holler back home

first things first. i realized today that i haven't had a link to malorie urbanovitch in the blogs-of-note section. this is being remedied right......... now. silliness. what a bad person i am. malorie is brilliant and i love her and you should too. buy her clothes gosh darnit. (also, nickol who does the makeup for her campaigns is a bit of a wizard. possible deals-with-devils type wizard.)

i was thinking of her because the row prefall reminded me of her line. the way it's shot, the models used... not the clothes SOO much, but the first look at least. and that connection made me like the row lots, and made my heart all warm and fuzzy. i think the dress with the cutout-sheer side panel is so mega-sexy. i was already thinking about getting a tattoo right about there. and now i am extra-double thinking about it. (sorry mom.) who wants to give me money to get a tattoo? and does that person also, maybe, wanna buy me that dress? jeeeepers! thank you!!!

quickly quickly, i'd like to look at vionnet today too. there's something athletic about this model. the hair and clean-face makeup maybe. but also her stance and her jawline. i like that about her. the last look is my fave. so straightforward but so dramatic. (sheer.) and those great italianey boots. hard edged and functional yet feminine. i get a sense of womanly strength from these clothes. straightforward wit that allows for glamour without getting lost in it. yeah? wouldn't you say?
