bits and bobbins

whoa!: there’s a fashion spread in the latest (aug./sept. 2008) issue of BUST magazine that mentions wardrobe_remix and features some sassy, stylish wardrobe_remix(ers)! very cool.

i didn’t know anything about it until said issue arrived in my mailbox, at the end of last week (i’m a subscriber). i feel like i’m the last one to know about these things sometimes! hee.
here be the spread:

sadly, BUST neglected to mention the url for the group. what gives, BUST? but, thank you anyway, for the coverage, such as it is. it’s much appreciated!

and, congrats to the gals featured in the spread: the snail and the cyclops, sally jane vintage, boboniaa, and ami mai (whom i don’t know/recognize to connect her with a flickr handle! can anyone help? there are so many w_r’s posting these days, almost 10k! yay, but eep!).

you certainly deserve the recognition, ladies! congrats.

i found out yesterday that the DIY style magazine, adorn, published by soho publishing, is no more…

so sad.

no one from the magazine told me anything (not that they had to, of course).

i found out the magazine folded by visiting the adorn website yesterday. as you can see, it’s virtually non-existent. my curiousity was peaked, and via a little googling, i found a thread that mentioned the magazine’s demise in the adorn magazine flickr community. i then emailed some contacts to find out more info…

and suffice it to say, the bad news was indeed confirmed.

thus, the remix_redux articles i wrote for the mag featuring select photographs from wardrobe_remix are no more.

thanks again to all the wardrobe_remix(ers) who were featured in the articles i wrote. i could not have done these articles without you, of course!

and a BIG HUGE thanks to adorn for giving me the opportunity to write for them. it was great experience for me, and a heap of fun.

also: my sincere apologies to those wardrobe_remix(ers) who were slated to be in the remix_redux article in the (now) non-published spring 2008 issue. had i known anything, i would have passed on the news to you sooner.

more recent press on yours truly and wardrobe_remix…a great little interview with myself and agathe of stylebytes on matters of style and fashion over at fashion156, by writer eva bowering.

thanks, fashion156, and especially eva!
