Iconoclasts

with certain ladies from the past who seem to have some kind of unrivaled impeccable style. I can’t put my finger on it, but they wear clothes somehow more timelessly than any modern-day fashionista I can think of. Some examples: Carson McCullers is my favorite alcoholic female writer from before 1950 (I like her even [ READ MORE ]

The Seaweed is always Fashionabl…er

Jules Verne and H.P. Lovecraft would feel all arm and fuzzy inside, if they weren’t both long dead. It seems that this season, the craft-market-etsy-set (yes, that’s a set) has decided to look to the coral reef for inspiration. It’s an odd phenomenon. Every year one theme seems to penetrate the collective consciousness of crafters [ READ MORE ]

Boston–slightly less frozen fashion

I wasn’t entirely successful at my street fashion photography attempts this weekend. (Meaning I got turned down a lot by people who a) didn’t speak enough english to understand that I wasn’t a creep or b) spoke english perfectly and STILL thought I was a creep.)

Here’s a sampling: ClosetGothic by foxotherun featuring Sanctuary pants Items in this [ READ MORE ]

Good Eats, fewer double chins

So Alton Brown did an episode a few weeks ago on his epic weight-loss (a little too much, in my opinion, every time I see him he looks more and more like the crypt-keeper.) He lost 50 pounds in 9 months (40 would have been enough to avoid the terminal AIDS look). I, however, could [ READ MORE ]

Boston’s Independent Movie Theaters

When I was in my sophomore/junior year of high school, I wasn’t exactly partying it up. No Texts From Last Night hijinks for me. Not even on par with those wacky Degrassi canadians with their teen pregnancies and their 100% intense drama. I wasn’t part of the group of kids from my all-girls prep school [ READ MORE ]
