PABST BLUE RIBBON


spent the whole night watching jersey shore with Andy, Scotty, Brooke (her last day here :(), Michelle & Tracy. It snowed this morning and on the way to lunch I had a snow fight with the Thom Browne boys. I've gotta admit....

J.D.Salinger

THOUSANDS OF LITTLE KIDS, AND NOBODY'S AROUND- NOBODY BIG, I MEAN-EXCEPT ME. AND I'M STANDING ON THE EDGE OF SOME CRAZY CLIFF. WHAT I HAVE TO DO, I HAVE TO CATCH SOMEBODY IF THEY START TO GO OVER THE CLIFF- I MEAN IF THEY'RE RUNNING AND THEY DON'T LOOK WHERE THEY;RE GOING I HAVE TO COME OUT FROM SOMEWHERE AND CATCH THEM. THATS ALL I'D DO ALL DAY. I'D JUST BE THE CATCHER IN THE RYE AND ALL. I KNOW IT'S CRAZY, BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THING I'D REALLY LIKE TO BE. I KNOW IT'S CRAZY.

Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

I was flunking four subjects and not applying myself and all. They gave me frequent warning to start applying myself-but I didn't do it. So I got the ax.

Anyway, it was December and all, and it was cold as a witch's teat, especially on top of that stupid hill.

Boy, was I feeling peculiar.

Then I stated wondering like a bastard what the one sitting next to me, that taught English, thought about, being a nun and all, when she read certain books for English. Books not necessarily with a lot of sexy stuff in them, but books with lovers and all in them. Take old Eustacia Vye, in The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy. She wasn't too sexy or anything, but even so you cant help wondering what a nun maybe thinks about when she reads about old Eustacia. I didn't say anything, though, naturally.

Nobody'd be different. The only thing that would be different would be you. Like you'd just passed by one of those puddles in the street with gasoline rainbows in them.

You figured most of them would probably marry dopey guys. Guys tht get sore and childish as hell if you beat them at golf, of even just some stupid game like ping-pong. Guys that are very mean. Guys that never read books. Guys that are very boring-
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
So I don't know about bores. Maybe you shouldn't feel too sorry if you see some swell girl getting married to them. They don't hurt anybody, most of them, and maybe they're secretly all terrific whistlers or something. Who the hell knows? Not me.

Then, just to show you how crazy I am, when we were coming out of this big clinch, I told her I loved her and all. It was a lie, of course, but the thing is, I meant it when I said it. I'm crazy. I swear to God I am.

If you do something too good, then, after a while, if you don't watch it, you start showing off. And then you're not as good any more.

Truer word was never spoken, boy.

I mean do you hate it? I know it's a terrific bore, but do you hate it, is what I mean.

The Great Gatsby, Old Gatsby. Old sport. That killed me.

Some guy next to me was snowing hell out of the babe he was with. He kept telling her she had aristocratic hands. That killed me.

I can never get really sexy- I mean really sexy-with a girl I don't like a lot. I mean I have to like her a lot. If I don't, I sort of lose my goddam desire for her and all. Boy, it really screws up my sex life something awful. My sex life stinks.

I figured I'd go by that little lake and see what the hell the ducks were doing, see if they were around or not. I still didn't know if they were around or not.

WHAT WE COULD DO IS, TOMORROW MORNING WE COULD DRIVE UP TO MASSACHUSETTS AND VERMONT, AND ALL AROUND THERE, SEE. IT'S BEAUTIFUL AS HELL UP THERE. IT REALLY IS. I WAS GETTING EXCITED AS HELL, THE MORE I THOUGHT OF IT, AND I SORT OF REACHED OVER AND TOOK OLD SALLY'S GODDAM HAND. WHAT A GODDAM FOOL I WAS. NO KIDDING. I HAVE ABOUT A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY BUCKS IN THE BANK. I CAN TAKE IT OUT WHEN IT OPENS IN THE MORNING, AND THEN I COULD GO DOWN AND GET THIS GUY'S CAR. NO KIDDING. WE'LL STAY IN THESE CABIN CAMPS AND STUFF LIKE THAT TILL THE DOUGH RUNS OUT, I COULD GET A JOB SOMEWHERE AND WE COULD LIVE SOMEWHERE WITH A BROOK AND ALL AND, LATER ON, WE COULD GET MARRIED OR SOMETHING. I COULD CHOP ALL OUR OWN WOOD IN THE WINTERTIME AND ALL. HONEST TO GOD, WE COULD HAVE A TERRIFIC TIME! WUDDAYA SAY? C'MON! WUDDAYA SAY? WILL YOU DO IT WITH ME? PLEASE!

