Oh, Oh...

I was recently at a party where the hostess insisted I go home wearing some of her accessories, including her fave (only??) hooker shoes. She said they'd be life changing. I greatly regret leaving them in her powder room...but it got me thinking. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the weekend with the hooker theme in mind...



Not quite the same move Julia Roberts made... Put your money on Julia Wilson-she's the real deal.




Yum. Maneaters from Stella McCartney. Can you believe they're vegetarian?



If you're wearing Givenchy, who cares if your dress is held together by a couple hoop earrings?




Stomping grounds. Get used to it. Welcome to Hollywood! What's your dream?




The inspiration. "You denied their power." -Allison. I promise, never again!

You're Right in Liking MEAT


There's something about the marbled look of raw meat that makes it so luxurious and appealing... right? Go for Baroque with Victoria Reynold's oil painting of pork butt (styled for T Magazine). Scroll down for an entry chock full of iron(y).




Rising cost of beef + America’s passion for red meat=timeless classic. Roy Lichtenstein’s “Meat”, 1962




Just another shining example of Kate can-do-no-wrong Moss. Here on the S/S 09' cover of Tar magazine. Girl next door? Natasa Vojnovic styled by Alastair McKimm for the same issue.





The original 1966 "Butcher" cover, shot by Robert Whitaker, featured the boys dressed in butcher coats hanging out with raw meat and decapitated plastic dolls. A little over 700,000 copies of this album were distributed to a few cities in the U.S. It may have been in stores for a whole day before being banned and snatched up by Capitol Records who then Elmer's glued a friendlier photo on top of the gory image. Supposedly the first intended photo was their commentary on the war...Ringo swears it had to do with how Capitol Records originally "butchered" their earlier albums. WILL WE EVER KNOW THE TRUTH??



Simone Racheli's 2006 exhibit of every day objects. Spoiler alert-these were just made to look like meat.




Zink magazine cover and editorial shoot from 2008. Eh so it's been a year. Only thing going bad here is the steak.



Wall adorned with rare works of art. Seen here at Brooklyn's darling Fette Sau, where they sell beer by the gallon + delish BBQ to boot. Done & done.



Seems like a no brainer, right? You wouldn't believe the d-bags out there who still expect their hosts to supply everyone's party meat. So in that case, for your next Meat & Greet-get inspired by the invites seen here from graphic designer Niki Brown.



Nuff said. Forget the days of mad cow and embrace the days of Mad Men!

Ah a girl can dream...
