FILM

I pulled out my old Nikon's last week and have been using film again. Real film makes me feel like I'm drinking a Miller High Life. Been having the funnest time ever. Peep the new flair too.. John saw this necklace and he said "when will it end?". It won't John.. it won't.

MUMMIFICATION OF MOMENTS

Mikaylah Bowman photographed the new SOCIETY FOR RATIONAL DRESS dresses for us. I'm adding the uncropped versions of these photos here since I think the originals are so stunning.
Mik Bow is 20 years old, lives in Texas, has a severely striking face and also owns the best vintage chainmail dress ever (below). She's a self taught artist/photographer, is currently a wardrobe designer (has worked under Spike Jonze!), and has taught experimental film making to high school students. Right now she's working on her own film shot on super 8, called Myrmidon. See more of this shoot on our facebook.

EARTH ANGELS

a great article in the current elle features the amazing totem dress by LINDSEY THORNBURG. i'm not sure i'll be able to take this one off once it arrives in the shop later this month..
the article is about influential designers who are turning to nature, sunsets and skylarks for inspiration. so up our alley... it makes me want to go outside and turn my compost.

THE SPIRIT OF THE CANYON

we went for an evening picnic in the canyon for philippa's birthday.
hannah always puts her pamela love rosary to good use. she's been wearing it lately with the Unearthen oil vial necklace and it looks amazing.. it looks kinda scary like it's supposed to be the blood of christ.how's this for scary.
after those ghosts above our heads and the spirit of the canyon scared the crap out of us.. wine took over and we danced to linda ronstadt and the rolling stones. happy birthday phil.

CINEMA 16

brooklyn curator/photographer molly surno (who took the photo used on our current mixtape cd) is having her first Cinema 16 show in LA next week!
Cinema 16 (the nyc based film society founded in 1947) was revived by molly a couple years ago. She pairs a series of short silent films with a live score by local musicians.
previously only held in new york, this is the first show in LA. This particular program will show a series of films based on the california landscape by some of the masters of the 20th century experimental cinema.. transformed by the musical collective Lucky Dragons.
sounds awesome.. we just bought our tickets.
