My favorite “entertainment” in Japan would definitely have to be food. Next to eating great sushi, YAKITORI restaurants would have to be 2nd favorite. This is one of my favorite yakitori places in Japan. They spread out all the food on basket woven dishes. Some of it is already skewered, and then …

I often get pigeon holed into an idea when I am going through the process of constructing a garment. Last year when I was working on my thesis I got obsessed with stitching together different fabrics together, i.e. patchwork. I experimented mainly with spandexy textures, as well as lace.

Truffle ice cream. It doesn’t get much more indulgent than this. I’ve never seen something so beautiful. I’m starting the Creme Anglaise here, which is the base for many ice creams.

I love Flushing Market in Queens. I know its a super far train ride, and the cab ride back (I can’t hold groceries through a subway with HEELS) is pretty expensive, but I sporadically make the trip to find ingredients I can’t find here. Its also good for when you have a friend who …

You know what they say…More things change the more they stay the same…. Me circa late eighties/early nineties… Me now… Lately I have been wearing this same formulaic uniform. Very cliched and typical of people who dress to look “different” but really its less about being “different” and more about differential uniforms. Never understood the [...]

Drugs have all types of healing properties.  Tylenol helps mild headaches, Midol gets you through when the first day of flow comes and you’re completely fucked.  Tylenol PM makes you pass out (although it won’t keep you passed out).  Alcohol on the other hand, well do I really have to explain the benefits/side effects? No. [...]

Adding a dash of Peter Lindbergh in here. Animal Pelt (fox fur) scarf. Getting Dark. Uniform: Alexander wang sweater, alaia thigh highs, trippnyc jeans, pierre hardy bag.
