Party on Wayne!


Happy New Year!

Been pretty disconnected lately but returning for a little party with some friends. Thought Outfit mercilessly until this little ensemblah came about.



I'm wearing Betsey Johnson hotpants my friend Wendy gave me. Included is a crown made of twisted metal and pearls that I wore for my first wedding. a silver cuff bracelet from mexico, a handmade beaded necklace from my friend, Karla and a rhinestone necklace from the Luxor gift shop in Vegas.



It's all very rad isn't it? I'm feeling good. Hope you are too.
Enjoy your friends, your family and a frisky fun outfit adventure.

Posthumous Party Post: excellent night was had with lots of dancing and overall sense of freedom of expression and warm acceptance. What more could one ask for? Dare I say I feel positive about 2010 so far?

All Dressed Up...

Finally every dress of my first run has arrived. Photos of each, front & back, below.

It's unreal to live with a dream come true every day. You'd think i'd be ecstatic, but I'm kinda scared. Then again, if you're not scared of what you're doing, it's probably not something worth doing.

These dresses are really versatile. Some like to wear the "V" in the front, others like it in the back. It fits larger boobs too. The medium fits my double-C, 5'2" sister, she is adorable in the Ewan. I'm a "B" and 5'11" and the medium looks great on me too. Size small will be for skinny girls up to 5'8". Since it's an A-Line, however, it fits less-than-skinny girls as well.

The dresses are fully-lined, very fine poly with a silk feel. They get softer with each dry cleaning. The most distinguishable quality, besides the art (ha!) is how intense the color is. The special dying process has enriched the color and sheen of the fabric like none other I've seen.

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.
