METAL.

This video by Jogger,via Beautiful Decay, blew my skirt up.

1. I would totally have had a crush on these boys. I love the bad ones. It was rumored that my first-grade crush, Jason N., had SMOKED a CIGARETTE. Also note that my current (and probably future) husband was having vodka parties by age 11.

2. I'm never fucking having kids. If I do accidentally, give me a pregnant goth teen girl over a boy destroyer any day of the week.

3. Metal, man.METAL.

NOTW: DIY Friendship!

Look! I received the awesomest mail from my good friend Kelly, who is the Captain of Design Crush. I loved making friendship bracelets as a kid, but I never made a necklace, much less one as lovely as this. You can DIY one yourself too from this tutorial. Make friends and influence people.

If I didn't kill houseplants like it was my job, I would totally get alllll of these awesome dino/animal planters.

When I'm in NOLA in April, I hope I get to see this amazing public art installation by Candy Chang. Based on three words: "Before I die..." via FLUX

Definitely dated a dude once who also did this.

I love Hugo Lugo's surreal paintings of little men.

Repopulating your Desert Island

This part of winter is always the toughest and has me dreaming of spring break.But not margarita-shots-and-beads spring break. Really when I say spring break, I mean jetting off barefoot to a remote island and leaving this shitshow behind forever.

I was dreaming of my perfect stranded-on-a-desert-island lifestyle last night and who I would want with me. One rule: No one on the island is allowed to be smarter than me. Here's who makes the cut:








1. Token family. Dogs, husband. Parents, siblings. Because they'd miss me.

2. Token boyfriend. I'm a fucking Desert Island Queen, I've got lots of needs.

3. Army of Tall Amazonian Lesbians. I imagine them looking like Kate Moss on steroids. They are needed to defend the island from all those assholes from my high school. Who TOTALLY WANT IN.
(Also they can help with occasional Desert Island Queen needs as well.)

4. Tim Gunn and that Millionaire Matchmaker lady. I need some comrades to sit back and judge the tall lesbians with.

5. MacGyver. Duh.

6. I would like to take this opportunity to get chickens and 10 more dogs.

7.My best friend, who in this scenario is a bikini seamstress, moonshiner, and doughnut chef. To fill in the rest of my non-sexual needs.

Who would you bring?

Idiotic Accessories : Damir Doma Hairnets & Topshop Antlers

This is not your dish-washing hairnet. You pull this one out of your armoire for high-end events like dumpster-diving and pet funerals.



For your parade of goth Jabba-the-Hut-bikini-dancer rejects, the look also works well.



Come on Topshop. The woodland creature fad is so 2010. Also I find these antlers racist.

The Silence Beneath The Bark.

I am utterly in love with this warm watercolor animation by Joanna Lurie. Take 10 minutes of your day to watch. It will make you feel warm and gooey like blueberry pie. (I recommend full screenin' it.)
