This new year, take organic matter and man-make it your own.

This new year, shape the world into tools for your own pleasure and profit.

This new year, resolve to bend reality to your will, to build yourself into the person you want to be, and–

Only bother with “green” when it refers to cash.

Happy New Year, lovelies.

XXXO,

Lack of money is the root of all evil.

Low cash flow bleeds into envying thy neighbor — yeah, that fat housewife with the allowance.

Not printing paper leaves less space to jot down your dreams — like owning an Italian husband 10 years younger than you.

Not banging out Benjamins leads to desperate measures — like banging a Ben who measures up desperately.

Back to work.

That served yuppie vegan food.

I love being on top of the food chain. I order grilled shark at a cafe for the satisfaction of eating something that’d otherwise eat me if it weren’t for my mind, I clutch urbane snaky bags as a primal celebration of conquering Mama Nature, and I adore this Unearthed crocodile cuff as a smart “Fuck you” to a dino-old species that’d make a bracelet out of my albino skin–very exotic for Los Angeles–if it had the brain to do so.

Boss enough for your p.m. play, the ivory crocodile cuff is gloss enough for your business lunch.

The one you’re sure to kill.

Six protein bars instead of three meals? I traded the Upper East Side for LA? Rocked wedge boots instead of petite platform pumps?

– Give me a three minutes and two soy lattes, and my smoky eyes begin to clear. Brush off the bars, they’ll keep my little body hot for my boy, who makes La La Land bearable, who’s amused by my pretend-practical shoes.

And which, all rough, earthy suede, vibe right against the lucid Lucite cuff by Patricia von Musulin.
