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?

These are a couple weeks old, I definitely need to get back into the swing of things with blogging. I've been crazy busy between Last Days Here hitting theaters/On Demand and working on Kaarme. Speaking of the former, it was so great to meet some of you guys at the Q&A at the IFC Center in NYC last weekend. I'll be with Bobby for the premier in LA, so if you see me, please come up and say hi! More sooooon. xo
Cephalobong t-shirt and Aggressor studded jacket by Käärme, DIY cutoffs, BOYY Slash bag, Hellraiser shoes courtesy of UNIF, Nosferatu necklace and Victorious Vertebrae ring courtesy of L.S.D., large gemstone rings courtesy of Hard Candy Gems, Bless leather snap bracelets, cheap-o oversized shades.
First off, I have lovely Christine to thank for these amazing shoes. If you're looking for a flat that isn't your run of the mill boring ballerina flat, look no further. UNIF's Hellraisers are the ultimate loafer - comfortable, well-made, and eye-catching for sure. They also come in pink, fyi. You need these shoes. Secondly, I have worn a piece from Hard Candy Gems on here before, but how amazing is the huge green ring? The artist responsible for HCG meticulously wraps these huge gemstones in sterling wire (you can also opt for gold or copper), so the price points are very reasonable. The shop mainly consists of huge statement rings in every color you can imagine, but there is a decent selection of necklaces and earrings as well -- I'll share the rest of my goodies from this shop in a future post. Buyers beware, you will spend hours on Hard Candy's shop drooling over all the amazing statement pieces. Don't say I didn't warn you.
The Aggressor jacket is a piece from our a/w '11 collection and it will be available to purchase next month. I like this piece because it is a moto jacket, but it is made of a lightweight denim, so it's a nice multi-seasonal jacket. I like to wear mine with a hoodie underneath for extra warmth, or just wear it open like here, when the weather is in the mid-60s or so.
We're really glad everyone is digging the new Käärme stuff and thank you for your continued support .. for those of you who picked up an Omen shirt, we'll have another shirt available this weekend that you will appreciate for sure, along with a new piece of jewelry that has been in the works for what seems like forever. Cephalobong was brought to us by the same incredible artist who helped design Snakerider; I really love this shirt. Since the print is a discharge print, it is a nice beige color rather than stark white. And the squid's eyes crack me up. Matt Ferri, you never fail us.
Annnnnd ... the winner of the Snakerider t-shirt giveaway is kaleigh brown (elektrodot@gmail.com). Congrats, we'll be emailing you soon. Snakerider is just about extinct now, so enjoy! &hearts
Fraggle cape by Endovanera, Rodarte zombie t-shirt, Topshop maxi skirt, Jeffrey Cambell Lana boots, BOYY Slash bag, cheap no-name shades, nude leather bracelets by Bless, two-finger rose gold DOOM ring courtesy of Adelina Mictlan, Driftwood Skull ring (Opening Ceremony NYC years ago).
Okay, so I've fallen into the JC Lita trap. So what? This is a well-designed and beautifully crafted shoe, and they make pretty much any outfit look decent. This particular pair is the Lana, which has been described as "Lita's curvy twin." I would say that Lana is more like Lita's sister -- I personally feel Lana has a slightly higher platform (I'm probably wrong) and a much sturdier heel. For me, those things make for a reallly comfortable shoe. I don't know what it is, but I didn't even want to take these off at the end of the day (as a matter of fact, it's nearly 12:AM and I'm still wearing them). So, yes these are SUPER trendy, but I love them. Awesome shoe. I'm tempted to get the black/white jaguar ponyhair version, but my shoe situation is a little out of control right now. Still in love with my Adelina Mictlan doom ring; I've been loving a lot of her stuff lately. Expect a post soon with one of her three-finger (yes, three) rings coming up soon, matched with the first pair of bellbottoms I've worn in 12 years. Yay!

This cape was an early bday present from my husband -- he got it from I Don't Like Mondays, which is the only shop I know of that carries Endovanera. I have to say it's pretty much my most favorite garment in my wardrobe. I wear this piece with everything. It reminds me of the cloaks the guys in SUNN O))) used to wear. I love the gray/green color with the black detailing, the deep hood & pockets, and the sleeves that "hang like sleeve of wizard." Sorry, I had to.
This shirt fits me again; siked! This is about the smallest shirt I'll wear, especially a poly/cotton blend like this one. I've always loved this shirt. The print is sick, and the material is really nice. These sunglasses are great; after seeing the gold-rimmed ones on the amazing Christine, I knew I had to have them. I picked the ones with the black frames, to match my soul.
Much thanks to the lovely people at Joan Shepp for the birthday shoutout on their blog:
in this photo of us (courtesy of Joan Shepp) at the Ivan Grundahl trunk show, I am wearing *the* most amazing Dries Van Noten maryjanes, but you can't see the best part: the chunky heel, which has a holographic-y, oil-in-a-puddle finish. Really been lusting hard over the green clutch from that collection. Also wearing: Ann Sofie-Back safety pin shirt, Topshop maxi skirt.

Pyramid logo hat, Devil's Hand cuff, and Acid Wolf patch all courtesy of Actual Pain, DIY denim vest, Akitsa shirt, H&M jeans, Phi boots, sterling fox ring w/ emerald eyes, sterling butterfly skeleton ring, and quartz crystal drop earring all courtesy of Angela Monaco, Pamela Love cross ring, falcon skull ring courtesy of Blue Bayer Gearworks, BOYY "Slash" bag, Chanel aviators,
Sick-ass goodies from Actual Pain include the infamous pyramid cap in wine embroidery, the Devil's Hand cuff which is surprisingly (and pleasingly) an appropriately subtle, versatile design rather than a crazy statement piece (I also like that it's not oxidized ... might be getting a little sick of that); also this nasty cool Acid Wolf patch with red eyes, which I promptly ironed onto my favorite vest. With my flat iron. We don't even own a real iron; who needs 'em?
Loving Angela Monaco's exquisite rings paired with this cuff ... also have missed these Phi boots a lot, so they have been getting a lot more wear lately. It blows that Phi is gone. Those creeper booties should have a nice comfy place in my closet.
