More Awesome Indie Clothes
While
looking for screenshots from
BeetleJuice for the
Fish Hook Story, I stumbled upon
Plastik
Wrap,
an independent clothing designed with a serious bent towards techno/goth/sci-fi garb.
My only gripe is that I wish there were more men's clothes but the few items they have are decent and the
women's stuff is amazing. It's as if Jennifer Connelly's character from Requiem for a Dream finally opened a
fashion store.
Check out the Plastik Wrap
store
While we're talking about cool clothes, I should mention that Veronica Varlow of DangerDame.com has added some new items since I
last featured
fashion here at GlitchNYC.com .
Link stolen from
Void-Star.net
who also has some BeetleJuice and Ragnarok inspired "slashy, high-tech, high-fantasy" fiction going
on at her site.

DangerDame.com Mixes Fantastic Photography with 50's "bad girl" Fashion
Well, they don't make guy's clothes so I'm out of luck, but holy crap if
these aren't some of the better designs I've seen mixed with some really awesome
photography on a lot of levels.
I know a lot of girls who would kill for some of these duds.
At the moment, the real roots of the site are a bit murky, but from what I can work out,
Veronica Varlow is making the designs, appears in most of the artwork, and ships
the damn
stuff herself, e-bay style.
She also seems to be in the NYC Metro area somewhere, with a 718 number on the site. So
here lies the mystery: Who is
Veronica Varlow?
It seems she is also involved in the movie Revolver - another project shrouded in secrecy.
Starving artist or the next Bettie Page, just waiting to hit the
limelight at the right
time? Any thoughts?
UPDATE: Arden caught the earlier error where Bettie Page was misplelled
"Betty Paige," saying quite humourosly (and correctly) "You, of ALL
people, should know that
one." That's what I get for trusting google results when looking up
spelling!
She also points to the site Bettiepage.com
...for additional insights into the original "Queen of Kink."

Booted Up
Okay - My last pair of boots didn't go so
well. Compared to the glowing
accounts of most
Doc Martens, my
pair was flimsy, soft leathered, and slippery. I beat the hell out of them
in about 6 months, and wore them for a total of 9.
I've just gotten a new pair, complete with extra stiff thick leather, steel toes, a
thicker black sole, and more eyes. Lets see if I can ruin these.
