Have you ever heard of the saying "When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade" ? Well, when New York City gives you access to a sick penthouse in Tribeca, you do a photoshoot in it... at least that's what I did. It involved halfway drowning in a bathtub that took an hour to fill up, being shirtless in -5 degrees Celsius weather, a wolf fur coat (Sorry PETA), a lot of Pinot Noir, and one of the first photographers to photograph me when I was like 19: Cyle Suesz. 

Every time we get together we just have a great time and some of my best pictures come out of it. You can check out a shoot from 2012 we've collaborated on HERE.

Naughty Santa Sweatshirt // Clashist.com *THROWBACK*

8 days until christmas. Holy shit. 2014 is almost to an end. It's sad to think it doesn't feel like Christmas yet, but what's a better way to get in the mood than a Christmas sweater? Recently, LA based digital printing apparel company 'Clashlist', sent me one of their limited edition pieces called the 'Naughty Santa Sweatshirt'. This sweatshirt blends the aesthetics of today's pop culture with pictures of Santa like you've never seen him before: Smoking weed, drinking beer, making out with Mrs.Clause, even having an affair with an elf. It's hilarious and you'll be sure to get tons of funny looks while wearing it. Who knew being naughty could look this good? 

This sweater has even been seen on Miley Cyrus's crazy ass so make sure you get your hands on this limited edition piece just in time to give your grandparents a heart attack at Christmas dinner. The line is carried at Kitson, Nylon, Nasty Gal, Karmaloop, ModCloth, and Myrtle. Or simply click HERE to get yours now. $120 USD.
