Just a photo of David Bowie with a beard in some Japanese rock mag. I wish I knew what the rest of it says.
It’s not often that you see The Dame with facial hair.

Brilliant design—and nice tailoring—by Chadwick John Dillon of this fashionable suit of armor hoodie.
Whether or not this puppy is for sale (or if there are others like it) is unclear. The only link I have is to Chadwick’s Facebook page. I want one of these to wear when I watch Game of Thrones!

Although it doesn’t explicitly say so anywhere, it seems pretty obvious to me that this life-size sculpture “Broken girl” by Adnagaporp is meant to be Warhol Superstar Edie Sedgwick.
Well, a zombie Edie, anyway.
Made to order by Etsy seller percylau, these pieces of shrunken body-part jewelry are excellent. There’s something very David Cronenberg about them…
Thanks to Kim Thompson.
“Corpsepaint Creatures” by Tokyo-based artist Bunny Bissoux, is an examination of rock bands throughout history who have worn “corspepaint” on their ugly mugs. Screen prints are available for purchase on his her website.
As a side note: Upon further inspection, it looks like Bunny Bissoux forgot to add Soft Machine to her mighty illustration. Surely Kevin Ayers would count?

I can certainly appreciate the swell design of the “Pilule” bag by Christian Louboutin, however, I don’t like it enough to spend $6,995 on it. Yikes!
Christian Louboutin celebrates 20 years of iconic designs with a capsule collection compiled of favorite pieces from decades past. The “Pilule”, constructed in 100% resin, returns with the capsule collection. Produced in very limited quantities, this is your daily dose of Louboutin and it is just what the doctor ordered.
What pharmaceutical product is this capsule supposed to represent, anyways? I don’t recognize it. Is it a “happy” pill or just an antibiotic?

Bruce Lee’s teeny-tiny body featuring your head. Very interesting.
The silk dress by Ground Zero comes equipped with leather sleeves and gold-tone studs. It can be yours for a mere $620.00.
Very “Teletubbies” isn’t it?
Vidal Sassoon died on Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 84.
Famous for creating iconic, modish hair styles during the Swinging Sixties and developing a hugely successful line of hair products in the 70s and beyond, Sassoon was a pioneer in hitching his star to pop culture as well as influencing it. From Carnaby Street to discotheques in Queens to those little bottles you get in hotel bathrooms, Sassoon’s mission was to make the world look good, because “if you don’t look good, we don’t look good.”
As in couture, the cut is the most important element… haircutting simply means design and this feeling for design must come from within.” Vidal Sassoon
Here’s Sassoon on an episode of What’s My Line from 1967.
Check out this clever new spin on tights, with a little dude climbing up a woman’s skirt. Not saying I’d want that to happen to me, or anything, but it’s neat design. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like these before.
They’re sold by 18-year-old fashion designer named Duygu, and it appears she’s giving a few away on her site which you can visit here.
They’re sold by Turkish company Penti. You can buy them here.

I kinda like these not-your -average, run-of-the-mill one-piece swimsuits by Etsy shop thePussPuss. According to the write-up, they’re “Made in the EU with love using top quality fabric from Italy.”
If the two swimsuits pictured above and below don’t pique your interests, thePussPuss offers other designs including: APC 40 Controller, Korg KM 202 Mixer, Atari Falcon 030, and the Clavia Nord Modular Classic.
Me, I’m holding out for one with a vintage VCS 3 synth, like Eno used.
All the swimsuits mentioned are retailing for $98.00.
