C$tg X @djtomoko n Ucca-Laugh



Recently friends @djtomoko n Ucca-Laugh of Tokyo visited NYC and shot their video for their new single "Do the Right Thing." Their original location was outdoors and since it was raining they shot in my studio!  We had so much fun playing in (my) clothes as you can see.  I hope this makes you smile and laugh as much as we did! Enjoy!


Until then,

Now At the Corcoran Gallery in DC

Me and my childhood best friend checking out HWT work

Cheese! At the opening for 30 Americans

Hey everyone in MD and DC!  If you get a chance head to the Corcoran Gallery in DC.  There's an awesome exhibit going on until Feburary 12, 2012 called 30 Americans.  I worked with artist Hank Willis Thomas and did costuming for some of the images featured in the exhibit (the one above + a few more).  The work of a lot of really great artists is featured in the show (to name a few: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Nick Cave, David Hammons, Kara Walker and Gary Simmons).  Go check it out!

6 months off...Sort of

I took an unplanned six months off from blogging I simply got too wrapped up in my personal life and work to blog.  I'm back and ready to share again...to start here's six awesome things that happened in the last six months...

1. I went to LA for the first time and styled a series of web commercials for SYFY



2. I spent my summer as assistant costume designer on a movie called Robot & Frank- scheduled to release next year.

3. I styled mannequins on a Target commercial with a famous guest designer...you'll see :)



4. I worked on a kids show called Team Umizoomi on Nick Jr. and they put me (and my headwrap) in the show.  Episode will be showing next summer!



5. I saw Prince perform for the first time at the Forum in Inglewood y'all (Thanks for the photo RJ!)


6. I went to Phoenix, Arizona and saw the desert for the first time!

X-Mas in the Bahamas




 I'm wearing...vintage glasses, 
cut off denim shorts, 
H&M sparkly tee,
Forever 21 bangle,
my favorite striped vintage blazer 
and DVF jelly sandals
 
Sorry I've been MIA I was on vacation! Don't get too jealous, it was coooooooold in the Bahamas. Me and two my bff's rented mopeds and rode around the island, I highly recommend it. It was windy and I was a little nervous about driving by myself but I rode like a block and turned around. Twice. Maybe I'll buy one to zip around NYC on.

Until then,
