Fashion Punk Rock Fashion Shows Are Bullshit!

Posted by Kelly O on Tue, May 7, 2013 at 3:08 PM

Some quotes to laugh at from last night's “Punk: From Chaos To Couture” fashion show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

“Favorite punk song? Um, it’s kind of hard on the spot. Is Goo Goo Dolls considered punk?” —Kimberly Chandler, trophy wife of NY Knicks’ center, Tyson Chandler

Laughables, right here. Red carpet "punk" over here. Madonna and Miley Cyrus seem to be the only people that even tried, and nobody pulled off a Siouxsie.
For shame.

Fashion / Nightlife / Politics Purse Thursdayz: Margaret

Posted by Radjaw on Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 2:31 PM

During my most recent travels, I was fortunate enough to run into my ol' gal pal, Margaret at a local pub. You may know her as the Iron Lady, the longest serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and only woman to have held that office. To me, she was Margie aka Large n' In-Charge Marge. She was a brilliant woman who thought outside the box and was known for her uncompromising politics and leadership style. She loved Wes Anderson films, playing dominoes, and a good rugby match. Most of our time together was spent photocopying images to make punk-rock style music posters. Sadly, her time came to an end on Monday, suffering from a stroke at the young age of 87. I was lucky enough to look inside her purse before it was too late. Rest in power, sweet Maggie.

Margaret, 87. Leather bag. 10:20am. Zeitgeist Pub, London.

Margaret, 87. Leather bag. 10:20am. Zeitgeist Pub, London.

What kind of bag is that?
Oh heavens.. I haven't the slightest idea. It is darling isn't it, darling?

Yes. Fabulous! How long have you had it?
I've had it since 1983. I bought it as a gift for myself after being re-elected for the third time. I don't normally treasure such spoils, but what was a lady to do?

Do you think a purse is important in fashion?
I highly believe a woman has certain powers that a man cannot resist. My handbag is something I can always have in my hands to remind everyone who we are and what we stand for. Being powerful is like being a lady… if you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

Can we take a look inside?
Well, sure, my dear!

Life / Fashion / 206 Purse Thursdayz: Hannah

Posted by Radjaw on Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 5:29 PM

G. Smith
Hannah, 42. 9:32pm. Hazlewood.

I was happy to see Hannah out at my monthly Ballard gig, The Worst. She had had a few glasses of white wine already and the timing for peeking into her purse was perfect. Hannah has been working in the Seattle music scene for years and is working with SIFF this year doing a "Face the Music" series. Currently, she has been running Hothouse Promotions and has her Seek & Destroy radio show Saturday nights on KEXP. She's got a great show with Lord Dying coming up on April 6th at The Sunset, but before she had a fourth and fifth glass of wine I made her dump her shit on the table next to the DJ booth.

What kind of purse is that?
I don't know... It says it's a Crochet Sak. Seriously, S-A-K, sack.

Where did you get it?
Up at the Goodwill on 65th.

Is it your everyday purse?
Yeah, pretty much. In the summer, I tend to switch it up more for outfits. I'm trying to be better about it. This is a great purse to have because you don't have to worry about someone spilling a drink all over it. The crochet makes it ok!

Let's see what is inside!

• Grey hat
• Leather wallet
• American Spirits
• Notebook

This was so sweet, my grandmother bought me a "reporter notebook" and I keep trying to use it. I opened it up for the Soundgarden show but it was too dark. Once again, had to take notes on the iPhone.

• Random show flyer
• Engraved silver pen
• Horses Cut Shop keychain
• Legal document

If you caught me when I didnt have a boyfriend...

G. Smith
"If you caught me when I didn't have a boyfriend..."

What's that for?!?
Let's just say it's a legal document, ok?

• Eye cream
• Checkbook with therapist notes
• Sunglasses
• Taco Time receipt
• Keys with ZZ Top keychain

Billy Gibbons actually gave me that!! I fucking love it.

Life / Fashion / 206 Purse Thursdayz - Rachel

Posted by Radjaw on Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 1:14 PM

Rachel, 31. Taupe leather purse. 10:03am. Joe Bar.

G. Smith
Rachel, 31. Taupe leather purse. 10:03am. Joe Bar.

This morning, like many other mornings, I found myself with a cup of coffee and a magical crepe at one of my favorite hideaways, Joe Bar. With two lovely ladies working the counter, I hoped I could persuade them to stop what they were doing and dump out their bags. Rachel, a volunteer for NW Film Forum, was glad to open up even though she feared it might be kind of boring. I didn't care and tried my best not to hold up the line. Sorry, Ms. Behindme, you're gonna have to wait 5-10 minutes for your cup o' drip because I have important shit to do!

What kind of purse is that?
It's Chocolat Blu from Nordstrom? I got it like two or three years ago.

You use it everyday?
Pretty much... unless I'm biking that day.

Do you love it?
Well, I got it because it can fit my laptop and I needed it for travel. It's pretty cool because it can also be converted into a backpack.

Yeah!?
Yeah, but sadly I don't have those straps on me.

Bummer. What's in there?

• Hobo International brown wallet
• Always maxi pad
• 2 blue pens
• Fingerless gloves
• Sunglasses
• Keychain with USB and multiple Honda keys

Do you have more than one car?
Actually, no! I have had so many people break-in to my car that I now have a different key for each every keyhole on it!

• Moleskin day planner
• iPod shuffle
• Jane Criedale lipstick
• Nordstrom perfume sample
• 5 quarters
• Mardi Gras mark
• Toothbrush

Fashion / Interview / 206 Purse Thursdayz - Linda

Posted by Radjaw on Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 3:20 PM

Welcome to Purse Thursdayz! Every week, I'll be looking into the purses, bags, and satchels of some of Seattle's finest women—seeing exactly what they are carrying around all day. Catching purses in their natural environment is very important, so these ladies do not know they are going to be interviewed.
Shall we?

Linda, 55. White leather tote. 12:26pm. Lindas HQ.

G. Smith
Linda, 55. White leather tote. 12:26pm. Linda's HQ.

This week, I decided to stop by and see my homegirl, Linda Derschang. You may know her from her many endeavors including Linda's, Oddfellows, King's, Smith, Bait Shop (great design) and the forthcoming neighborhood restaurant, Tallulah's. I'm also pretty sure she owns the Shell gas station, Cal Anderson park, and Bruce Lee's soul. Whatever she is up to, she continues to kill the game. I had to know what she carries around all day.

What kind of purse?
It's Marni. Two months ago, I bought it at the outlet mall outside of Palm Springs. (whispering) I actually bought two.. it was a two for one.

Do you love it?
I do, I really do. I love that nobody would know it's a Marni, no need to scream name brand on the side. I'm more interested in having a bag that I love that also happens to be functional.

Is a bag an integral part of your style?
Absolutely. It can make or break your look. In the evenings, I switch to something much smaller but still carry the bare essentials. I really like purses!

What's your night purse like?
What is most important to me is that it has a long strap. You don't want to be the lady with the big ol' bag on your shoulder hitting people at an event. One hand for my drink, one hand to shake, and I must have my purse low and out of the way.

Sounds like many a years of socializing. Can we see what's inside?

• Apple laptop
• White notepad
• Day planner/address book
• Comme des Garçons wallet
• iPhone
• Checkbook
• Pilot G-2 pen
• Ibuprofen
• Arnica
