DRUGS OF YOUTH.

Finally, Käärme's second collection, FAST DRUMS NUMB GUMS, has arrived. I couldn't be more stoked. I'm so tired that I almost typed "stokeder," What you see in the lookbook that isn't available in the shop yet will be up there later on today.

So much work went into this collection. We toiled. We tweaked. We re-tweaked. We molded. We hammered. We shaped, stamped and tramped, I feel like I just ran a marathon, minus the physical triumph. In essence, it was totally worth it -- thanks to the horde of carnies and Big Book-thumping psychotic throwbacks (aka our retail customers), our wholesale customers, and a few other very special elite juggalos (u KnOw wHo U aRe), we're getting ready to enter the production stage of the spring/summer collection. It's been surreal to experience this little label grow from just a handful of t-shirts to a cornucopia of incredibly crafted RTW and a horde of carnie nutcases who faithfully don our freakwear. We're super thankful for the overwhelming amount of positive response & support; expect much, much more in the very remote future. In the meantime, enjoy our blood, sweat, and tears by wearing it while you bleed, sweat, and cry.

I recently received some mind-blowing jewelry from Australian unisex jewelry label Drawn & Quartered. When I say "mind-blowing," I mean crazy fucking incredible. Like, you wear the shit and it takes your breath away in such a fashion that you nearly suffocate and drop dead. So, I'll be styling that gorgeous stuff on here in my next post. This nonsensical psychospeak is actually relevant: I'm enthralled to announce that Drawn & Quartered and Käärme are collaborating on some criminally badass jewelry. And I'm sorry to say that it is going to be mandatory once ya'll get wind of it. You've been warned.

More soon! &hearts

SLAVE TO CONVENTION.

Endovanera cloak, Ann-Sofie Back safety pin top, Actual Pain leggings, Margiela heels, Givenchy bag. All jewelry courtesy of Adelina Mictlan.






I don't have to say much about Adelina Mictlan's new collection; the pieces speak for themselves. Here I am sporting my rose gold 2-finger DOOM ring (this is now available in sterling and black or white powder-coat), my new VI VI VI slave bracelet (how amazing is it?), crescent moon earrings (these come in a larger version as well), and borrowed my husband's ram skull necklace because it goes so well with the rest of the pieces. I kept with the theme by pairing everything with these occult leggings by Actual Pain, and my Margiela "hoof" heels which compliment the rusty rose gold tone of Mictlan's jewelry. The Endovanera cloak always reminds me of that sludge band SUNN O)))))))




We're working hard to get Kaarme's new lookbook online within the next couple of days and have the new pieces available to purchase later on this week. This collection cost so much blood, sweat, and tears but is SO worth it and I have to say I'm very proud. I'll keep yall posted. xo

THROTTLE YA BLUE.

Jac Vanek t-shirt, Twisted Lamb x Skingraft leggings, Skingraft talon bag, Balenciaga s/s '11 boots, "Suspendo" pendant by Käärme, Ann-Sofie Back shade,. devil's hand cuff courtesy of Actual Pain, shit-ton of sterling rings.






Too exhausted to do some actual blogging, so here is this post lazily briefly summarized:

1) My hair is turquoise. Love it.
2) My bag and leggings are both from Skingraft. Love them.
3) The amazing huge stone cocktail rings were sent to me courtesy of Hard Candy Gems. I have some exciting news re: HCG to share in the remote future. Be excited, be-be excited. Jucify you! Love it.
4) The script tattoo on my arm is new and says "Easy Livin'," my little homage to Uriah Heep. Love it.
5) I can't take off our Suspendo (hanged man) pendant. He'll be available for purchase soon -- the Fast Drums, Numb Gums lookbook will go live on 010312, and the new merchandise will be hitting the webshop HARD by 011112. Love it.

Hope you all had joyful holidays! I, myself, am anti-joy. Therefore, I spent Christmas morning (after watching my son devour his mountain of presents, of course) watching the Lifetime Movie Network in footie PJs, eatching Ben and Jerry's peach cobbler ice cream.

FAST DRUMS, NUMB GUMS.

Some previews of Käärme's new lookbook for our second collection, Fast Drums Numb Gums. The collection in its entirety will be available for purchase through our webshop the first week of January 2012. Ring in the new year by bludgeoning someone with the messenger bag, right? Much thanks to Al Gar for posing for our pictures and looking badass in the clothes.


Suspendo (aka the hanged man)

I've been absolutely swamped in every way recently, but I promise I will give myself a kick in the ass and start being a proper blogger. Tomorrow I'll be doing a feature post on the incredible new Adelina Mictlan collection. My husband has been rocking the rose gold ram skull pendant nonstop, and I am waiting on a really fucking cool slave bracelet that, true to its name, will probably never leave my hand. Gentlemen, I know you're scrambling to buy your lady the perfect xmas gift ... rest assured, she will not snub her nose at these:


powder-coated brass triple pyramid stud ring in black or white.


tall sterling etched cuff.


me wearing my 2-finger rose gold DOOM ring. So many people compliment me on this ring; it's gotten to the point that when I wear it out, I put a bunch of Ms. Mictlan's business cards in my bag before I leave the house. They're usually all gone by the time I get home, haha.

Not only are these pieces (and a boatload of others on the A. Mictlan web shop) ready to ship (most Adelina Mictlan pieces have a 3+ week wait, as they are made to order), but they're really affordable as well, especially for the quality of Ms. Mictlan's work. And just look at them. Who wouldn't want to wear this stuff on the regs?

Hope the holidays aren't kicking your asses too hard ,,, don't forget to kick back, drink a pumpkin latte (I recommend 7-11's rendition of the beverage) and just relax. I hate seeing people miserable around the holidays because they are under a titanic amount of stress. It's not worth it! &hearts
