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

PUNX IS HIPPIES.

New a/w '11 items Omen, Cephalobong, KAAOS 2.0 t-shirts and Living Dead vest just in at the Käärme webshop!

ACQUIRED

Excited about some brand new purchases, soon to be arriving in the mail:



A.F. Vandevorst. The various fabrics and prints plus the Chinese collar won my heart.



Rick Owens. I snagged the last one in black, instead of the white one pictured above. Should be a good staple. I'm always happy with Rick Owens.

I think I can make the Atacomas work with the Vandevorst dress for an unexpected color combo ... if not, I think either my Proenza Schouler platform motorcycle booties or my black Balenciaga boat wedges will suffice. Would also look good with my Balenciaga throwback shades, which I've had for awhile now:



Or else just my standard gray Luxotica aviators with gray-tinted lenses. These are my everyday prescription specs.

Again, sorry for the stock photos, I'll be using my own photos of me in outfits in the very near future, in place of these boring stolen stock pics.

INITIAL

I'm still configuring the setup of this new blog and my scanner for personal photos, so I leave you with the following:




My new Acne "Atacoma" wedges in gunmetal. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of these long-coveted babies.



My new Rick Owens "fin" wedges, another addition to my wedge collection obsession.



newly-acquired Comme Des Garcons brogues, rescued from yoox.com. Sadly, these are too big for me so I've listed them on ebay for another lucky owner.



A photo taken by dear friend Jeffrey Lee circa 1982(?) of my husband applying makeup at a gig, donning some homemade studded bracelets which, ironically, are still very much relevant these days (see: Givenchy f/w 2009). Visit Jeff's archive sites in the "affiliates" section to view other incredible photos of this nature.

Please excuse the stock photos of the shoes; this won't be the case in the future, once my scanner is configured.

Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season with not too much stress; I got a lot of my shopping done early (most of the men and women are getting fragrance sets, which are easy to wrap for my clumsy ass).
