a dog's life..or mouth.

2012-01-12T09:05:00.000-08:00

this is my friend missy's tat. it is of her dog peg's mouth! she said some people thought it was a monster and that she had to pry peg's mouth open to get the right photo. it is totally her mouth- i totally recognize it;)

when you bartender pours you fire.

2012-01-03T14:47:00.000-08:00

and if this weather keeps up i might need a lot more of these.

also cool-it's a bitters bar.

queens and butterflies.

2011-11-21T08:41:00.000-08:00

these are butterflies, butterflies in waiting, and they look like little jewels with gold rims. so cool. also cool, their name is kind of like mine.

this dude..

2011-11-08T12:53:00.000-08:00

...is and older guy who lives in the hood and dons big silver native american rings true to half his roots. and he has a big fuzzy dog. that kinda looks like his wolf one.

northern lights.

2011-10-29T10:29:00.000-07:00

And I wait praying to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it wont lead you anywhere
He's so cold, raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the northern lights

2011-09-01T08:54:00.000-07:00

2011-08-02T21:04:00.001-07:00

Today is my birthday. And I wish I had this cake with the Hole cover of Live Through This on it (one of my fav's). It is freaking cool.

2011-07-13T09:03:00.000-07:00

Delfina Delletrez's creepy crystallized critters are cool. So is this ad for her grabbed off Nylon.

shredding.

2011-07-07T07:58:00.000-07:00

if i was a kid or could go back i would totally be a skater. i love this pic - besides the cool shredding it looks cali.

mermaids..

2011-07-02T10:09:00.000-07:00

cool cosmic nails.

2011-06-29T10:13:00.000-07:00

anything that looks like starry sky is cool in my book.

2011-06-24T07:15:00.000-07:00

more bags by me...but not really.

2011-06-15T09:26:00.000-07:00

found another vintage Varon bag...nice...this is going to start becoming a cool collection. maybe I will make some at some point-you never know ;)

dream on.

2011-06-08T08:47:00.000-07:00

given that it's hot as hell in nyc i've been very drawn to these serene cool watered pics- here's another...dreaming I was there today.

*pic via another mag

cool water.

2011-06-04T08:34:00.000-07:00

wish i was right here right now where ever this is.

man is now able to fly through the air like a bird.

2011-05-25T11:50:00.000-07:00

maybe Melissa Auf Der Maur was singing these lyrics to her song This Would Be Paradise while she was wearing her super cool arm cuffs with fringes and is that feathers on the end? i want these cuffs and I wanna wear them on stage. that would be paradise.

i wanna surf with the seals.

2011-05-14T08:50:00.000-07:00

this looks unreal.

2011-04-24T08:45:00.000-07:00

My London imported Steven Barrett Marianne Faithfull glitter art picks up light from my TV and sparkles in the dark.

crystal's coolshit.

2011-04-22T08:43:00.000-07:00

From my friend Crystal's new New York apt. Lighting is everything. And so are candles..This thing is way cool.

be a simple kind of man.

2011-04-09T10:26:00.000-07:00

and if you somehow don't know this song from Lynyrd you have to go listen to it now.

gold dolphins with diamonds and green eyes and tails.

2011-04-05T11:44:00.000-07:00

Had to repost this from my Living Doll blog because it is one of the coolest pieces of jewels I've ever seen. Now how do I get it.

orange blossom beer.

2011-04-05T11:41:00.001-07:00

I had it in S. Florida recently- so fitting. My perfume oil Doll in Suntanned has lots of orange blossom....and it kinda tasted like it.

i don't know what's cooler...

2011-03-25T13:31:00.000-07:00

...that I used to live here or this picture.

*cool pic from talesofendearment.

my computer makes me feel like i could jump right in.

2011-03-22T08:40:00.000-07:00

cool moon. cool hood.

2011-03-20T09:09:00.000-07:00

If you've gone back with me a bit you know I have a little obsession with Little Red Riding Hood- it was my first costume for my first Halloween as a kid where my former garmento dad's dressmaker made me the sickest cloak and it was my last costume this past Halloween where I wore this cool vintage red velv dress with silver mesh netting around the neck with a red knit hood. Last night I went to check out Red Riding Hood & I loved. Then I walked outside and saw the huge full moon after seeing one in the film and that was just cool. It was as big as the lamp post. cool night.

*photo from rrh from london sun

reallly cool concert.

2011-03-08T08:51:00.000-08:00

I've been to loads. If I saw this, I'd prob thing it was, um, maybe a figment of my imagination or something;). and really cool.

