Twisting the Dress Fantastic 2008-06-12 02:29:20 Photo: balloonsit.comFor the majority of us, the words "balloon twisting" conjure up visions of creepy clowns and balloon dogs. But, as demonstrated earlier this year in Shanghai, balloon couture is alive and well. (There is also an annual balloon fashion show in Europe hosted by Millennium Jam with 'creepy couture' as this year's theme.) And while I would agree that balloon couture isn't practica Read more:Fantastic
I Feel Like Lashing Out Today 2008-06-13 19:38:23 I started my beauty career 8 years ago working for a company that made, among other things, false eyelashes. And one thing I learned while I was there was this: Almost all eyelashes are made by the same company -- Royal Korindah -- then purchased by beauty companies that stamp their name on them. So don't feel like you have to spend $100 on a good pair of fantasy lashes (unless, of course, you rea Read more:Today
Slice of Life: The Fashionable Razor Blade 2008-06-13 17:27:19 In the early 70's [at the height of cocaine's popularity] it became fashionable to wear a razor blade around one's neck because it identified the wearer, by association, with the exclusive 'cocaine elite' that ran in certain pop, fashion, and art circles. Gradually, this trend spread into the general population, having completely lost its association with cocaine.The trend resurfaced among gothic/ Read more:Blade

Tsumori Chisato's New Mexico Dreams 2008-06-16 16:14:14 "Living Water" by Katy WidgerI have always been a big fan of fiber art (a style of fine art which uses textiles such as fabric, yarn, and natural and synthetic fibers). Not only does the artist focus on the materials used, but on the manual labor involved as part of its significance. (There is even a magazine dedicated to the craft.)One of my favorite fiber artists is Katy Widger, a mixed-media t Read more:Tsumori

Melk Zda's True Romance 2008-06-18 11:24:38 Taking inspiration from sculptor Camille Claudel's work, Brazilian designer Melk Zda's Spring 2009 collection felt both haunting and romantic. Camille's passion for her art -- as well as her lover Rodin -- drove her to the brink of insanity. So it's fitting that each piece translates, if only metaphorically, as a tribute to tortured love, with the weightlessness of an angel juxtaposed with the hea Read more:Romance
Currently Obsessed With: Eninaj Jewelry 2008-06-18 02:29:46 After years of working as both a graphic and interior designer, Janine Golbert (an Uruguay native now residing in Israel) is trying her hand at jewelry design -- and in a big way. Her designs, each inspired by the sensuality of color, form, material and texture, could easily put a seasoned jewelry artist to shame (not to mention break my bank account!

, a Puerto Rican paper artist living in New York City, has a uniquely creative knack for turning pulp into works of art. Particularly fascinating are his paper shoes, (which beg the question, "Why isn't he designing the real thing?!") You can check out more of Molina's paper sculptures at carlosnmolina.com.

Peek a Boo, I See You[r Crack] 2008-06-26 05:13:16 The nape of a Geisha's neck was once an object of desire among Japanese men. Bound feet were fetishized in China well into the 20th century. And "neathage" (slang for the part of the boob that peeks out from the bottom of a shirt) has kept 13 year old boys preoccupied since the crop top was introduced into mainstream fashion sometime during the 80's. So it's no surprise that butt cleavage is final

That Baby Is a Tramp 2008-06-25 19:17:17 Can somebody PLEASE explain the allure of sexy baby stuff? I just don't get it. (Maybe a toddler could help me out with the issue?) Let's ask one year old Hailey, a tramp-in-the-making and huge fan of The House of Dereon.
As a 12 month old girl in a very adult world, I've got more on my plate than just mashed peas and animal crackers. Anybody born before 2006 has no idea what kind of pressure a t
André Lima's Origami Style 2008-06-25 13:28:33 Having spent several of my formative years in the company of Japanese exchange students, I am no stranger to origami. So, when I read that the inspiration behind his André Lima's Spring 2009 collection was 'geometric effect' I had to do a double take. Yes, hard edges are certainly present in both geometry and origami, but how does one explain why each dress bears a striking resemblance to some of Read more:Style

Fit To Be Tied 2008-06-24 11:27:02 The modern fashion establishment can thank Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren (formerly Malcolm Edwards) for bringing fetish fashion (like latex and bondage trousers) into the mainstream. In the 1970's, Westwood and McLaren opened their first clothing store "Sex" on the Kings Road in London, which was later renamed "Seditionaries" (and renamed once again as "World's End.") In the late 70's, Za

Necklace by Couture Saboteur
The collar necklace [no, not blue collar] is one of the oldest forms of jeweled decor worn specifically for the purposes of vanity. The Egyptians were the original purveyors of the collar necklace, with my girl Nefertiti flaunting hers some 50 centuries ago. But, even with vanity as the focal point of this classic look, it's easy to appreciate the modern

I shudder to the core at the mere mention of 'big brother' watching me. (The book Nineteen Eighty-Four, in which the government watches us, listens in on our conversations, dictates our every move, etc. gave me nightmares as a teenager. Sounds a little bit like the Patriot Act, doesn't it?) But I'm less put off by accessories tha
