The April/May edition of BUST just landed in my mailbox, and hot damn if it isn't a doozy. For one thing, I had the immense pleasure of interviewing the Ai sisters for a feature on their line Ai for Ai. Elizabeth and Carol were incredibly sweet, even after I made them sit in their sunny LA studio and listen to all my bitching about the snow in NYC (this was back in February) via Skype. Thanks ladies! I also have another little piece a few pages later all about affordable online shopping, including a shout out to Spotted Moth.
The best part of opening this issue, however, was stumbling across none other than Ashley of Fancy Fine all up in the main editorial, looking, dare I say it, both fancy and fine in a shoot that also features Hannah's gorgeous underthings. Phew, where to even start! A big congrats to both of them--and props to BUST for keeping me in such good company :n )
Back when Chioma was wowing us all in her amazing Boxing Kitten jumpsuit, it certainly never occurred to me that I might be meeting with its creator on a rainy November afternoon in Chinatown. But: life is frickin' weird. For the February/March 2011 issue of BUST Magazine, I had the immense pleasure of interviewing designer Maya Amina Lake, who happens to make clothes that are almost as rad as she is.
A piece of mine in the October/November issue of BUST Magazine, about Sheena Matheiken and the Uniform Project. I'm so glad to see that phase two of the Project is going so well! So far they've chosen really amazing girls to participate, and raised a good deal of money for some really worthwhile causes. On a side note, I've added a link on the sidebar to my new online Portfolio. It's kinda a work in progress (in so many ways!) but so far I've got most of my published pieces and styling work up. Have a look--and feel free to pass it on to anyone who you think might benefit from my services ;n )
I've been hearing rumblings that the August/September issue of BUST has been officially unleashed on the world, so I think it's safe for me to finally unveil something I've been excited about for many weeks now.
Back in June, I was invited, along with Elizabeth, Jenny and Angel, to be one of four amazing, blogging ladies to be featured in a special Fall fashion preview. When Lisa, one of the editors, suggested we wear a favorite local or indie designer of ours, I immediately thought of my friend Caycee Black and her sweet, eponymous line. I ended up wearing one of her gorgeous heavy knit sweaters, along with some odds and ends from my closet. We were also asked to make up a little wishlist for fall--sadly, my crappy scan totally obliterated the American Apparel sweater down in the corner, but that means you'll just have to check it out for yourself in print!Endless thanks goes out to Lisa (who has an amazing blog of her own) and everyone else at BUST for being so amazing and sweet and badass! And for treating me so dang good, seriously, whatever I did to deserve this, it must have been pretty awesome...
(click photo to enlarge)Remember when I told you guys I had something exciting in the works with BUST? Well, here 'tis! For the current August/September issue (featuring Diablo Cody on the cover) I had the immense privilege of meeting and interviewing Alison Lewis, whose new line Lewis is sorta blowing up (and for good reason, I got to attend her trunk sale and fondle everything and I gots to say it is all 1000% gorgeous. For serious.)
Alison is in fact the cutest thing ever created, and she even invited me back over for the photoshoot, which took place in her adorable little apartment (though I ended up being late and pretty much missing the whole thing, pooo) where I got to squeeze in a sweaty hand shake (mine not hers) with Sarah Sophie Flicker, who didn't even seem to mind that I couldn't stop staring at her (so tall! So tiny! Such long hair! SO PREEETTTYYY!)
Anyways, the result? A whole frickin' page in the magazine, half covered with text written by yours truly.
Holy. Crap! You guys. Excited doesn't even begin to cover it...
