Adam and Matthew























Adam's fashion is inspired by, "Mr. Lovecraft, woods, attics, cellars, Ichabod Crane, the Barn, the Deep Deep Sea, and Danny Zuko."

His brother Matthew is inspired by, "The Drink, my grandmother's garage and my pap's cigar, bunnies, Andre Ridgeway, and Stuart Wilde."

Bonnaroo Edition: Byrd the Starfish and Nightshade























Style Influences

Byrd: Angry anarcha-feminist chic. My clothes were free from dumpsters, friends, or the communal clothing collection.

Nightshade: Crusty, grungy, hippie, squatter punk is what I go for. Clothes obtained from dumpsters.

Clothes at Eleven

Eleven is at 122 S. Gay St. (across the street from Nama). I passed by the other day and stopped inside. Co-owner, Peter Chang, tells me they're currently having a "soft opening" while they get their stock in and work out details. Peter mentioned that a lot of the designers are LA-based. All of the dresses I saw looked LAish fabulous: short, shiny, and stylish. Most I saw were under $100. They also have some jewelry and purses with more items arriving soon.



They also carry men's clohting and designer sneakers on consignment. Stylish sneakers: yes! There are shelves full of shrink wrapped kicks just waiting for the hip throngs of Knoxville. I'm not a sneaker fetish person and did not check their prices, but I'd assume they're reasonable and competitive.

That block of Gay St. is ripped up right now for construction--be a good civic fashionista and patronize this young store so it can have a steady start. Send me photos of anything you purchase there and I'll post it here.

Shelagh























Shelagh approached me and said, "Look what I've got in my shirt." It was a sure-enough-real-live-baby-duck. Wow. Apparently abandoned by its biological mother, Duckling was traveling well between Shelagh's boobs. We wish them both the best.
