I live in Chocolate City, Work for NPR, am currently working on an MA in Interior Design, Love my roommate, friends and Kitteh, "Bits." Day to day I find more and more beauty lurking in the oddest spots. Rouge My Knees is an accumulation of notes on what I find whets my curiosity for all things toxic and pretty.
I love sharing my view of the world through the photos and links posted here. 
Wedding photos of Elvis and Priscilla seem like they belong in my family photo albums…that’s how engrained these photos are in my childhood memories. My dad loved Elvis and my aunt boasted one of the largest memorabilia collections, so there was no shortage of the King around.

Maybe I should just throw on a wig and call it a day.
It all started with some Will Cotton paintings, My Little Pony and Mother Monster of course…

GAGA and Natali. I have a feeling we will see more of sister GAGA as she seems to be designing more and more of GAGA’s stage sets. Exactly what the world needs more of. MORE GERMANOTTA INSPIRED ART!

Hear Nick Knight wax poetic on minerals, flora and sculpture. The historical and scientific influence on Knight and Alexander McQueen is so refreshing.
