harder, faster; forties and chill.

scored another interview at patricia field, this time in the corporate offices—apparently the last girl i talked to, rachel, forwarded my resume. cha-ching. 

between working shifts at allsaints all memorial weekend, camilla's roof party in alphabet city (where i got so crossfaded, i walked all the way to union square on a slant), and marisa's birthday in williamsburg (where the landlord got drunk, flipped shit, called the cops and got himself hauled out in handcuffs)...

...i made myself a necklace.

summer! finally here! (sorta)

for some odd reason, friendly fire's "paris" has become a perennial summer staple for me. 

from chris the rapper's mixtape, value pack 2: cream & sugar.

so this is saturday.

after working a full shift at allsaints, went home, ordered latkes and matzoh ball soup from local diner, and watched the mummy returns alone and sober. so lame, so semi-refreshing.


  Foster The People - Houdini (RAC Mix) by RAC

sidenote: can't stop listening to 'houdini' by foster the people, remixed by RAC.

rain, rain, go fuck yourself.

it's been pretty gross in new york for the last week, tons of rain and thunderstorms and things of that nature. today, the sun finally decided to peek out, at least for a little while, enabling some good ole gallery hopping in chelsea. split a falafel wrap at chelsea piers waterfront with alexin, stumbled upon an exhibit of kate moss photographs (!), got drunk on gallery wine and free vodka cranberries, snagged rahel, coca-cola disguised as tecate, pretentious abstract opening, quest for public restrooms.

met up with moses, rahel and alexin arrive with beers, red wine, getting crunk to south park, america's next top model, and a whole slew of oxygen's snapped: cheating hearts. quality programming at its best.

sidenote: i finished those python shorts.

spin machine.

as much as i bitch about working retail at allsaints, i'll concede...they spin some killer tunes. 

can't get this off repeat: 'crayon box' by virgo four.

from allsaints' latest basement session.

serendipitous encounters in the garment district

spent yesterday morning rendering platform shoes for peter som spring 2012 charlotte olympia collab. met up with loren in the afternoon while running errands: dropped off a guipure skirt (for ms. obama) at factory for hemming, quality control on marbled silk tank top, indiscriminate linen swatches at mood. followed by allsaints shift.

a week, in retrospect.

considering adding 'able to size and arrange hangers artistically while blindfolded' to my resume after working four days of close. impromptu rooftop party at nadja's on tuesday, beers, wine, and cigarettes interspersed with improv games involving midgets and the dentist office. spent the weekend in south carolina watching my little brother graduate from college, getting drunk with my family, and pretending that i wasn't being blinded by the country-club whiteness of furman university.

the revival of midnight strolls and afternoon rooftops.

working close stands no hindrance to three-day disaster-chillin' marathon. halves cause trouble, 3am arrival at jonno and jordan's party on friday night, investments for the week, too much whiskey, stumbling departure, front car of the J train at 5am with moses. 

on saturday, got out too late for the recession art show, regrouped at boat. forties in the living room, black cab catastrophe, impulsive 3am stroll to the promenade, forties on the promenade. denied at 24-hour mcdonalds, meatloaf, mashed potatoes and hijacked cranberry muffins.

today: sewing, project runway marathon, hanging out on the rooftop; boontown, waste of space.
