she's leaving home.

it's a big one y'all!!
tomorrow's BE NICE is dedicated to rex in effex!!

my lady mercedez is moving to the farm in mere weeks...which is both a most obviously joyous and exciting time as well as deeply bumming me out in a selfish best friend fashion.
she's taking the marlow and daughters principles on the road upstate for bee keeping and chicken cooping IRL....but before the farm girl time, she'll be dancing and sparkling in the way that only she do.

ontop of bestE best fun we've got a brilliant dj line up for all your ass shaking, booty dropping delight!

AND we are delighted to announce the hot to trot duo nicole and lisa from COURT as our gorgeous co-hosts!!
not only will they be there in person but they are raffling off a pair of sweetASSED COURT JEANS!!

so, see you THERE suckas!!!

she is the muse to my best pop melody.

my dear darling gals at COURT are living the dream...
designing the perfect denim to cover the covetable asses of the world.

we had a meeting about me shooting their lookbook towards the end of summer+started brain storming concepts...but as so often happens scheduling got in the way and our city shoot didn't come to fruition...so as i was gearing up for our western adventures i suggested that they just give us some jeans to go and we'd see if magic could be made. i mean mercedez has been my muse for 12 years, so how could it go wrong?!

we shot from new mexico to the mojave to vegas to big sur...
+while there were plenty of awkward quick changes in the car...the experience was perfection--probably my favorite way to shoot fashion: having a blast--rainbow chasing through parking lots in vegas, smoke bomb experiments, climbing joshua trees in a head dress (not recommended actually), and countless other fortuitous friendly fashionable moments.

COURT jeans are available at COURT SHOP on mulberry...so go get your high waisters, dreamy bells, skinnies and sweetassed awesome on pronto!!

i promise you'll thank me later;)

if there was a magic wand, i would have more hours in one day.

p.s. scanning hi re takes forEVER....i'm really wishing that i had a few more scanners to run at the same time....it'd be like doubling down on enlargers in the darkroom...which i used to love doing- for the efficiency.

spring sails in+your wishes won't fail.

we'll be at hester street fair tomorrow all day selling vintage...so, if you haven't bopped out of the city for the weekend, come by and get some cheap+rad vintage awesome!! (honestly by the end of the day i might be giving stuff away..i mean, i don't want to bring this stuff home!)

(so this one time, i had to sign a release for my fotos to be on celebrity apprentice..)

no big's..
it just my gal lisa (looking mighty-fine-as-always on her primetime debut!) and the (apparently-not-as-nice-as-she-should-be) ms. cyndi lauper shopping at court, with some of my tangled up in blue scene in the background.

p.s. i tried to make this a gif but after hours of uploading+resulting errors, they didn't work out..so sorry but you'll just have to scroll really fast+use your imagination:)