* pic from hardtoexplain in which every single thing on there is cool in my opinion

sit and drink pennyroyal tea.

2011-03-04T16:11:00.001-08:00

I saw this when looking for teas and oils and things. Never actually saw real pennyroyal. It's a pretty purple flower which is pretty ironic and it reminded me of the 90's and music I still listen too.

coolest cut out baby doll dress.

2011-02-27T09:51:00.000-08:00

from my fashion week snapshots- at Odilon by Stacey Clark- one of my fav new designers. they also made a cool film to go with their presentation. And they're based in LA.

dusk

2011-02-23T14:15:00.000-08:00

I love twilight so much. Not only the cool blue cast during the "magic hour" but the energy. No, really. This is late dusk from the bathroom window at Milk Studios pre Billy Reid show during fashion week. And the view....

Rad Love.

2011-02-21T08:44:00.000-08:00

Rad Hourani's show for fashion week Fall/Winter 2011 was RAD and so is the fact that he took these pictures ( and also video) at last year's of Courtney Love who was wearing a flowing white lacey sheer outfit as she serenaded the crowd. He is a multi dimensional artist who goes beyond limits and is obvi super talented at it. That's just cool. Here's my snap of the designer backstage - more pics from his show and my full recap of it will be here.

cool coat.

2011-02-14T10:02:00.001-08:00

While standing next to Elana, who works for Four Season's mag, during the Billy Reid show I noticed her cool coat, a slightly fuzzy colorfully striped oversized vintage one, and it stood out amongst all of the furs, capes and winter coats donned. She also had a cute but dark flower accessory in her hair and I wanted to share. Here she is with Matt of Style.com who wore a cool patterned vest of his own-I think it was part of his jacket.

incense at 10am on a Saturday=cool

2011-02-13T15:08:00.001-08:00

Yummy smelling incense at the Logan Neitzel Fall Presentation for FW 2011 - so made me feel good at 10 am down on Wall St. after very little sleep - so did the cool fringey cuffs & leather patched leggings, check my livingdolldv blog to see more on that...I still had incense in my hair when I went home after and wrote his article for while listening to Lynyrd.

you know, mags & shoes..

2011-02-13T15:02:00.000-08:00

These are Andrew Mukamal's shoes. He had them made and might make them for the masses. I snapped 'em while backstage for a show during fashion week that I'm covering for modacycle mag this year. They are both cool. Check 'em out.

cool scene

2011-01-30T12:31:00.001-08:00

Amazing shot of Mick J backstage in 1969 and Miss Pamela Des Barres sitting right there behind. What cool days, wish I was around then. I'd either be onstage or back ...or both.

courtney sharing pints with cute oxford boys?

2011-01-27T10:04:00.001-08:00

i'm sorry, that is cool shit. and shit i wish i was there for too....

and wait, are they drinking them in the library?! Bloody cool and so are their floppy hairdo's.

cool but sad.

2011-01-26T09:28:00.001-08:00

Sadly sometimes something cool comes out of a tragic experience- cool art, cool intentions, cool organizations to help someone or many someone's.This is a result - watch it and then read about it but also what a cool colorful experience my night turned out to be with makeup artist Alex Box HERE

Leather leg coverlets and a leather tinkerbell skirt <3

cool app...

2011-01-21T17:54:00.000-08:00

..on my sister's phone aka iphone (aka i need one and am going to get one, come on verizon- hurry up). She winged me. Light angel rock angel dark angel. So fitting for each pic, gigging my songs that talk about butterflies, wide eyed fairies, moths to flames, feeling black and blue, etc.. My purple wings as I'm wearing my vintage Lynyrd Skynyrd Fly on Freebird shirt and Happy Birthday white wings. Dog wings coming soon. Good job shishta. Now if I could just get up and fly away..that'd be really cool.

These move...

2011-01-20T19:56:00.001-08:00

...but if they don't move when I cut and paste them, they are still cool.

*found on a blog I dig-fashionlikeheroin.blogspot.com via Reed and Rader who do all sorts of crazy cool shit like this on their site..and it moves on both so check them out until I fig it out.

This is where I'm going this lovely eve.

2011-01-18T10:24:00.000-08:00

This will make this gloomy rainy night into a great gloomy rainy night. Master class with make up ARTIST Alex Box - learning & writing about it for Dossier Journal. I'm already obsessed with the black wingy eye - go figure= my new songs are dripping with that stuff, listen to one here...oh yeah, and check out her cool glasses too.

