For me, fashion shows are not for the public, they are trade shows for the press. There should be privacy and mystery. There is no excitement about anything anymore as everything is available immediately and all the time — you don’t have to wait for anything. I don’t belong to the generation of spending time on the Internet. I think it’s too fast and too fake. It’s sad because everyone is running after everything, but after what? Everything is too quick. There is no room in your heads for all this information. No one retains anything.
I have a plan for next season. Since they are all about my height, I am going to impersonate one of them. I am going to wear a doily on my head and tell everyone I am a teen blogger. If they ask why I am so wrinkled, I will tell them that I have progeria.

Song of the day: “I Need A Dollar” by Aloe Blacc

If my life had more use for sweats in it, this would totally be mine.
“Well, fashion isn’t an obviously brainy thing to write about—it is a fairly hermetic world that exists in its own froofy bubble. I think homophobia and sexism may play a role in the trivializing of fashion; I think it is regarded as being something of a feminine ghetto, to the extent that it is tethered to the beauty industrial complex and women’s magazines (the stock in trade of which tends to be largely inane articles about How Getting My Teeth Veneered Helped Me Have Better Orgasms, etc.) But I think it’s a mistake to write off fashion as being devoid of intellectual content.”

Best song I have heard in a long time.
This is my everyday project for 2010. Taking one lyric from a song every day and creating art or taking a photo inspired from that lyric.

Best blog discovery of the week. What a great idea.
