Vain and Vapid: Cecilia Lisbon Dress

I've always loved Vain and Vapid but this Virgin Suicides themed dress is just about perfect. Although it seems like something Lux would be more likely to wear than Cecilia.
It should be available soon from her shop.
UPDATE: Bonnie Lisbon Dress

BONAVENTURE!

Green Expectations

Great Expectations, Alfonso Cuarón, 1998

"You're all over living me" Lake Gallery, San Francisco

Okay so timeliness isn't always my strength but I wanted to mention that during my SF trip I went to the opening for a show of work inspired by Dinosaur Jr.
I know ryte???

Mat O'Brien's "Seemed Like the Thing to Do."

Freak Scene Zine by Andrew Scott

The show was curated by Dan Johnson, who probably doesn't know who I am but back in 2003 someone gave me a sticker he made that said "p.s. you're pretty" and I bet I still have it somewhere.

George Chen and Mike Kinney High Five

the gallery is housed in  a plant store

Me and Evan Dando

The Lemonheads, Varsity Drag, and The Legends at Bowery Ballroom, New York June 25, 2009Last night (aka the day the music died, aka RIP King of Pop) I did not honor the memory of Michael Jackson. Instead I honored my 90s nostalgia with my favorite alternahunk. Anyone who knows me know that the Lemonheads is a band I fell in love with at 13 and never got over.Lemonheads shows are usually full of dorks and normals and then some alt-power-couples like this one.

The stage was inexplicably adorned with tumbleweeds.

Set list!

 I think this bass player is kind of a babe. Also how adorable is this young guitar player.

At first we thought it was funny that the only person we recognized there was Greg the Misshape.

After the show I ran into Ben Cho who explained to me that the young guitar player is a 19 year old cool kid and that is why there was a contingent of 90s nostalgic cool kids there making me feel old.

like this girl who pretty much out Leti-ed Leti

and this kid with the Mudhoney T-shirt who told me he did not like the show. (the nerve!)

He opened with Down About It, played a bunch of songs with the band and then a bunch solo and then brought the band back out for encores.  

Golden Poppies

The Golden poppies were in full bloom in San Francisco.  I love them, those fuckers are everywhere, they grow wild, from cracks in the concrete.  California, it really is beautiful. I used to have this awesome light-up fiber optic golden poppy that I got at the California Adventure theme park at Disneyland. It is probably in storage somewhere.Yoshiko Yamamoto, Based on a design by Lucia Kleinhans Mathews. Printed letterpress at The Arts & Crafts Press.

I almost forgot about Jill Bliss' poppies.
