Where the fuck are all the good dance parties at?
Aside from Moz Night.. where do these happen?

Nobuks and I have conveyed concern cuz haven't
been to a good one in ages...

and by good one, i mean where you are sweating
head to toe and still amped for more.

why

does no one tell me of these things.
Johnny Waters did "Filthy World" last night and i missed it!
So to make it up to myself i added some preciousness.




In other news:
So i finally got my catepillars did... theyre clean now...

Great New York Divorces

Woody Allen
This is alot, but the meaty stuff is in the Relationships section

The Man Purse is in!

Gay Hanky Codes
in case you didnt already know, now ya know...
been super fascinated with homosexual relations as of late.. (more of the male orientation) just more a mere observance of dating rituals... they're just as cutely awkward and absurd as straight dating rituals, if not worse or more difficult.

My fav fav
DP's Blog just posted a sick tidbit.
Gareth Pugh just received major backing from ANDAM to show at Paris Fashion Week!

Mildly losing my taste for CoStume.. they havent been doing it for me lately.

John Richmond Menswear

Prada
Men shouldnt wear short cropped shirts or dresses... its just wrong to me.

The Beauty in Borges.

Remorse For Any Death
by Jorge Luis Borges

Free of memory and of hope,
limitless, abstract, almost future,
the dead man is not a dead man: he is death.
Like the God of the mystics,
of Whom anything that could be said must be denied,
the dead one, alien everywhere,
is but the ruin and absence of the world.
We rob him of everything,
we leave him not so much as a color or syllable:
here, the courtyard which his eyes no longer see,
there, the sidewalk where his hope lay in wait.
Even what we are thinking,
he could be thinking;

we have divvied up like thieves
the booty of nights and days.

My Curiousity Wanderings:

Portnoy's Complaint:
A disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature...

Erica Jong's Fear of Flying
And the feud that ensued 35 years later..

and lastly for good measure.

a minglement of nonsense and delight.

Peeves.

Ugh, so one of my hugest pet peeves ing the whole wide world,
is when people get my fucking name wrong...

Dont even bother talking to me if youre gonna call me Lie..

Its fucking Ly.. as in Leeeeeeeeeeee...

Ugh it bothers me to no end... in my mind it means your
completely ignorant.. and i shan't wast my time talking to u to begin with.

sorry its super bitchy & mean of me, but its the worst thing
ever.. i grew up with people getting it wrong... so much
so that always on the first day of school, wherever it was...
i pre-corrected teachers, before they even called my name out.
It bothers me that much.

Major peeves.

again.

i need to get a life and get offline.

Menswear '09

Anyone? I'd rather wear most of these...

Vi Vi Westwood
this man is a gem.


Mr. McQueen

Junya Watanabe

Miz Demeulemeester

Ferragams

works of.

Matteo Bertolio

good clothes.

Putzing through Resort collections.. i came across these gems:

God Bless YSL..
this is my ideal collection.. if i ever could afford.
id want this.


Chunneling Chanel
Not my favorite Chanel collezione, but still lovely nonetheless.

Dior I Adore
Simply 60's.. my favorite part is the arched eyebrows and black liner.

DVF Deadly
Slick and sleek.

For the rest of Resort '09 from WWD.. or Nymag
WWD has more coverage, but to see most of it, you gotta subscribe... lame,
but nymag lets u view most of it, but their resort listing is limited...

ok obviously bored and being overly critical, but you're just gonna have to deal.

absorption.

To quell my anxiety and feelings of vapidity.. ive taken up reading again..
i suppose i never really gave it up.. seeing as i spend my days surfing the
interweb for clever and interesting tidbits... but ive more or less gone back
to the age old art of reading.. of text tightly compacted on off-white pages...
in relatively neatly bound books...

in physical rotation:

Jorge Luis Borges Selected Poems

Charles Bukowski You Get So Alone at Times It Just Makes Sense

in wiki rotation:

His Dark Materials
By Philip Pullman, it's what Golden Compass {the movie} is based on.

Anita Pallenberg
The Sixth Rolling Stone & Ex Lover to Brian Jones, Keith Richards, and Mick Jagger.. been following this one for some time..

Bob Dylan

Joan Baez

Doris Day

Yea, most of my wiki-ing is about people... other peoples' lives fascinate me.. it cant be helped...

And so ive somewhat come to the conclusion.. im going to submit to the iphone.. its lame anda bit over the top for my use.. but i realize i really enjoy sitting and reading wikipedia in bars.. stupid as it sounds.. its a very enjoyable act...

cutes..

geez.

everyone's such crabby patties these days...
it really brings one down...

i need/want

alot lately...

Dont really feel much anymore.. so i want alot..
so i feel like im working my tookus off for some pointless reason...

From Bittersweet

black has always been in..

um.. i desperately need this..
if u ever loved me.. get this for me..

unkle karl is so cute

Bespoke has loss its semantic value

a woman's scorn

yea i riffled through nymag for interesting tidbits.. cuz im bored
leave me alone about it... maybe in a bit after eating ill bring u
a little something else..

And hilarity ensues...

good jokes mingled with bad..

Andrew Andrew tells awkwardly funny jokes

Brooklyn kids take the cake

Copywriters are sometimes funny..
ok fine all the time..

i needed to make myself chuckle.

new favorite...

WWD BLOG

im really...

bored lately... ive been working too much.. and smoking too little..
so im somewhere in between getting fat.. or feeling empty...
just all around blah... i need a mind vacay...


i have a new mantra.

it breaks the heart

nymag just did an article on the ghost bikes around the city...

seriously, go through the slide show.. its really heart wrenching,
the mini stories about each ghost bike... and to add a personal twinge to it...
craig murphey's in it as well.. totally was in tears reading about his death...
so many people died from bike accidents last year.. its a little alarming..

please be careful while riding.

The splendid work of Johan Odmann




A little something from Bogosey:
The intense work of Paolo Roversi

Ps. thanks for the nice kindness words of one post down.
they cheered me up definitely.. people are lame sometimes
and i have no clue why i let it bother me so.. but im working
on letting it go... yeaaaaaaaaaaaa..

Two songs i cant seem to stop cycling is:
Smiths- Reel around the fountain
Morrissey- Bengali in platforms
too fucking good.

Oh and double pss.
I got my first record ever..
Smiths' Strangeways, Here We Come... $18
haggling it down $2... priceless..

Geez when did i become obsessively so..

old silver fox himself... but u know who i blame for this right!?

And lastly, here's amazing from Hedi Slims.

feelings time.

blah blah blah long story short.. at some point in the night, last night someone referred to me as being evil.. obviously not to my face.. and later on when i found out i blew it off like whateves... but then this morning, while i was getting ready... all the thoughts came crashing down, weighing on my brain... Am i really evil? I mean enough so that someone felt the need to say it in such a manner as to bad mouth me... Its such a harsh distasteful word.. but it made me cycle through all these thoughts.. And it just came down to, i've always tried to live my life as honest as possible.. and in certain instances i am indecisive and foolish... or even a little too reactionary, but does that make me evil? I feel like most of things, my indecision and whatnot, stem from insecurity.. and lack of faith in myself... like with most of the things i can never trust my own feelings day to day.. but does this make me a bad person..

ugh so lame.. i know i shouldnt take what she said so personally.. but it definitely made me think.. not hurt my feelings so much, but put forth all these negative thoughts into my brain.. ugh i hate that... that people with theyre meaningless words have so much weight and gravity to me.. that it affects my being....

people suck sometimes...i just wish they'd keep they're negativities to themselves..

double lame sauce.

she's my fave.

Charlotte Rampling

pretty things.
