vogue italia june 2007

yo, maybe I should start reading vogue italia instead this anna wintour-dictator shitbomb that is american vogue. how did I miss this amazing editorial? (even though it has my arch nemisis, agyness deyn laura hollins in it) (but it also has my love, lara stone)




it's from a dumb idea ("supermodels go to rehab") but some of the shots came out beautiful and inspired! from this:

I'm at work, are you?

this is an awesome blog -- it's called I'm at work, are you?


people send in their doodles that they make at work and the blog posts them. it is pretty new but I can see it just getting better and better



if I had a job I would totally doodle and send things in.

klaus?

style.com is saying gaultier's newest collection is all about money, but i think it's about nomi! (if you say that out loud it's a pun. sort of. i'm clever.)

FYI this is klaus nomi and i love him. but actually he copied his little suit from david bowie, i wish i knew who originally designed it.

cakes for your ears

this is a song and little vid by our friend thecockandbullkid. and by friend i mean that i have been to 2 parties she was at and said 'oh my god your stunning' and then ran away. but she is friends with some of my friends, for real.

this is actually her older video, but i am more into this one than the other one as an introductory sampling of her jamz. except that why didn't anyone ask me to style it and why didn't anyone ask miss knomes to make the cake? mother fuckers.

here is her myspace if you'd like to check her out. she wears some nice outfits and i also really enjoyed her live show. but i still could be her stylist.

kd's book club

oh hai,

i'm reading an erotic novella at the moment. no, it doesn't have a picture of fabio on the front in an open ruffled shirt with the sun setting in the background, and no it doesn't use sentences like:

"Her embrace made his manhood swell like week-old roadkill on hot asphalt in the Georgia sun. "

"He awoke my slumbering womanhood with his double tall loin latte. "Starbuck!" I cried. "

it's Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille, and i am super into it in the sense that i feel like a.) i am being risque and b.) i'm reading something with literary significance and not something that ladies who read romance novels would be able to handle (at all). but sometimes i feel bad reading it on the bus when a granny is sitting next to me and i know she just looked over my shoulder and saw 'there was a period when simone developed a mania for breaking eggs with her behind'. but they probably secretly like it.

anyway, it's sweet. they talk about pee and eggs a lot. it was written in 1928 (which i knew because they describe one of the girls outfits. costume history, what what!) and deals with the duality of sex and death, how deep.


oh but if you do want some real trash in your life, this website: Smart Bitches, Trashy Books reviews romance novels and seems pretty sweet.

"the not rape epidemic"

this is a fabulously written essay by Latoya Peterson about how (unfortunately) nearly every single girl or female is "not raped" in her life and rationalizes as such. ranging from, "well he only grabbed my ass, it's not like he raped me," to "he knocked me on the ground and grabbed my boobs and kissed me when I said no, but it's not rape," and beyond.

I think this is a wonderful essay that girls AND boys should read, and then pass it on to everybody they know. and it should be required reading in health class.


they talk about it on jezebel's site -- tatiana, the anonymous model talks about it in terms of the fashion/modeling world (her posts are literary and always an interesting peek into life as a model).


the only thing latoya doesn't touch upon which I think is a very important aspect of this subject is how to balance protecting yourself/acting smartly in situations and being fearful everytime you walk down the street.

hooker's delight

no seriously. that's what these pefect martini glasses are called. "hooker's delight by greece is for lovers."

they are perfect b/c I ALWAYS prefer to stir my martini before I take a sip, and also, they just look mad cool.




and look how elegant they look when not in use! way classier than a plastic toothpick.

I might be a little late to the game, but . . .

this is utterly amazing. made in buenos aires, this graffiti artist made a short animated film so it looks like his graffiti is moving across walls and in and out of buildings. my horrible explanation does nothing to help you understand how awesome this is, so just watch.


ps be on the lookout for the artist's love for bug/spider imagery.

pps my favorite part is 2:35 when the robot kicks the log off of the wall

this is what I feel like saying to . . .

anybody who thinks they are super-original and are the first person who ever thought of what they do (talking to you lady gaga-doucheface)

"thought you might like this"

was the email heading of this link. she was right.


it's a sequined unicorn hair clip from etsy. amazing.

good morning!

boner jams

non-porn videos of people getting boners are hilarious to me. below is a selection for you!

john legend getting a boner when an audience member freaks with him onstage (boner count -- :17)



some dude getting hit in the head with a golf ball, then he falls down and has a raging boner (boner count -- :40)



a wrestler getting a boner during a match (boner count -- :08) ... although this dude might just have a big peen, I can't tell

chinese baby calendar

this is crazy. I never knew there was a chinese baby calendar (you kind find different ones by googling chinese baby calendar)


but you go to the month of conception and age (of the mother) of conception and it will tell you if you are having a boy or a girl! mr jones and I tried it (roughly, we don't totally know when our parents boned) and it was right! amazing. I heart AZN magic.

