HOMIE DON'T PLAY THAT SH*T.

XXX Your Main Girl

GRUNGE NATION

Your Main Girl wants to get something off of her chest. Doesn't it seem like all the fashion bloggers out there are a bunch of girly-girls with bottomless bank accounts? Their outfits might be awesome, but they are a mere fantasy for us small folk. They just make US want what WE CAN'T have afford. Your Main Girl does not care about the "Similar" link at the bottom of the page if it is not cheaper! If she can't afford a Louboutin she can't afford a Manolo. All she is saying is that like most of the college grads out there.... she is flat broke.

THE ARTIST LEE PRICE: IN HONOR OF THE HOLIDAY

Asleep: Oil on Linen & Blueberry Pancakes II: Oil on Linen, 64" x 31" &  56” x 38”

Sleeping With Peaches: Oil on Linen, 56" x 81"  

Your Main Girl didn't see this artwork in person though it is on display in New York at the Wendt Gallery and the Gallery Henoch. Her bad, she was too busy eating and stuff. 

Speaking of eating and stuff; that is what Price has given to us via oil paint. She draws a woman, presumably herself, eating...and stuff. Well, excellent subject matter my friend, it really hits home for YMG. What is more heavenly than eating blueberry pancakes while you work on your hygiene. Don't answer that, Your Main Girl doesn't care. 

FASHION POST: STREET STYLE

Street style in New York does not compare to street style anywhere else in the world. When Your Main Girl dresses for the catwalk that is the NYC streets she thinks of it as a dirty canvas.It is YMG's job to paint these dirty streets with something people will stop and stare at. 

YOU LOOK DIRTY: A FASHION POST

Your Main Girl is going to make this very simple: Printed Denim is in, shorts and tights are like so Europe, & adding any tee to a dressy outfit makes you look like you're a fu*king rockstar. 

WHAT? AN ART POST.

Ron English: Crucial Fiction

YMG visited the Opera Gallery in SOHO to see Ron English's solo exhibit entitled, Crucial Fiction. She had to see this artist's work in person. Take a look at the most amazing, trippy, wtf art you-will-ever-see. 

Let's start with Exhibit A: In front of us is Ms. Marilyn Monroe, one of the biggest sex symbols of modern America. We also have Mickey Mouse, one of the biggest childhood symbols of modern America. Two things that obv belong to together right? WRONG. But it feels so right. 

Marilyn With Mickey Mouse, Screen Print

Now for exhibit B: English takes the iconic Rolling Stones tongue and makes it cooler. You didn't think that was possible? Neither did Your Main Girl. The Lips are two people having funky intimate relations and the background is made up of psychedelic skulls.Didn't see that at first glance, did you?!

Star Skull Lady Lips Oil, synthetic polymer paint and collage
 on canvas 80 x 60 inches 

Exhibit C: The good stuff. Your main girl doesn't know how English comes up with this sh*t but she is happy he does! What could be better than a suspiciously happy Barney riding a T-rex, with Homer Simpson looking aimlessly by his side, and  Ronald McDonald Chillin' in a UFO?... 

DONT EVEN COUTURE

7 TRENDS YMG WILL NEVER ROCK

If you really must know: 1. Courtesy of Pintrest, 2. topshop.com 3. Theory, 4. Jeffery Campbell, 5. The Lovely Jessica Alba and Drew Barrymore, 6. Marc by Marc Jacobs, 7. Milly 

1. "Low socks & Heels", Were Birkenstocks and socks ever really cool? YMG says most definitely NOT. With the exception of knee highs (worn by yours truly), which are obv sexy. YMG would never DARE try this trend no matter how well the socks might match her awesome new Louboutins...now that would just be a huge WASTE of $1,000. 
2. "The Finger Bracelet",This contraption looks as though it could easily have been pulled right out of 50 Shades.You can now buy this anywhere from Bergdorfs to Claires but no matter WHO is selling or the PRICE YMG says #tackytackytacky. 
3. "The Silky Pants" Maybe they look cute on an super skinny model..maybe. But unless you want your boss thinking you had a one night stand and ran to work the next day in your pajamas.. these pants need to stay in the bed where they belong. 
4. YMG will admit at age 13 no matter how much her mother protested that she was "tall enough already", she gave into her peer pressures and bought those lovely Steve Madden "Platforms". Those days are behind us my friends...if YMG is going to be wearing shoes that make her taller than most guys they better be cute and make her legs look DAMN SKINNY! 
5. YMG is just so over this whole ombre thing. She has never even tried it because everyone knows roots have always been gross. She gets it you color your hair but you don't have to make it so obvious.YMG does not know who started this trend but it has gotten a little extreme. If you want blonde highlights FINE but get the roots while your at it. 
6. Marc, YMG is sorry but no she does not want to be carrying a giant and obnoxious colored bag with your name stitched all over it....for the 4th season in a row (cough cough).
7. "The Peter Pan Collar" hmmm unless you reside in a convent with your loving husband Jesus Christ, Just...no, YMG only wears classic collars.

FALL FASHION 2012 (IT'S IN THE DETAILS)

YMG is the first to admit that the fashion world goes a little crazy at times.You see people pairing together out-of-control outfits that have just a little bit TOO much going on. Honestly who are these people trying to set trends for? Well YMG has decided it is the small details that really make the outfit. So before you pile on your entire box of costume jewelry, remember in fashion, LESS is MORE.

We all know that the big picture isn't always so pretty-- so just remember it's in the details.
