mad for moto

1.
2.
3.1. day date: A.P.C. moto/acne corset wedges/antipodium T/samma necklace/kate moss for topshop jeans/vintage star earring

2.dossier+house party: same as above with acne high waisted mini/h+m over the knee's

3.easter lunch+babysitting: topshop oxford/vintage bag/h+m skinnies/samma necklace/ minnetonka booties

i was being pretty good about the austerity program until last week. but what with a samma sample sale+the highly anticipated topshop opening+my dream moto**..what's a gal (read:shopaholic) to do? i mean, honestly..

**which i've been thinking+dreaming of since mid january-which is the longest time i've ever slept on anything..it was destined to be mine. i mean, you might ask, how was it still there in the super regular size 38 after all this time? the silly people in LA weren't buying so they sent it here..where my gal heather was able to swing a pretty awesome discount, booyea!


p.s.can you believe the only thing i bought at my innaugural visit to topshop last week was an oxford?? i certainly surprised myself.. but i have to say i've been living in it!

the flower is still in full bloom and you know me well enough to know i will have it for always.

missing you mi amor.

tangled up in blue with you.




getting close on the editing guys. i'm pretty certain about the 9 fotos for the walls..and now i'm just finishing up the final edit for the besosyfotos book, as well as finalizing the show catalogue..anyhoo, i'm hoping for a may 2nd opening for the COURT show...so, fingers crossed+mark your calendars for that weekend or the next.

also..i'm gonna do some outfit posts either today or tomorrow (it's been AWHILE), so stay tuned for moto jacket madness!

spring is springing, time for some of this:




i love these amazing blue wedge boots from mini market. though i gotta say, i am both sad+glad that they're sold out in my size (i need to save up for my upcoming topshop stop)...
+ these rings by timothy liles come in a pack of rainbo colors..i love a packaged set of anything+crayons come in handy. dontcha think they could for brunch time illustrating at egg.. hmm..

so many places to go..but one sure thing is: john waters at marianne boesky gallery

privy to

portland, maine. august 2007.

from time to time, what is mine is yours.

stephen shore.

mitch epstein.
from his project, family business.

mu jyou: there is nothing that remains the same.






chikara umihara graduated from the icp general studies program with me+xabi in 2007. since then he has been diligently working in the realm of mitch epstein+stephen shore. he's stuck in tokyo trying to get his visa sorted but for now his survey of american life can be viewed on his newly relaunched website..

an audible dessert of most certain means.

i'm relishing this song, fangela, by here we go magic. i went to see them play a few months ago at zebulon+i was delighted through+through with their performance. the drummer, peter, is a dear friend of my bff j. wiles.. besides being exceptionally deft at creating brooklyns best manhattan, he is the drum master on one of the hits featured on my spring soundtack. the band is just back from sxsw with loads of buzz + are about to go on tour with grizzly bear. catch them before they bounce at the music hall of williamsburg, next tuesday.
see you there.
+sorry for the lame youtube video but apparently i don't know how to embed mp3's..bad blogger

we linked arms to the waterfront



just after finishing up a meeting with the lovely christophe (about a potential foto blogging gig at nerve.com), my buddy joel (the albertan's main man) called me saying he needed band fotos by the end of the day for some promo.
i grabbed my polaroids (! my 680 is fixed!!!), some film packs+headed to their rehearsal space on n.6th.. we meandered over to the water to the newish park off n.7th and kent (the one with sweet manhattan in the background).
i shot one pack (10 fotos) +c'est tout! we were done, with 3 that they loved ready to go.
perfecto.

(not my best shadow shot, c'est la vie.)

dear readers, i want to sincerely apologize about the crap quality of the digi work as of late. my lumix is still broken+i can't find the warranty-but i remain hopeful, +thus not (yet) buying a new one..also, i have been taking tons of polaroids but gues what?..we have misplaced the power cord to our flatbed scanner+thus haven't been able to get them up on here.
however, i borrowed some from josh last night, so we're on the up.
quality control--coming soon.

p.s.
they have a residency that starts next thursday at cameo gallery..more info here.
