Imogen Heap

This is pretty cool and if I'm not mistaken, she is wearing Gareth Pugh.

Skeeter Syndrome

I guess I have what is called "Skeeter Syndrome" though I refuse to call it that because that sounds like some hillbilly shit.
It's basically an allergy to mosquito bites.
I have one on my thigh, and in the interest of trying to appear somewhat attractive, I will spare you the picture.
Anyway, the mosquito bite I got yesterday quickly became about 4 inches in diameter and is raised as if I have a very buff left thigh. And hot! It is so hot, as in temperature.
If you see me in the next couple days, I implore you to touch a non skeetered section of my leg, then the skeetered one.
Yowza!
Hopefully this goes away soon.

Pippi Longstocking!!!

I haven't seen these since I was a kid.
I used to LOOOOVE Pippi!
She is the best ever.
Punky Brewster WISHES she was Pippi.
Dude, Pippi is mad strong, she can pick up her horse with one arm.
Her dad is a pirate!
She's so scrappy and she really sticks it to lame grown ups.
Pippi is the coolest kid to ever live in all of history and time.
and she's also so nice.

pippi you're such a nut

Creepy

Maybe I watch way too many crime shows but the lyrics to this song is creeeepy.
Creepy kid's songs that depict murder are always interesting

Bigger than Madonna

Lady Gaga amazing in her new video.
Wheelchair dancing?
Holy shit.
When she's in the crutches, she looks like a Sorayama Gynoid
I also love the Jeremy Scott minnie maus get up at the end. it's perfect.
Love her.

Frick Yeah!

This is really doing it for me.
They were really doing it for a sec.


Also I tried Bikram Yoga today.
Mostly because I hate being hot.
I actually enjoyed it.
I'm gonna give it a go.

NYLON Music Issue

I'm so excited to be in the July 2009 issue of NYLON, The music issue with Karen O on the cover.
I love Karen O.
ooh weee!

Pretty Suzanne

I heard the most wonderful song the other day and I've listened to it every day since.
"Pretty Suzanne" by THE MONKS
I couldn't find the video but you can buy the song on itunes.
You will be much richer than the 99 cents you will spend for the song, trust me.
You will thank you.
My new favorite band!
And if you get bit by the bug like I did, you can read a little bit about them here
berry interesting

Turn it up!



Can you believe how good it is?


The songs are so rich, they don't want for anything.

How fun!

Of the time they accidentally discovered feedback:

"We were practicing and I had to take a leak," Burger said. "I laid the guitar against the amp and walked off the stage. I forgot to turn it off and the thing began to make this god-awful racket. It started off humming and then it increased in volume. Roger started hitting his drums and it sounded so right together."

Eddie Shaw went one step further when describing that initial bout with feedback.
"Just imagine the sound of the Titanic scraping along an iceberg," he said. "It was like discovering fire."



p.s. I'm landscaping my little front lawn if anyone wants to help.

xo,S

As the owner of 3 Golden Girls boxsets and their Lifetime Intimate Portraits on DVD and as someone who has watched episodes of Golden Girls everynight this week (for serious) I was truly bummed to hear of Bea Arthur's passing today.

Watch this video

Watch the video, she was a total babe! It is true that everyone is beautiful when they are young.
I used to watch Golden Girls as a kid. And as a kid I believed to be fact that Dorothy Szbornak was a man.
It wasn't until I was a teenager that I learned that Dorothy Szbornak was indeed played by a woman.

R.I.P. Bea Arthur!
This bud's for you.

Sesame Street

This is pretty much the best thing I have seen all year. I'm going to go ahead and say the past few years.

I imagine that if you were standing in front of Andrea Bocelli and he was singing to you, you would actually feel wind through your hair. And you would mos def cry. Like God would hire Andrea Bocelli to sing at his party.

Alright!

ok ok!
I'm already so embarrassed.
Did you see him do Play that Funky Music Whiteboy and pilledoutPaula cooing all over him.
It's embarrassing.
And I love it.

