The Most Awesome Magazine
We “dropped” the September issue of 180 Magazine at New York Fashion Week last week, and I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I am going to toot all the live long day. Sure, I just edit the words in this fine publication, but as editor-at-large for the mag, I also help with...
I am NOT stalking Walter Van Beirendonck
This past week, Walter Van Beirendonck was a special guest (along with a slew of others) during the Academy of Art University’s “Fashion Week.” I put quotes around “Fashion Week” because it wasn’t a full week — only four days. But I digress. The bearded and bejeweled (he wears some intense rings) artist is a...

Don’t Forget to ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’
If you are in the mood for a documentary this weekend, perhaps you should ingest the film Exit Through the Gift Shop. The film by the British graffiti/street art genius, Banksy has already gotten major props and – well – it’s just a really provoking look at the world of street art – just stay...
There’s a naked man hanging around my neck
The other day, my friend/colleague Cheryl told me that MAC (Modern Appealing Clothing, not the makeup store) in Hayes Valley was having an uber-sale. Seeing as though I easily succumb to peer pressure, we went after work. Now MAC isn’t your normal San Francisco store. It is the ultimate destination for label whores like myself....
Have a ‘Chillin’ Saturday
The folks at Chillin’ Productions are at it again; bringing an army of fashion designers, DJs and artists under the roof of Mezzanine for their holiday party this Saturday:
Richard Phillips makes celebs look like ’80s icons
Artist Richard Phillips recently created an exclusive editorial project for VMAN16 that featured celebs that have, at one time or another, been the object of a teen girl’s fanatical affection. The five paneled piece includes portraits of Chace Crawford, Zac Efron, Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, and Robert Pattinson.. The pieces will be featured at the...
Painting with your genitals
I love to look through the missed connections on Craigslist; not only in hopes to have a serendipitous storybook romance that only happens in movies, but to also be thoroughly entertained. Today I found this one: Question: What does “dickpainter” mean? – m4m (castro / upper market) Someone called me a dickpainter the other night....
I am so immature
I took an extra long weekend and went to New York for some non-Fashion Week related fun. To get a little more cultured, I decided to go to the American Museum of Natural History and then the next day I went to The Met (a.k.a. The Metropolitan Museum of Art). I felt so refined as...
You should be listening to Janelle Monáe
For real, if you haven’t listened to Janelle Monáe you need to. Right now. Click here to listen to her fantastical music. Click it NOW! I got to interview her this weekend in SF for an article I am working on and she is the SWEETEST! Plus, she said I looked cute! So extra points...
Joseph Cross sighting in SF AGAIN!
This weekend, while feeding my nicotine habit outside of the Westfield Shopping Centre (the “re” makes it fancier) in San Francisco, I saw Joseph Cross AGAIN! And this time, he was spotted with some Asian dude exiting the touristy shopping Mecca. As many of you know I spotted him the other night at a fashion...
