Collecting my un-aged brothers Toy Story army figurines. They are currently soft as candle wax due to me hovering them over the fire pit. You want it, you got it, dripping like water. I'm pretty excited to work with them. Roses for the dead, red wine for the live, and armed weapons for the cowards. New Year, motherfuckers!
(self-made transparent rain-cape) These are pretty shitty photos of this creation. You aren't really able to see the volume and shapes that's formed. I'll be sure to take photos when I get a chance. A night in Hollywood in the pouring rain. I don't think I've ever been more excited to put on a cape and walk around in the drought. I absolutely love the uncomfortably of this....
(Michael Kors rainjack, vintage top, black skins) Not usually dressed in all black simply because it bores me, but in this case it works. Walking into the cathedral we get the most lousy stares. It was so ironic that I chose to wear all black this day. Forgiveness was asked for which I'd rather not get into. Overall 2010 was a year of growth realizations and benefits. 2011 shall be our year, Dev! We'll be graduating high school this June and I'll be 18 on the 18th of that month. Now life seems to be moving with a swarm from hanging out to school. Finding a job will be one of my New Years resolutions. Also changing my room around again. I get over things way too fast. My room is pretty small so I need more space to stash fabric in an orderly manner. I have projects in store for you so stay updated and follow through with this adventure I'll be taking you on.
Also paid Vennie's father, PlannedParentHood, and Chinese take-out a visit.
To invite me to dinner might come off a bit brutal.
(Everything is self-made) My anti Palaeos Mesozoic militant look. Inspired by dinosaurs and the military with my clothespin bullet belt over the chest. Splash of color with a red ribbon. Roses for my princess with silver thorns that you can hardly see. The flower to the sun thanks to photosynthesis. Light is essential to all life. Color and print combinations are essential to my wardrobe. Without it's dead. In white, blow me a kiss. Cold in the nose. Damp red in the wine.
I don't really need much for Christmas but a gift from me to you would be to adopt an animal for a family in a developing country and put it in your name. All I'm giving would be for the ones in actual need, not for the ones that want. This is going to be a different Christmas come around. Anything counts for Heifer International. You can never go wrong.
All I know is that I have too many huge tassels hanging all over the place. All I know is that their perfect for the holidays. On that given note there's only time left to create. Happy Holidays!
(Dino cotton pants, transparent tank (hardly visible in photos)) Honestly I've been living in this sweater for God knows how long. Chapped lips - it's cold. Night out at the Echoplex for Midnight Juggernauts, The Naked & Famous, and Diamond Rings. Kind of disappointed with Midnight, not being at it's best live. Naked & Famous truly blew me away. These fucking cotton pants will do nothing to save my life in a blizzard. Their not leggings to me, so I refrain from calling them that. They're way too thick. Always the one in the group thats cold so I choose to wear more. More is good. Dinosaurs are still one of the coolest thing ever. I went through a phase where I actually thought I was one. The whole idea of knowing that once upon a time these creatures were once on Earth and how reptiles evolved over time. Instead of the creatures getting even bigger, the reptiles got smaller hence turtles. I once bought this silver turtle bracelet from the flea market for my sister. The vendor was this asian lady that collected animal trinkets, jade and copper jewelry from Nepal, and incense. She told me that it signified strength (due to it's hard shell) and long life. She wished me good luck on my journey and I took off..
I remember collecting all these plastic reptile figures and Jurassic Park cassettes as a child. As if 'Dinosaurs' was one of my favorite shows in the 90's. I had these VCR cassettes on replay day after day. "Who's the Mama!?" Now being that Family Guy is the evolved version of this show.
Cassette tape overload & Triceratop fossil horns.
Too bad I didn't evolve as a dinosaur but luckily to a abnormal fossil figure.
For a decent outcome in life, take your time. Nothing shall be rushed. No ones perfect but to be so damn close takes time. Sleepy and rushing out the house, you throw on a outfit that isn't overlooked and when you snap out of the daze you wonder why'd you put that together cause quite frankly you look tacky and tasteless. The unintentional is what's quite obvious.
This, I respect. L. Gaga and K. West's creative aspect of it all? Not so much.. The turtle always wins the race. Keep the mind free, proceed, and breath.
