<p><a href="http://threeasfour.com/" target="_blank">ThreeAsFour&#8217;s</a> Fall collection looked like something futuristic superhero would wear on her career days. I think the &#8217;sliced&#8217; leggings are what makes it look costume-y, which is fine. I can always rely on ThreeAsFour to bring on the fupe -wear. I mean, I love their brand of strange and I find them very creative. This collection needs some color, though. The swampy color-scheme makes it look slightly hideous. The first photo look like a dress made out of Beyonce&#8217;s <a href="http://www.braidshawaii.com/images/ServiceAnimation.gif" target="_blank">rejected weaves</a>, which would be  very eco-friendly. However, I couldn&#8217;t blow up the photo to really see if it was a bunch of <a href="http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/207798/6306200/0/1215230867/Jumboo_braids_Synthetic_hair_braids_Yaki_pony.jpg" target="_blank">Yaki-braids</a> turned couture or just an unusual fabric. Fill me in, if you have the knowledge.</p>

<p>So, I recently took a trip back to NYC for my other other work and decided to take photos of the stuff I love in NYC. I went to the Tim Burton exhibit at MOMA and was planning to take photos and video for you guys until some lady with the <a href="http://www.ibeatyou.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/long-nails.jpg" target="_blank">Bronx claws</a> decided to stop me. Sorry, I tried, people. The first photo was all I could get. It was the weekend of the big blizzard which wasn&#8217;t actually that bad- but I didn&#8217;t have to drive , so maybe it was bad for everyone else? Duuno. Anyway, I always wanted to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. Even though I&#8217;ve been to NYC 5, 460,197 times, the opportunity never came up- until now. I had to share with you the &#8216;Hell, yes&#8217; building. There you go. The bakery above is <a href="http://www.ladymconfections.com/" target="_blank">Lady M</a>- only the most deliscioussssss Mille Crepe is served there. It&#8217;s like 100 crepes stacked between a bevy of cream and then &#8216;creme bruleed&#8217; on top- soooooo yum. I actually dream about this. And here&#8217;s a cheezy myspace -style photo of me taken my me to show you how I actually dress. Now it&#8217;s your turn to make fun of my outfit!</p>

<p>Vivienne Westwood just gave us a license to mismatch our outfits! Take <em>that</em> Fashion Police! For her Fall 2010 collection, she got back to her punk roots with plaids, kilts and crackhead hair. I love that. I also love the trompe l&#8217;oeil boobs in the first photo. Perfect for the ladies with mosquito bites but don&#8217;t wanna put <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eDs_b1LRt6I/SZhCRyVktiI/AAAAAAAADCY/eMgkAqttEcs/s400/2009-02-04-boobs4.jpg" target="_blank">fun bags</a> under their skin. In all seriousness (yes, I can get serial!), this is what I (try to) dress like everyday damn day- the &#8216;high-end punk&#8217; look. You know, the glamourous lady that could eff you up in a back alley with a pair of <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/images/rhinestonebrass.jpg" target="_blank"> rhinestoned brass knuckles </a>from Patricia Field&#8217;s if need be. Viv is back! Hurray!</p>

The gizmo chair is pretty crazy- It&#8217;s like it&#8217;s gonna bite you. By the way, when I was pregnant, I was looking for a used rocking chair because I&#8217;m cheap like that. I should&#8217;ve just strapped a chair on a rocker! Dang!&#8230; That sumo chair looks like me after I ate too much delicious buffet at  <a href="http://www.sizzler.com/" target="_blank">Sizzler</a>.  The wig lamp is perfect for the <a href="http://msp65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/studpup321/tranny.jpg" target="_blank">tranny-in-training</a>. It holds your wig and provides light for when you&#8217;re spackling your make up on. My commentary is done.</p>

M.A.C artist Karin Stone developed this rad makeup to make you look like a real comic book girl from  those paintings by Roy Lichtenstein. If you&#8217;re gonna do this, make sure the red dots are in order or you&#8217;ll look like you have chicken pox. It&#8217;s totally a fine line.

