“Hey haaay…

Just wanted to send a quick pic of some scriffiti from Harlem NYC!

What is this picture about?

WELL, starting when I was fourteen years old, EVERY mfing day I had to take this horrible train to the 125th st stop, wait for my delusional pop to pick me up while a woman with a cheetah coat and pleather pants nodded off at the expense of MY SHOULDER at 6 o’clock in the morning.

Right before I left the station, I would have to go through these doors, which would basically sum up my entire experience in a word every single DAY.

Us New Yorkers are resilient!

Take it easy!!!

Whoa.   If you have graffiti to share, send it over to faran@nylonmag.com

See, black lipstick can work. Although it’s easier if you look like a punk rock Clara Bow and play in a band.

No. Not really.

We bumped into Harley Viera Newton last week, and remembered a sad fact:

Not all girls can wear all clothes.

Witness the blue Luella Bartley skirt Harley’s rocking, which straddles the line between rock festival and Little House on the Prairie.

We’ve wanted it – and it’s corresponding dress – for almost a year.

And yet, whenever we get our hands on it, it just doesn’t fit.  It looks like a floral parachute on acid.

So Harley, we salute you.

And if you think you could rock this Luella skirt as well as our resident DJ, check it out on Net-a-Porter.

It’s on sale, after all.

Check out Longchamp’s latest bag, at left, a cool canvas tote that says “This Is An It Bag” in French… okay, in Frenglish.  It reminds me of Anya Hindmarch’s “I Am Not a Plastic Bag” from 2007, but slightly more modern.  Cool, oui?

True story:

After I saw the excellent movie Milk, I changed my Facebook message to “Anita Sucks” and kept it there for a week.

The phrase refers to Florida bigot Anita Bryant, who was once an actress in TV commercials but somehow decided circa 1970 that her true calling was to run around America, proclaiming everyone was going to hell unless they were white, Christian, and fans of her various television shows.

ANITA SUCKS t-shirts popped up all over California and New York, and they were shown prominently in the movie.

Now you can actually buy them - we found the link here.

Bonus points if you get it signed by Sean Penn.
