Kids is one of those movies that’s a total anomaly, in that as great and seminal as it is none of the creative forces behind it ever did anything else worth a damn. Sure it gave the world Chloë Sevigny and Rosario Dawson (for which we’re grateful), but the duo behind Kids — director Larry Clark […]

These plimsoll style shoes from Rachel Comey are more (and less) than what you wished for: a simple sneaker design made of leather, with a navy blue top stitch panel, black laces and black suede trim. All on top of a flat yellow sole. New for the spring season collection, the Coonan shoe is available […]

The continuing saga of one girl’s plight with unemployment…(read vol I,  vol II, vol III, vol IV, vol V,  vol VI, vol VII, vol. VIII vol IX, vol X and vol XI) Over the last month a few people have started to ask me things like: “When’s the new Bureaucracy for Breakfast coming?!” or: “Where’s the new blog?
