IHazABag’s Skulls Wine & Roses Kiss Lock Purse

This bag does it all. This bag can be casual or dressy, could fit for many looks from pinup to steampunk to Victorian, it can be spring with its floral print or winter with its muted tones, girly with its roses or tough with its skulls. This bag will blend nicely into your wardrobe and being black and grey tones, it will work with most any outfit. Purses by IHazABag always have great detailing, love the closure and the spider bow and chains on the side, too cute! (but sophisticated at the same time too).

The Skulls Wine & Roses Kiss Lock Purse is available for $70 at www.ihazabag.etsy.com.

With roots as a model and burlesque performer, Marlo Marquise is always expanding her creative horizons, she recently relocated to Los Angeles from New York City, starting the studio and production company House of Virtue with Billy Vahan of Antiseptic Fashion and a couture fashion line, Marquise Lapin.

wardrobe : Antiseptic Fashion
model : Marlo Marquise
location : House Of Virtue

Recently you moved to LA from New York City, now that you’ve been in LA for a bit, what differences are you noticing from life in New York City? What sparked this change of location? And have you noticed a difference in the creative energy of both cities?
Marlo Marquise : LA and NYC are very similar and very different. I live in downtown LA so it really reminds me of my east village neighborhood in Manhattan. Both areas are very young and creative. New York is very fast pace and LA is the complete opposite. That is the biggest adjustment I’ve had to get used to! I’m just a go, go, go workaholic kind of woman, so it’s very hard to be in such a lackadaisical environment now. Los Angeles seems more fine art focused, and New York City is more about the theater as far as creativity goes. Basically what made me commit to relocating was that instead of just performing and modeling, I wanted to produce large events and start designing clothing. LA has bigger and better venues, I can throw events in my loft, and downtown LA is the most efficient area for making garments and starting companies of the like. It just made sense! I was traveling back and forth for a year before deciding. I do however consider myself bicoastal, and always a New Yorker at heart!

Mind.in.a.box’s Dreamweb Pillow

image source mindinabox.com

At Auxiliary Magazine we are all very excited about the upcoming mind.in.a.box release, Revelations, released today in Europe and on January 24th in the US. Mind.in.a.box has a new record label and a new online webstore and available on it is this fantastic throw pillow. Avoid the boring, typical merch and opt for something more unique, a handmade pillow! How appropriate that this pillow is for their Dreamweb album. With this pillow you can now curl up and cuddle mind.in.a.box and your love of their music. Or on a bit more practical note, t-shirts, long desired by miab fans for years (when they played Kinetik Festival 2011 you could make a merch vendor very ornery very fast by asking if they had miab t-shirts) as well as their new album are available on their new webstore.

The mind.in.a.box pillow is available online for €22 at www.mindinabox.com.

seven deadly questions : Aesthetic Perfection

auxiliarymagazine — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:30:26 +0000

Daniel Graves of Aesthetic Perfection reveals how he sins.

interview by Mike Kieffer

Daniel Graves is the founder and sole creative member of the electro-industrial band Aesthetic Perfection. This past November All Beauty Destroyed was released, the bands third album and first to be released by Metropolis Records. With this release, Graves has carved out a highly addictive album full of witty lyrics, powerful vocals, and smashing beats.

Lust – People magazine puts you on their cover, shortly thereafter young teenage girls deem you aesthetic perfection and therefore the new heartthrob. Explain your reaction and future actions.
Daniel Graves : I think I’d just be really confused and frightened. Teenage girls are insane, I’d probably have to be a hermit and never leave the house at that point.

Sloth – Three separate friends ask you to help them move for the next three weekends, do you help out or come up with excuses? If you do indeed decide to help out, what excuses would you have used?
DG : If all three were really good friends, I’d begrudgingly help them. I’d complain a lot, but I’d help. If we weren’t tight I think I wouldn’t even bother making up excuses. I imagine I’d just tell them that carrying a couch up a flight of stairs for a casual acquaintance is not how I picture a perfect weekend.
