Current mood:just. over.
Current music:some shit.

overworked, overpaid, over-overspending.
well, I haven’t updated this for eons.
well, since november, properly. never prone to hyperbole.
maybe it’s better expressed in pictures than in words?




then again, according to these pictures I have lost about 15 years in age and am a catholic schoolboy (with overdeveloped facial hair) in the ‘total eclipse of the heart’ video.

contrary to the above, I am slogging and blogging at SHOWstudio, I swear. oh and loving every second. it really is wonderful. I’m trying not to gush. I miss marios’, the craziness was great and everyone there was lovely and it felt so fashion, but SHOW is a different rhythm and different environment. and no less fashion, really. just different.

unfortunately I haven’t really been too good at unleashing the full extent of my fairly-extensive wardrobe on my (almost) unsuspecting editor. the willhelm monkey-suit and bottega veneta neon leopard will have to wait. well, at least until fashion week. it’ll be a change from her seeing me dressed as what equates to a john lewis attired st trinians extra, though.

yeah so in november I saw princess superstar. she may have some kind of restraining order or something against me now, as I did insist on talking to her a little too often. and trying to force her to dance with me. and for some reason I gave her a beret. don’t ask.

I have been relatively good so far, purchase wise. all I have bought are a pair of dior glitter-jeans that are ‘unwashable’ (according to the label YEAH), a pair of eggshell-blue mcqueen shoes with each shoe a different size (neither mine) and a 1992 chanel belt with COCO written in 2-inch metallic letters and a logo on the end about as big as my noggin.

oh, and these:

SO SO BEAUTIFUL REALLY.
I have no idea why this picture makes me look like I have gout. never wearing them with white socks again, that’s for sure. even if they did almost get thoroughly ruined at new years

impractical footwear is apparently what 2008 is all about for me. I am hankering after patent dries van noten pumps with a tuxedo bow and navy mcqueen patent winklepickers. and we all assumed what with two jobs I would at least try to claw my way slightly out of debt. pft.

penny, my editrix, keeps threatening to take me for offal at the st. john bar and restaurant. I can cope with lancashire cheese and an eccles cake, but offal is a step too far, even for a child from the north.

happy new year. homos.

love,
Alex.

I have an ex-boy who told me how fabulous this food was...and I hate him, forever..just because of this and nothing else. I think it's reason enough.

The other day I wanted some noodles...and some man tried to convince me that tendon meat would be best in them. I hate him too now.

But your skin looks fabulous and this is all that matters. You're far too beautiful, and for this I love you.

the whole idea of offal is that it's the reject body-parts that can't be used in anything nice. I don't like blanket-terms for food. or food in general, really.

tendon meat sounds wrong. I'm not sure if it's wronger than offal. I suspect they're on a par.

my skin has been airbrushed to buggery. but that's just the way I like it. I refuse to go anywhere without a key light, panstick and adobe photoshop. just like hugh heffner.

love,
Alex.

Yes I agree! Your skin does look fabulous :) Those shoes are amazing as well. You seem to manage to pull off the white socks thing - something that I have tried and failed many times! I gave up.

the skin is easily faked, but the shoes are undeniably great. I am planning to wear them with black socks for london fashion week. if I am a front-row fixture, that is.

the white socks thing scares me - I like white tube socks and underwear, but white socks and clothing seldom looks good.

maybe I just revealed too much?

love,
Alex.

that jacket with the gold looks incredible, simply because of the gold.
i like all things that shine.

i am still hankering after those bloody dior glitter jeans.
i think i may also buy the halter top from s/s 07 (why, i dont know because id certainly and probably never wear it)

it's solid gold lamé. well, not solid gold but as good as. I have owned it since 2005, and have worn it twice. it is a work of wonder though.

I got the glitter jeans for £100 on ebay. and they have been pre-tailored for a short-arse like me. I'm just worried they won't be small enough.

you just want the halter because it's XS and on yoox for practically retail. I went to look at the van assche dior and visibly blanched. although I never realised just how small and tight balenciaga shirts are. stretch poplin is god.

love,
Alex.

Beautiful, beautiful complexion . . .
And offal "ain't" all bad. Start with sweetbreads: they're not easily identifiable (always a plus!) and they really do taste fantastic!
(So glad you're posting again!)

the complexion is courtesy of alistair allan's airbrushing skills, not my scurvy-riddled diet.

sweetbreads remind me of hannibal lecter. didn't he serve something out of benjamin raspail and call them sweetbreads?

I'm not a big fan of meat, so reject meat fills me with dread.

as for the posting, I amtrying, I swear. my new years resolution is to post more. and buy fewer shoes.

love,
Alex.

Sweetbreads are glands of somesort. I forget which ones, but I think it's like the thyroid glands or something awful. tracey emin hangs out in St Johns a lot... but thats not a reason to go there especially when the menu is 97% terrifying.

I love that we constantly found you sitting in uncomfortable positions trying to get your shoes to eye level at NYE. 10 points of effort.
I also love that you've chosen to depict your life through the dirtydirtydancing lens...
this IS the scene to be seen in.

oh my god gross I now have a thyroid fear. although maybe if I ate too many I would increase my metabolism exponentially?

god. maybe that explains why I thought the boy was so tall. and why my luella is smeared with grime. evidently due to the fact I was basically contorting myself into yoghurt positions to showcase the ysl. utterly worth it.

love,
Alex.

I wore one of those Apu hats when I was in Istanbul. They're loads of fun.

And I hate you for having beautiful hair.

haha I don't think you can call them apu hats it's highly politically incorrect.

my hair has been sliced. it got waaaay too long (between my shoulder blades for one period) but now it looks crazy-straight and crazy-shiny every day. and not crazy-greasy.

love,
Alex.

oh, I really don't know - maybe circus? trailertrash is supposed to be good. at least I've been told, although I've never really been. london is kind of burning out. again.

and god I am SO not an insider. even though I'm always inside.

the nicest thing about my pictures is the fact I am pretty much the only person not posing. and looking like a total, utter idiot.

love,
Alex.