If you&#8217;re gonna do this, make sure the red dots are in order or you&#8217;ll look like you have chicken pox. It&#8217;s totally a fine line. Also, you will probably be a geek magnet, like beyond geek. You&#8217;ll probably have a line of geeks and nerds following you everywhere. Bring your taser, just in case.  This reminds me of that exhibition at The Met, Superheroes. I wrote an article on it back in 2007. <a href="http://www.buzzine.com/2008/05/superhero-fashion-and-fantasy/" target="_blank">Read it here, if you care</a>. I think that yellow- blonde hair is next on my roster after I wear out this red. What do you think?</p>

That being said, I would buy one just for the creep out factor. Check out Meryl&#8217;s blog for more unusual art, including her Halloween dress that is still making me barf. Check out her take on football. Love it!</p>

<p>Check out this photo shoot in <a href="http://www.interviewmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Interview </a>by  photographer Craig McDean and stylist Karl Templer. I love this because it looks like the graffiti the deep, dark and depressed dude would draw on their <a href="http://api.ning.com/files/GBgelmVR4PjxgyeCcxcFnNgx57Mgp8JU*JxHj63LgJ4_/Converse_shoes.jpg" target="_blank">Chucks</a> in American History class in high school. Seriously, I was the Queen of Doodling. I would draw effed up stuff that would make a handwriting expert&#8217;s head explode into a million pieces. I mostly drew girls with large heads and sour faces wearing couture with bows and sh*t and fluffy kittens. Basically, I was drawing <a href="http://www.betseyjohnson.com/" target="_blank">Betsey Johnson</a>/Bobble head/ <a href="http://msnbcmedia1.msn.com/j/afp/dv_to_getty_1610392_0.widec.jpg" target="_blank">Rene Zellweger</a> hybrids. Anyway, going back to this spread, the eyes all sorts of creepy.</p>

During Stockholm Fashion&#8217;s  Week, Bosnian designer Lamija Suljevic showed her latest collection with heavy influences by gypsies, the last Russian Dynasty, and dolls (my FAVORITE!). The heavy brocade and embroidery allow for a structured shape that makes it look so elegant and dignified. This somehow reminds me of Bjork&#8217;s album cover for &#8216;Homegenic&#8217;.

<p>During Stockholm Fashion&#8217;s  Week, Bosnian designer <a href="http://www.lamija.se/" target="_blank">Lamija Suljevic</a> showed her latest collection with heavy influences by gypsies, the last Russian Dynasty, and dolls (my FAVORITE!). The heavy brocade and embroidery allow for a structured shape that makes it look so elegant and dignified. This somehow reminds me of Bjork&#8217;s album cover for <a href="http://nationfullofivy.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/c_users_svanur_gisli_orkels_pictures_bjork-homogenic-frontal.jpg" target="_blank">&#8216;Homegenic&#8217;</a>. Both look like uncomfortable Royals looking to take a dump before the next feast- <em>Hawt</em>! Or they just look like living dolls. These dresses are perfect for that boring dinner party. You could stash an iPod, Vogue magazine,  Reese&#8217;s Pieces (<a href="http://jennitt.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/et.jpg" target="_blank">E.T candy</a>) , a couple kittens, and a pot of tea under those skirts. That&#8217;s all I need for a nice evening- I know, I&#8217;m such a cheap date.</p>

Yeah, we all know a neighborhood fruit whether you&#8217;re in NYC or Bowling Green.

I predict a cat will pass by, sniff you, and then <a href="http://www.buypetmedicine.com/pets/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/example-of-cat-spraying.jpg" target="_blank">piss and mark its territory</a>.  Just sayin&#8217;.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.williams-handmade.com/" target="_blank">Sarah Williams</a> designed these fantastic luggage pieces that are super-limited edition. Seriously, if I had to choose between <a href="http://www.louisvuitton.com/" target="_blank">Louis Vuitton</a> and this, I would choose this because it is so unique and seems like it is so meticulously crafted. Plus, every time I see Louis Vuitton luggage, I think of <a href="http://www.evetahmincioglu.com/web/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/jlo.jpg" target="_blank">JLo&#8217;s butt</a>. I love the new shapes especially the horseshoe-shaped luggage and the old-timey brass and leather execution is so cool.  The prices are available upon request, but I&#8217;m guessing they&#8217;re expensive because each is handmade completely- stitch by stitch. I wonder if I can take one of my dad&#8217;s briefcases and bend it in half and blow dry it with hot heat- that would be the welfare version of this. Forget it, it&#8217;s gonna look all effed up. Better wait until I save my pennies for this.</p>
