Co.

The place we walked by the other day on our chelsea jaunt is a new artisanal pizza place that just opened. I wonder if we can get one without all that greenery. Review from NY Mag below.

"Just as Jim Lahey changed the face of artisanal bread-baking with Sullivan St Bakery, so he endeavors to leave his dough-driven mark on Co., the pizza parlor he opens this week with investors Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Phil Suarez. A sleek, woody room sets the casual scene for light crusts, seasonal toppings, imported mozzarella di bufala, and ice cream for dessert. 230 Ninth Ave., at 24th St.; 212-243-1105."

Scott Schuman of the Sartorialist. A face to my rants and praises.

Marc Jacobs for Luis Vuitton Fall 09. I'm loving that last giant pink bow.

“The Third Generation” is the name given to the Autumn/Winter 2009 collection from New York’s Nom de Guerre. The collection as hyrcollective says, “has a feeling of Arctic, nomadic life, with the usual black and grey colors complemented by some beautiful khaki, cream and olive tones.” I say fierce boots! The men models all look a little small and pansy-ish in this line. can't we butch it up a bit, you're wearing bullets fro god sakes! More Here!

Artist destroys $12,000 worth of LV handbags....uh oh-who cares.

In a move that's sure to have the notoriously protective types at LVMH up in arms, a provocative New York-based artist has destroyed $12,000 worth of Louis Vuitton Alma handbags (above) for a new sculpture. Conceptual artist R. Lloyd Ming had an assistant purchase a dozen of the $1,000 bags at Louis Vuitton's Manhattan flagship over the holidays. He then cut them in half to make a sculpture for his new solo exhibit, "I Am Not Chinese." As the show's title suggests, the focus of the exhibit is China and what Ming calls the tenuous relationship between China and America, the artist's website notes. Ming's works addresses many controversial Chinese issues including censorship, capitalism under communist rule, trade imbalance and human rights.

"Oh my Jesus..."

"Oh, indeed. What a nice bathroom-fit for a queen."-tranny

"Or maybe a little..."

"Oh my, How lovely. I can't wait until my new bathroom is complete. Don't you just love it."

-please use the tranny voice while saying the above, otherwise it's not complete.

"I'm thinking maybe a little...."

"I'm having my bathroom re-done and I thought this one above by Nate Berkus would be perfect. Don't you just love, love, love it."

All of the above must be said in your best tranny voice. The above is also completely false. I just want that bathroom reeeeeal bad.

Manfriend's husbino has a new review on broadwayworld.com. Check it out! Click here to read the review!

P.S. We almost get a little panty peek. Girl, better watch her muffin!

That blue...

yes ma'am.

Yumm.

Manfriend-bust out the kitchen-aid. Let's make something besides those bran muffins. These Lemon Custard Cakes look to-die-for! Recipe HERE! We can swirl these up in mini sizes and putt Melissa out of business.

This looks totally cu-uute.

I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt something serious. I would watch him do anything including being ass-raped in a bathtub...oops, already seen it. But seriously, this looks like a cute little springtime romantic comedy-I'm hoping for a semi-dark and tragic twist as well, but I'm like that. Zooey Deschanel is also too cute for words, maybe she will ass rape him in the movie-that would definitely be a tragic twist.

The FLOR is a hand made black stingy brim fedora with a vintage floral fabric band. There are only 3 of each of our fedora's ever made so no one on your block will have the same one you do. Our fabric bands are cut from vintage 60's & 70's designs by fashion houses like Christian Dior, Pierre Cardin and Yves Saint Laurent.

Glossy wood bangle with a designer lining. The cut ridges and the glossy black look are unique. Each is custom made and will run you about $38.

All pieces found here at Battalion Armour's website. I thought these things were fun, but the rest of the items are a little non-existent and bootleg. Sorry-to hate, but it's the truth!

In the words of A Chorus Line....I Need This Fucking Job!

In preparation for my job interview tomorrow, let's drool over a few choice pieces by Alexis Bittar. A giant parrot brooch is perfect for any occasion...OMG what's my discount, and can I still buy things and pay rent. First of all I NEED THIS JOB! Second of all, Can manfriend get a job too? Cause I already know his ass wants those cocktail rings real bad. Check out all the luxe pieces here. I probably would take some lucite trash findings out of Bittar's garbage and try to wear them-that's how bad I love it.

I want a summer vacay real bad. I'm dreaming of something really fabulous but noticing that manfriend and I are both in the poorhouse in a serious way-We can probably just keep right on dreaming. We seem to always find a way for a little something though-Woodstock, perhaps. I will embrace my summer hippie like nobodies business. A little kumbaya-a little puff puff pass-ok maybe not, but can we at least canoe?

As noted on their page, these photographs are by Enzoji, a graduate of the school of art in Bologna, where he studied fine arts. The photographs shown here were mostly taken in the south of Italy. Italy is more in line with my dreams than Woodstock-but beggars cannot be... you know.

Two-toned lips for Spriiiing

I'm not sure I could get into this being a non-lipstick wearer, but two toned lips are supposed all the raaaage for Spring. I can barely remember to apply the Kiehl's lip-chap that my manfriend and his husbino gifted upon me.
