THE ORACLE: LONDON

2007-09-06T20:36:00.000-04:00

Good evening fellow blogging community... Yes, the blog has been stagnant for a week or so..but for good reason- EXPLORATION!!!! ADVENTURE!!! and yes, that took the kikis to London... To see what the fuss was all about.. and WE LOVED IT!! FUSS=JUSTIFIED! I was online one day and a woman wrote in inquiring about a bag she'd seen on the blog.. We spoke, talked, wrote and wrote.. Oh the O'Leary, as I like to refer to her as was a breathe of fresh air.. She was a young londoner, in search of fashion delicacies. and I was coming to her stomping ground and could provide! and in return she informed me that she could tell me all of her London secrets, that only those with a proper and not fake accent would be privy to.. I took her up on her offer, with a babooshka hobo in my suitcase.. Jetlagged, I met her at Shortage house, a quite shi shi hangout with folks laying about in the pool and drinking pretty drinks.. Mine, a yummy mohito of some sort. I Love the people I met. co-workers, friends, completely kind and friendly.. NOT NEW YORK! I made the fashion transfer and she gave me "The Oracle's list".. A treasured item. All knew of this knowdledge- as strange as it was..I ran away, ready to take it on.. Except, I'm jet lagged.
But, I muddled through a few sites, had a few brews, defended my partner from patroling hippie hipsters with their eyes for Italians..at Dover Street market.. Comme Des Garcons for days!!! A few days later i met the Oracle at a "good" chinese restaraunt in Soho with some good friends and friend of friends and Sophie!!.. We drank wine.. ate tofu... drank more pints.. went to Duckies, a reknowned gay bar in the district of debauchery.. Sophie hiked her skirt a few inches higher... I took ridiculous pictures.. Hours later, after tube attempts, cabs, the oracle threw me in a cab where I returned to the Hoxton for a good and long sleep..
gracia ORACLE!!!! I love strangers who take you in and are so sweet to tell you about their city.. kisses.. kikis.

With hopefully just a subtle wine buzz, I ran after her for a photograph which she so kindly agreed to and was so sweet and gracious.. Adorable in every sense of the word from her look to her lyrics, we love this lady.. And the show, though short was very very fun.. We're won over.. Did I mention I smuggled in my camera in my Fruit o the looms!!

Yes it's muse time, with our resident blogger in the homeland picking through leather scraps for the next collection, I thought i would add another...yes..muse.
Miss Nina Hagen!! Address her as the Mother of Punk please, and do you research on her because her story is as interesting as her look and music that's been around since '78.
Never conventional, always giving for a cause, and never boring, this german songstress is yes, another that has inspired creativity for many, including the KIKIS.. Long Live Nina! She also has a new Big Band album out which is superb, so check it out!

CELEBRITY SPOTTING!!???YANG YANG

2006-08-29T19:09:00.000-04:00

For decades she has been the chic-est and most forward thinker/performer there is, and all our divas are influenced by her in some way.. In the late 60's, Gents were cutting her frock off for entertainment. In the 70's her caderwalling was cringed upon.. But we, the Kikis team site her as "The Muse" for today.. She was in her 60's in this picture of her in the Bambata bag? Soft Italian calfskin cross body with GM Collections button.. Gracia Yoko!
