my little prayer for new york

we're leaving in a few minutes to ny. what started as a business trip is turning into a big holiday. i guess we have to go back in february for business.

all orders will be shipping on monday.

and then new jewerly and possibly a new dress called renee will be added before valentines day.

the piano

i just began learning how to play, and my motivation is one of the most beautiful films of all time. the soundtrack is mind blowing.
lately i've been thinking about where i want to be when i'm old. i'm not sure about the big issues (like kids, or what city), but a couple things are definite. i want to be able to play my future baby grand piano fluently and i want to have a small harley davidson. the tough part is i have to start working hard at both visions now. bikram yoga will help me hold up a harley one day. thanks han for making me go to that first class.

bad news for all the gulus out there

judi rosen has announced that she won't be shipping her spring 09 collection that i've been patiently waiting for. after having her line made locally with love and not much profit, the entire line is now in jeopardy, and i'm really hoping it's temporary. it's such a shame that we'll never see her amazing spring designs.. it was full of floral denim, tight zipper mini dresses and flowy cut out dresses. good thing i am lucky enough to have that peacock dress in my closet. there are still some more left of her website as well as other good stuff. www.judirosenny.com. and we still have some denim left here in the shop.hope you come back soon judi.

only stone and steel accept my love

i'm straight back to listening to strictly only MORRISSEY ever since we got the secret copy of the new morrissey album. once i get the fever i just can't stop. and then john went and gave me some serious goosebumps yesterday when he showed me this new video, the best song on the whole album. it's SOOO GOOOD LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and don't worry haters, i'll be paying for the crap out of that album once it's officially released.

she loves you for all that you're not

merry christmas by the way. this is what nova looks like now. no, i don't know what's going on with that miniature head on that fat body. dear tiff,
remember when we were best friends and we lived together and every time either one of us would come home the other one would pretend to be asleep in whatever position they happened to be in?
tiffany taught me the biggest most important rule in makeup, back when it wasn't as obvious: choose either the eyes or the lips, never EVER both.
i recently found out my bona drag stock/shipping room is haunted. that room is always about 15 degrees colder. i'm pretty sure he lives in the closet because sometimes he won't let me open the door. i took this spooky picture of our house around halloween time:

vintage on ebay

just a few great finds from our friends casey and rockytop's ebay store, called american archive.

a lovely pheasant feather dress. wear it with our pheasant fascinator.

a party dress with a great big bow

what a great purple dress. wear it to work with heels in your purse and go straight to party time.these floral dr martens are totally the best! hannah found them and originally gave them to me, but i have that skinny leg disease so i can't wear them. so bummed.

and a cool pair of justin boots.
