current bedfellows

i know i post her a lot, but i especially love joan in the spring.

i rarely post images of myself, but this is me in zana. i'm always a bit shy sharing what i look like, but last month i had my portrait taken by artists stacey ransom & jason mitchell as part of an artist series they are working on for an exhibition at varnish gallery in the fall. (also take a peek at stacey's incredible blog too) the experience was amazing and we look forward to sharing the results soon.

strapped in.

my 90% all black wardrobe is only punctuated by bloodmilk & often zana bayne harnesses to add a punchy detail to the plainness of my clothing choices. for me, my fashion reference point is a cocktail of lydia deetz/ beetlejuice ( the other 10% of my wardrobe is blk & white stripes) and the young bloods of ray ceasar's paintings who are often wearing harnesses. a bit odd but necessary. so i was thrilled to see the first images of her new fall line, my favorites of which are pictured above.

ray.
