Comin' Out

The Ewan dress made its first public appearance to much adieu. This is the first sample dress in my size, the Yoko dress previously published is my first sample size in small (not my size).

Wore this dress to a swanky party held at Groth Vineyards for my friend's 40th birthday party. We met in 10th grade. Happy Birthday Ms. Suzy Q. G. Jones. Your party was really really fun.

All four designs for the dresses (one yet to be shown here) are being made right now.

I'll be selling at Indie Mart - San Francisco's newest cool place to get original clothing and have a beer and take over a street for the day. Being accepted into this supra-cool event is quite the compliment. Thank you, Kelly.

NOVEMBER 8, 2009. DON'T FORGET. If you read this FarmBlog, you'll get something in the mail. And in your inbox and probably at any tollbooth you pass through on a daily basis. And in the bathroom at Zeitgeist too.

Lichtenstein Sneaks

my friend Timm recently showed up for a visit from Boston wearing these unbelievable shoes designed by Puma with Roy Lichtenstein in mind.

mind-blowing is more like it. JEALOUS!
(nice going, puma)

Her Rock and Roll Is Beautiful

this dress is brand new but already has a heady history.

it is about a dedication thurston gave to yoko at a concert at which i was backstage. when thurston gave the dedication, "this song is for yoko ono, her rock and roll is beautiful," she smiled really really big and clapped her hands and told me how far out they (sonic youth) are.

i've painted this image of yoko before. the simplicity is delicious. the dress is too.

Dark side of the all-star?

it's hard to tell you the difference between me putting a drawing i've made of yoko ono onto a silky, pretty dress with other original art...and other fashion items like this bag made from kurt cobain's death cover or these chucks splattered with pink floyd imagery.

one is cool: mine, and
one is gross: theirs.

i'd rather not be a part of this world that obsesses over the faces and lives of people we don't know personally...but i am. my dresses are original art and that makes them different than this kind of merchandising...but only by a hair, really. a skinny hair.
