i smoke clove cigarettes, and burn a Diptyque pomander candle - orange peels spiral down into the sea of spicy cloves, with a whole lotta fresh cinnamon, as sea horses, and starfish. just the right scent for a cold winter night

tutý

my friend Jan Semerád from the czech republic sent me a little something today - one of his lovely drawings, titled tutý, also my very first piece of art, i have tried it in different frames and the best is to bowtie it!

today's secret word is....

pee wee! kim always says me the asian pee wee. so i went to brooks brothers and bought meself a little strippy bow tie.

polaroids are so awesome 01

holden仔!

green

me like things green. olives. jadite coffee mugs. kermit the frog. even those mischievous evil gremlin mogwais. not to mention, shoes.

last season, The Original Car Shoe had these suede mocassins in bosco color. to die for.

my collection - vintage gucci wingtip slipons from Ina; the other two pairs of loafers are from paul smith. one with faggish tassels!

these ones from Barker Black in nolita are so exquisitely expensive. so cant afford.

"having adventures is why i am a photographer"

ryan mcginley said so in i-D magazine not long ago. and here, my new murse from paul smith

and oh, it comes in a tote also, loves

callum turner as stephen tennant

remember 小CALLUM holding a we could grow up together sign from the backstage of costume national last year?

he's on the feb issue of POPEYE magazine from japan. an issue that gives me a buttload of chills and thrills. i actually screamed reading it.

an insufferably romantic editorial entitled boy at heart by stylist tomoki sukezane and photographer junji hata, that very much reminds me of stephen tennant, the ultimate dandy that never got outta bed

my other current reading - SERIOUS PLEASURE : THE LIFE OF STEPHEN TENNANT by philip hoare

tuxedo shirt studs

american whalers began hunting whales out of the new world as early as the 1700's. to pass their idle hours, they began making articles, both practical and frivolous, out of the bones and teeth of the whales they caught. cribbage, dominoes, corset stays, hatboxes, canes, jewelry, anything imaginative, you just name it. with their sailors' needles or knives, they carved simple or sometimes elaborate pictures in the whales teeth, rubbing lamp black from the top of their oil lanterns into the carved lines to highlight the pictures. this is the folk art of scrimshaw. these are solid brass, gold plated TUXEDO SHIRT STUDS. the nautical scenes drawing by brian kiracofe.

tokyo polaroid diary

triple valrhona chocolate doughnut and organic coffee from NEW YORK CITY DOUGHNUT PLANT for breakfast, just a little reminiscence from the big apple. japan's GAP comes up with their own designs, their jeans are on sale, and rad, 80's carrot cut and the boyfriend jeans are my faves, oh, and their flannel western shirts too, come in extra small. i bought three jackets: 1 / dove gray flannel dinner jacket from COMME CA COMMUNE. 2 / red and black plaids limited edition FIDELITY peacoat. 3 / FREAK'S STORE tweed shrunken blazer. a night out and lotta dancing at THE WOMB. love how starbucks stays open till the middle of the night and everytime you order a soy latte, they give you this green magnet thingy which you use to get your latte at the bar, i don't grasp the concept of it.
