1. Blowing Kisses from an Underwater Piece of Cloth

    If the flesh is wholesome 
like a fresh coconut slice
    then they are the flesh holes of some
 malnourished art deco bag of bones
    that won’t stop at stop signs or a limelight
 or quit the gamble
    when they are obviously ahead.

    When the oreganos of a Summer morning

    shift their aromas into my drugstore sleep, I declare
    all my bad behaviors to be an act 
the way a kleptomaniac really wants
    the attention of her ex-lover who is out snorkeling
    
with his latest girlfriend amongst those Miami starfish.

    The tropical boys may swish their asses but they
    
batter the bloated hands that feed them
    with their rainbow lips submerged and retarded.

    Damir Doma Store, Paris

    Damir Doma‘s Parisian store hidden away in the Marais will close on Wednesday, to make way for a pop-up space within a famous but secret (as-of-yet) retail location, before they open a flagship store on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré…

    Anyone is invited to 70% off all mens and women’s SS11 ranges until this Wednesday (be quick!)
    More details here.


  4. Vermin in Ermine

    In Paris photographing couture collections. I love photographing couture. Apart from the fact that sometimes you have 10 minutes with one look or you sit and wait 2 hours for another, it’s my favourite job of the season. One dress was seriously delayed because a princess was in the room it was hanging and she didn’t want to be disturbed. This time at Studio Rouchon with super talented Elise Ducrot & Pierre Francois Carrasco at Ann Ramirez & Michelle Westgeest at Viva and of course Charlie Harrington but she doesn’t need promoting. But best of all is my hotel lobby. How they can afford all this decor when the rooms are only 60€ a night. Mattresses fit for royalty.

  7. Zana Bayne

    Taking advantage of our presence in New York City, we attended to our friend Zana’s presentation at the Standard’s Le Bain. It was the perfect time of the day to overlook Manhattan in the dimming late afternoon light. Zana delighted us with her harnesses, from thinner woven textures to bolder armor-like structures.
