Right Now I'm Really Into... (Part 2)
1. Sonia Rykiel's line for H&M - coming out this December. Love Sonia Rykiel. Love affordable Sonia Rykiel even better.
2. The dreamy-weird video for I Was Born by High Places, which they shot & edited themselves.
3. Lady Gaga's eyelashes on the cover of Flare magazine. Bonus Points: I'm having a major love affair with pink hair at the moment. Been collecting lots of pink hair pics on the ol' desktop. May even go pink myself. Dunno... Thinking about it... Should I?
4. The Daily Grail for leading me to random stories like the one about this creepy projection made by American futurologist, Paul Saffo, that claims that, due to biotechnology & robot engineering, the rich may develop into a new, longer-living species one day. Soon.
5. The Project Runway in a box-style kits at Target. The Fashion & Figure Drawing set is my favorite and reminds me of an old toy I used to have called Fashion Plates. God, I loved that thing. Wish I kept it. May have to Ebay it back into my life.
6. Devendra Banhart's new album, What Will We Be. One of his previous records, Cripple Crow, is a staple around here, and two of the songs off that, I Feel Like A Child & Long Haired Child, tied as top pick for Billy & I's wedding song. So, we wound up just using both, and when Billy coincidentally ended up running the sound booth for a live video shoot for none other than Devendra Banhart and told him that we were using his tunes for our wedding, he was so friendly & flattered & cool, which gave our song choice(s) a touch of kismet. So, yeah, I might be a taddy bit partial to Devendra.
7. Tim Walker's creepy-cool shots of fall fashion re-imagined ala Tim Burton for Harper's Bazaar. (Note To Self: A Tim Walker Appreciation Post Is Long Past Over Due.)
8. Lights' witchy-trippy video for Fire Night... -xo

Right Now I'm Really Into... (Part 1)
1. The Ten Most Provocative Ads. (Fashion Indie)

2. Arturo Alonso and his company, Gullwing America, updating the Mercedes-Benz 300SL for today's modern car junkie. (The Cool Hunter)
3. Marina And The Diamonds video for Mowgli's Road. The song is cuckoo, and I love when a cool, artsy chick meets a weird visual effect. (MATD MySpace)
4. Stockyard Oatmeal Stout, a dark beer with an amazing chocolate-coffee flavor that is not too sweet and is as unreasonably addictive as you'd imagine a drink packing the triple-threat-wallop of beer-coffee-chocolate might be. Did I mention it's cheap? And readily available at your nearest Trader Joe's? Two Big Bonus Points, if I'm keeping score. (Trader Joe's)
5. The Perlaki Marton shots of Eniko Mihalik rocking her birthday suit for The Room Magazine #10. (Fashion Copious)
6. Collaged Walls. (Apartment Therapy)
7. Lady Gaga's collaboration with filmmaker, Kathryn Ferguson, for Dazed Digital. (Dazed Digital)
8. Loving Frank : A Novel by Nancy Horan. It's the perfect read to snuggle under the covers with this fall. And you may initially pick it up out of a love for or curiosity about Frank Lloyd Wright, but, I promise, if you read through to the end, you will put it down loving Mamah Borthwick Cheney. (Amazon.com)
9. Refinery 29's pretty two page spread on the new vintage-inspired lingerie trend. (Refinery 29)
10. Kirna Zabete. Okay- before you get too excited, I just want to warn you that if you're like 90% of most people, you can not afford to buy the items you are about to see if you follow this lead (like the bitching deco cuff pictured below, or a Rick Owens' shearling jacket, a Lanvin choker, or the kickiest lil embroidered dress by Jason Wu), so the less masochistic among you might want to refrain from clicking thru. However, if you are lucky enough to be counted among the other 10% who can afford to buy something (BiG CONGRATS!) or if you are among those of us self-injurious fashion wannabes, regularly torturing ourselves over images of beautiful things that we can not afford, then, by all means, CLiCK HERE... (Kirna Zabete)
11. A crinkled brushed twill jacket from Forever 21 that, at $27.80, seriously dampens the fire in my belly that ignited after I stared into the Kirna Zabete vortex of hell for a second too long. (Forever 21)
12. Eastwick. Yes, that Eastwick, the cheesy ABC show that is currently making a mockery of John Updike's classic novel, The Witches Of Eastwick, and looks like a low rent knock off when pitted against the winning combination of Nicholson, Pfieffer, Sarandon, and, well, Cher's star power that brought the book to life on the big screen back in 1987. I know. I know! I'm not suppose to like it. But I do. It's my weekly witchy treat. Okay? Am I not allowed one teensy guilty pleasure?

Bondage Gaga
It seems the whole world has gone ga ga for Lady Gaga. She's like today's great omni-pop-presence & she's giving it to us every which way. Here she is naked & wrapped in rope for the current issue of Vogue Japan.

Ga Ga For V
As I mentioned before, the current issue of V magazine, #61, looks so incredible. Have you picked up a copy? I haven't seen it on the stands around here yet, so I might just have to scoot on over to Circus Of Books in Silver Lake to see if they've got some. I need it. I just do. And this behind the scenes video of Mario Testino shooting Lady GaGa for the issue demonstrates that necessity. Right? I mean, a pink poodle & that Magda-esque tan? It's pure fashion hilarity! I still can't really get behind GaGa's music- it's just not my style, but I do absolutely appreciate the creativity she puts into her visuals.

Lady GaGa on Rolling Stone
I haven't really made my mind up about Lady GaGa. I mean, I'm a rock chick, don't usually get into "pop", & (I'm sorry but) "Poker Face" just aint my thing. However, there is something intriguing about her style. This cover she did for Rolling Stone, so obviously shot by David La Chapelle, is a fine example of that & she does come across as quite interesting in the accompanying article. Still, I remain undecided. Guess I'll just have to stay tuned.
UPDATE : I just watched the new Jonas Akerlund-directed video, which I absolutely adore, for Lady Gaga's new tune, "Paparazzi", which I really couldn't care less about. This woman confuses me, damn it. And so, let the ambivalence continue...
