Dear Daily Update,
Check out this super cute pic that one of our main gal pals, Iris snapped
on the streets of NYC. His name is Nico and he is a total hottie, so I had to
show you guys. He is wearing our Legalize LA Tee with the word "azuca" which means
sugar in Spanish. I love that golden brown sugar!!!! To learn more about
our Legalize LA biz, click here.
As always, when in
need of musical
accompaniment at the
quasi-bi-curious-annual
flea markets, AA
looks to Viva
Radio to deliver
the goods and this
is just what we're
doing. The DJ
line-up for Saturday
and Sunday is as
follows:
As outlined by the
schedule above, the
market starts at 10
on Saturday morning
lasting until 8 that
night, then proceeds
to start up again
the next morning on
Sunday at 9 until
Piper brings it all
down until 6, with a
final hour of
silence leading the
whole thing to
finish by 7 PM. Pre-sale
tickets of $10
entitles you to a
two-day pass, front
of the line entry
and checkout, a $5
gift card to be
redeemed at any
American Apparel
retail location, and
one free taco.
OMFG John
Galliano loves me and my Daddy's company!!!! So here's the T: back
in March I got invited to the Dior show in Paris along with my gal pal Leigh
Lizark and could not believe that my life was getting soooo chic!!!! So,
my Tootie always told me to send a thank you letter and gift if someone
does something nice for you. So I sent one to Monsieur G, along withmy
fave AA picks including The Slash Slacks that I was developing at the time with my BFF "Pinky". So wouldn't ya know, he sent me a Thank You
Letter back!!!! So MAJOR! So, long story longer, this weekend at his Men's
Show he totally wore the Mineral Wash Slash Slacks Sample!!!! Love you
John Galliano, Mean It!!!!!
Xox
PS I love you too Jeremy, you will always be my first love!!!
Let's talk V
Count Macula.
The Count has
already made a name
for himself in
Detroit with his
stunt-style rap
performances and
incredible tubing
getaways. He lives
in Bushwick now and
if anyone is poised
to revive bicycle
jousting in that
area, I'm sure it's
him. We here at
Viva love him not
only because of his
lyrical
truth-telling, but
also because of the
hilarious station ID
he recently did for
us. Check him out
and stay tuned for
more V Count
coverage from
Viva Radio.

Cotton Spandex
Jersey Cycle
Shorts are the
most important piece
of clothing for this
summer. These shorts
are super easy to
wear, and act as a
blank canvas for
your fashion
creativity to run
wild. Great for
layering under your
favorite flowy tops
and
too-short-for-public
shorts, they come
in 4
fabrics and in
almost every color
under the sun. Dreamecho
cleverly illustrates
the different
outfits she could
come up with, and
these were our top
two favorites. Check
out her blog and see
the rest of her
outfits here.
A couple weeks ago me and my gal pal Nova did some
shopping for my fave Queen of Post Riot Girl Soul, Beth Ditto and The
Gossip!!!!
The vid explains it all! Later that night Me, Jeremy Scott, DJ Geo, Nathan and
Beth stayed up till 6am dancing, putting lipstick on eachothers faces,
swimming and making pancakes!
It's been a while since we caught up with our friends Ryan and Cole (and LB) over
at pacingthepanicroom.com and their awesome belly series of photos (if you haven't heard
about this, Ryan's been photographing his pregnant wife in American Apparel
clothes once a week and we love them). Here's the latest batch of Cole working it
in our cotton goods. They're expecting the little boy or girl to pop out pretty
soon...
