Richard Hell, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Hellin Kay

Something about the events over the past few years are awakening the angry punk rocker in me so it will be nice to dive head first into this book, which is a must read. Richard Hell‘s new memoir, “I Dreamed I Was A Very Clean Tramp,” just came out and somehow I missed his talk and signing at Skylight Books last month. They still have signed copies of the book if you’re into that sort of thing, but more importantly I really want to read this book. My pile of books is sky high by my bed right now but I may skip a few and jump right into this one. It looks amazing. Serious punk history. Continue reading →

Sometimes make up just makes me want to paint. There is a reason why they’re called ‘make up artists’ isn’t there? Love these shades, they inspire me. Bobbi Brown lip balm, Stila jewel eye shadow, Dior Cherie Bow addict lipstick, and a Burberry ‘complete’ eye palette. Now go paint your face.

Rectify, Sundance Channel

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Hellin Kay

Rectify-Amantha

During the actual festival at Sundance it is really hard to catch everything you want to see and because I knew I would eventually see (and love!) the Sundance Channel’s new original series Rectify I missed it while in Park City in exchange for catching some of the other hard to find films. That said, I was really excited to get an invitation last week to a roundtable with some of the cast from the show including Abigail Spencer who is a doll and who I’ve Continue reading →

Nikki in Lucky

Nikki Deloach and I did a shoot a few weeks ago, which just went up online at Lucky Magazine. I photographed and styled it, while Allison Noelle did the hair and make up. Her dress is from Novis, our latest obsession and the line Jordana Warmflash launched in 2012. And, the best news… Awkward season 3 starts tonight on MTV at 10pm.

A Moment of Silence

Posted on April 16, 2013 by Hellin Kay

Personal_ (17)

This is not a political blog but all the noise in the world right now is begging for a moment of silence. The world rarely makes sense but some days it’s just easier to understand why. Smile when you can and enjoy your Tuesday lovelies, we are a lucky bunch and the sun is still shining. And to anyone who can’t smile today, we send you light and love all around the world.

Empire of The Sun, New Track, New Album

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Hellin Kay

Empire of the sun

This is the first Monday morning in a lot of years that I am not waking up from a fabulous musical hangover thanks to Coachella. It is sad. But this new track from Empire of The Sun is making up for it a little. The Australian electro-pop duo has a new LP, Ice on the Dune, out in June via Astralwerks. Swoon… Listen to the track “Alive” here and check out the trailer below. Continue reading →

Love this new line of bags by DC-born and NY-based designer Gelareh Mizrahi, especially the clutch below. It’s a lot of snakes and skins and even a python skateboard, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. We suggested a bike should be next… Continue reading →

H&M Loves Music, Coachella Party

Posted on April 14, 2013 by Hellin Kay

I love the photo my friend Megan Duffy took yesterday of the field we were on for the H&M Loves Music Coachella event at the Merv Griffin Estate in La Quinta. It reminds me of the Georges Seurat painting below, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Megan nailed it without even realizing it, now that is cool. Below more photos from the party, which was really fun. Santigold, who I LOVE, performed a ton of songs from her new album and her first album which has been out for years now but the songs still sound as fresh and killer as ever. We ran into a ton of friends including my favorite DJ, Michelle Pesce. Thanks H&M for a great day! And thanks Megan for driving us home… Continue reading →