It takes balls.

2011-01-13T08:32:00.000-08:00

Half shaved head half blond bombshell. It's only hair but a lot of people wouldn't even risk it. I like risks. And also the unexpected.

Alice and a magic carpet.

2011-01-07T08:18:00.000-08:00

Obsessed with two things at the moment, well maybe more but here are two I'm obsessed with: 1. Alice Dellal and 2.Oriental rugs. This picture has both and it's a cool shot. Also cool, TJ Maxx has big chenille ones for under 200 bucks.

Another cool tat-

2011-01-01T09:52:00.000-08:00

Aly's accidental coolshit.

2010-12-16T07:23:00.001-08:00

I saw Aly. I saw her cool ripped leg warmers. I asked her where she got them or if she made them. She said they ripped on her bike chains. So much fake ripped shit being sold that I thought this was but this shit is the real deal.

I love feathers but...

Eric's coolshit.

2010-12-04T17:59:00.000-08:00

My cute, fashion forward friend Eric always looks cool. Even when his hair is mussed up - it looks like a coveted 'do. But really cool is this leather he found for just 15 bucks that he geniously is going to cut the sleeves off of to make into a vest. Amaz.

Always down with the rock star coolness

2010-11-28T16:30:00.000-08:00

It is my love & my life. Also always dig the banged shag & the hanging necklace coolness.

my feather tatoo?

2010-11-24T06:06:00.000-08:00

I still want one. I like hers. And her bleached eyebrows. Also cool-my hairdresser bleached the brows at Marc Jacobs and Rodarte at the last fashion week.

Sofia of Skar's coolshit.

2010-11-22T10:09:00.000-08:00

This is one of my fav new sayings- Sofia makes these shirts and rips them just perf. And she ties cool things on her boots. Love.

Emily's coolshit.

2010-11-13T09:32:00.000-08:00

This cool sparkly studded bag is almost as cool and sparkly as my friend Emily.

Erin, Cats, Crystals & Cozy Cardy = cool.

..uses Dandy and my last name together. And it's cologne. And I think that's cool. Maybe I should call my perfume oil Varon Doll...just kidding. Just doll is fine & dandy.

Red sheep

2010-10-14T08:34:00.000-07:00

CLove's wearing a Stevie cape dress I think she actually borrowed from Nicks. Melissa's hair matches the sheep. What else is there to say.

I wear my sunglasses at night.

2010-10-13T10:43:00.000-07:00

These are not sunglasses at night. These are sunglasses on Anthony Kiedis's girl in the Cali sun. But I have heart ones too and I'm gonna wear them to my friends sunglasses only party tomorrow night in the NYC dark. Because I'm cool...or I can pretend I don't see anyone. Um, yeah.

I want to get married so I can have this.

2010-10-06T11:20:00.001-07:00

Well not THIS but something along the lines. THIS is THE ring Keith had made for Patti. Viney with a blood red 4ct Burmese Ruby, vintage ofcourse from 1983 with 18ct yellow gold made by David Courts (same guy that made Keith's infamous skull ring).
I'm in love.

(http://www.courtsandhackett.com)

Like a Rolling Stone.

2010-10-05T08:16:00.000-07:00

Patti Hansen, ahem, Richards. Keith Richards that is, but ofcourse you know that. Or if you don't you need to. From her amazing shag to her amazing stag she is a mix of womanly and rockdoll/loungewear to leather. Their daughters follow in a modern way. Closest we've got left to the cooler than cool originals.

like father like daughter?

Katie's coolshit.

2010-09-19T13:56:00.001-07:00

Katie always has the coolest hair colors from blonds with various faded pastels to blue black wonder woman now(her words-sounds amaz) & this is so coolly pretty. But she is not only creative with her colors in her hair- she is a super talented make up artist. I know first hand - she did my fav make up ever for my music vid a lil while back.

Beauty fades, beauty lives.

2010-09-14T08:28:00.000-07:00

Though it's NY Fashion Week once again-this lives on as one of the most beautiful presentations at one ever. From the late Alexander McQueen's 2006 F/W show I don't know if anyone else will ever be capable of something quite this beautiful. It is extrememly cool-a hologram of Kate Moss in his design of course. People go away and beauty fades but this won't.

