The band will be signing copies of their latest album Laugh Now, Laugh Later, with Corey Miller who designed the album’s artwork.
Meet the band and the artist, get your copy of the CD, vinyl and artwork signed, and enter a competition to win a pair of tickets to the FACE TO FACE show, on the same night at the Best Buy Theatre.
KINGS AVE TATTOO NYC is located at 188 Bowery (at Spring Street) in New York City. The event starts at 5pm.
OMG. As royal wedding hysteria sweeps the nation, a crazy tattoo story was bound to hit the press. The Mirror was first to get the scoop…
Shop manager, Steve White, decided to commemorate the wedding celebration of the year by getting Wills and Kate’s silhouette tattooed to his leg. Steve is not a fan of the royals and got it after a couple of beers. The 29-year-old doesn’t think he is marriage material himself, so decided to celebrate someone else’s. I am sure Steve will be able to find a royal wedding fanatic to marry him now…any takers?
I have a confession to make…I think I am in love with a zombie boy.
Rick Genest (aka Rico, aka Zombie Boy, aka the Mugler Muse) is fashion’s latest unconventional star. Moving from sideshow (used to star in a Montreal Circus) to main attraction (Mugler, Nicola Formichetti and Lady GaGa).
Rick and NicolaRick and GaGa - for her Born this Way video
The Muse of Mugler
Genest walked in the Thierry Mugler Fall 2011 runway show, and he was recently photographed by Mariano Vivanco, (styled by Formichetti) for a spread in Vogue Hommes Japan, Hard to be Passive.
It it these pictures – along with about a million views of the GaGa video and constant stalking of his tumblr – that have made me slightly obsessed with this unconventional hotty. He encompasses two of my loves (fashion and tattoos) in a form that in theory sounds unappealing (sexually not in a human intrigue sense), but with those cheekbones, that body and an undeniable sex appeal, I just – like many others – cannot resist.
And for those of you intrigued to see the before…which I know you are…feast your eyes on this… (unfortunate about the unattractive mouth-open face he is pulling).
I thought long and hard about what I really wanted, what my passion was. And I decided I wanted to be a fucking zombie.
So who’d have though it? I think the skeletal look is rather becoming. With the face above, I fear, he would never have made it onto the Mugler Catwalk or the pages of Vogue (although I am intrigued to see more before shots of the un-photoshopped variety).
Rick, I salute you , your vision and your overactive imagination. You’re a celebration the art of obscenity and the macabre in a high-fashion form.
This weekend I shall be attending two very exciting events.
Tonight:
This event, at 123 Bethnal Green Road, will celebrate the launch of Amelia Gregory‘s Compendium of Fashion Illustration. I am particularly excited about the goodie bags as they look utterly splendid (let’s face it who doesn’t love good tote?) I can’t wait to blog about this one, but in the meantime I must find something to wear…
Sunday:
The fourth annual tattoo convention in Brighton.
I attended the convention last year – I was a virgin convention goer back then – and I am a little more excited than apprehensive this time round. Some of the photos from last year are here, I will endeavor to get lots more photos, inspiration and artist info for you. As ever my trusty photographer Looby will be accompanying me, are you ready for this Loobs?
See you at the after party?
Extremely excited about both for very different reasons. Once the weekend has passed expect blogging, pictures and beauty of wondrous contrast.
These pics are taken from the latest issue of W magazine.
Who’d have thought this girl dumped Mark Zuckerberg?
The actress from The Social Network is now to star in David Fincher’s film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Rooney Mara in character as Salander—an androgynous, bisexual computer hacker with multiple piercings and a distinctive tattoo on her back— is too hot for words in this dirty, dark photo shoot. According to W magazine, to prepare for the role of the computer hacker Salander, Mara had her eyebrows bleached, her hair chopped, and her lip, brow, nose, and nipple pierced — all in one ‘intense’ day.
The band will be signing copies of their latest album Laugh Now, Laugh Later, with Corey Miller who designed the album’s artwork.
