Hell on Leather
The silver studs I ordered online finally arrived today, so I was able to start work customising one of my leather jackets. The lapels are covered now, and I added some up the back of the sleeves and round the back of the collar too. Next thing to make is a back piece! I like the way it's going so far, though.
Ladies and Gentlemen...
The other evening, Monorail film club showed Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (Lou Adler, 1981) at the GFT. Starring Diane Lane (The Outsiders, Rumble Fish), Laura Dern (Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart), Ray Winstone (Scum, Sexy Beast) - as well as Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols and The Clash's Paul Simonon - it tells the story of 3 teenage girls who, dissatisfied with their lives, start a punk band called The Stains who carry the motto "We Don't Put Out!".
Lead character Corrine Burn's costumes and hairstyle, which quickly become slavishly imitated by the band's legion of female fans calling themselves 'Skunks', are but a few of the things that helped make the film acquire a cult following of its own, with fans such as Courtney Love and the underground filmmaker Sarah Jacobson. If you haven't seen The Fabulous Stains, I urge you to hunt down a copy NOW.

Beauty in Vogue Italia
Craig McDean does it again...
I would wear this exact outfit. Jessica Stam looks like she's channeling Pam Hogg, Debbie Harry and Cruella De Ville. Oh. and I NEED those shades (or exact copies of).
I'm always a sucker for animal print. Like the clashing with floral print too. Oh, I need that hat as well. Love the editing of this image.
Hello, Soo Catwoman! Been a while.
Dum Dum Girls
Dum Dum Girls are a fourpiece from Brooklyn on the Sub-Pop label. Their style reminds me of the Shangri-Las (especially the above photo with the motorcycle). They will be playing at the 1-2-3-4 festival in Shoreditch on the 24th of July alongside lots of other great new bands.
Listen to their tracks & watch some of the videos HERE.
Edwige
I was over at my friend Rachel Sharpe's flat the other day and I noticed she had some photos of a stunning, punky bleached blonde woman pinned to her wall. I asked her who it was, and that's how I discovered Edwige Belmore, 'queen of the punks'. Part of the Warhol and Studio 54 set, I'd undoubtedly seen her picture in books and magazines but it never really clicked before. Now I really wish I'd found out earlier.
Her life reads like my wet dream - Parisian model haunting New York underground hangouts like Mudd Club and Danceteria, rubbing shoulders with hot artists and hip no-wavers, striding down the catwalk for Gaultier and later releasing her own music, singing in nightclubs and starring in a film with Vincent Gallo.
Swap lives, please?
