she now lives in New York and writes for For Those Who Know (4TWK. com) a site that covers music, film, art, literature, and everything in between. where she currently is writing concert reviews.
Hannah also writes for Joonbug (Joonbug. com) a guide to NYC nightlife, entertainment, culture, restaurants, fashion, etc. here she spends here time writing musician bios, restaurant reviews, and boutique write-ups. in addition to those two sites she also writes for a men's specific high end fashion blog
that goes by Rare Daily (Raredaily. com). if all that wasn't enough i decided to bring her on board to my Boston based blog creation team. she will be updating weekly on upcoming events in NYC that include everything from secret boutique soirees and sample sales. even just updating us with any and every lil hip blip tip.
I know where Hercules and Love Affair was on Tuesday evening, yes I do! Kiss-Kissing with the likes of none other than Karl Lagerfeld at the Opening of the Chanel Mobile Art container after playing a rather "rollicking" set (EXCLUSIVE Agyness Deyn quote right there loves). From Chanel, Karl, and Kate Bosworth to the middle east in Cambridge, MA... oh what we'll do for money.

Architect Zaha Hadid created the futuristic pavilion, housing anomalous interpretation, dreamy fastasy, and the dynamic vision of 20 international artists translating what they believe to be the inspiring elements of the Iconic Chanel quilted bag. Yes, its a huge ego massage-fest at the House that Coco built. Smack dab right in the middle of Central Park, and free admission- I mean hello.

Head Designer Karl Lagerfeld, captain bondage- in a black and white, chose more metaphysical musings for his choice media rebuttal when asked about the juncture at which art and his fashions meet.
"What is art, what is architecture, what is fashion?"
-really, go on. Is that fine orange Italian leather or your skin that's turning me on...

"All those things, one should not put it in the same melting pot. Architecture is architecture, fashion is fashion, and art is art. We don't need art, but we cannot live without it."
Speak for yourself Daddy K, I need a giant Chanel teddy S&M mise-en-scène and a giant purse just to get me through the day.

"Actually, architecture we need because otherwise we are freezing, and clothes we need because we cannot run around naked."

So, leave Boston, go to NYC and check out the exhibit. You may see Agyness Deyn, But don't worry- she's just the 6th member of Jem and the holograms and merely a figment of hipster imagination. You can only blame yourself.

The moral of the story is this...Basically, leave Boston. http://www.chanel-mobileart.com/

For all y'all wannabe strippers, pseudo sluts, escort girls in training, or just anybody that's trying to live through the 90' Miami era all over again, check out LalaLingerie lingerie etc. The name alone makes me think of Bettie Page look-alikes on a merry-go-round and blood-red cotton candy dripping down their faces with Slayer blasting in place of that childish jingle whilst tugging on their black and white studded bikini bottoms.

It's like what American Apparel swimsuits wanted to be but never could have the nerve. Upon releasing their 2008 swimsuit collection, they incorporated mismatching gold lame with white rhinestoned bottoms, and lacey white monokinis with chains. Of course LalaLingerie didn't fail to incorporate those 5-inch stripper heels that all of y'all know I LOVE to wear along with each outfit...

fiii-erceeeee.

Oh, did I mention their swimsuit/lingerie/CASUAL-wear line is headlined by impeccable sluts-R-us Halloween costumes ?! Now I know where I'll be picking out my costume, and if I know any of you as well as I think I do, you will want to too. With sub-catagories such as but not limited to, "sexy costumes", "schoolgirl costumes", "fairytale costumes", "pirate costumes", etc., who could resist? We're all sluts on the inside, right ? Oh, on that note, they've got "men's costumes" for all the queens in the world. Or my neighbor hood, the South end, which is a close tie.










I know it may be difficult to differentiate the costumes from the swimsuits from the lingerie but I swear it all makes sense on the website, and I swear this up & coming line is worth checking out. I swear to god. Or Bettie Page. Whatever.

It's very safe to say I love Rick Owens. But, upon scouring the interweb wide nets this morning, pricing looks I can't afford, I found myself questioning my faith. How well do Ricks radical creations translate to the mainstream (non front-row-watching Lara Stone & Tanya Dziahileva @ Gareth Pugh (in the meatpacking) give you (so much)shadow whilst trying to get "look inspiration" for the Jessica Stam/Carmen Cass party @ Le Baron for the Greenhouse that "no one else" knows about except you "know" marykate is going to be there cause you watched Mario Testino text her on his blackberry "kiss kiss party @ LeB" and you know you need to step it up and get a real look going and not be a repeat offender wearing those Margiela platforms you shouldn't have bought cause they're beige and now you have no money to wear black like everyone else) masses? Like you know, normal god-fearing folk.

I mean I know I could and would wear everything Rick. But... what about everyone else?

...[update:] ick I feel like a name dropper, I promise I was just trying to set the mood.






I’m never one to address nor compliment the designing, artistic, or fashion abilities of a teenaged girl, especially one of my nationality (for competition reasons, obviously), but 16-year-old Russian designer Kira Plastinina takes the cake. Adding to her repertoire of talent, she's also fucking adorable.

Having just opened her first two U.S. stores in New York City and Los Angeles in addition to the 47 locations throughout Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan (thanks to her millionaire daddy), her empire of candy-coated neon-colored girly street-wear is seen on everybody from Paris Hilton to that 18-year-old hipster you were just doing bumps with in the bathroom of Happy Endings. Damn, thanks dad!

With seven more store openings in the works in the U.S. this year, Kira has been shamelessly self promoting her cutesy designs on every red carpet this past summer whilst staying in LA before returning to Moscow for school. Her two-year-old company sky-rocketed her ego, as well as bank account, but it won't burn through yours with each clothing piece averaging at a mere 84 dollars. 84 dollars isn’t that much when you think about it… that’s what, about two grams of blow? Not a big deal.

The stores shout tacky (in the best sense of the word) Russian babygurlll princess with it's hot "Kira" pink walls, extravagant chandeliers, and full-sized mirrors ( for the narcissist or coke addict in all of us), and I’m ecstatic for the opening of the Boston location, which I am hoping is in the very near future, for the sake of every pseudo-fashionista of this city who’s just not cutting it, which needless to say is a high count.











From Russia with love.........
