once a fleshy flower
silky as the crease inside the bend of my limbs
the beauty is fleeting
relative-ly
a face with folds like petals crushed
but your lingering scent permeates my mind
come lay down the melancholy blanket like a dear old friend

This girl
Has great style. I'm loving the details along with her big picture. That dress, the shoulders, the colors (a soft blue-grey with red.. umm yes!), blue pedicure, accessories and the haircut. This is confidence, sensuality, strong & feminine. She owns it!

I like Yinka Shonibare's convergence of color, texture, textiles, racial identity, appropriated culture, fashion, debauchery, and his reinterpretation of Western art. It doesn't hurt that he's charming as heck either. (images via acidolatte)

I'm really, really, really feeling the visual onslaught, and music knowledge of Freddy Allen Anzure from local design studio, props (www.p-r-o-p-s.com/). Sifting through his blog, videos and portfolio, inspired me to revisit a photo I have been working, and reworking for what seems like forever. Finally, the Milky Galactic Skull (below) can rest easy.
Now jones out and enjoy the view while watching the awesome Dam-Funk video for his Toeachizown album.

All hail McQueen!
After watching Alexander McQueen's latest Spring 2010 collection, all I am want to do is bow down and kiss the collective feet of folks who put this collection (and show) together. From the styling, makeup, runway concept, clothing and accessories.... I melt in the creative genius!
My only gripe is the last song played during the final exits. I believe it is a new Lady Gaga single debuted, but all I can think of is "gag gag"-ing from the sound of it. I inserted my own soundtrack below, recently discovered and giving me electric booty shocks each time I press play.
Now onto the visuals!

Style.com's coverage. Check out Daphne Guinness' ghoul eyes!
My favorite looks:

Top to bottom amazing prints, colors and soft-sculpted construction.

This soft volume is dreamy.

My first thought was McQueen's take on Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth

This black/midnight blue offering gets me very excited. I am loving that steel-plated patent shoe goodness.

More dark excitement, but as a razor-sharp 80's, sci-fi onesie.

I thought this look encompassed everything about this show: liquid, ocean, sci-fi, medieval, reptilian, goddess, shape, texture (scales), alien, aftermath, rebirth.

What can one say about this? It is AMAZING! Shells, fins, and coral reef formations. It's hard to articulate.
Details

This is feeling very underwater, organic, cosmic. Reminds me of my friend Mario's (aka MARS-1) work.

Like delicate, flaky, outer layer formations of a giant clamshell.

The sick beading detail on these trousers.

The nails are the best I've ever seen! I want.

Simple, yet clever idea. Dangerous even...
The shoes, the shoes! I'm speechless over these.

This is my birthday moon. A month late, but fitting on a full waxed moon evening. I love these nights. Stirring amidst, acting out, moving, creating, laughter, music and love. Howling optional...
