New Year Hair

I know a lot of our customers get their hair cut at Sweeney Todd Barber Shop just down the road from TriCo.
They are amazing and I would love to go there, but they only cater to males... and I'm not yet at a stage in my life that would necessitate taking a straight razor to my head.

So, if by chance you are a female visiting our block, I can highly recommend Works of Art, right next door to TriCo.

I usually cut my own hair and haven't been to a salon in years, but thought I would trust a professional with my New Year haircut and yesterday got my tresses chopped by Art Cardiel.
It was a luxurious experience (you get a wicked head massage when they wash your hair!)
Thanks Art, I love it!

Merry Imogen Wednesday


Today, I am wearing:
Dress - Sailor Swing Dress by Pinup Couture (www.pinupgirlclothing.com). They have so many amazing dresses! This is my first purchase of many... I want them all!
Shoes - I got these babies for $7 at K-mart and I love em!
Bra & knickers - White set by Lyric.
Jewelry - All by The Great Frog.
Lipstick - Ruby Woo by M.A.C
Hat - From Santa himself. (He was kind enough to give one to mr. Skellington too :)

P.S. For any of you who saw me today, you may have noticed, I was not actually wearing this. The reason being, I forgot (as usual) not only that it was Imogen Wednesday, but also that I promised I would do a Christmas themed Imogen Wednesday.
Luckily, I had this dress in my car because I picked it up from the dry cleaners this morning!... worked out magically.
Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Countdown!

Its only 3 days til Christmas!! If you still have any last minute shopping to do,
you know where to come!!
Between DicE, Dixie and The Great Frog, we have you covered at Tri Co.

Imogen Wednesday



Well now, this is Imogen Wednesday, yes it is indeed. So today she is wearing

Boots: Combat boots from a place called Overland in New Zealand.
Socks: Imogen likes grey socks but doesn't own any. So, ever resourceful she cut the sleeves off the Dice T shirt she is wearing in the above photos and hey presto, sock problem solved....sort of.
Jeans: Black, from Just Jeans funnily enough.
T shirt: Dice Indian head vintage style tee brilliantly customised by Imogen herself.
Incidentally they are available from Tri Co for the measly sum of $22.95. (not customised of course)
Bra and knickers: Black and white by Diesel, some of her favourite ones.
Jewellery: All the Great Frog today, none of her own creations.
Lippy: This time she has the normal red BUT is also wearing Agent Provocateur lip gloss too.

Imagine My Surprise




For the opening of the store a couple of months ago we printed 20 T shirts. We sold them all pretty quickly. Imagine my surprise then when I spotted not one but two people wearing them at the great Mooneyes show in Yokohama last weekend. They didn't know each other btw.

Imogen Wednesday


Matt & Dean don't return from Japan til tomorrow, so here I am once again trying to take a self portrait, in between customers coming into the shop (it is totally awkward when you get caught doing this). I thought I would sit with Mr. Skelen as to not look so alone.

Today, I am wearing...
Shoes: Iron Fist 'manslayer' wedges. Check them out they have awesome stuff!
Stockings: Voodoo brand, criss cross.
Jersey/Dress: From 'Native Boutique' in Franklin Village, Hollywood. I wear this thing all the time. I am currently wearing it back-to-front... but i like it this way.
Bra & Knickers: Mossimo stripey matching set.
Jewellery: Bird skull pendant by The Great Frog, others by Gavan Riley and myself.
