Moonstone
Photographer: Tony Veloz
Wardrobe Stylist: Walter Reed for T.H.E. Artist Agency
Hair: Soel, Urban Style Lab using Bumble and bumble Sumotech
Styling: sweater by Dolce and Gabbana, boots by Marc Jacobs (boots), pants by J Jeans
23 October 2009, U Street -- Fashion photographer Tony Veloz is nothing short of a genius. Add to that the talents of stylist Walter Reed (represented by T.H.E. Artist Agency) and you've got a dream team who's bound to create brilliance. On an immediate visual level, Walter's styling is a departure from drab fall/winter colors in favor of a wardrobe that pops. The metallic textures flatter in a dimension beyond colour, bouncing light away to leave dark, silhouette-defining shadow. At a deeper level, this series was a real test to my ability to create and stay in character. Imagine for a second you are standing on a moonstone that frees you from the constraints of gravity. Liberate your body, master its movement, and unleash your inner masculinity.

Again, I was going to fail some English exam in high school. I'm supposed to have read the same book I haven't finished reading in all the dreams I've had recently. I think it's a non-fiction book, and I've missed a lot of class in the second semester.
I try to call this horrible person I was semi-seeing last year. He changes his number without telling me. I call the old number and get a very angry woman instead. She is mad at this guy too - he used to live as her housemate and has left her suddenly without giving appropriate funds. I am staying in this beautiful mansion. My family are there - and because the house is so large, I don't get to see them much. My mother has booked some sort of compulsory family holiday while I'm supposed to have my English exam which I know I shall fail. It takes me quite some wrangling to get out of going. I find out that my brother is cheating on his wife - he's found a girlfriend. I'm furious. I voice these misgivings with my mother who says that all men are supposed to stray after a while. I say, what, even though his wife is expecting a child? Mum says especially so. I am disgusted with my brother and decide I don't ever want to see him again. I say that I will be out of this mansion as soon as my exams are over. My brother decides I am too degenerate to sleep on this special mattress he paid money for. The mattress is made of foam and is breaking up. I accuse my brother of being a fucking hipster and say fine, I don't want anything to do with you. * * *I'm still in this weird mansion and apparently I have a new boyfriend, a friend I met on Twitter. This apparently helps me decide I want to be with my current real-life partner, who I keep trying to reach via the phone but can't get hold of him. * * * I'm trapped in some weird fairytale setting. and I think I'm an old woman. They are conspiring to kill me. What they don't know is that because I have been bitten several times by this particular snake, I'm now immune to its venom. It ends up killing them instead - that being a man dressed in a beautiful flamenco red dress and a young woman. Then suddenly I'm in Singapore with a bunch of people. One of them stops because she wants to buy Shu Uemura. A man comes up to me to talk to me. He looks like Marc Jacobs. We get shuffled off and I say goodbye to him, marvelling over the Shu Uemura cleansing oil packaging. A cute Asian girl gives me an eyeshadow palette which comes with cute soft toys. * * *
Back to the old woman. I turn these quasi Greek monsters into books. The library gets mad because I don't return them to the library. I'm confused, as I tell them, they weren't books before. I meet another girl who tells me I remind her of a heroine in the Chaos Revelations series. I tell her I will look them up in the library. I do so and am confronted by my old schoolfriend Andrea. She wants to go to another section of the library. I shrug and say fine, do what you want. I find the Chaos Revelations series and there are more than four volumes and they appear to be graphic novel adaptations of Shakespeare's plays. I go to another section of library and begin composing a tune on my flute, and writing variations upon the tune. I introduce T to some people from EMS. Em comes up to me and tells me mean Luke will stay overseas forever and that someone else, either Rob or Felix are coming home early. She thinks I'll be sad and then I say, I'm glad Luke is gone forever, and wager a lot of other people are too.
Thanks to the great team at ideeli!

Last night Amanda and I each ventured into the city from our respective suburban residences to kick off fashion week in style with ideeli and Style Coalition at the W Hotel Tuscany. Midway into the evening (following 30 minutes of lurking near the open bar), it was announced that it was Fashion Trivia Time! While I am somewhat of a fashionista, my fashion trivia skills are lacking. Round after round of questions came and went - all with wrong answers called (ok, yelled) out by myself and my fellow trivia girls. Then, the last question - with Marc Jacobs sunglasses up for grabs - "Where did Proenza Schouler first approach Anna Wintour?" First guess, "The sidewalk!" - wrong! Hmmm, next guess, "On a plane!" - Yes!! Correct!! And so goes the tale of how I won fabulous Marc Jacobs sunglasses from the ideeli team!Many thanks go out to everyone who worked on the event - I can guarantee for sure that at least 2 people had a fantastic time.
