So my friend Don Stahl posted something about pudding on Twitter. It made me think of Barry and Levon on the state and them having a bunch of pudding in the trunk of their car. Alas, all I could find was the $240 worth of pudding sketch when I looked up "Barry and Levon state pudding" on Youtube. So I expanded my search to just "Barry and Levon" and...fuck...the greatest thing ever happened:I

Sean and I share a theory that lost in translation menus tend to have better and more authentic ethnic foods.

I learned something during the two and a half years I worked as a shop girl at Barneys New York, fashion trends are dictated by the bodies and neurosises of middle-aged white woman. Everything on the sales floor was designed to hide a bulging belly and a flat ass and compliment the legs and occasionally the bust. There are two body types that seem to pervail among that consumer set, one is that

So I told the Vice readership all about the fun and crazy performance I was in last weekend at the St. Cecilia convent in Greenpoint. The performance at the convent was a great success and a total blast. Things got a little sloppy at the second performance at the Legion but everyone had a blast and if nothing else we confused the hell out of a lot of people.I didn't get any pics of the actual

Who advertises their nanny services atop a gravestone?Well apparently someone on Graham Avenue does because this sign in the the window of the monument shop near Metropolitain. The grave makers also sell fresh bakery goods. For some reason buying bread from a gravestone purveyor seems unseemly, but maybe that's just me.

Ouch, I know. I am the anti-poacher too. Maybe it's a sensitivity to fashion blogs that are merely repostings of other fashion blogs or just image selections. I'm a grump, a writer. Not that my posts on here seem to consist of anything aside from links to my Vice posts. What can I say? Now that I'm quasi-professional I give them a lot of the goods.

I wrote a fairly detailed behind-the-scenes post about the Samantha Pleet presentation over on the Vice Blog but I took too many pictures for just one post. I avoided including too many photos of the lovely Louise and Angela because of another behind-the-scenes that will be posted as soon as Angela finishes the Cheek-ie lookbook.

Ahh, black metal and fashion, the two have flirted, well maybe the flirtation is a little one-sided. For every designer or stylist who has done a black metal inspired line/shoot/runway show I don't think there has been any album dedications in return. But the grim gotta wear something and occasionally the grim just happened to be inspired menswear designers like Austin Sherbanenko.This season's

I started a blog for Fox and Fawn. It's good great fun. I just yammer away about all the amazing things we have in the store that I think you should buy.

Welcome to my first foray into Ebay. I have a feeling I migth be kind of bad at this. We need a model who can come in guaranteed twice a month and will let us use her face who is around 5'6" and a size small (not too scrawny, I hate emaciated Ebay models.) Even though we have no shortage of beautiful friends it's a hard thing to figure. Marissa and I are way too awkward in front of the camera