I love him! I don't care what you think

it's motown week on idols week y'all!


ok, so maybe I will be embarrassed about this later, but...
this shit made me cry


the audio quality is MUCH better here (but not the live video)
the first thirty seconds makes me wanna die. chills and i die.


omg!
His name is Adam Lambert
his voice, his control of his voice is bonkers!
you can tell that he's felt some pain in his life

anyway, I want him to win.
i am like a teenage girl when I watch him and we all know
teens = $
so mine is on him.
though that hot little miss so and so, the 16 yr old is awesome.
i mean she is 16 and she sounds crazy!
as in good.
in the middle when she is like scatting, she is like a salty ass 50 yr old club singer!
you know that woman is wearing red sequins,
skin tight on her too big ass.
but i digress.
Allison Iraheta
i mean, what were you doing at 16?

maybe I want her to win,
I mean she is a 16 yr old punky latina teen from Downey!
she's kind of already won

remember Taylor Dayne?
so good.

that hair!
those eyes!
those lips!
she is giving us keira kinghtingly face
drag. queen.
her bad BAD extentions!
still, she is bad ass.
like she is kind of a fast ass, but she will cut you too.
ohmygodilLOVEher!
tell it to my heart, tell me i'm the only one.
footprints... red

just like heaven

Tears.
So Beautiful.
I die.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Yesterday I went down to the Jimmy Kimmel Live show to watch my friends, The Duke Spirit, perform.
The green room had everything, catered food, open bar, pool table, video games...
I've really got to remember to bring my camera to things like these.

The always amazing Liela looked gorgeous in her custom made UNHEE elephant top and the way that fabric caught the light, fantastico!

Look at mop top Travis in the back! Like a fraggle rock-er.
If you look super closely, you can see the side of my head bobbing to the music.
As we were walking up and taking our place in the audience, I thought to myself, "Is it cheesy to stand right in front knowing I will be on camera"? and now watching the video, I TOTALLY wish I just hammed it up and stood up front. haha. Next time.

Funny story: Right before they performed, JImmy Kimmel went on stage and greeted each member and as he was walking off stage, I see him lean into Travis and say something.
Then they perform.
Later Travis told us that Jimmy said, "Don't fuck it up".
Ha!
Hilarious.

yo-yo ma

I can't get enough.
I am in love with Yo-Yo Ma

Pink Cougar

50 and Fabulous.

A fun story that Emili Vesilind wrote for the LA TIMES about the 50th anniversary of Barbie.

It was really neat to read that Jeremy Scott also made Barbie clothes out of tissue and tape!

Read it here:

Nony Tochterman, Jeremy Scott, Jenny Kayne, Suzy Yun and Tarina Tarantino all learned at the tiny feet of the woman who turns 50 this year.

nerd alert

I am apologizing before hand for the extreme nerdiness to follow.
sorry.

'09 ALL MINE!

This month's ANGELENO MAGAZINE 'Best of' Issue.
UNHEE is Los Angeles' Best of Style for 2009!
As you can tell by the picture, I am all business.
A real straight shooter.
Photo by David Waldorf who was so nice and great and my only request to him was,
"Make me look skinny!"
Ha.
I was j/king.
sort of.
half joking.

speaking of...

the other day, as i was minding my own business reading a magazine in an elevator, a woman asked me if, NO,
assumed, i was pregnant.
i looked up from my magazine and asked her to repeat her statement/question,
she pointed to my apparently giant belly , made the preggo belly motion
and said again, "you have baby?".

I'm.
So.
Sure.

Stefano Pilati is a genius

i worship him
his spring 09 , some of it is so good that i want to cry.
i would love to have a uniform like this to wear
everyday,


it looks like her dress is made out of ROBITUSSIN!




sheer. sequins.
i love it so much it's so good.



but one look.
i literally gagged when i saw it.

i don't get it.
it looks like a jack-o-lantern face scarecrow.





and i can't believe that i have never even seen his fall 08 collection.
i don't know why i didn't look at if before but it is amazing. so beautiful.

obsession

i am in LOVE
i can't even tell you all the reasons why
actually, i can. to anyone who'll listen
all the reasons i love lady gaga
and why she is amazing and why i am obsessed with her

the first 20 seconds kill me. i'm dead
the costumes. her.
i am respecting her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAoPJxTvZOQ

she is like if you smooshed carol channing and bette midler into a hot little 24 year old,
this is what would come out the spaghetti grinder.


From the very begining
paying her dues
(even if she is wearing a strapless bra under that outfit? baaad)
still i am respecting her.


but then give her a little money.
japanese anime .


p.s. drew barrymore giving us marylin at the golden globes! perrrfect.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
I am ringing in the new year with a cold.
Right now I am on my couch swaddled in down watching the Antiques Road Show. I love this show!
One of my goals in 2009 is to find a treasure.
Another goal of mine is to get a new camera, preferably a Leica, because my sony cybershot just isn't cutting it.
I think I would take more pictures if I had a better camera.
I'd like to also get more into accessories.

Cheers!