Mavis Staples

i was listening to 'wait, wait, don't tell me' on npr and mavis staples was the guest today. i didn't know who she was really but now i think i love her. she is a gospel singer and used to be in her family gospel-band the staple singers. dr. martin luther king used a lot of their songs during his public speeches (so did obama) and she was engaged to bob dylan!!

besides being an important musician/ civil rights activist she is really funny and charming on the radio and look how cool she looks in this picture!!!

true beauty

i really don't know where to begin. this is without a doubt the most ridiculous thing i have even seen in my life. could you imagine if someone you know has this very tattoo? you could be sitting next to this in starbucks. or what about your boss at work? one day your company has a picnic and 'Billy' gets a little bit sweaty playing ultimate frisbee so he takes his shirt off and whips out this bad boy. i think the first thing i would ask is 'so are you the rainbow one?'

please can this be us (next month) in 4 years?

i read about this zine (yeah i do remember when everyone in the world was 18 and thought they should write their own zine to tell the world their deep thoughts and solutions to world problems, but this is different) on stylebubble.com called pamflet and it sounds amazing and what i want debwa to be one day (if not a store). basically it's two girls and they just talk about things they like or things they want to say; fashion, culture, film, etc. sounds normal enough but here is a quotation that made me really like it:

On bruises as accessories...

"Seen on that crystal castals bird's legs and Alexa Chung and Kate Moss bien sur. This says 'I've been having way more fun than you, omg, don't even ask, it's so funny.'"



and also on their myspace they say how they come from a long line of blue stockings, which is a term from the 18th century when a group of women would meet up and have intellectual talks, aka not be lady like and no needlepoint. here is the wikipedia, it's really interesting.

oh and they dj. jealous.

this is why hackers rule

so apparently somebody/people hacked into the official twitter site and hacked 33 "high profile accounts, including President Elect Barack Obama."

below are some of the hilarious hacked accounts. seriously, I love hackers (circa 1996) and this reminds me of what the OG hackers used to do:

and the best one . . .

does anyone know if someone took credit for it?

I actually think this is adorable

this is the new commercial for victoria beckham's line. mostly I think posh spice is a v. shrewd, smart, anorexic businesswoman, but this I am actually really into -- I think the concept/execution is cute and I like the song (which VB sings, btw)

debwa loves . . .

rockabilly! obvi.

I was talking to one of my girls the other day about how much we love rockabilly style only we wish we were rich enough/weren't lazy and then we would dress rockabilly all the time.

I couldn't find a pic of what I would dress like, but it would be a mixture of these:

anyways, right now I am watching "The Rockabilly Legends: They Called It Rockabilly Long Before It Was Called Rock 'n' Roll" on tv which is crazy, b/c I don't think I've ever seen anything rockabilly on tv before!

they focus on the beginning of rockabilly, specifically on artists elvis presley, carl perkins, buddy knox, johnny cash, roy orbison, and buddy holly. right now they're talking about/showing music/showing old interview footage of how carl perkins created the song "blue suede shoes."

into ittttttttt.

twilight zone marathon = the cure for new years hangover

yes. I love the twilight zone. I'm on my 5th episode and it's a woozy ("stopover in a quiet town"). here's the mini-synopsis: 

A married couple wake up in an unfamiliar house, remembering only that they had both drank too much at a party the night before, and that on the way home, a large shadow had appeared over their car.

also, they hear the distant laughter of a child. I'm only 5 minutes into the episode, but I bet they are in hell/purgatory for killing a child when they drove home drunk. 

oh wait, I can just go read what will happen on wikipedia. doing it!

hahahhahahhaha. this is too good of an ending. warning: SPOILER! ps -- this is why I love the twilight zone so much. this is the ending: 

They leave the train and return to the town, only to be pursued by an ominous shadow, once again hearing a young girl's laughter. The shadow pursuing them is revealed to be the young girl's hand. As she picks them up, laughing joyously, it is revealed that the couple was abducted by an alien giant who brought them from Earth to be toys for his daughter's dollhouse neighborhood.

please never say "lower pouch sag" ever again, ty

minute :19 for your viewing (dis)pleasure

fyi -- this is an ab workout commercial. there's another ab workout commercial that I fucking hateeee, the one where it starts w/ this roofie'd out chick who looks into space and says ... "I ... love... my abdominals."  hold up I'm gonna try and find it ---

oh god, here it is. please just watch the first 7 seconds.
