Viktor & Rolf shut the eff up.

The fall/winter collection from the powerhouse duo of Viktor & Rolf has once again dazzled me. Such strong silhouettes and sculptural shapes. LOVE. Now to get working on my own collection.

Here's a photo from Fall/Winter 2010. The incomparable Matt, aka Gaudy God, wears everything well.

this is fun

Doctor, doctor, tell the news...

I'm not saying that the minute clinic isn't a great convenience for people, but I am going to say that they shouldn't diagnose things like hyper-tension blood pressure levels and things such as lazy eyes. Neither of which I have. Of course I made an appointment to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead of a heart attack, and not only was my blood pressure amazing, my "lazy eye" was also proven to be a misdiagnosis. The pink eye may have been real, I'm not sure. But after a week of wearing my glasses instead of my contacts I think I've suffered enough. Winter is no time to be bespectacled. They fog up every time you come in from the cold, and Chicago is COLD. So anyway, to my legions of fans, rest assured; I have been given a clean bill of health.

Halston Heritage has a lot to be excited about with SJP at the helm. I'm so excited about this latest venture into the world of fashion design. I still wear my Bitten "Fashion is Not a Luxury" T-shirt from Steve&Barry. I think she's amazing, and I think she'll have a distinct voice in the brand that will rejuvenate it. And it doesn't hurt that she looks A-MAZ-ING in all the clothes.

2011, are you for real?!

So I noticed my right eye was a little red on Friday, and I thought it might be an allergic reaction to something, so I canceled my NYE plans that I had been looking forward to for weeks, and stayed in. Yesterday the redness was still there after a good dose of Claritin, so I went to the "Minute Clinic" at CVS today. I spent 4 hours at the "minute clinic" and found out that not only do I have PINK EYE (thanks kids at work), but I also have the blood pressure of a fifty year old! THEN to add insult to my already leper-ridden injury, the nurse practitioner tells me that I have...wait for it...a LAZY EYE!!!! A lazy eye! I'm pretty sure I've been going to see the eye doctor since birth and never, NEVER has an actual EYE DOCTOR told me about this lazy eye! Maybe it was just tired from waiting 3 1/2 hours to see you, nurse practitioner, perhaps that's the reason you think my eye is acting a little lazy. I'm going to have to seek a second opinion.
So moral of the story I guess is find yourself a good doctor, and don't go to the "Minute Clinic" unless you have HOURS to spare.

Happy New Year. I was just looking back on 2010 and I realized how many amazing things happened. It was a good year. Mood Fabrics, Paul and Ringo, Whiteout in Green Bay, Design for a Cure in Chicago, RedEye article, relationships were built, relationships survived; lots to be thankful for. Thanks 2010, now let's keep the ball rolling. And let's make some money...please.
