Trash Tux

Often referred to as the Texan Tuxedo or, more fondly, the Canadian Tuxedo, the all over denim look seems to be making its way back into the limelight for spring (AND FALL!)

This post from Elle advises on how to make your denim dress-up fail safe:

(1)WASH- pair washes that contrast and complement one another.

(2)SIMPLICITY- avoid patches or acid wash

(3)ACCESSORIZE- add a signature belt, scarf, shoes or jewel to break the look up.

See pictures above for inspiration.

Naughty Nanny

I found these trashy tee's on Lochers and had to share them. They're embroidered (Grandma style) with nasty phrases, such as "I love porn" and "Will fuck for shoes". Above are pictures of my two favorites "Petite Salope" (little slut in French) and "Fucked in the head". Would it be anti christ like to put these on the list for Santa?

Dirty Pieces of Meat

Sometimes I think too hardily about the idea that human beings are just dirty pieces of meat with eyes. When an elderly and slightly senile coworker of mine first expressed this view point, I dismissed it. “WE are much more than that,” I thought. We have the ability to make morally sound decisions. WE can formulate a sentence in such a way as to elicit extreme emotions from another human being. WE have emotions. Then! I thought harder. Dirty? Yes. Pieces of meat? Yes. With eyes? Yes. As we (read “I” if it settles you) continue to fail in our moral and conversational tasks, I can’t keep my mind from lumping humans and dogs into the same category. It’s a disconcerting idea that warrants more thought. Anyway, it is for this reason that I had to feature this ludicrously crude editorial on my blog today. The very appropriately titled “DOGGING” was shot for V Magazine by Steven Meisel with the English defination of "Dogging" (public sex acts) in mind. Please check it out for the shoes, if nothing else

We all start as one and end as another

Delicate and tough. Airy but edgy. Raquel Allegra makes a trailer park girl’s runway dreams come true. LA county jail t’s transformed into outfits for a filthy fairy tale. I’ll take it any day.
