Big fan, Big fan


My friend Forrest (of Wanda and Wonder) is having his Brooklyn debut tomorrow evening in Greenpoint at Coco 66 at 9pm! If you live in the hood, you won't want to miss it. I've been getting pumped all day.

Wet Hot American Summer

It's summer! Which means it's time to pack ourselves in our cars, get out of the city and let loose on the open road. That also means it's time to bust out some summer jams as well. My summertime mix usually involves a lot of hip hop, a lot of Sublime and a lot of late 70's, early 80's, good ol' fashioned, American rock and roll. Right now I'm all about Jefferson Starship and I thought I'd share a little with you to set the mood... So plug this baby into your speakers, pump up the volume and get on the level.

ENJOY!

I apologize for the tacky slide show video, but it's the best sound quality I could find... You'll thank me after anyway. wink.

C-C-CRAVINGS

Another shoot and this time Jamie and I are making bold moves. Everyone is craving bright colors at the moment, so why not embrace the trend and unleash the dreary winter beast that's been our ball and chain for so many months? 
Go ahead. Get the craving.

x to the o,
miss bits

Rainbow Skulls

Love this.
It's the ill-fated love child of a rainbow and an iceberg.

Aurel Schmidt is cool


This is Aurel Schmidt.


Aurel Schmidt makes some pretty cool art. I like it mainly because she always seems to surprise me. When I first saw her work I was drawn by the colors and then upon closer inspection I realized that what I thought I was looking at was not what I thought at all. Eyeballs of beer bottle caps, tears of cigarette butts, ribbons and streams of fish bones and garbage, genitals with butterfly's; it's all quite unexpected and that is what keeps me coming back. Her art is often explicitly sexual in nature, which goes hand in hand (or genital in flower) with the 'expect the unexpected' notion.  Aurel transforms our preconceptions of dirty and grotesque into beautiful, humorous and slightly eerie concoctions that you'll grow to love on second and third glaces as well.

With that said, I thought I'd share some with y'all...

enjoy!

Modern Madam Mauve

This lady just really has it all. It's almost wrong, but I'm sure somehow she earned the right to own all of these beautiful things. Suzanne Rodgers is a Canadian fashion icon who apparently has the most extravagant closet next to Marie Antoinette. You know you're jealous too.
happy days.

kiss, bits

Money Shot

Jamie recently bought a new camera filter called an 8 point, which claimed to give photos a shiny star effect. Naturally, when I heard the news I demanded a photo shoot and the results were so cool I had to share them. Gold, fur and the missus complete the bling filter package. Daaaamn.

I was really into pairing a rockabilly do with my gold hoops this day. The dress is a miss bits original and everything else is vintage.

Into the Woods

I was a junior in college when this editorial made it's way into my mailbox and into my heart forever. I would have shared it with you all earlier, but of course I didn't have this blog back in 2007, although I did have the title. Because I haven't had this blog that long I thought it was important that I revisit some of the moments that have inspired me so much, in hopes to inspire you. So for those of you who have seen it already, my apologies (though I don't know how you could get sick of it), but for those who haven't, they can't afford to miss it again.

one love, bits
