And they are priced as such. $695 for that one up there.

i just bought a vintage olympian sf cursive script typewriter on ebay.


It's not so handsome, but it writes like this



i also got some ribbons and i am eyeing some ribbon tins on ebay.


i can't wait to type my thank you/ care instruction notes! ( i put one in every order that i get )

i'm so excited!
maybe i'll type you a little note!

i LOVE alber elbaz

love.
worship.
he is a genius genius. what he does with a sheet of silk. it's what silk was meant to be. what it wants to be.
if i were a silk worm i would happily poo out so much silk for him. i'm fully aware they don't poo it out.
anyway. i LOVE Alber Elbaz. i wish he was my friend.

'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!

the everly brothers

i totally get why girls in the 60s went all crazy and crying.
they are so fresh.
after "all i have to do is dream" they play
one of the best sounding songs of all time. "cathy's clown".
they are pretty much the best singing duo of ever. don everly's voice is so cool and he's a total wholesome babe like zac efron.
they are perfect.

but i think this john lenon version is the prettiest.
though, the video is dumb. just look away (i'm heeeedeeous)!





i just saw confessions of a superhero. it is so harsh. kind of hard to watch.

BFFs

These two.
Two peas in a pod.
Clearly, Nugget loves Travis more than me.
I'm dealing with it best I can.




Et tu Papi?





This one, I can't really explain, it was the brown fur for my monkey costume and Nugget just really loved it and growled at Papi when ever he got near. So to properly guard it, she just got in the bag and slept on it.

Tour

Old pictures from tour, since I just recently came back to life (new computer)

battle cat

i've never been much of a cat person, but this (video) is great.
actually, there is the coolest cat i've ever met in my whole life who lives next door to me.
i call her battlecat, and she is the coolest, man.
she let me pet her once.
i purchased greenies for cats treats so that anytime that i see her, i run back into my house and grab a couple and give them to her.

i also try and remember to take some dog treats when i take the dogs for a walk because just about every other house in my neighborhood has some crazy backyard dog that has never left their yard so they go ape shit anytime anyone walks past.

sometimes it works and sometimes it backfires and the dogs think i am attacking them and they go even crazier, but i'll win them over. i just realized that i may sound like a crazy person, but whatever. geez, whats next? a bag of bread crumbs at echo park lake?

as i was saying,
the coolest thing about battlecat is that i've given her treats twice, and once i fed her some tuna, oh and once i gave her some baby food i had left over from when nugget was sick, anyway, point being, thats probably 4 times in the past 6 months, so she's not one of those cats that you give some food to once and they are at your front step every day. that happened to me once in grade school and i learned my lesson. vagrants.
but not battle cat.
she/he's the best and so unimposing.
that cat's got class!

Babysitters Club

oh my God Laura Branigan!
She is like what you imagined your cool babysitters did at night.
Like THIS is her DREAM! and she babysits on the side for extra cash.
But at night, after your parents come home, after she leaves your house,
she goes out and does THIS.

u n h e e on Americas Next Top Model!

Check out the preview for the ANTM finale!
It's Tyra wearing my romper!!!
I'm so excited!

i LOVE halloween!

ok, i just got my computer up and running again, well i got a new one, so we're gonna have to work backwards, so the dates maybe all jumbled, but still all good.
if you know me, you know i LOVE Halloween and I wish it was 3 days every year instead of just one, but if you luck out and get it on a weekend, you can dress up all weekend!
This year I only had 2 costumes, well 1 1/2 because the old man on vacay, inspired by nick nolte, was just a try on test run.
i didn't get to present him in all his glory, complete with fake bushy eyebrows. Oh well, next year. It's always good to have a good costume on hand, just in case.

But for Halloween night proper Travis and I went to the Jackie Beat Gruesome Twosome show with Jer Ber Jones.


Trav was an organ grinder

and I was his monkey!


I wish I had a full body shot b/c I think this was the finest Halloween costume I have ever made.
I made everything from head to toe, and tail, except for the fez.

Travis made his costume as well. His organ box was amazing!
He also carved this awesome pumpkin!

What detail! Ahhhoooooooooo!


Hello Foxy Lady Colin!



Hello Drill Team Jen!



Hello Ghandi!

Aaron was Shipwreck from G.I. Joe along with his parrot, Sydney!



i LOVE Sydney!
He was so cute and nice and let me pet him for a long time and I could tell he loved me too.
It was then that I saw into the future and saw myself as Crazy Bird Lady, which I was totally fine with.

Freda Payne!

Band of Gold, my new favorite song.
All the covers of it are by women and sound kinda like the original except for the reggae version by Marcia Griffiths, which I love.
But I would love to hear it done by a male motown group, like the Four Tops or something. anyway, the original is the best, yay Funk Brothers, plus Ms. Payne is super foxy.
I've listened to it at least 5x already today.
It was playing at the Trader Joes and everyone, seriously everyone, was snapping their fingers, bobbing their heads, or humming along.
This youtube is great because it's like karaoke and you can sing along.
it's so fun.
trust me, i've done it twice in the past 20 minutes.


p.s. i just got a new macbook so i am forcing everyone i know to video chat with me until i tire of it. sorry

we did it

I have no words that would do what I feel justice. I have never been so proud to be an American and I am grateful. For the first time in my life, more than ever.
I am so proud of my country.
I am so proud of my country.

still crazy after all these years

Ms. White, SO good.
Still got it.

over the top

this is really too much.
come on.
i put little scarves and shit on my dogs from time to time, but this dog looks like a total fucking nerd.
nerd dog.
anyway, i should be making clothes so i should go.
boo.
i'm trying to break my circle of shame. my shame spiral.
where i don't get to making patterns for some reason or another, then i feel like a terrible losery person for not, then feel defeated and avoid making patterns. so now, i'm just going to do it. like nike. once i start, i really enjoy it. so here i go.
