New Lover!

I have a major soft spot for Lover (as does Megan, who's probably e-stalking several of their frilly little blouses as we speak) so I was super excited to see that their S/S '09 lookbook has finally popped up on their website. As usual, it's a mix of boy-meets-girl meets Picnic at Hanging Rock meets Joseph Szabo meets Sissy Spacek in Badlands. I can't wait to try on a pair of those cropped trousers (the denim ones are oddly appealing) and I imagine that everyone with a name starting with "L" is freaking out over that adorable Christiane F-esq baseball jacket. Cuteness!

Scream Queen

A couple of years a go I discovered Marlene McCarty's eerily precise (and just downright eerie) portraits of real-life teenage girls who have murdered their parents. Most of these crimes were provoked by the parents' disapproval of their daughter's boyfriend. So, to all the teenage Cat Party readers out there: if your parents don't like your boyfriend, murdering them will not solve your problems! However, you may be immortalized in a Marlene McCarty drawing, which could be cool. Not to put any ideas in your head.



Recently McCarty has focused her pen on a decidedly less homicidal subject, Anja Rubik, who is depicted wearing Rodarte in a series of portraits commissioned by the Visionaire Gallery. She used only graphite and a ball point pen to create these---my mind is thoroughly blown.
