CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT.







T-shirt c/o VOW, Kaarme "Gemini" studded cutoffs, vintage David Ackerman boots, Skingraft talon bag, pink druzy ring c/o Hard Candy Gems, "split" stone ring c/o Union Studio, earrings c/o Vanessa Mooney, bracelet via eBay, all other rings vintage sterling.





VOW makes the best destroyed tees. I received this super soft one awhile back, which is part of their second collection. If destroyed is not your jam, VOW also offers non-destroyed versions of all of their designs.

I'm on a roll, yeah? More soon. xo

BLACK LACE.







No. 666 tee c/o Killer Condo, faux leather laced-up pants via eBay, Ann Demeulemeester triple-lace boots, Jil Sander shades, BOYY Slash bag, pink druzy & speckled jasper cocktail rings (right index & middle) c/o Hard Candy Gems; "Love Angels" rosary necklace, tri-color "Serpent" ring (left middle), & "Poison" earrings c/o Vanessa Mooney; lapis ring (left index) & random sterling ring (right ring) both vintage, all bracelets purchased by Bobby in Europe except for the Tiffany's padlock.






I got these pants for dirt cheap off of glorious eBay, along with a cornucopia of other sick pants, leggings, and overalls (yes, overalls -- and yes, I made them look badass), which you'll see in the very remote future. The shirt was sent to me from the amazing people over at Killer Condo ... it is also available in black, which I have as well. KC's tees are so soft and whenever I wear them out, I get a slew of "omg-where-did-you-get-that-shirt" compliments from passer-bys. Love, love, love. I'm also loving my new pink druzy ring, courtesy of Hard Candy Gems. HCG's treasures are not only stand-out gaudy-gorgeous, but amazingly comfortable; both my husband and I wear their rings on a daily basis. I have purchased statement pieces online for triple the price of what a Hard Candy Gems piece runs for, only to be disappointed by the crappy quality. Trust this woman when I say this to you right now: you CANNOT go wrong with HCG.




I'm going to end this post on an extremely positive note by making a very exciting announcement. I'm so honored that Troma Productions (the legendary horror film company responsible for classics like the Toxic Avenger series, Terror Firmer, and Blood Sucking Freaks) contacted the nefarious scoundrels at Käärme Concepts and asked us to provide the costumes for their current production, Return to Nuke 'Em High. Return to Nuke 'Em High will be the fourth installment in the Nuke 'Em High series (read more on Nuke 'Em High here, and we at Käärme are majorly pumped to see our gear on the Cretins, the leading ladies, and the other cast members. So we're warning you now: watch Return to Nuke 'Em High when it unleashes itself on Netflix, Redbox, On Demand, etc etc etc, or we'll make sure the next joint you smoke is radioactive weed and you puke a baby monster into a toilet bowl ;)


Class of Nuke 'Em High - 1986

More soon! I've been killin' it with semi-frequent posting, yeah?

I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD.

A few [interesting] things about this post:

1) My mother-in-law had these amazing sunglasses custom-made for her in Paris in 1972. She was/is wayyy ahead of her time.

2) Also ahead of their time was my husband, who wore this exact pendant that I wear in this shoot for over 10 years. This is probably the most well-known photo of Bobby, taken in 1982 ... in it, he's wearing the pendant I wear in this set of photos in 2012:



This is one of the many reasons I love fashion: here is my old man wearing a pendant onstage in 1982 that I wear in a set of photos taken 30 years apart.



Aside from my own pair pictured here, we have only 1 pair of the Maverick jean left in the "goldrush" and "bloodspill" colorways, and they're both size small/medium.

Mooooore soon. 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.
