grace jones yous a fierce bitch

but you have scary teeth.

i can't cope.

i'm really disturbed because:

a.) i actually really like the new House of Holland clothes.


b.) everytime i have a new hair cut, LAURA HOLLINS takes my hairstyle.

I'm not kidding.

this is the best sleeve I've ever seen. I wouldn't necessarily choose the clint eastwood still in the middle of the ocean scene, but it is sweet on its own, and the undersea sleeve is incredible. I love it like whoa

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Mr. fantasy got me the book wetlands by charlotte roche for VD (even though we didn't really celebrate it). i don't know if this book has blown up yet stateside or if it's just a european thing at the moment but it's getting a lot of press for being disgustingly honest about the female body.

The main character, Helen, is laid up in the hospital after a shaving incident and recalls stories of past sexual experiences and contemplates her own body, much to the discomfort of the reader. I'm having an easy time reading it (i mean that i've read like 150 pages in one day which is a lot for me because i get distracted easily) but i've almost gagged 3 times. and i do not have a weak constitution. even though i like being inappropes and like this style of writing, i don't really know that it's some feminist piece of literature like people are making it out to be. i'd say so far 60% of the gross stuff is just being foul for the sake of getting a reaction and not necessarily rethinking social taboos (aka period sex). i still think you should read it though.

here is a little sample for you:

" When I jerk somebody off, i always make sure that some cum gets on my hand. I run my fingers through it and let it dry under my long nails. That way, later in the day, i can reminice about my good fuck partner by biting my nails and getting bits of the hardened cum to play with in my mouth; i chew on it and, after tasting it and letting it slowly dissolve, I swallow it. It's an invention i'm very proud of: the memorable-sex bonbon."

tiny blogger.

i heard a bit of buzz on the fashion blogs i frequent about this 12 year old blogger called Tavi who is supposedly the child prodigy of the style world. i wasn't very interested at first, i envisioned her being some rich snobby city brat obsessed with chanel and louis vuitton, but then i decided to check her out. she is pretty much the opposite of what i expected. Her family lives i a very rural area (judging from pics i've seen on the blog, looks like where i grew up) and she is into rei kawabuko of CDG, and yohji yammato to name a few. i was pretty impressed by that because i my mind CDG is an acquired taste, not something i would have favored in the beginning of my fashion endeavors- i was more into the classic couture, dior's new look, etc.

anyway, i read tavi's blog for like two and a half hours trying to figure out if i thought it was some sort of elaborate lie, if she was annoying, etc. and in the end i decided i actually really like her. the blog is very well written, but not snobby at all. i like the way she approaches her outfits, experimental but not too serious, most of her clothing is second hand. and on it she make a point of saying she isn't interested in a career in fashion, it's just something she likes which i think makes me like her a lot more. and she is funny too.

in conclusion, the only bad thing about her is that she is much cooler than me, and half my age.

the best reaction to chris brown and pon de forehead I have seen

probably (or maybe not) you have heard about chris brown beating on rihanna. most likely, you don't really care. that is fine, they suck. BUT, the video below is the best, most intellectual reaction I have seen w/o being preachy.

this woman, Elizabeth Mendez Berry, wrote a ground-breaking VIBE article about domestic violence in hip-hop entitled "Love Hurts: Rap's Black Eye." (read here) (she wrote it in reaction to everybody in the hip hop community freaking out and getting pissed at big pun's wife, b/c after he died, she helped create a documentary on him and put in actual footage of him pistol whipping her from a security camera.)

for example, this is a comment off of a page that had the link to the video "Sometimes bitches get outta line, you don't know what she may have done to deserve that, maybe she was snortin coke in front of his kids or something, I'd pistol whip a girl if they were doing drugs in front of my son." there were a bunch more, too, though that were like "even if he's a good rapper he is scum if he hits a women. (and what she "did" to "deserve it" was Pun thought she had misplaced his gun from where he put it, but someone else actually put it somewhere else)



she talks about why we are so reluctant and unwilling to acknowledge victim abuse. for example, she said everybody freaked out at pun's wife "for airing their dirty laundry," but what she actually was trying to do was stop the cycle of violence their own kids by talking about it (pun came from a violent household). whatever. just watch it. or go read this.

a real treat.

real female electronic musicians

can lady gaga do this? i don't think so.



this is http://www.myspace.com/littlebootsmusic. i wish i had one of those sparkle machines. i also wish i could play piano. or sing. fuck.

she's real.

I don't really have feelings about j. lo one way or another. I mean I guess she sucks, but I don't really care enough to not like her. that said, I really liked this video and song from like 2001 she did w/ ja rule. seriously. I know all the words. I didn't have cable so whenever I was at my friends' houses and mtv was on and this video played I would make everybody shut up, put my baby hairs down on my forehead, and sing. (the video won't let me embed, so just go to the link)



here are some gems from this little goody:
-- j. lo singing (aka autotune) "and when I'm feelin sexy, whose gonna comfort me?"
-- ja rule sayin "I'm nastay" (and then my vagina seals itself up)
-- j. lo saying "nigga" in a baby voice b/c that makes it okay?
-- ja rule looking like a downie the whole time (but I think that is just how his face is)

please tell me there are more of these
