we went to the morrissey convention in LA last sunday. why wouldn't we want to be in a drunk room full of people that feel exactly the same way we do?

PAMELA LOVE

stylelikeu did a great feature on pamela love.. watch the video here.
pamela loves lindsey thornburg cloaks..
and shes wears the silver talon cuff and the silver crow skull necklace.. two of my personal favs.
she also just did a guest blog for opening ceremony.. read the stories behind her personal jewelry collection here.

heather grey

ronnie and christina in all grey. we had drinks after this photo shoot, and i learned that ronnie's favorite sienfeld character is george (same as me). then christina invented loving ronnie. me and hannah call christina the inventor (it used to be question master). she doesn't know that until now.

vintage

our current picks from american archive:
yes, these are cat faces all over this dress:

natalie portman is one smart bitch

"factory farming of animals will be one of the things we look back on as a relic of a less-evolved age."

miserable now

morrissey, bourbon, best friends.. a utopian but deadly combo

bona drag in the wild

or just in magazine spreads. the samantha pleet poppy suit in teen vogue.

the pamela love crow necklace in jalouse

and in hobo magrumi wearing clover

say you're alive

i walked into the casbah about 7 years ago to see cinerama play. me and lindsey went early cause we were real thirsty back then. there was no one there, except for the opening band who was already in mid set. five girls staring stoically into space, swaying to their own sad songs. it was love at first sound and i wasn't even drunk yet. me and lindsey just looked at each other, saying without saying "holy crap, what just happened"

it was the organ.

they've broken up since then. i think we both pretty much wished we were lesbians that night.

the lead singer, katie sketch.

but the point of my story, is this AMAZING song i found a while back. it's katie singing with a band called mermaids.. i've tried to find more stuff but it looks like they just played a couple times in 2007.

if anyone knows how to get in touch with more music or katie herself, please let me know. i'd die to get this song on our next compilation cd.
