I kindly ask that we all boycott The Marriott now because of this: http://jezebel.com/5336871/connecticut-marriott-claims-assault-victim-was-careless-and-negligent

"Bitch was asking to be raped" is not a suitable business approach. EPIC FAIL.

On heavy rotation:
Big Black (especially "Bad Penny")
The Birthday Party
The Gun Club-I've concluded my favorite line from a song ever is "We can fuck forever but you will never get my soul"-Sexbeat
I'm taking suggestions in the vein of miserable bastard post-punk/punk rock. Go ahead.

Massachusetts is number 8 for underage drinking, no surprises there.

Christian LaCroix second season in a row for me has been absolutely amazing.

Number one is probably going to be seen on my beloved Helena Bonham Carter sometime soon and that partially explains my obsession with it. Number two is just wow, I love the black bow detail and the sleeves and well, all of it.

You can see the entire collection here  http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/F2008CTR/review/CLACROIX

Some of it is a touch 80s but it feels very Victorian inspired to me.  And can we all just agree that I pretty much need to own every hat used in this fashion show.

Curious to see how many of you love this!

This what we need to go back to:

This is who inspires me right now:

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” -Coco Chanel

Who's with me?

I used to be the only person on livejournal who listed Daphne Guinness as an interested today there are two more people on this site who are interested in the world's greatest living heiress. Also, my friend Jamie knows who she is and thinks she's fabulous. I don't know, am I at the forefront of a Daphne Guinness trend? 

Also, I have a life and stuff happens and I don't really like writing about it because I feel petty and boring. 

ANYWAYS, THE FANTASTIC MISS D:

She is divine, isn't she?
