DECOMPENSATOR mug

For cafepress.com, maybe.

Whoops, cafepress's interface was balky and didn't allow me to do what I wanted. I ended up going with zazzle.com. Cheap, fast & easy.

Original Boy About Town Blog: "Obsessed" with Low Luv X Erin Wasson

...but then again, who isn't?!?!

Site reads:
"We first fell head-over-heels for LowLuv X Erin Wasson in 2008 on Alexander Wang's Runway, where Erin's coveted Model-Off-Duty style debuted. Fast forward two years and the supermodel still has a knack for dope jewelry that is sure to channel your inner Bohemian. For 2010, the model seemed to be inspired by literal interpretations of the past by introducing armor rings fit for a Crusader, silver bangles inspired by bones, and a ring outfitted with hieroglyphics. The collection is definitely perfect for keeping summer brights edgy. You can easily pair pieces with gladiator sandals, vintage t-shirts, slouchy cover ups, and ripped jean shorts. The best part is that with the incredible price range of $50 to $300, you can pick up a few edgy, timeless pieces that will amp up your summer style."

Huge CONGRATS! MELISSA Shoes INDUCTED into the CFDA!!!

Melissa is the newest member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), the influential fashion council headed by designer Diane Von Furstenberg. In April, the brand was invited to join the Business Service Network, a program of the CFDA comprised of high-profile companies in the US that provide designers with strategic opportunities. Melissa has been sold in the US for four years and is available at more than a thousand points of sale, including upscale stores like Saks and Bergdorf Goodman and the ever- fashionable Scoop, in NYC. The news has spread quickly throughout the media, which anxiously await the brand’s teaming up with a local fashion designer as well as other novelties that are sure to come from Melissa’s inclusion on the CFDA.

WWD states, “In the past, shoe company Melissa collaborated with the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler, Vivienne Westwood.... Future partnerships, however, could well be with American talent.” In Brazil, the website Chic and web portal Terramention Melissa as one of the few Brazilian brands that is a member of the Council, highlighting its international partnerships.

Everyone at Joey Showroom is thrilled for Melissa and looks forward to working with brand as they enter this exciting next chapter!

Constant downpours are now an everyday reality in the US. According to TODAY, a site powered by msnbc.com, with the rains come fashion accessories to keep us dry in style. The article “Spring Forward with Stylish Raingear,” cites Melissa Button Bootie Blue + Vivienne Westwood as an excellent choice to face rainy days without throwing a fashionable dress to the wind.

“Plus, since they’re a well-constructed, utterly comfortable boots of lightweight plastic that happen to be waterproof, you can wear them any old day throughout spring and with the daintiest dress all day long,”
adds Dannielle Kyrillos, the article’s author.