Jo

2010-08-16T16:02:00.001-07:00

I've blogged about this beauty before but more about her cool lacy detailed tights & elaborate bed in the pic. But now after undergoing knee surgery and having plenty of time to lie around and read I finally had this book delivered right to me. I've wanted to read it for a long one and finished it in a just a few. Naturally by Jo Wood, long time wife of Ronnie Wood of course of the Rolling Stones, which talks about Jo's lifestyle of all organic products, foods, natural remedies and even getting her hands dirty in her own English garden. A rockdoll for sure but one that's conscious about using organics & creating a luxurious org line is modern but also so rock royalty and so needed (there are not many out there)....though don't get her wrong she still rocked out touring all over with the boys. Mixing rock, touring and organic foods, fragrant oils and tinctures. Pretty cool.

Alex's cool shit.

2010-08-09T09:20:00.000-07:00

My cool waiter from my fav Greek restaurant, Alex, is bringing back rubber bracelets and I like it. I had loads and I used to twist them too- where the hell are they?Long gone but I'm nostalgic these days..in a modern way-ev comes back around at some point...and this took me back to fun times now. That's what it's all about & it felt good.

2010-07-26T11:03:00.000-07:00

Rampling.

2010-07-24T08:17:00.000-07:00

Charlotte Rampling wasn't exactly a "rockdoll" but she was married to a composer and I love her seemingly freebird attitude and European casualness and style. Also note her lace blazer like jacket and sunnies, silver gauzey body suit, crop top with bell sleeves, long multi buttoned skirt and well, nothing. Plus she was gorgeous.

2010-07-18T18:36:00.001-07:00

cool new blog that i check almost everyday at the moment. because i can. and it's fun. and cool to see. here's some oldschool pics of some rockdolls from there. courtney or clo as they call her in versace and more couture flowers in hair. melissa auf der maur in her firey redness, gwen in her own rainbow like garb. gotta love the 90's. the music rocked & still is on my rotation. especially as i mix perfume oils. and courtney now who has become super stylish in a different way in what she wears everyday. told you. i talked about this on my record review of Nobody's Daughter here. She sends them, them being whoever started this whole thing, pics to keep up. check out it out on their blog here

ArtGuM

2010-07-14T17:13:00.000-07:00

These are the best.

They remind me of high school and college art class, especially the smell...which I'm sure the people in the art store appreciated watching me doing.

One of my very fav rockdolls

2010-07-08T21:37:00.000-07:00

As I previously promised I am going to post my favorite rockdolls. They inspire me, not only because they gallavanted and cohabited also with some of my fav rockers but because of their authentic style and accompanying beauty. Starting with Marianne Faithfull, she graces my apartment in the form of glitter art from London (see my very first blog post) and a blown up pic of the cool beauty from Girl on a Motorcyle. Right above my tele.

split blondie bangs, big lips & big lashes.

hot mama.

my ultimate fall and winter outfit- in faux fur of course.

arm candy going both ways.

kissing dangerous rocker boys is dangerous.

undies.

My love for big rings & banged up bangs.

Image from Girl on a Motorcycle though not said one above my tele.

Ad from Selfridges, from 60's, bloody love it.

Dress up may ultimately belong on my other blog...

2010-06-29T08:34:00.000-07:00

... but this one is fun & Stevie is cool. Discovered as a friend and fellow fan posted it. So here you go, all the Stevie garb you've ever wanted. I want the sequined Stand Back Cape, the velvet horse fringed Rohan bag and the flowy but short Rhiannon skirt. Of course I want the feather hair clip and gold glitter spray...though that looks toxic. And just for the hell of it the legging things, though I think Ms. Nicks had her own boots made to boost her height. One of my fav quotes is from Wildheart so had to include the necklace too. Don't blame it on me, blame it on my wildheart.

Sylph Like.

2010-06-26T09:53:00.001-07:00

When I once asked my friend if he saw me more as black or white when trying to figure out my logo for my perfume oil Doll he said I'm more like a sylph...from some movie but I don't remember what that is. But it led me to research what these are. Which led me here. Spirits of the air. Which is interesting since I'm a fire sign. Sylphs are cool. And it helped with my logo. It's done & will be revealed soon.

Malibu?

Eli's Coolshit.

I saw Eli. I saw Eli's outfit. I had to snap pic of him. He is wearing amazing braided Balenciaga sandals, print light weight vintage pants that he's hiked up in just the right way with an easy button up. I love his style - it's so laid back but so put together.

Fashion royalty.

It's Dior, it's a tiara crown like head piece (which I'm obsessed with lately) & it's Marianne Faithfull ish bangs. And it's wool....the coat dress...which means it waits for Fall but I'm posting it anyway because it's cool.

Rocker boys...& models looking like one.
