SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

WHERE WOULD WE BE WITH OUT THE ALAIA BODYSUIT? IT FILLS A MUCH NEEDED VOID IN THE WHAT-DO-SEXY-BITCHES-WEAR CIRCLE OF LIFE. YOU KNOW NOTHING SAYS DRESSING SEXY IN THE 80'S LIKE A FORM FITTING, MUTED COLOR, LONG SLEEVE, WOOL JERSEY ALAIA BODYSUIT WITH MATCHING MINI SKIRT!!! WOMEN STILL WANT THEM TODAY. THEY ARE TIMELESS IN A WAY, IN THAT DRESSING LIKE A HOOTCHIE REALLY NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE. SO GO'ON GHURL!!! LET THE HATERS TALK AND GOSSIP ABOUT HOW THEY CAN SEE ALL YOUR BUSINESS IN THAT TOO SHORT SKIRT OR THAT WAAAAY TOO HIGH CUT BODYSUIT, AS LONG AS YOU THINK YOU LOOK GOOD, UM, I GUESS THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS???

SHOCKED!!!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT A PRETTY GIRL WITH A SHOCKED EXPRESSION, BUT CLEARLY I LIKE DRAWING THEM. THIS ODE TO LICHTENSTEIN IS JUST THE LATEST IN A LONG LINE OF MY 'SHOCKED FACE GIRLS'. I GUESS I JUST THINK THEY ARE MORE INTERESTING THEN A GIRL DOING A 'SEXY FACE'. THE 'SHOCKED FACE' GIRL IS ACTUALLY REACTING TO SOMETHING WITH HER FULL RAGE OF FACIAL MOTION, PROOF SHE IS NOT BOTOXED!!! TAKE THAT NICOLE KIDMAN!

BAR-DELLO

HERE IS ANOTHER ENTRY IN MY COSTUMES-OF-KYLIE SERIES. THIS PARTICULAR ENSEMBLE WAS WORN ON HER FEVER TOUR IN 2002. SHE SINGS A PARTICULARLY CAMPY CABARET VERSION OF HER 1st HIT SINGLE 'LOCOMOTION' WHILE WEARING THIS FRILLY CORSET&BRIEFS COMBO. I HAD TO PLACE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUAL COLORED ZEBRA PRINTS ONTO THAT, UM, WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS CALLED, ANYWAY? COUCH? IT'S NOT A CHAISE LOUNGE. LET'S JUST CALL IT THE COUCH WITH THE-PADDED-POLE-THINGIE-STUCK-IN-IT. THAT JUST ROLLS OFF THE TONGUE, DOESN'T IT?

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAV-OR-IT THINGS!!!

ONCE UPON A TIME I HAD A MESS OF EMPTY PICTURE FRAMES (ALL BLACK OF COURSE, I ONLY DO BLACK FRAMES!) AND DECIDED TO DRAW LIL' PICS OF SOME OF MY FAVORITE ITEMS FROM MY WARDROBE TO PUT IN THEM. EACH ONE OF THESE DRAWINGS IS INDIVIDUALLY FRAMED AND HANGING IN A SMALL CLUSTER ON MY WALL AT HOME. MY FAVORITE OF THESE IS THE PRADA GLOVES. I SPENT WAAAAAY TOO MUCH MONEY OF THEM ONE WINTER, THEY DON'T KEEP YOUR HANDS WARM AT ALL, BUT I'LL BE DAMNED IF THEY DON'T LOOK AMAZING ON!

ET TU, BRUTE?

OK, LET'S BE REAL, HOW MANY MEMORABLE COLLECTIONS HAVE COME OUT OF THE VERSACE LINE SINCE GIANNI VERSACE WAS KILLED (B.T.W.-TALK ABOUT BEING STABBED IN THE BACK!!! YIKES)?? MISS (AND I USE THAT TERM VERY LOOSELY) DONATELLA VERSACE JUST MAKES CLOTHES. HER BROTHER GIANNI MADE ART!!! NOT ONLY DID HE PULL INSPIRATION FROM CLASSICAL ART AND DESIGN ELEMENTS BUT HE KNEW HOW TO PRESENT THEM IN A FRESH WAY. HIS COLORS WERE VIBRANT AND HIS FABRICS SENSUAL. DONATELLA'S WORK LOOKS LIKE SOME UPSTART'S BAD COPY OF GIANNI'S WORK. IN THE INTEREST OF 'MOVING FORWARD' SHE HAS RETAINED ALMOST NONE OF GIANNI'S ORIGINAL DESIGN AESTHETIC.

ONE THING THAT GIANNI ALWAYS WENT BACK TO WAS CLASSIC GREEK ART; STATUES OF THE GODS AND GODDESSES, GRECIAN URNS AND POTTERY, WOVEN TAPESTRIES. HE WOULD MIX THESE WITH MODERN TWISTS LIKE PLAYS ON PUNK CLOTHING AND BONDAGE GEAR. SHOWN HERE IS A DRESS HE DID IN 1996, A YEAR BEFORE HIS TRAGIC DEATH. IT COMBINES THE IDEA OF A GRECIAN DRAPED TUNIC W/ THE SLASHES, CUTS AND SAFETY PINS OF A HANDMADE PUNK ROCK OUTFIT. THE CLASSIC AND THE MODERN COMBINED.

HMMMMM, I WONDER IF YOU CAN DRY-CLEAN YOUR MURDERED RIVAL'S BLOOD OFF A SILK COUTURE GOWN?

BAG. LADY.

I CAN REMEMBER A TIME NOT TOO LONG AGO WHEN EVERY GIRL WANTED THE GRAFFITI PRINT LOUIS VUITTON BAG. WELL WHAT MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT THOSE OVER SIZED LETTERS SCRIBBLED OVER THE CLASSIC VUITTON LOGO WERE DONE BY NONE OTHER THEN MR. STEPHEN SPROUSE! IT'S KIND OF ODD TO THINK THAT WITH A FASHION CAREER AS ICONIC AND INFAMOUS AS SPROUSE'S, HIS L.V. COLLABORATION MAY BE WHAT HE IS MOST WIDELY KNOWN FOR.

I'VE ALWAYS HAD A THING FOR THE MINIMAL, CLEAN STYLE THAT SPROUSE USED FOR HIS CLOTHING DESIGN JUXTAPOSED WITH THE LOUD COLORS AND GARISH PRINTS HE FAVORED. HIS CLOTHING WAS LITERALLY A CANVAS FOR HIS ARTWORK. EACH PIECE IS LIKE A WEARABLE WORK OF ART.
