Friday, December 12th, 2008Every year, the Nemo girls (a.k.a. shemo) try to outdo the boys at our holiday party. This year we decided to make a calendar featuring our careers post-Nemo.

Week in Pictures: 12.5.08
Friday, December 5th, 2008My dad is a salesman for 3M and distributes prescription safety eyewear. Sometimes, he’ll find ancient relics in doctor’s offices. These were a recent score and the odd center nosepiece reads ALL AMERICAN. Hmmm….I’m assuming that these were special safety glasses of some sort?

Monday, December 1st, 2008What I wore:
Sweater dress, Twelve by Twelve
Tights, Forever 21
Boots, Harley (with custom treads)
Watch, Nixon
Purse, Miu Miu
I think this sweater dress has a medieval knight’s armor vibe mixed with 60s futuristic fashion (like Rudi Gernreich). Since the weather has been cold and rainy, I’ve been leaving my nice shoes at home and wearing these customized Harley boots with […]
Wayward Wife Poster
Monday, December 1st, 2008A few months ago, I was invited to participate in a group show at Sequential Art Gallery.
