Women of the IRA

Columbine

All images from The Fourth Sex are paralleling and contradicting images of youth culture. When opposing realities and images of youth meet, they collide, there's violence...as in Columbine. I was in 4th grade when that happened.

Violence is a part of youth culture; the armed struggle of the IRA was propelled by youth, Bobby Sands was 27 when he starved to death.

Kids try on habits learned from adults.

The Fourth Sex

I read once that the most attractive part of a man is his femininity, and the most attractive thing in a woman is her masculinity. This is the epitome of that sentiment.

Last September, Katie Gallagher's Show in Tribeca

Your Brows Are A Passport to Paradise

I saw so much of those circular grommet-y things adorning shoes, bags, clothes in new york. From Topshop and steve madden shoes up to Marc Jacobs. Whenever I saw them I yelled out "GROMMETS!". It's a trend...hopefully people yelling accusatorily at them will be as well. A review of Katie Gallagher's show is brazenly forthcoming. In the meantime...here are some pictures from when I put on a comme des garcons fw 09 coat.

Going To New York..

...and hoping to get into Katie Gallagher's show at the Tribeca Grand hotel. I dug her graduate show at school this year, interested to see where she takes it. The peacocks will be out in full force, and I intend to be quietly cooing in the undercurrents of the squawking Fashion Force. And if I see this kid 

I'll either jump him, his bones that is, or step on his asymmetric train. Probably just gape though...