Last night I was at a bar and met a man.
He told me he worked in "mergers and acquisitions" (all New Yorkers work in fashion or finance)

"YES" I SAID, "MURDERS AND EXECUTIONS!" (LOVES IT!) ONE MORE THING OFF MY HUGE TO DO LIST OF NEW YORK ACCOMPLISHED
genuine American Psycho moment

Sarah G took me to a store called UNIQLO- JIL SANDER just finished a capsule collection for them.....IT IS INCRED MAN. AND CHEAP!

luxury will be simplicity
purity in design, beauty and comfort for all
quality for the people
basics are the common language
the future is here
- J

The store is gigantic- and set out beautifully over 3 levels of high ceilings and pristine white walls and floors. Everything is basic, cheap and high quality- its like American apparel's god and heaven- its the ultimate store for style because it is not branded, not highly designed, and therefore all the onus is on you! Freedom of expression is a rare thing in fashion I think the more and more I work on it, people are so driven by branding and 'looks' and trends that they forget that each item that they put on can be layered to create an individual--

SPEAKING OF FUTURE- CHECK OUT ALEXANDER WANG*STAR'S TAKE ON FUTURE SPORTSWEAR. woah

and my favourite Alexander- Mr McQueen (his latest campaign)

and Balenciaga----that guy from uni who got tricked into buying 10 meter long zips should have kept them and done this- zips from neck to cuff along sleeve- impractical and technically a method of constriction- BUT OH SO DIVINE- DELIME

and Alber oh you are so so incred

So I just got home from a Japanese restaurant where I drank Plum wine & ate Ramen with eggs & pork & spoons as big as bowls! When I was in the bathroom I got really freaked out because I heard this big rumbling noise and felt the ground shake and the walls move and thought that maybe New York had been blown up, and ended up going back to the table and asking the boys what it was....
THE SUBWAY TRAINS WERE BEHIND THE WALL. WTF

(in a bathtub that was for sale on the street on the way home)
WTF
wtf is this life?
this is gold

FUCK MY FACE IS RED

Just went for a run with Fernando- the professional major legue baseball player that I basically share a room with- beacuse there is a gigantic hole in the wall where our land lord has put a collection of cactus's and dinosaur statues.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
he plays for the Tampa Bay Rays and is pretty funny, he comes from New York and its the off season now so he just lounges around and smokes alot of weed.
_____________________________________________________________________________
THIS IS OUR LAND LORD TRADON= HE IS INSANE
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
THINGS HE HAS DONE RECENTLY THAT ACCOUNT FOR THIS NAME:
1. not saying anything at a bar except screaming "SANGRITA" at the counter- which ended up in shots of salsa & pesto & some freaky drug that made me vomit purple and pink and all kinds of beautiful colours
2. FALLING ASLEEP ON OUR KITCHEN FLOOR-=WHEN HE DOESNT EVEN LIVE HERE- WITH BOILED EGGS AND CHEESE ALL AROUND HIM AND COKE ALL OVER THE COUNTER AND FACE. ARGH
3. Throwing a party at our house on saturday night, BRINGING OYSTERS AT 8PM, went to get some lemon NEVER CAME BACK.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
4. Wetting the bed from being so drunk with our roommate TRACEY. HE PEED ON HER. omg
5. wearing a tophat and scarf around his waist ALL THE TIME, and swaying to music at every opportunity- even when there is no music- or he's at the supermarket buying more oysters- OR EVEN BEING ASLEEP WHILE THE RADIO IS ON PLAYING SOUL MUSIC.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
SO TO COUNTERACT ALL THIS MADDNESS HERE ARE THE LOVELY AUSTRALIANS I SPENT THE FIRST FEW WEEKS WITH; Andy, Sarah & Jackson
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I have to go now and get some free Jamersons from DBA bar on North 7th, last night we went and got free pickled sandwitches & hot acai apple cider with spiced rum. YUM OH YUM

MY RESOLUTION

Hello Cyber world!
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Back in Oz I spray painted some of my dads ex-girlfriends shoes that I snuck from her garbage bin and am wearing them all the time in New York! They are pretty simple boots with elastic at the heel and the height is perfect, not a high heel to feel too lanky in the subway when it sways under the Hudson River, and not small enough to feel odd wearing ankle cropped boots with my large disgusting biker calves. bahaa.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
A photo from THE BRYANT PARK! WOAH! Where there is an ice-skating rink for christmas and lots of little children fall over, soon they will clear it all up and start preparing for NEW YORK FASHION WEEK, YES OH YES! I applied for a job working as a promoter for FIJI water so that I could get unlimited backstage passes to all the shows....we'll see how that goes!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
(I love the street art everywhere, its like the entire world has gone against advertising and paints over everything, maybe its all inpsired by Supreme? This was taken on Bedford Ave, Williamsburg, just around the corner from where I live, I love walking past it everyday on the way to work!)

Starting to think that posting every day little bits and pieces is way more fun and maybe more entertaining for you Meliss-Bliss and Vlad and Melissa Tan(my 3 readers <3)

Georgia Photoshoot

Photoshoot from a few months ago, where the dress and jacket have been cut to fit a chair. The jacket is exactly the dimentions of the back of the chair, with the shoulders displaced higher on the neck and padded so that it can also be put on the body. The dress draping at the front is the same dimentions as the chair seat, and the length of the legs.

Williamsburg NEWZ

listen to this song while reading this post- it will make you happy.....it is so good to listen to on the subway!!!



