Super tired of the rain...it's not doing anybody any favors!

Terry Jones

Old i-D magazine is where it's AT!
This is a good interview with the editor Terry Jones. Check it.

One of a kind

This is it I have found my favorite look for my nails--ONE WHITE ONE. Prfct.

InSENSE

Yo we found the perfect incense for Kokorokoko "African American Heritage Series : Fashion and Style" from Gonesh...wha!!!!!!!

Back End

This two vehicles are pretty much opposites...but both of them have something dreadfully wrong with their back ends (yes that IS a hot tub and YES that is Saran wrap!)

Judy Blame

What a name. And what a person! I am really loving his style right now. Read more here and here.

Alex Noble A++

Dude. This guy makes great artwork. Totally awesome. He has a website but I prefer HIS BLOG...and I think you will too.

Matching the flowers--it's just what I do

Well it's happened again!

Style Blog--When in Doubt: Brass Knuckles

The pattern on this coat includes brass knuckles. What!

I have a new horse. His name is Prince and I love him. I found him at Stop Look! on Western. He has been very loved by someone before me who wrote all over his body in pencil which looks great and brushed his hair which is most beautiful platinum. This is how big he is:

Moto

I want a motorcycle. I want this one I think. And I want to race this man.

End of Analog

So I recently attended a show at the Roots and Culture Gallery called The End of Analog. Last week phone books were delivered, many businesses just left them on the ground and then it rained. It's pretty ugly and sad because who the F uses the phone book anymore? If I were in the show this would be my artwork. Shot on my cell phone.

Dancin' Shoes

Sexshe

Um ok so I'm trying to buy hairclips, which takes you to some pretty trashy sites, but why when I click on a link called "sexy scarves" on this site THIS PICTURE comes up. What the. Scary, not sexy.

Tat2

Ok so I really love G.G. Allin's tattoos. They are just great. I plan to get some similar looking ones in about 20 years. I particularly like the grave stone and the lizard on his arm. Nice one. Also I did not realize his birth name is Kevin Michael Jesus Christ Allin. wtf?

Like Totally Awesome

This dude's Flickr is just a GUSHING RIVER of inspiration!!!

Watchout!

Guess the business part 3

This business is in Pilsen. What the? Not sure what is going on here with this collection of items, but if you think you know please comment!!

Post Apocalypse

I helped out with wardrobe for a test shoot with Ross F and the amazing prop styling of Angela Finney
Here is a pic from my cell phone. Insane!!!

Style Blog--Keep it in yr hat!

Not sure what these are--cigars? hot dogs? Any guesses?

Corn in a cup!

A fine selection

Went to Deivn's for a party the other night. There was fine selection of beverages but I was perplexed by the food offered--Snickers with a knife, grapefruit.

Sign Blog!!--Please Please Please

...Just TRY!

Good Gravy!

God, I knew that Crystal was a popular adjective for band titles but this one takes the (a-hem) gravy.
Gross, yo.

Bacci Pizza

Bacci Pizza is the BIGGEST slice in the world. Thanks god too, cause we be hungovah w/out it!!!

Who thought this was a good idea??

Danger! Danger! Falling boombox!!

Mark Dal Pra [my friend AND personal carpenter]

Mark has been busy building the Kokorokoko fixtures which look great--but I feel bad keeping him away from his artwork which are these amazing deer! They move along a slot-car-like track that is electrified. Mark built it all out of wood and carved these beautiful delicate deer that are surprisingly realistic looking when running. What a dream!!

Occult

Kristen and I went to the Occult bookstore the other day. I am not really into READING as many of you know, but they do have a lot of cool stuff to look at...rare manuscripts, dope jewelry made of bones and a really nice dude wearing a skirt who works there. Their website make the place look a lot more spooky that it actually is check it owwwww.

Sign Blog--Where Phelps At?!

I think this place is closed. Possibly due to it's most famous customer...

Yeah it's cold

I saw this car buried in ice on the way home last night. Damn!

Sign Blog--Inspired by Prince

I like that the way that texting has caused us all to spell like Prince. This store is right next to the "99 Problems" store. I think it is an "adult" store. Speaking of adult stores--check THIS ONE OUT!!!

Style Blog--Lace it up!

Thank you Carolyn for taking this amazing picture of an employee at Mood Fabrics in NYC. He looks like a wise old...acrobat? Not sure, but it's working!

The Flower Place Inc.

There are some AMAZING flower headdresses on this website. I found this photo when googling "Dr. Zhivago". I did not even know that these types of floral freakouts existed! Scroll down to see one-woman parade floats in movie themes. Whaaaaa?

People Are Still Having Sex

Ok I really love this song. And I really love the video, (which I never saw until just now because I never had cable) it is a great mix of late 80s analog video filters/effects, stop motion animation, and early computer animation. Mix it up La Tour!

All of New York is wrapped up in being Labeija

Whilst searching the interweb for inspirational photos I found some great ones on a blog called "Can We Be Frank" of amazing events and fabulous people. Thank you for sharing!!

One Crazy Bitch

Thanks Joseph for making me watch Little Britain on your iphone while I was driving--it was totally worth risking my life for. One of the funniest sketches of all time. Click for youtube link.

So congratulations to Anna Wallack who won the last "guess the business" contest. It was in fact an exterminator. Here is another one from just down the street from my home on Chicago Ave. What is it? Why is it!

GAME ON!

Kokorokoko the store is opening soon at 1112 N. Ashland here is lovely Chicago, IL
Please check the new KOKOROKOKO BLOG for info, events and photos.
Hope to see you there!!

Bon Jour! New Haircut!

Sign blog--SO ELEGANT!

Sign Blog--99 Problems

Ok so I stopped to take a photo of this "Health Club" sign that is carved out of wood--the antithesis of a place like Crunch or Ballys...when I saw THIS sign next door! The business is called "4 Shizzle" I guess it's a night club by the sound of this blog (with another amazing pic of the place). Amazing.

I can hear laughing...

The other day Brittany and I went to pick up some mannequins from a business called "MS Baubles" now...is that "M.S." or "Ms." as in MS MEANS MYSELF! We don't know! Anyway, after scoring several mannequins, we treated ourselves to a shopping spree at Hot Topic where we got amazing striped hair extensions, then we ate at taco bell where the hot zauce had some pretty existential shit written on it. Example: "Help! I can't tell where I am. It's dark and I can hear laughing". If you do not believe me I can show you this "border sauce" packet in person--it is perplexing...

Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft

This is my favorite record right now. DAF IS SO GOOD. Feel it.
Look at their site!!!!

D&D

I put some new pictures on my website from way back in '02
Check it!!

Display them

So all over Chicago there are these store fronts that have huge display areas in the front, which I assume were once used for the original business which had large merchandise or mannequins or whatever but the new businesses don't need that space so they fill it with random, freaky shit. This one did a pretty good job. Try to guess what kind of business this is, the winner gets a prize. (Not from the store, from me)
...more to come!

Amazing Picture of Ross Kelly--Net Face!

So I haven't posted many of these recently--but lucky for us Ross is still into making himself look like a fool for the benefit of others, check it owww!

Cut it out!

This is an effective sign!! Nice work guys. I know what you do...but how much are they? $7? That's a little steep, no?

Freakin me owwwwww

Yo Zach sent me THIS. Also if you like being freaked out look at this most amazing website!!

Sexy Shuffle

Yes. I love it. I found this on the ground the other day. I have on other one I found on the ground like 10 years ago that is so disturbing--low angle bleach blond red taloned muscle babe. This one is really hot though--Waterfalls R Sexy.
