…helter skelter… (Confessions, moment of vanity)
Babooshka cardigan, F21 shirt from Ev’Yan, F21 jeans, DRKGMTRY Helter Skelter necklace
Sometimes, I wish I had a studio and a model. Photographing stuff would be SO much easier. For now, I leave you with a brief preview of the new-new.
This particular necklace is named for the Beatles song that was playing in the background while I was finishing up the mechanics of the design.
Helter Skelter mashed up with 2001: A Space Odyssey
It’s a matter of synchronicity that the Charles Manson docudrama showed on the History Channel the next day. I’ve always been drawn to his story. Something about the Beatles spurring him to start a cataclysmic race riot by murdering middle-class whites with the help of 20-year-olds hopped up on speed is entrancing. Given the events of the day, I’m often left wondering if Roman Polanski would have been a different person had his wife not been one of the Manson Family’s victims. That crime scene was truly HORRIFYING.
Morbid LA peeps: there are a bunch of people that go to El Coyote every August 8th and perform a Last Supper ritual. If you can get a table that night, you’re bound to see some wild and possibly disturbing stuff.

You need: a tripod & a remote. It’ll make it so much easier for you take pictures.

Thank you!
i’ve always been interested in charles manson as well…especially his interviews. really strangely intriguing. idk.
and then there was this book i read that kept mentioning him….it was so good.
anyway, i love your blog despite it’s not-so-in-your face fashion stuff. actually i think that’s why i’ve followed your blog for so long. i can’t stand all the posh suck up to designer jibber jabber. Why can’t some people admit that sometimes even Chanel is kind of off ??? not everything is always right. and things can cost virtually nothing and look like a million bucks if you have the right swagger. but you already know this, i’m sure.
oh and if you don’t know who i am, i’m from first response but yeah, i deleted it and when back to my non-nickname (artist formerly known as charles).
<3
