Paranoid Lunacy

Our apartment might be inspired by petifores, flowers and Alice in Wonderland,

but two catwomen live here.

and if you know me at all, this video basically explains everything

and it's inspired by the femme fatal designs of Jonathan Kelsey

and if you know anything about me, or have ever seen my closet, you know that I take shoes very seriously.  If I could be naked for the rest of my life and just wear amazing footwear and maybe agent provocateur lingerie, I would be the happiest dominatrix in the world.

But until the gays take over the world and make public nudity de-categorized as indecent exposure, I guess my fetish for impropriety will have to be confined to the walls of west 10th.

And the Prada lookbook for Fall/winter '09 is rad

Oh and this is a very important announcement

My birthday is in 8 days!

My sister Amelia and my husband Michael are both coming up to stay at west 10th

And so is Papa RJ

It's going to be a celebration for all celebrations

And I already found the dress (which will remain unseen by any eyes but mine until the 25th, but let's just say it was the vintage sequin steal of the century)

and if you want to make me the happiest girl in the world, you will add these shoes to my collection so I can stop walking all the way to the Prada store in Soho just to visit them.

As you can tell from my last post, and the beginning of this one, Alice in Wonderland is a very important part of me.

Mariel and I have decided that the story that explains our lives merits a quote scrolled on the living room wall 

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.

`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'

`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

We're also obsessed with this Vogue photo shoot interpretation of the story and featuring some haute couture heavy hitters

See it here

and be inspired.

And in honor of being told I look like Zooey Deschanel for the umpteenth time, here is gift, because at least I apparently resemble someone who does good work.