(Everything self-made & fur tongue boots) Nothing more, nothing less. I felt as if I'm not a loyal blogger, so this here, is for you. Wrapped up, in this chilly climate in LA we consider fall. Enjoying the winds.. I tend to wear slouchy clothes, as when I walk it moves along with me and makes delicate shapes. This clear tube on the other hands makes beautiful circles but has no movement at all. It's great for sculpturing around your neck or body. Home Depot is now one my favorite department stores. No meat on my bones, meet the moose. EAT HEALTHY AND STAY WARM.
People have the tendency to state how they feel about my personal style being negative or positive. Quite frankly I'm not bothered by it and i'd rather be approached then have your gaze controlled. Walking home from school today some norm yelled out if I was lost and if I was some Wizard of Oz character. His intention was to offend me but I felt as if the statement was pretty clever and kept going along with my day. Inspired me so much that I chose to take a picture of my outfit and blog about it. Thanks for the acknowledgment nevertheless.
It may be Fall, Winter, or Summer but these shall remain in my closet. They're currently being shipped my way and possibly sometime soon I'll share what I have in store for them. Totally in need of some funky deep knitted socks.
I was aiming for these Surge Five Finger shoes since they literally make you feel as if you're barefoot and completely over protects the bottom of your foot. Absolutely waterproof so need to worry about the drought. Perfect for running and hiking, splinters, broken glass, and rocks would do no harm. These high tops are in the perfect color but are sadly discontinued. They also sell the Vibram anklet souls but they aren't that appetizing for me.
'ZZZzzzZZzzzZzzz
My mother was named after the Virgin Mary. Walk in my house and this is all you'll see. My ancient mother, my love, my mum. Totally into the whole romantic cathedral feeling. Bronze, high walls, churches, candles, chandeliers, and roses to state the least. Born and raised as a Catholic but found my higher being on a more spiritual level, but can never abandon this woman. She's my mother, Maria.
Devendra is what I'll most likely name my sun child. One of my favorite psychedelic folk musicians that literally saved my life along the lines with Phoenix. Sex to my ears hitting every note that brings tingly vibrations to my finger tips. My body and soul relaxes which brings me back to a whole making me feel at one with a great release of tension. Making me feel passionate and confident for what I do, truly inspiring knowing that every little thing is going to be alright. God, too good. Totally devastating that he's retiring from the whole music aspect of it all and is focusing on visual arts as a drawer being his second job.
On that note, what soothes your soul?
Pheww. . .This week's show was AMZNG. It's funny because this whole job originally consisted of one look, yet 2 other main designers(Jerrel Scott & Mila Hermanovski) couldn't imagine why I wasn't walking or wearing their pieces. So needless to say they quickly put me in. Going from big hair to a simpler look was almost a disaster backstage. >_< But, all was forgiven when I found out I would be escorted in the finale by a HOTHOTHOTTIE!! Only things missing were my my other halfs , jay and ven . :(
(vintage fantasy coat, along with everything else.) Vintage this, vintage that. I think we've all had enough. Who cares....
Designing has become a night time hobby for me other than watching foreign porn. It really balances my insomnia out. Being tired and designing brings you all these spectacular ideas (in my eyes atleast). The art of making something out of nothing. A lot of transparent is getting a hold of me. Just wait and you shall see.
(I'm wearing: All thrift but too many layers to point everything out. Devanies wearing: Velvet dress made by local designer, Jaime.)
Happy 17th to Devanie on the 5th of September.
It was the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Its Dev's birthday tradition to have a friend design her birthday outfit every year. Last year I designed this shredded tee for this festivity. Photo below
(American Apparel white button up, yellow vintage undershirt, mesh button up, white skins, Jordan Spi'zikes, self-made connected arm and finger safety pins)
A shoot that I've done with talented photographer, Marcus Dumouchel, mid June. These are pretty much proofs. He hasn't sent me photos of the other looks just yet due to personal issues.
I worked the shoes around this outfit but too bad the photos are in black & white. The look is very Summer-esque, a splash of color but mostly all in white.
Nothing better than running around town looking like a baller.
I'm tired, delusional and I feel like I'm rambling on and on. Yoga then bed.
Until then
