Andrew Yang

For some reason, I really LOVE mini versions and interpretations of THINGS…fashion illustration, dolls of movie stars, etc. So these photos made my week, pretty much.

Andrew Yang is a doll maker I found out about through the ladies at Six Six Sick. He tailored Spring 2010 outfits and created dolls for this editorial from The Block Magazine and HOT DOG, lemme have em. Yes, Ken, I really do say HOT DOG.

Here are more of his dolls, which are wonderfully morbid and terrifically bizarre, and very different from the Spring ‘10 ones (though the Spring ‘10 ones stay true to the somewhat creepy feel of his other creations):

Cora and Clarice

Evelyn Mercier

Ingrid St. Claire

And, there is a story about each doll on his site-how cool is that? One day when I win the lottery I am buying all of them for my children. Then stealing them. Not really, that would be mean to the kids! HAHAHAHA …JOKES..OF COURSE….

2222

Maybe all the pastel metallics and spiky pixie hair (Winona Ryder in Rolling Stone, anyone?) suddenly feel fresh because the 90’s are now over a decade old.

Nick Knight

These photos of Devon Aoki and Bjork remind me so much of one another and are both shot by Nick Knight. I wonder if it’s intentional that they are so similar-looking? If one is a play off another or if they’re not even supposed to relate to each other at all?

Man With Kaleidoscope Eyes: Part Three

Soooooo while looking at all the Fall sales on my favorite online stores (nevermind that I spent way too much on a skirt last weekend and should not even be TEMPTING myself) I came across a Laura Lees skirt on Farfetch.com that totally reminded me of Alan Aldridge, whom I’ve written about on this here Pop blog. The more I looked at other stores, the more I saw him everywhere. And I was bored, so I made collages. And now I’m really worried I might buy some of it, so yeah.
