The Visual/The Verbal: Speaking In Hieroglyphics (Grabbing Language By The Throat)
Though your MySpace page tells us "all we need to know," Mia—your photography exposes a vulnerable intensity. The beauty inherent is that which remains unspoken: those subtle nuances, the vocabulary of the heart that extends beyond logic & its parameters. It's none of what a viewer "need[s:] to know," yet it's everything.
The ability to send the blood rushing—to thaw hearts as impenetrable and cold as marble—through a glacial striptease?
This is what it is to cast spells: not of the...

Retail Pervery!
(…and it's long overdue)
THE SIXTH PRIZE RIBBON among
the JARED GOLD/CLINT CATALYST CO-BRANDED MERCHANDISE—
as modeled by the phenomenal Lenora Claire , an L.A.-based art curator, burlesque performer, freelance writer and television/nightlife personality.
Item Description:
Congratulations! You are really did it this time! You're twisted, deviant, salacious, and—of course, lovable. What better way to announce it to the world than this "Perv" Prize Pin?

"And If Cupid's Got A Gun, Then He's Shootin'…"
Quickly, now—download this track:
"Until We Bleed" — Kleerup featuring Lykke Li
No, really. Download it.
I'm attempting to convey something here, to translate the vocabulary of my heart.
Let me try that again: What I'm trying to do is provide a soundtrack for Mia Tyler 's photography, so I'd appreciate it if you'd just humor me for a minute, O.K.? (& that's with a "please" & "thank you")
I can't tell you if it's a song Miss Tyler would choose herself; hell, I don't even know I'd pick it, if I...

CFF – Two Awards For Catalyst In 2008

"Oh RATS! I Forgot My Purse…"
The expression takes on an entirely new meaning with Reid Pepard's RP/ENCORE line of accessories…
Ah, but wait! Before you hit PETA on speed-dial, her website does provide the following disclaimer:
"Every effort has been made to see that the creatures used in RP/ENCORE are victims of road kill, pest control, or natural death."
Controversy set aside for other 'Great Debates,' I'll give her this: the prize ribbons from my collaboration with Jared Gold make a tame statement when...

Review Of Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache — Flaunt Magazine
Issue 52, The "Spring Fashion Issue"
While the process of uploading/archiving/formatting my site to WordPress is—generally speaking—yawnsville territory, the occasional film strip I "re-visit" compensates for the pain-in-the-assery of it all : remembrances of whom was with me, where I was, the tilt-a-whirl of excitement I felt upon picking up the copy of Flaunt, in which this brief review (see: paragraph three) appeared…
Massive thanks and congratulations, B.B.: In five sentences...

Two Bombshells With Cobalt-Colored Hair
First, I'm stoked to have social media superhero Miss Destructo
as the next 'Consumer As Spokesmodel' (despite how admittedly goober the title may be…) :: Keep sending in those glamour shots of you rockin' product, kids… Whether it's a book bag or a prize ribbon, I'd love to plaster your face up here for all the w.w.w. to see!
And next, a familiar face on this blog, as of late—
Zoetica Ebb, filling the role of "Check-Me-Out-Bitches; I'm In An Ad!"
Ahhh, YES:
I really love this...

The Description Of An Absence
It was during that moment when my chest turns into an open space, an interminable length of time when it seems like a panel of chain-link fence gets peeled back, lies in wait for a surge of emotions to slip inside.
Then. Just as my mouth rearranged itself around the poem's final words— "A wad/of cold sheets/on my bed"—it was then, when I no longer recognized my voice but rather the blink of silence following. That's when I noticed him.
I'm sure I stood frozen in some exaggerated pose, arms...

Envy: A New Fashion Magazine from The Creators of The Fashionably Independent
The Widget? Pentegram, fully throwin' down…
(That'd be five stars, in case my strand of Polari doesn't translate well.)
Fully backin' the ability to customize the size and lay-out options, as well as the international content contained therein.
To be honest, I'd rate the content in the current "issue" as a 4.5—meaning, of course, I know full well The Indie Fashion crew is capable of upping the ante beyond the established paradigm.
My request? Sprinkle in some content from Japanese men's...
