manson truely started the revolution.

whether youd like to believe it or not, he has been there done that. pushing the limits and breaking the F**K right through them, manson has always been one to make a statement and make people talk. "if people arent talking , then why do they have mouths"-m.manson once said in an alternative press interview in the mid 90s. hes conquered so many fashion trends that are now in current rotation. the defined shoulder, the androgynous look, excentric makeup and face paint, over the top hats, torn and ripped to shred get ups and a hue F**K YOU attitude that most these days try and filter through their style. i praise him not only for his music but for his impact and inspiration on my career as a creative individual that produces garements not only for the purpose of warmth and coverage but garments that with make them talk.



finally a new update

ive been computerless for a good amount of time now.
thanks to geeksquad, im back in the game.
so much has happened but to trim the top of the list

i made a dress for London Fierce's xmas performance at mustache mondays this past week. she looked amazing. ill post a pic when i get one.

im working on our next project, which is a costume for her (london) performance on NYE. Ive been searching long and hard for some inspiration, i mean i have a n idea of what i wanna do but im still open to new ideas.

its almost xmas, but i dont feel the same about it as i would like 10 years ago lol

to end this quick update imma post some pix that i found today and have not stopped examining them lol

(ORIGINAL SONG)


DESIGNER DRUGS REMIX:

25 looks from one of my favorite designers

Jean Charles De Castlebajac- is a Moroco born fashion designer. ive posted about him before. I recently saw LAdy Gaga wearing one of his couture pieces, if u guessed which one i wouldnt be surprised, but it was the kermit the frog mini caplet/coat? imnot sure what it is but its fucking crazy. so here are most of the looks from the show...
I would just post a video but its soooo hard to find an official one.






We are as electric, as the blood that flows through our brains

i love fischerspooner.

super rad




a few looks for you ladys and gents to ponder about the next time your getting ready for a night out on the town, or simply just to look cute going to work haha


gotta love COLOUR!







no matter how dark each collection is getting from everyother designer (it seems like maybe 2 out of every 5) , i love when the spring/resort collections start peeking through. i found some looks that will brighten your outlook on a near dark fall season.

new item

i call it the "stingray vest" because of its shape and when you lay it out it resembles a stingray, OH! minus the tail haha




its white nylon/jersey blend fabric with glitter spots all over.






to me its UNISEX because i would and probably will wear it out one day if i dont sell it first.


it drapes very nice in the front, and the back is pinguin style. the pix dont do it justice but here they are...







wait.....and you shall recieve



so good news, i got some info about a store (wont be named until i find out more info) that is looking to carry the collections of new designers. so im already getting ready my fashion show that has now been moved til september. All i have to do is pull 20 garments that i think best represent my line and present them to the store in about a week and a few days. im super excited but also very much nervous. wish me luck!




oh and while N o T finishing my garments that i need to get done....ive made a few side projects. ive made two necklaces out of old necklaces that i used to wear. look what the outcome was.


the pix arent high quality but i dont care, shove it!


this on is made out of those lil plastic beads that as a child in school we would put them on flat molds of happy faces and hearts and the teacher would iron them and we would put them on necklaces. i dunno if you get it but yeah...

heres the next one


this one is composed of lots of distressed silver chains, all different sizes and types of chain, and each one has a zipper head on them. they are all tangled with eachother but i think it gives it a better effect plus after a night of dancing with this on it will look like this anyways hahaha

contact me if you have any questions about them:

"Nothing I could tell you, YOU look Good when you wear it well"

Alright SO what ive been absent for a little bit, i mean a pretty long time but i still dont have my computer back but im forcing myself to deal with this slow 1980's machine i have sitting on my counter at home.



Lots of things have been going on but im not going to bore anyone with those details. Rather show you pix from the last few weeks since turning 24 in Las Vegas. First off, im really obsessed with Balmain. I know everyone and their mothers are too but I swear if i was a chick i would own almost every piece of their collections. There are MANY and i say MANY knock off balmain dresses but when you see a girl in an original you will know it. These looks are from the RTW Fall 2009 collection. Lots of grey, black, silver, studs and the ever so flashy...SEQUINS!


I heart balmain <3

im so fucking FAMOUS hahaha



i refused to use this piece of crap computer we were loaned until our computer was finsihed getting repaired but ive had the itch to update because its now been over a month since i last updated this b**** ! haha





so my first update is going to be about "people who put huge 5x6 famous stars and straps stickers on their vehicles"





what is that all about?


i mean what kind of status do they think it gives them. i understand having a band sticker, or a college you attend or attended, a sports team you love or even a memorial sticker(which i dont totally agree with either). Seriously though, what the hell does having a big huge FUCKING "F" on your car mean?


we all know your not the owner of the company, and that its definitely not a company car lol





im really taken back by this, i see them everywhere... in the valley (818), santa clarita valley and OF COURSE the good ole Orange County (the OC, lol)





does it indicate that your "FAMOUS"? because thats an even more lame reason to post it up on your car hahaha





if you have one on your car, your pathetic





if you know someone with one on their car, tell them they are pathetic





if you see someone driving with one on their car, honk at them and flip them off for me hahahaa

im done for now, back to sketching and reconstructing a few vintage dresses

having creative friends really pays off.





















This past weekend (sunday) i had my first shoot for my clothing line. We used my designs and collaborated to set up a few mini sets to shoot on. Nini and Randy (aka London Fierce) did hair and makeup, Aimee & Jamil set up the sets with all of our help aswell and they all came out amazing. I dont have any of the final shots from the photographer yet but wheni do you know i will be putting them up. I do have some behind the scenes pix of the models, the sets and just us hanging out. Its was so nice to have everything run smoothly. Working with friends is the best because you can collaborate and have your ideas thought out while still being able to get stuff done. Im so excited for whats to come next. Thanks to everyone that helped and put their input, it never goes unnoticed!
