Interpol, I love thee...


Ok, so that photo looks old, but it's the first I grabbed and one of the members, Carlos, has left...so...but they're still so friggin adorable - please excuse the teeny-bopperness.


Spent the weekend down in Atlantic City. My two friends and I went down to see Interpol and I had a grand idea of staying over to see the band, gamble and drink without having to worry about driving home. Perfect.

Awesome dinner at the fondue place, then it was about a mile walk, through the 'shady' parts of AC, to the House of Blues.

It was such a great, fantastic & splendid show. Really, the music was just SO good live and I knew every song...fun times.

For some reason it wasn't packed, so we got real close to the stage and just hipster-danced around with the rest of the crowd. Lead singer, Paul, is really charming though he doesn't say much. And guitarist Daniel is like (and this is the weirdest analogy ever), but like Woody from Toy Story. While playing, he would move about with a hop, skip and jump from one side to the next in this cool, marionette meets rock star vibe.

Funny enough, after the show, my friends and I took a turn at the roulette wheel and the guitarist was down and about - he's a tiny thing - but I was scared to complement him on the show. It's always weird when band members are with friends, family or girlfriends/boyfriends, I feel approaching them is bothersome. Oh wells.

We were hoping the singer would be down, but alas, he was not. Some of the opening bands' members were playing some and one of them played at our table - silly, cute hipsters.

Now to plan my next trip down there...


Back in the swing of making things hardcore. Excited though, a lot of these pieces are killer.

Hair cut & dye job for me on Wednesday - eep!

Modern Glam Punk Rock

Gah! Omg...I die for these images. They look like ads for magazines and such. Rawr!

Really Project Runway?

Anyone else think that the McKell chick shouldn't have been thrown off? I thought her dress was cute - I don't see a photo up on the website yet of it - but there were like three other people who should have gone home before her. So a little letter to why I feel this girl was sent home: Dear Heidi Klum, You are Heidi Klum, super model & Victoria Secret model. You were, are and always will be that and gorgeous. But unfortunately you feel the need to eliminate every remotely pretty girl from your show. I still am not over how you threw off Alison from season something beause her outfit made her model look like a 'fat minnie mouse' when obviously it should have been the older guy thrown off. It only just goes to show no matter how beautiful and successful you are, people can still be insecure to hate on pretty girls. Plus, just because you've been a model for your whole life, doesn't mean you undertand design. Thanks. Alison Being a model does not mean you understand fashion design just as being a designer you are automatically a stylist. Now it's on to watching the replay of Jersey Shore. I'm laughing my ass off! It's sad to see people act are retarded as you know they do, but I watch and thus, it will live on. I'm a real Jersey girl - I still don't get how people who don't even live in New Jersey (I think one or two of them do) are like my state's representatives. And the Anglina chick...why would MTV resign her? I mean she walked out on the first season and her punishment should be her regret of not sticking with it - sad she wants back AFTER the success of the first season. And did she bang Pauly D? Is that what he said? I need my own reality show or something.

More of Nori & Cheeks

I wish there had been more of these two wearing clothing I've made, but maybe in the future. They're so awesome!

Watching the end of The Craft - one of the best movies ever.

I have to get a review done and then it's back to sewing. I also have to figure out weekend plans, but that can be played by ear.

I want Rockabilly hair!

Rockabilly, pin-up, Bettie Page, whatever you call it...I'm bringing a picture of Patricia Day (from The Horrorpops) to my hair dresser. And if it then brings me a dude like Nekroman, well so be it!


(found over on The Horrorpops' Myspace)


Today I went to the most-mega Wholefoods ever. Like there's no pre-packaged food (ok there is, but it's like hard to find and just in the one section between the household cleaners and beauty products). But serioulsy, the amount of hot food, fresh produce and liquor...whoa.

They seriously had more beer than the wine store I go to. I wanted to build a fort in the wine section and hide there and then eat all the prepared foods and raspberries while no one was there.

I made it out and just wished they had Jamba Juice - they had everything else.

One Down, Two to Go!

The first huge thing of the summer - photoshoot for Alt Noir was today.

HOLY COW was it EPIC!!!

I don't know how I'm going to make it till the issue comes out in the fall.

Oh wait! Yes I do -

Two fashion shows! Yea, I'm insane.

I had a bit of a rude awakening I guess you can say this past week. It made me think about what I want to do in life and where I want to go and I'm pretty damn sure I blew an amazing chance at a job that would benefit my time management with sewing (allowing me to keep and maintain it as my artistic outlet) and thus having a real job that like would be awesome.

Live and learn I guess - maybe I have to keep reminding myself maybe it was for the best?

Who knows. I'm just excited to have things focused on the shows now. LOTS of work.

The work week begins again - two part-time jobs - crazy! Things never slow down.

Interpol Overdose!




I'm OBSESSED with this song currently. I think I've just listened to it like 15 times in a row. And there's a free download via their website or NyMag.com somewhere. LOVE

It currently captures exactly how I'm feeling right now. I really hope I get to see them next weekend.

Yay! I'm super stoked on this event made possible by the letter 'S' for Sugar & Spikes. Love those ladies!

Come out and rock out with us and see all the goodies I've created
