Another Fab Summer Jam

Mum & Me

Because we're worth it.
This is what we really think of the guy sitting behind us in the cap. No really, its true. This ain't no southwestern bbq! It's a fucking cocktail party at the Hotel Intercontinental. Make an effort!

Take that Tyra! Mum can kick you're ass with the smiling eyes any day! Just bring it!

We decided to go for a Miuccia look but with just a little more bling.

Homo-Neurotic Has A New Home

Heads up everyone. The homo-neurotics have settled into more salubrious surrounds better suited to keeping the queer cognoscenti and its friends entertained, informed and provoked! Let Deneuve show you the way and click on the pic.

New Glasses

Its a little bit Towa Tei. A little mid-century ad executive. But I love em.

TGIF

This is what I feel like after a long but productive week. Have a good weekend y'alls. 

Saying Goodbye

The expression says it all. Goodbye Mr Saint Laurent. We will miss you.

Crazy Beautiful

Thanks to Nagi Noda, I now desire a woodland creature made out hair, perched atop my head. A majestic stag, or perhaps a graceful japanese crane in mid takeoff combined with a super slim fitting dove grey cashmere morning suit. Now if I could incorporate a black/charcoal ombre tulle veil with the whole getup, I might just have my wedding outfit.

The Last Great Couturier

The great fashion designer and couturier Yves Saint Laurent passed away last evening in his Left Bank apartment on Rue de Babylone around 11:10pm. As the texts and emails started arriving last night relaying the news I wistfully informed my friend who was with me at the time that fashion and culture had lost one of its greats. He, however did not share my sense of loss. Though a highly informed and ravenous consumer of fashion, to him Mr Saint Laurent seemed a dinosaur, a ghost of a distant time whose relevance and influence faded decades ago. What could be less contemporary and relevant than a frail retired fashion designer worshipped largely by society matrons and the european elite? What people forget though is that Mr Saint Laurent, along with Pierre Cardin was the progenitor of the democratization of fashion that we are experiencing today. It was Saint Laurent who popularized and championed ready to wear in a time when haute couture ruled supreme and while the rest of the world, particularly America would copy, seam by seam the creations of Dior, Patou, and Madame Gres (who incidentally was the last to produce a ready to wear line calling it "prostitution"). Today, even those of us with the most modest means can have access to original fashion. 

Moreover, where other designers like Balenciaga and Chanel were primarily concerned with the challenges of construction and dressmaking, Saint Laurent created emotion, importing ideas and shapes and colors from disparate spheres such as ethnic dress and modern art, from the breathtaking sweep of a pagoda shoulder to the shocking graphic impact of a Mondrian inspired shift. From his work, we learned that clothes can become more than bourgeois acquisitions. They acquired a narrative, specifically a story of women and their new found sexuality. We also learned that through an understanding of history and art and a plurality of culture and traditions, an article of clothing, something even as simple as a two piece black tuxedo, can transcend the mundane into something iconic. Like it or not, we all learned a little from Yves Saint Laurent and we should all feel a little emptier at the passing of this man. Lord knows I do.

Token Asian Reporter

Good news everybody. I am now the fashion/luxury correspondent for Homo-Neurotic. Stay posted for the latest news in obscene sybarism and fashion commentary!

The World's First Steam punk Prime Minister?

The prime minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko shows us all how it's done. Why trudge around in mannish suits when one can stalk the halls of power in form fitting victorian inspired getups crowned with a halo of braids?

Welcome To The Fantastic Plastic World

Thanks to Andy for this brilliant piece of animation!
