she walked in and flatteringly exclaimed, "now, this is why i do this--people need to know about you!!"

you may have seen me in the pile.

senor boru shot me in my painting studio for NY magazine's issue on vintage collectors...

see the whole shebang here.

fittingly, my (first?) primetime subtitle is, "she took off her bra."

here are some screengrabs from that Z Spoke/zac posen fashion show (for america's next top model) turner and i worked on in june...

it was NUTS...and they edited us down to 15 minutes...can you tell we were understaffed and exhausted from working 24 hour days??

the highlight in NO UNCERTAIN way was meeting miss jay.
i was out in the trailer printing out the looks and he came by while carmen and i were having a smoke break...
+holy shit. he's BEYOND hilarious!!
i mean damn i've never laughed so hard with a stranger+lord knows, i've laughed quite a lot...he was dissing the show and tyra and he is perhaps one of the most captivating and charismatic individuals i've had the pleasure of interacting with.

you can watch the episode here...you can spot turner at 5:48 and my acne ass at 6:07.
enjoy!
(oh+if you watch the whole episode...you'll see what i may consider to be the single most humiliating roller skating model fall in history...over and over again.)

p.s. backstage fashion ain't ever too cute but HOT lights and camera crews certainly don't help make it any easier..(please see the photos of me and carmen sprinting after that model..kinda cave woman-in-victorian-like.)

here's how our geeked out screening party went.
(or shall i say screen-grabbing party:)

in other news...

claire and jeremy's polaroid project has just been published in the new issue of monster children, which you can buy at THIS...i'm nothing but very happy to be sharing the first page with a mister david lynch.


samantha pleet asked some of her friends, including yours truly, to share a wintertime outfit picture for the australian le blackbook..

i won this radical bracelet by ROARKE on refinery29 a couple weeks ago..can't wait to get in the mail and into the armload rotation.
and speaking of beaded bananatown..here are a couple of pictures from the symposium and cocktail party celebrating the launch of the eco chic exhibit at scandanavia house..

(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:)
