigned socialite drama, the evening was a lot of fun. Post party, a handful of us went to wreak havoc on Soho House… Smoochie boochie photo of us by JT White.

GPOYW - This photo of me was taken while riding in the back of a convertible last summer. If you’ve ever had long hair and tried to take a photo on a windy day you probably know what a daunting task it can be. This one was essentially a lucky mistake. Anyway, the decision to post this was inspired by inflatable dolls a combination of the Hair Storm and a discussion that I had about Polaroids yesterday.

For those reminiscing about taking Polaroids, you may want to check out Poladroid (if you haven’t already). It’s an application that lets you create high resolution Polaroids from your digital photos. Enjoy.

GPOYW hatever happened to that hat… In a moment of typical jackassery many many Tuesdays ago, somewhere between Guest of a Guest’s holiday party at Bungalow 8 and drunkenly frolicking to Rose Bar in the rain, I lost my favorite red hat. It’s not especially attractive, well made or valuable, but some good memories have taken place while I was wearing it. If you have it please throw it away let me know. Luckily, I’ve also since lost my dignity that hilarious hooker red lipstick to the nearest trashcan.

Last night I attended the opening of Olafur Eliasson’s Take Your Time installation at the MoMA with Pierce Jackson. The exhibit is heavily experience-based, allowing the viewer to walk into the spaces and react almost immediately (even before or without completely comprehending the concept). It encourages an element of surprise raw reaction which I really enjoy. I took this photograph of my shadow while in a room that felt like a giant rainbow kaleidoscope…

I really prefer photos that are created by accident - the ones that everyone else usually wants to erase. They seem so much more interesting than the ones boasting awkward poses. This one of me isn’t exactly flattering but I like the composition and I’m a sucker for simple (and dramatic) color palettes.
