New Year's Eve

Goodbye, 2012, you've been good to me. I went to Las Vegas for the first time, and Chicago for the first time, and Nino got healthy and I met Ken and I am still illustrating. I am looking forward to 2013 and more good things and wonderful firsts! Happy New Year to you!

Thankful.

I am most thankful this year, more than ever. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Fashion + Coffee

I saw this cool cup designed by Rodarte at Starbucks and I bought it because I am only allowed to use cups with lids in the vicinity of my laptop.

Be my president, Obama, for four more years.

This helps.

Scary

Poor NYC. I don't know how to feel. I would be so scared if I was there.

"Ghoul, you'll be a zombie...soon."

Happy Halloween, y'all! I'm going to scare the crap out of Trick or Treaters this year!

Vote for me!

I have binders full of bears, and I have employed them all.

I know who both of them are.

I'm not proud of this.

"She's a promise in the year of election."

Chicago!

I have finally been to Chicago! I always wanted to go there.

I'm a virtual shopper.

And I just totally virtually bought this kate spade giraffe scarf.

Late summer light.

Late summer light sometimes looks like a Maxfield Parrish painting. I dig. I am going to sit myself under the Maxfield Parrish mural in the King Cole Bar of the St. Regis hotel sometime next week. Now that my friend Tommy retired from Bemelman's, there's less of a pull that far Uptown.

An Apple a day.

That's about the rate at which I was ruining my Apple products this weekend. I now have a new laptop and a new iPhone and I will be much more careful with both of them.

Week #6

Going to swim in the Gulf tonight (for the sixth week in a row) with Ken. When we started going the sun set at 8:19pm, now it sets at 7:45pm. Soon we won't be able to go anymore because it will be too dark and fall-like. So Ima enjoy it now.

Dang, Gurl.

And that is how you wear the hell out of a dress.

Back to School.

Milton Glaser

I would like to own this Milton Glaser poster.

How it feels.

This will be week #4 that Ken and I go swimming in the Gulf at sunset. It's perfect.

Schiaparelli Gloves, 1936

I know of one pop star who would go Gaga for these.

Dig.

This style has been influencing my drawings for about a year now. And I ain't done yet.

Meow.

What a great picture.

You can't always get what you want.

Even Andy Warhol. But he showed them, didn't he. I didn't get two gigs that I wanted this week, but I'm still hanging on. You can't always get what you want, but I definitely have what I need, and for that I am grateful.

Feesha the Beautiful

On Monday my first and favorite cat, Sophia, left this world. I will miss her so much, she was a true beauty.

Moonrise Kingdom

Watch this movie while holding hands with a cute boy. I did.

13.2 lbs > A GORILLA

Be nice to someone today.

Summer solution.

Battle of the Cute Purses.

Who's the winner here?

Oops, I did it again.

Here is a map of all the places I forgot to put sunscreen this Saturday.

Representin' in Luxembourg, y'all.

I am missing New York City today.

Latte Love

My girl is still hanging out in the window of Oui Presse in Portland, OR.

Handbag Kryptonite

Summer Clothes

Boobs!

Genius Russ Meyer movie posters.

The kind of girl that I am.

I'm not the kind of girl that needs to own a Birkin bag, but I am the kind of girl who would like to have an Hermés scarf (sooner than later). In addition, I am most definitely the kind of girl who would like to design an Hermés scarf. How do I make that happen?

Things I like:

1. Nikki Sixx 2. Smiling 3. The beach 4. Beach towels 5. Motley Crüe

Thirsty for Glamour

Meow

Cool stuff.

Gosh Darn It.

Gosh darn it, that's a cute shirt. It's for little girls from J.Crew's crewcuts. Darn it. I could make that, though.
