- Part 4 of Domino Dollhouse's Urban Mermaid collection is HERE! The collection will be launched sometime today, most likely around 1pm or 2pm PST.
- Agyness Deyn for Dr Martens - those Aggy velvet creepers need to get on my feet like YESTERDAY. They heart satchels are also pretty swoon worthy, too!
- Grenade Coin/Key Case at Patricia Field - I'm so loving this! I'm forever digging in my purse for the necessities and this baby, especially in hot pink, would be the perfect way to spot my keys.
- Francesa Lia Block's recent polyvore sets based on her characters - to be able to see one of my favorite author's outfit ideas for her characters...IS THIS REAL LIFE??
Obligatory Apology: travel mixed with steady business at Domino Dollhouse has kept Chubble Bubble from being updated. The other sad thing: I've worn some cute outfits and NOT ONCE in the last month snapped a photo. I'm very sorry for the neglect and hope to remedy it this month. Until then, here's some treats from around the web!
- This amazing Illan Riviere belly dance performance (via Coilhouse)
- Re/Dress is closing their Brooklyn Location This makes me extraordinarily sad. It is such an amazing space with an amazing vibe, but I wish Deb and the girls the best of luck in the future. I hope to make it to the INDIE+ event for the last party!
- Clare Maguire - "The Shield and the Sword" FASHION.
ALSO: My husband and I are also taking a west coast trip in a few weeks and I'd LOVE some suggestions of what to do in the following cities: Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. We are both city kitties and not too into nature stuff. So let me have it: fabulous shops, eats, sites, whatever! Thanks in advance =)
- 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.
Sorry for week 2 of a clipped Linklettes, but the baby invasion is still happening (and I'm loving it!). I promise to get back to full form after this weekend...and hopefully will come back with TONS of pics! Until then...here are some juicy links from around the web this week.
- Drag U Preview Clip I'm so excited for this season...1. Because I love ANYTHING RuPaul and 2. Because my girl Natasha was a make up artist on the show! Oh yes...that's why we took these portfolio pics!
This week the internet did not disappoint! So many fabulous things are being created, presented, and experienced this week and here is what I deem to be the best of the best.
- Chubstr Chubstr is here! What is it? In their own words: Chubstr is a style destination for men of many sizes. Whether you call yourself chubby, plus size, fat, plump, or nothing at all, it’s not about what you wear, it’s about how it makes you feel. Find clothing that helps you create and display your own personal style. I, for one, love this site and can't wait to see all the Hubba Hubbas work it out!!
- Tribute to McQueen These are a few of my faaaaaaaaavorite things! You cannot go wrong with Ms Guiness and McQueen. Yesterday was also the late Mr McQueen's birthday.
- City Chic Fashion Show at LMFF (via Musings of a Fatshionista) Check out these photographs of City Chic's fashion show from LMFF, including the designs from Damn You Alexis. Most of the garments are trendy, but not earth shattering, but it's worth a look! My favorites are in the images above.
- Milly Darling's Snow White Post Milly shows you how to bring Snow White into your closet and make up kit without looking like you are wearing a costume with her Style Crush post. PRECIOUS!
- Doe Deere Blogazine shared her favorite home inspirations Ever since the idea of buying a home was just a twinkle in my eye, I started collecting images of fabulous homes/apartments/rooms. She highlights some of my favorite images and some new ones in her post of decorating inspirations!
This week has been an odd mix of overly busy and bored to tears waiting...which makes for a confused sleep schedule and sore muscles. It also means inspiration is either FULL ON KICKING or in zilchland. Right now I'm feeling the later. Here are the few links I can muster up on behalf of this Friday's Linklettes post...I'm sorry, chubblettes. I promise to do better next time =)
- Paley Fest '11 True Blood Cat Interviews (Season 4 Tidbits) I'm excited for season 4, because it coincides with my favorite book of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Also: I ALWAYS forget that Jason Stackhouse is really Australian...it's so much cuter than his Louisiana hick accent. Oh haven't you heard? I'm a giant nerd.
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
