I Usually Hate the Whole Goth-y New York Thing...

Buuuuut, I just looked at Kimberly Ovitz's FW2010 collection and I got to say that she has done it right.  Cute, chic, unique draping.. a little boho, a little tailored, && some stripes + hoods thrown in for good measure.  Plus, it looks as though her cuts are forgiving on the body unlike a lot of similar NYC designers (offenders A, B, and C).

(Don't mind those 90's Matrix style glasses, plz)

On a related note, I just discovered that the goth style in NYC vs LA is much much MUCH different.  While the New Yorkers do a minimalist goth, I find that people in LA tend to do what I like to call "rockstar goth" - that is, lots of trinkets, hair dyed black, a bit of makeup (on dudes, namely), etc etc.  Am I right with this here?

There are, however, always exceptions. But Odilon is a post for another day.

SXSW 2010 ::: Jam Sessions

On Saturday Fmly originally had planned to do some guerilla style shows all along the river/GAZEBO, but seeing as how it was so fucking cold that day, it turned more into some fun little jam sessions punctuated with trips to the coffee shop around the corner to warm up, drink large hot beverages, and use the bathroom.  Here we got some Truman Peyote action with Eric Farber doing us a little diddy followed by Henry Crawford of Bad Teeth on the next vid. PS. I'm in love with Henry's voice.  For real. Skip to 1:08.  Thank me later.

**UPDATE**

Just realized that Mr. Farber here is moving at the speed of light.  Kind of makes it even cooler though, no? Ima keep it that way.  You can thank me later for that, too.
