I've migrated over to Facebook.
You can friend Layla Delridge the person and/or LedThread if you need more of me.
I found some YouTube action of LedThread onstage with TV on the Radio at Coachella. Worn by Katrina, also of the awesome band Celebration. If you don't know these bands, you should!
Mmm. You are so silent.
Yes, I've been stuck in my head.
Dreaming and planning and falling.
Working on new ideas for LedThread fall.
I'm very excited.
What you see here is a preview. Made by me, from leather, textile from a collaboration with the Slow Loris, Swarovski crystals, and lots and lots of time and patience.
Last week was surprisingly awesome and shitty. Lots of awesome things happened, but I was feeling quite dark and moody.
I went to my first pole dancing class. Kristin installed a pole in her studio a while back, and she's shown me a few things, but this was my first class. At Crunch gym in Park Slope. The top half of my torso and my abs were really unbearable sore for many days. And I had bruises in my inner thighs, inner knees, calves, and tops of my feet. It's HARD! However, I like the idea of using fitness to train myself for a back-up, lucrative side job, AND I get to buy a new pair of shoes.
Paw (my dad, it's an old joke) finally agreed to accompany/assist me on my continuing journey to Burning Man. I mean, he is really the ideal candidate. He's a survival high desert mountain man, just one state away from the Burn, and he has all the gear. And he's my dad, and since I'm an asshole who never goes home, and he's an asshole who won't go to New York or LA, we might as well go someplace wild and psychedelic together.
I got glasses for the first time in eight years last week. Above is my first sunset with said glasses. Dr. Harris said my eyes are not that bad, but that obviously I am a perfectionist and vision is important to me....
Oh, AND Kristin got invited to do this museum-style couture show during Paris Fashion Week, and wasn't sure if she should do it, and I was like "Duh! Go!" She: "Oh, right." Me: "With whom shall you go?" She: "Wanna come?" Me: "Yay!"
I'm not sure how I'm going to pay for these new adventures, since no one is buying any LedThread these days. But I'm using these opportunities to revamp. I'm going to have a sick photoshoot at Burning Man (with actual LED thread, of course--actual name, El Wire), and then make the couture fancy perfect versions for Paris.
Oui!
Well, hello there.
Do you know that I am officially dayjobless? Oh yes. I'm not quite adjusted yet, but it's coming. I've been working on LedThread infrastructure, so she can have all her bones and highways and plumbing in place.
And then I'll be able to GROW GROW GROW.
And speaking of growing, I'm turning into a crazy plant lady. Kinda like a crazy cat lady, only with plants.
Which brings me to a fun aside. When my granddad was a little boy in Nebraska, he and his father went to check on his aunt (or maybe great-aunt), an elderly lady who lived alone on the prairie. Alone, but with many cats. It was winter. She had been deceased for a while, and ...
So, my family has always been a bit prejudiced against cats. Because they ate my aunt. But, you see, perhaps I have the gene that inspires us to collect lots of alive things. Like plants. I just counted 16 at the studio. And a few more at home....
I really want a giant crop of these ones:
Coachella, mainstage, TVOTR, Saturday
i wished hard enough, and my fairy godmother called yesterday to tell me that i'm shooting from monday-thursday, so i can go to Coachella today.
i've never gone to coachella for a single day (i've always gone for the whole sh'bang), but i've also never gone when my friends were playing, having backstage access and/or while someone was going to be on the mainstage completely decked out in Ledthread! i'm so excited.
i've been wanting to put clothes on Katrina of Celebration for a long time (definitely check them out), and she's out here singing back-up for TV on the Radio, and since I've been stalking them since I've been in LA (Pomona Tuesday, Ventura Thursday, Jay Leno yesterday), I managed to hook her up with an awesome ensemble. A bright white crew tunic with a pile of wooden bead necklaces. She's gonna look HaUUUUGGGGGHT!!!
Wish me a quick jump from sunburn to gorgeous tan.
