heartbreaker fashion has designed my dream dress and i hope to interview the lady behind the brand, “made with love and no regrets”, mandie bee, soon!

i am rarely inspired by new photography, but this san francisco lovely, julia galdo who shoots with medium format film, left me drooling and wanting to throw away my camera and start all over again.

and you can see more eye candy on her flickr stream here-

a flickr set of all vogue magazine covers through the years that is worth looking at for both photography and design lusting.

tomorrow is one of my favorite days, halloween, how am i going to celebrate? well, we are going to order pizza at work (ha.) and in the evening i will wear a louise brooks inspired wig and attempt to make myself into a deceased silent film star- white and horrific, but still full of glamour.

download my favorite lady, siouxsie singing about halloween, here.

shoot me darling, shoot me in the head and go

i am enjoying life with my gothic cowboy and it is very busy with photo shoots and day to day adventures. together we are working on a new project, which i hope to reveal to you soon!

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

these ladies are making my heart melt! how can one be born so creative and fashionable?! i’d like to do a house tour and or a closet raid with any of them!

another note, today’s musical treat comes from the simple minds, a scottish rock band, that have a few amazing albums pre this hit that i am about to link- but i do love this song, and i hope you to, i’ve been car dancing to, “don’t you (forget about me)”- and now you can too!

empty eyes

the most recent artist interview was done by richard wayne- who is my honey, resident david bowie expert, prince impersonator, and partner in crime.

together, we are working on a secret bonnie and clyde design operation (to be unveiled in november) and below is our first collaboration, a poster for our friends the agent ribbons girls.

agent ribbons poster

agent ribbons is banned in the UK and there is a really great article about them in this week’s SF weekly along with a photo by me!

Banned in the UK: The ghosts in Agent Ribbons' attic

this week i am one tired design darling, all i have been doing is photo shoot, design, photo editing, design, work and repeat! (no wonder my vision is going bad!) to survive, i inhale coffee and listen to nick cave loud on headphones-

sunday i drove two of my favorite models, baby dee and alexandra up to sacramento where they posed, my friend jonathan did hair and make-up and i photographed some beautiful high fashion images- it was a long day full of giggling, visiting an amazing vintage clothes shop bows and arrows (and borrowing some beautiful clothes), listening to loud dance music, and eating in-n-out french fries late while driving back to the bay area-

all the love of hating you

inside you the times moves and she don't fade

i’m in nesting mode since richard wayne moves here from the east coast next tuesday- i want this black faux fur duvet cover and daydreaming about these suede shoes! the next months all i think about is hiding out, working on my book project, and creating more beautiful art-
