“One final thing I have to do...and then I’ll be free of the past.” —John “Scottie” Ferguson, Vertigo Every year that I move forward, I end no further than eight pound chains. I guess I think if I run fast enough, I can bust out of them, shattering iron loops like ice. But I’ve run very far, and very hard — thousands and thousands of miles along the ocean floor. I’ve arrived at the gates of ... READ MORE
DANGEROUS WOMAN
My feelings for fall are blatant. (My feelings for winter are worse.) My feelings for the in-between, for Halloween, are contradictory, but as is much of who I am. Just the same, it's neither the humor nor the terror (though they both charm me), but the principle of stripping away all identity — the unleashing of a purposeless metamorphosis — that enthralls me beyond reason. The idea of becoming ... READ MORE
WEEDS & CONCRETE
Everyone gets to the anniversary of an era to say they’ve grown up. I think I’ve grown out. I’ve split through my seams and frayed at the hem and the only thread that held up, I pulled for luck, lifting scissors to cut while my head caves in from the in and out, out and in questions: Am I doing enough? Have I done too much? I’ve learned New York will do that to a woman. But I’ve surprised ... READ MORE

NOLA AND HER SONG
Life on the run is my scripture. I'm swept away by nomadic winds from every direction at any and every moment -- it's the only way I've ever known. It's the only way I like. I found my first steady craving for New Orleans this past Spring (how is Spring already in the past?), around Mardi Gras. But I was very much not going during Mardi Gras. Most obviously because my life was in fucking ... READ MORE
MIAMI VICE
Memorial Day Weekend had finally began. We were off the plane and into a cheap Uber, with a driver who spoke little English but had no problem embarking on a wild goose chase after liquor. With a handle of vodka, Cool Ranch Doritos, and an assortment of tums and Advil, we began a terribly humid journey to the Fontainebleu. The place is a maze, but beautiful; decorated with massive chandeliers ... READ MORE
BEACH BOUND / CARRY-ON ESSENTIALS
*Ques Will Smith* We're going to Miami! Three weeks ago I surprised my best friend with a trip to South Beach for her birthday, and we're finally hopping on the plane en route to a bunch of debauchery -- you know, just living our best fucking life. And as I've been non-stop as of late, I wanted to break down my packing method (or lack there of? TBD), and share all of the travel-size ... READ MORE
GARDEN OF THE GODS
Follow my blog with Bloglovin The moment I heard someone say "Garden of the Gods," my mind spun. Following five seconds of photo research, I declared it an emergency that we go. So we jumped in the car on a warm weekday afternoon, and with my feet on the dashboard and Smash Burger in my belly, drove an hour and half from Denver to Colorado Springs. I didn't have any expectations, but I ... READ MORE
OASIS
Winter is my nemisis, and following the events that were lamented at the end of 2016 (and per Resolutions), I quickly came to the conclusion I needed a vacation. Not a staycation, or weekend return to the wicked tundra of upstate New York, but a plane ticket that would bring me far away from that and the inevitable stress and sadness of the season. So when my hometown friend reached ... READ MORE
NYFW / JONATHAN SIMKHAI AW17
Said to have evoked the Devine, the Jonathan Simkhai Fall Winter 2017 collection premiere is still a voice of feminine reform—long after the snow-burdened streets of New York Fashion Week melted into season's past. The elaborate lace, flowing chiffon, and incomparable embroidery boasts of romance—but this collection springs beyond femininity as a delicacy. Instead, Simkhai sought to craft a ... READ MORE