SO MY FLATMATE just made a reservation for a restaurant down the road, quickest available- FEB 2010- she booked it for 6 just in case we meet cool people and want to invite them.


WOW new york....you're freaking me out man.


I feel so retarded for never updating this blog and telling people that I will and just dont, and I keep on talking to people or writing emails with the same silly gossip so IM GOING TO WRITE IT IN ONE PLACE FROM NOW ON AND ITS HERE!
Here. where? Theres a party over there would you like to come? hen bring a bottle of rum-tum-tum. Cant afford it. Then pack your bags and get lost.


New York is so cheap! You can buy pizza slices bigger than my cat latte for $1 on almost every street corner, topped with italian home-made boccocini or avocado or vodka sauce (best thing). You can buy nutrient/vitamin water to counteract all the pizza for $1 too!

So we're having a party at our house on Saturday night--- this is what it looks like although I will post more photos soon





(ALL THE CITY PHOTOS ARE THE VIEW FROM OUR ROOFTOP/LOUNGE ROOM......IT IS ABSOLUTLY INCREDIBLE AND I SIT UP THERE AND DRINK TEA AND READ MY TRASHY BOOK AND GET VITAMIN D AND ALWAYS FEELING LIKE I MIGHT HAVE DIED AND THIS IS ACTUALLY HEAVEN)




Im living with a Danish girl called Michelle, and an Amercian girl called Tracey. The dane is doing an internship with an online fashion trend forcasting magazine and Tracey is doing PR, her firm handles alot of fashion week clients so we're all running around like mad hens at the moment in preparation for next month.




Fernando is the last person I live with and is lots of fun, he is a major legue baseball player and recently gave Michelle a signed copy of one of his baseball cards, which she found amusing and unneccessary, but New Yorkers are weird like that. Everyone needs to anaylse and one-up the next person, and everyone is really into self-promotion. Maybe thats how you get higher up or maybe everyones just too bloody self-confident here.

Here are some photos of the Australians I have been hanging out with alot- especially in this awesome bar called Max fish -----

They are all Sarah G's friends, a girl I went to high school with





Her boyfriend (ANDYYY) won a green card in the online lottery and ended up moving here about 6 months ago to do an internship at a place called Common Projects- which he has since basically taken over and now gets paid! YAY but minimally, so if I win the lottery tomorrow (as planned) then I will share 20% with him, and 20% with Jackson, because we bought them toether...



Jackson is an awesome bloke who I have basically been spending every day with so far because he is Australian and super calm and cool and collected and all the other good c-words, including good cook. We have been very touristy, visiting MoMa, the bodies exhibition, the rock and roll exhibition at Brooklyn Muuseum, Times Square etc etc.


(this is jackson with my hair over the top....)


We saw this horrible movie together called On The Road- DO NOT GO AND SEE IT- even if Rolling Stone said it was amazing----its horrible and scary and boring....basically its the end of the earth (but noone bothers explaining why) and Charlize Theron kills herself pretty early on in the movie so theres not even aesthetic viewing pleasure, and a man and his son basically travel around America looking for food and the sea, which they eventually find and the man dies. Great.
All the humans turn to cannibals and start eating each other and they have to keep running away from freaky situations where people have locked other people up and are eating thier legs etc for something to do.....
argh terrible.
basically its shit
there are a few funny things in it though like when the boy asks "daddy, do we eat people"
"no son, we're good people"
"even if we're starving"
"we're starving right now arent we"
"okay so how else do i tell if people are good"
"son, if people are good they carry the fire"

my new coat: what do you think melissssblisss??




OKAY so it was quite funny for the rest of the week bagging Jackson about the script, and it was lots of fun quoting it.

Other funny things included going to Babeland- a crazy sex shop in manhattan that sells everything from candles and moisturiser to 'the rabbit' and rubber duckies (less innocent than you might think) IT FREAKS ME OUT BECAUSE LATER THAT DAY I NOTICED A RUBBER DUCK IN THE BATHROOM AND THE GUY THAT OWNS THIS HOUSE IS TOTALLY CRAZY AND WHEN I MOVED IN HE TOLD ME HE HAD PREPARED ME A PLEASURE BOX FULL OF MASSAGERS AND CONDOMS AND CANDLES SO THAT I CAN FEEL MORE AT HOME........ARGH

LOL okay when Tracey first came here she got really drunk with him (his name is Trey and he's the one throwing the party on Saturday) and they ended up coming back to this house at about 5am- because Tracey was brand new in town she didnt know how to get home so she just slept here, with Trey, and she woke up a few hours later soaking wet.......they had gotten so drunk that he had weed all over her EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


ANYWAY
it literally is 2am and I have to be at work at 9:30 and Im going to Julian Casablancas tomorrow night with that football player Nathan Brown SO I REALLY NEED TO GET SOME SHUT EYE..

I bought new blue laura Ashley flannel sheets that are floral and beautiful and now I feel so lucky to be in bed and so upset that Ill only get to chill in there for a few hours.

I WILL UPDATE EVERYTHING ON EVERYTHING ON THE WEEKEND. MOST DEF. MOS DEF
sorry sorry sorry!
