SHOESday: Glamrocking

Am I wrong to think that these Balenciagas have a defo Motley Crue vibe?

SINday: The Fall of Romulus

I'm so glad that Star Trek uniforms are finally making it to the fashion mainstream. Folks at Balmain and Alexander McQueen or Derercuny all agree: Romulan chic is where it's at.

HUSH VERONICA # 5: Tight! White! Jeans!

I always thought if Liberace made softcore porn he'd have made Pink
Narcissus. Directed by James Bidgood in 1971,the film languidly explores the fantasies of a doe-eyed teen hustler reposing in his cramped bedroom". I don't remember the extent of the fantasies because I haven't seen the film in a while but here is the beautiful Bobby Kendall [Ken doll?] rolling around in white gogo boots and tighty whities.






The film explodes with kitsch: peacock feathers, pink roccoco bedrooms full of gold gilt [I swear I saw some heart-shaped 3-d glasses in there], difficult to identify fluffy & filmy things, white leather, the tightest white jeans ever made, butterflies, so called orientalism, bejeweled telephones, endless mirrors, satiny toreadors bullfighting with motorcycles, leather boys [the black leather variety], sappy music, lovelorn hornyness, Bobby in just pearls, Nijinsky references [!], good old-fashioned street meat sleeze and some sloooooooooooow stripping.

American Apparel is like this film's muppet baby. Bite me American Apparel
and then bite Bobby Kendall's bum.

SINday: The lives of the Amapies

Do you ever wonder what the lives of American Apparel models must be like? I'm pretty sure it looks something like this:

Or maybe its just like this:

CHEAP FRIDAYS:It's a French shoe thing I guess...

I was looking for stills from La Maitresse (1976) by Barbet Schroeder, about a burglar who stumbles upon a dominatrix's lair in Paris and falls for her, with Bulle Ogier and Gerard Depardieu. I love this film not so much for Ogier's dominatrix costumes but for her chic off-duty outfits. Tailored pants, not too tight, not too loose, a little blouse, a very subdued palette, expensive sunglasses, and then glimpses of the sexiest short high-heeled boots. If you can find this film, watch it. I can't find any stills I like but here is Bulle looking lovely...

And I did find this... La Salamandre (1971) by Alain Tanner, with Bulle Ogier again, but as a shoe salesgirl, it looks ridiculously charming. I used to work in a shoe store, I never tried this technique...
