Sorry for the lull in some of weekly posts (linklettes, product rodeo, etc)! Hopefully things will be getting back to normal now that my traveling + guests are done for a few months. So, here are the linklettes for the week!
- Raja "Diamond Crown Queen" Video The song is rather EH, but the visuals are queen-tastic!
- ASDAH Educational Conference 2011 Interested in HAES (Health At Every Size)? Live in and/or have access to So-Cal events? Then check out this conference! Early registration ends tomorrow, so hop to it!
- Weird Al's "Perform This Way" You know you've made it when Al gives you a make-over! All the proceeds from this song's purchase go to the Human Rights campaign!!
- Photos from last weekend's Body Positive Beach Meet Up It was amazing to see and meet these women...especially Jessica who gave us a lil' tour of downtown San Diego. Also: I apologize to all the ladies that had to deal with Aaron and my smart-ass mouths =)
- The upcoming Muppet Movie Miss Piggy is a plus size fashion editor for Vogue Paris AND it's Jason Segel? GREATEST MOVIE EVER.
- Frankie Sin's Burlesque Debut I could not be prouder of my wife! Her first performance of burlesque was amazing, adorable and she looked totally amazing!! Also: prepping for it by deliriously walking around Michael's holding things up to our bosoms was one of the funnest outings we've ever had.
- Blade Runner Polaroids An amazing glimpse into Blade Runner, via Sean Young's odd website
- Gilt's Lady Gaga themed shoot...behind the scenes Pierced gents in frocks...spikey glasses...amazing. Her new album has fueled my work week.
This week's Linklettes is VERY video heavy but for good reason...so much deliciousness. Also: I'm always interested in new and interesting things for this feature so if you have a blog, a store, or some other creative endeavour you think needs to be a linklette, send us an email at chubblebubble (at) gmail dot com.
Lady Gaga's Born This Way Video My favorite elements are: the butch, pink-ponied Skelly-gaga - the sci-fi mother queen - HER PAMELA LOVE EARRINGS - probably more things, but it's SUCH a whirlwind that I need more time to process =)
Lane Bryant's Fashion Show Sneak Preview This, in a nutshell: Ashley Graham in lots of lingerie...including a Gaga-esque studded bra/panty and a studded moto jacket. Also: candy-dyed poodles!! Well done, LB!

Deerhoof's "Super Duper Rescue Heads!" Video So incredibly cute and I want to scream "ME TO THE RESCUE!!"
∆AIMON's new video for EXU REI ∆AIMON are not only amazing muscians, but I have the pleasure of calling them friends. Their album AMEN is available on iTunes and is a MUST HAVE.
Time for a fresh, new segment on Chubble Bubble: LINKLETTES! Okay, it's not an idea that reinvents the wheel. But, I've been trying to tap into more creative energies now that I am solely responsible for designing pieces for Domino Dollhouse. After an invigorating chat with my gal Frankie, I definitely wanted to follow suite with her blog and create weekly posts cultivating things that week that have tickled my fancy. I'm hoping that this will serve as a spark to my creative juices whenever I'm feeling stumped...and I sincerely hope that it entertains my chubblettes in the process!
- Betsey Johnson's Fall 2011Runway show (click that link to watch the show). My favorite elements were the lace print wigs, mesh print fabrics, the 2nd half's employee model explosion (chubby girls and gay boys make everything better), the floral printed combat boots (particularly the turquoise pair), and the Betsey/Patricia Field dance party explosion at the end. Blogger Gala Darling had the pleasure of hanging out and walking in the show...click that link so see her delicious, picture-filled post.
- The event Plus London's Tumblr. Lauren of Pocket Rocket organized this amazing fatshion blogger meet up. Their Tumblr is full of fun images and links about the events and the bloggers included.
- Lady Gaga's Grammy performance. I was crazy about her pony tail and her absurd egg. I'm a huge fan of Mugler, Sci-Fi, and latex so I was in heaven. Many will shit-talk her over the top performances and "stunts", but the theatrics and artistic ridiculousness are frankly the ONLY reason I watched the Grammys at all. If the mainstream is over it, the freaks will take her with open arms. Also: see her stylist's blog for more in-depth outfit pictures and details.
- Sopes and Potato Tacos from El Camino Real. So, growing up in white-ass Cincinnati, Ohio, I know VERY little about Mexican Food. Actually, up until recently, I knew very little about food that didn't involve pizza or pasta. My switch to Vegetarian life required me to expand my palate, so now I have Indian food, Ramen, and Mexican food under my belt. Long story short: Frankie took me here and now I dream of eating these.
- Jeremy Scott Fall 2011. Favorite elements: Super hero sequin dresses (complete with capes), furry mary janes, candy colored leather minis, skull sweaters, neon faux fur stoles, and the see-thru moto jackets. If you want to see some great behind the scenes shots, check here.
- Teer Wayde blogsabout her gorgeous Dita Cardigan from Wheels and Dollbaby complete with pics of her insanely hot self.
- Lush's Trichomania Solid Shampoo. Dubious about solid shampoos, I only tried this gem because I received a sample in my last lush order. It was conditioning and HIGHLY thorough at cleaning, but my hair felt sensational.
- This picture from the Glamourai. The jacket, glasses and ring...SWOOOOON.
And the best for last: Beth Ditto's brand new video I Wrote the Book from her solo EP

"Leather and Jeans. Garage glamorous." - Lady Gaga "Paparazzi"
When I hear those lyrics, it always sends outfits swimming in my head. Here's me putting a look on paper...er, blog! What would be YOUR garage glam look??
Lady Gaga videos have become notorious for their avant guard content and cutting edge fashions. They are THE place to go for high fashion pieces, custom couture, and interesting applications of stripper gear. The newly released "Telephone" featuring Beyonce does not disappoint. There's no doubt that there's inspiration enough for everyone!
Points of interest: Faux phones as accessories, studs + leather, black/white stripes, and Americana
