HAUTE CHICKS & THEIR STITS

A couple of weeks ago I took to Twitter to lament the loss of hipster credentials, here’s the back-story.

On the flight to Brisvegas (for the launch of my Jean Brown window), Imelda was jammin’ to the in-flight radio broadcast when suddenly mah eardrums were introduced to the musical hauteness that is Florence and the Machine.

WOW! me thinks, as I frantically check the in-flight guide to find out who or what Florence and the Machine are and wondering whether the entire album sounded like Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up).

Returning home (from the sunshine state) with my hipster credentials in the crapper, I made haste to da information super highway whereby I discovered (and subsequently made best friends with) Lungs.

Then this morning while Yum Yum scrubbed down my plant-a-warts (and Imelda tried to re-acquaint herself with all things hipster by watching indie video clips) I caught sight of the ‘Drumming Song’.

Although I slid out of my petty pants with excitement Imelda now felt like the Queen of the Luddites, because not only had I not realized the Drumming Song was a single but I had no idea there was a video clip with a killer Raphael Young shoe cameo.

 

The ‘Drumming Song’ has become somewhat an anthem (in the Palace of Despotism), the seductive tribal drum beats are ideal for clubbing Yum Yum or a round of interruptive transcendental liturgical dance, or on a good ‘luude day, interpretive liturgical clubbing.

With the walls pounding (to the Drumming Song) I spun around, my fists clenched, but Yum Yum had already ducked and rolled.

Anyhoo…I’m kind of hoping that I’m not the last person in the world to catch on to Florence and the Machine and that the Drumming Song inspires you to beat your indentured house serfs into a coma.

It’s been a morning of surprises; while I was trawling FF I stumbled across these pictures of Daphne Guinness (and Amanda Lepore) werqin’ Alexander McQueen's S/S10 stits.

I’ve long thought (and been told) Guinness is the physical manifestation of the Despotic Queen and her because of her ability to werq only the fiercest stits Guinness has earned a high-ranking five star commission in the Order of Imelda.

For sometime I’ve been meaning to gush about Guinness (and her zealot-like commitment to giving good shoe) but people the at The Cu(n)t have beaten me it to it with this great POST…but they don’t offer a set complementary of steak knives, do they?

Daphne, welcome my Imeldettes have a lot to learn and your complementary steak knives are in the mail.

My hipster cred has been in the crapper for years. Pathetic! I need a few liturgical knocks to get back on track.

I wish Daphne would fall and break her hip.

she has actually managed to make Amanda Lepore look under-dressed.

did you see the styling credits to that lady gaga video on nicola formichetti's blog? it's a satisfying list. i'm not linking, god knows what kind of commenting rules i'm breaking already!

I adore Daphne! She's such an icon. I have boundless respect for anyone with that much dedication to vertiginous, impractical shoes.
