It's Halloween!

So in the spirit of the holiday, transform yourself into your favorite beast (not that we need Halloween to do that) by putting on a Spirit Hood and tapping into your inner animal.

Spirit Hoods supports both the conservation and protection of the planet and its animals, and is partnered with a series of non-profit organizations that are dedicated entirely to wildlife conservation known as Product Blue.

Visit the Spirit Hoods website here or check out their blog.

Someone ought to remember the starving artists of the world...

...and make cheaper clothing.

Still, though, I can't help but admire the pricier items that are out there. For instance, these cloaks by Lindsey Thornburg, which I swear make my heart melt every time I see them.

Kate Moss for Topshop

Kate Moss's new line for Topshop launches Tuesday, November 2nd. But in the mean time to keep us occupied Topshop has released a lovely promo video which you can view here.

You can see our ad campaign from here!

FINALLY I have managed to get the photos from that shoot with the jeans and the glitter (ever so long ago) onto the blog and they're even really really easy to look at.

To check it out all you have to do is go to the page titled ONLINE CAMPAIGN and click the link (I got fancy and imbedded it in 'here,' nice, right?) and it will bring you to my shiny, new portfolio page which I have devoted entirely to Dirty Jeans ad campaigns, images, etc.

Enjoy!

We should pow-wow sometime soon

This afternoon as I sat in my room adorned with cheetah-print leggings and heavily-fringed moccasins, amongst a number of animal masks and faux fur, reveling in the energy-charged sounds of Kings of Leon's new album and envisioning the vast number of music festivals I plan on attending before I die (because this is what girls like me do in their spare time) an article in Elle peaked my interest.

The article was titled "Head Trip" and focused on a new designer, Chase Cohl, the now 22-yr-old daughter of the Rolling Stones' longtime manager. Well we all know a girl like that is destined to do something great, yeah? And in fact, she has not let us down. Cohl is rapidly gaining popularity over her new line of jewelry and headresses, which are heavily based in feathers, crystals, and hippie-style embroidery. (So you know this article is now hanging over my bed, haha.)

Perhaps it's a bit much (ha, how silly) but check out the website for a good time, aka http://www.littledoeislove.com/.

PS - the online store opens today

Come Around Sundown

Kings of Leon's new album, Come Around Sundown, was released today. Think gritty, classic, southern rock mixed with U2-sounding guitar riffs and you'll get the idea. At least I know I'll have something that sounds like summer to last me through the winter...

Tweet, tweet!

Dirty Jeans now has an official twitter account entirely its own! Be sure to check it out and follow us there for updates on what's going on.

Cannibalism soon-to-be socially accepted

On October 13, Ke$ha announced the release of her new album, Cannibal. Its scheduled release is November 22, not even a year after her debut album's release. You can listen to her first pre-released single, We R Who We R here.

As a well-known Ke$ha fan, you can probably imagine I'm somewhat excited.

Lennon Legend

Today marks what would be John Lennon's 70th birthday. To celebrate there are of course a number of events and premieres in his honor (go to the google title page and press play if you don't believe me). But if you can't make it to those, instead you can watch the movie 'Nowhere Boy,' starring Aaron Johnson, which covers Lennon's adolescent life. Either way, take today to appreciate the man that left such an amazing imprint on our culture.

Updates!

So once again the photoshoot for our online campaign was postponed. But no worries, when we finally do have the shoot it will get a pretty new page all to itself. (see above; cool, huh?)

Soon you'll also be able to see examples of our fabulous (if I do say so myself) makeup artistry too! So if anyone has any special events coming up...homecoming perhaps?

And finally I also thought to add a calendar page so you guys can check in if there's ever any dispute about when things are happening, check it now to find out the tentative date of our next shoot and be sure to comment if you can come! Hope you like the new additions!
