i totally want that shirt! so rad.

and in our honesty, together we will rise. out of our nightminds and into the light at the end of the fight...

if anyone is nyc I've been shopping at the Marc Jacobs Accessories store for years. Its this tiny store in the village near his actual store and it sells all of his shirts like this plus tote bags, umbrellas, shoes

I remember during the thick of the Bush Adminstration he had shirts with "Where is the Outrage?"

because buying a $700 bag seems like the most insane thing you can do, but Marc Jacobs deserves every dime I pay for his stuff.

He's an activist in the fashion industry, which seems like a deathtrap nowadays but I'm glad he's doing it.

and yes, I'll totally buy his shirts. Especially the Beth Ditto one, would love to walk around with that one on me.

Ok, totatlly out of the point, but am I the only one who's a little creeped by how similiar Jacobs and his partner look, they look like they're almost related! Im not judging or anything, its just took me by suprise.

and his cancer awarness campaign, here is how they think of him in the Middle East:

Man Jailed in Dubai for wearing Marc Jacobs T-shirt

July 26, 2009 

A Lebanese man visiting Dubai was jailed after wearing a Marc Jacobs T-shirt, reports The Telegraph. Dubai, known for its flourishing shopping scene, wasn't so much dismayed by the designer label, but what was on the tee -- Victoria Beckham, naked.

Raffi Nernekian's T-shirt was one in series that Jacobs designed in 2008 for a cancer awareness campaign. (Proceeds benefitted the NYU School of Medicine Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group.) Nernekian's shirt displayed Beckham, nude, with the words "Protect the skin you're in" covering her naughty bits.

According to the article, Nernekian was confronted by a Dubai resident at a local bakery; when Nernekian changed and returned to the establishment, the police were waiting for him. He was sentenced to one month in prison and will be deported from Dubai after his jail term has been completed.

We always heard that Dubai was serious about fashion, but we didn't think they were prison-sentence serious.

Sad that I belong to such a place, no?! :P

and i love that he's doing the political stuff.

but uh... is anyone else slightly off-put by the children of the corn toddler or the alienesque lesbians? hmm... not loving the designs. still love him though.

Thinking about the matching LBDs comment got me to laughing. Although I think it's pretty clear that the magazine was referring to the matching outfits, I started trying to think of a way in which lesbian bed death could come into it, fashion-wise.

Also at the back of my mind was the thought that the tee with the drawing could have been much more powerful if actually cast and shot as a MJ-style ad, then printed a la the Beth Ditto tee.

So, suddenly I've got this image in my head of this photoshoot, with a photographer trying to elicit the proper look from the models:

"I want you to give me lesbian bed death here."

"Ignore the baby...."

"You haven't fucked since you inseminated her!"

"That's it! Work that LBD!"

Giggle.
