dope throwback: TORI AMOS

yes. tori amos, she’s ill. my big sister and her friends would take me to dope shows when i was like 12. i saw her perform a couple times. i know what you’re going to say – but i’m not an indigo girl. i might love granola, vegan desserts and seitan…but i shave my legs and i don’t hate men.

this video both scared and intrigued me.

***ps. i know i haven’t posted in dumb long, so i will do my best to post some mo’!

pre-sensual seduction

everyone has seen that amazing video by SNOOP for SENSUAL SEDUCTION, but check this out. it reminds me of this video DIANE MARTEL did for SNOOP & LATOIYA WILLIAMS a while back.

HOW TO: crash a company party

better late than never, right. here is my GUIDE TO CRASHING A COMPANY PARTY (that you work for or no longer work for).

1. make sure you absolutely CAN get in. find out who is working the door and work it out!

2. wear something nice. not too revealing. let’s keep it in good taste peoples.

3. go with other people. solo ain’t so cute for these functions.

4. two drink maximum! being drunk around the bosses and interns isn’t the look.

5. don’t overstay your welcome, keep your stay short and sweet. long visits are for your real friends. work is work.

NY Times x 1992

oh my god! sunday afternoon, and i’m passed out at 1pm. i get a bbm from GABE T saying, “HOLY SH*%”!!! then he says “WAKE UP…i get the paper every morning – you should try it”. then i check my emails and i have one from BEN DETRICK with a link to the article he wrote about 1992 for the NEW YORK MOTHER EFFING TIMES!!! its been published!



it’s out and for the first time, i’m reading the paper. i’m sure i just exposed myself as a moron, but i’m an…um…artist…and i understand the world through pictures (yeah, that’s it).

just an FYI, i’m not 27 i’m actually 15 and they should have used a picture of OSCAR and I…but they’ll get it right next time when we’re on the cover :)

thanks to BEN for giving us the opportunity! thanks to RADIO ROSE for the champers at LOVELY DAY to celebrate! thanks to everyone who supports 1992!!!
