Retro Bubbles, Made to Order…
Sometimes I wish I could go back… me circa 1985… sun bleached sea of curls, running along the beaches on the Cape playing mermaid (you know you loved Splash when it came out… Actually it kind of scared me but I still thought it would be cool to be able to turn into a mermaid)…...
PDX Super Crafty
Have you ever had one of those mornings? I just spent 20 min composing a magnificent post for you all.. Complete with a wrap of the Renegade Craft Fair which took place in Chicago this weekend (I had some associates give me the dish on the coolest designers there…) and a rambling yet compelling paragraph...
Like a Virgin…. Group Ltd.?
When you hear the term “Virgin Threads,” what comes to mind? Personally, I think of some pure form of clothing… you know, vir·gin adj: in a pure, natural, or clean state… and threads: a slang word for clothes. To me it connotes some kind of uncorrupted style, fashion, or design. It turns out my idea...

Crash/ Pulse

One, because tomorrow September 10th they, along with over a dozen other New York businesses, will be donating 100% of all profits to hurricane Katrina...

Caught in the Fashion Net….
I have to admit I’ve been a bit down lately. Fall is a time of new beginnings (new season, new schools, new jobs etc.), and it’s hard to focus on that when so many people have lost everything. As I have chosen not to overwhelm you with any of my political views, I will say...
