Land Of The Free & Home Of The Babes

Summer is magic. Here is a sneak peak of what summer has consisted of so far:
Rockaway Beach, Brooklyn, space cakes, tan lines, friends, beers, sprinklers, sparklers, ice cream cones, fireworks, photo booth pictures, punk rock shows, fake beaches, real beaches, pizza, vintage cars, rooftops, love, kisses, long days and longer nights



As a sidenote, all of my friends are extremely & exceptionally good looking.


Video and editing by me, more to come soon.

where the days are short and the nights are long

The lack of updates can be blamed on the beautiful weather NYC has been graced with these past few weeks. I've been spending my days gym-ing, BBQing, tanning, and packing up my boyfriend's 1974 Ford LTD and hightailing it to Rock Rock Rockaway Beach.








Got my base tan & my boo. I'm already ahead of the summer game!

guide us in the pursuit of the spirit world

We can all agree that there is a timeless organic mysticism linked to mid-1960's hippie regalia. Feathers, crystals, dream catchers, etc. all capture the essence of that time; a period of hope, love, and social revolution. I'm all about incorporating that into everyday outfits, however this new fangled craze of feather hair extensions needs to fucking stop. How is this not the creepiest thing you've ever seen in your life? It's one thing to braid a piece of suede into your hair, incorporating beads, flowers, feathers, etc .. that is totally fine and cute. But it needs to end there. Examples:






yes



NO.



Do you see the distinction?

disco pants means its Friday

photo from Friday's dance party DJing with Catherine. Our monthly residency at K&M (in Williamsburg) is always super fun, so you should probably come to the next one on June 10th if you want to hear more awesome songs like this one:

rainy day vibes

a.k.a. perfection.

"she was the still point of the turning world, man"

I want to live my life through a Sofia Coppola color filter.






"We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we couldn’t fathom them at all. We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them."
- The Virgin Suicides

So after a long hiatus, I decided to resurrect this blog that I totally forgot existed for two reasons:

1.) My previous posts were hilarious
2.) I miss writing out my scattered thoughts

I do have a tumblr for visual inspirations, music, etc. but I view that as more of an electronic "mood board" than a blog.

So here we are, back from the dead.

I'll leave you with this rad lilliput song:

cropped sweaters + black lipstick

Knee Socks!

There's something fundamentally wrong with you if you can't jive with '60s uptempo/doo-wop. I came across this little gem while making a compilation mix for a friend last night. How freaking CUTE?

Enjoy.

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS ALL UP IN YA

!

easy like sunday morning

this is what I did today pt 2.

So Good.

Despite being about a month and a half late in discovering the Raveonettes' new album, I think I've listened to it (on repeat) enough times to compensate for the lost time. Needless to say, I am fucking obsessed. The Raveonettes, who's name is a direct combination of The Ronnettes & Buddy Holly's "Rave On!", are an extremely underrated rock & roll duo from Denmark that I have been in love with since I first heard "That Great Love Sound" in 2003 (off of the album Chain Gang of Love i.e. the inspiration for my blog name IAMSOGAY). I know I'm not reinventing the wheel here, but they are everything I could ever want in a band. With musical influences such as The Velvet Underground, The Everly Brothers, and The Ramones, their sound mimics the structural simplicity of classic '50s & '60s beats and adds a modern electric twist. Check out their new album In and Out of Control because it is completely amazing and probably one of the best albums I've heard all year.
