Blood is the New Black

T-shirts to me, remain the undefeated champion, all-around necessity piece of clothing that almost everyone in the world probably owns. So with the amount of Tees that are available on the internet, the selection and variety is overwhelming. Then once in a blue moon, along comes a collective that melds fashion and function into a startling personality piece, capable of sharing body-space with that great jacket you just splurged your rent on, or the pair of shoes that cost an arm and a leg, etc. Blood is the New Black is a great site filled with tees from a myriad of independent artists and designers. Just remember, if your motto has always been comfort over fashion, now you can have both.

Gothic Architecture
Not many Goths I know, circuit the scene of the architectural world, let alone win multiple awards and accolades for their genius. When I discovered Odile Decq, I got an immediately warm and fuzzy feeling inside. The Parisian-Breton-based architect has not only won numerous awards, but holds highly esteemed titles such as Commander of the Order of the Arts and Letters, and Knight of the Legion of Honor, establishing her as a "star architect" that celebrates a career spanning 30+ years. Recent projects include a new expansion of MACRO (Modern Contemporary Arts Museum in Rome), with a private preview of the developments held on May 27th., 2010. Her images reveal a vision of pale-makeup and a child-like smile, huge, teased black hair, black eyeliner, and dark lips -falling somewhere between Siouxsie Sioux, and Mrs. Fiend, and every bit as charming and amazing as her masterful works. I know it's not really looks that count, but it's nice to see someone who defies the constraints of typecasting and stereotypes..Oh yeah, and check out her cool moleskine notebook too.

Allure
I currently don't have any tattoos and probably never will, due to skin complications that could or could not be potentially scarring to me. (I made the decision to avoid the risk and not find out) But I can always live vicariously through beautiful images such as these. Done correctly, tattoos can enhance the body in mesmerizing ways, where the placement of the piece that just fits the curvature of the particular area is perfection, where the body comes more alive -a canvas of soulful energy and ethereal beauty. Similar to clothing, but more permanent... There is a difference with well done tattoos vs. bad...and no amount of cover-up will enhance what should never have been in the first place...a personal ritual of the Self, a passage into the night of transformed being -the art of body enhancement is something to be mastered and not taken lightly. You've only got one skin, so make the most of it.
