Until Saturday, my limited knowledge of roller derby was primarily through the artistry of Cory Oberndorfer.  Plus for the past two years I’ve been working with a guy who serves as statistician for the Charm City Roller Girls (CCRG).  So I’ve been very conscious of roller derby in the Baltimore and DC area, yet I [...]

Shaped like a bottle cap, the Hirshhorn Museum had plenty of fizz Friday night.  After chasing around 1001 balloons in their basement all afternoon (more on this later), I hit After Hours in the museum plaza.  It was a fantastic display of DC fashionista combined with drag queens, DJs and full access to the museum galleries, [...]

In case you’re not familiar with Fort Reno, every summer for decades there have been concerts a few blocks from the Tenleytown metro station on Monday and Thursday evenings.  I first started going several years ago and the process worked like this: Drive or metro to Guapo’s for margaritas by 6:30 pm; Pay bill and [...]

The Worn Magazine Team is hard at work preparing for the release of Issue 2 in September 2010! Last Saturday, I drove out to Loudon Couty, Virginia armed with my brand new Nikon D700, a model, and one assistant, to shoot the Men’s Fall fashion spread for Worn Magazine Issue 2. Our small team encountered [...]

There are 11 locations selling the print edition of Worn Magazine, but only Baked & Wired chalk sketches a caricature of Uncle Sam smoking a big J on their front sidewalk.  In the heart of creative Georgetown, this is the place where students at the Center for Digital Imaging Arts break for cupcakes and foreign correspondents [...]

On the evening of July 14, 2009, I lingered outside L’Enfant Cafe in Adams Morgan and kept my eyes peeled for French maids on their way to Bastille Day festivities.  Yet I saw something better:  a red beret.  Joyce and her mother, Anka, walked right past me on 18th Street and after a minute of hesitation (I’m [...]

If you missed the opening, Thursday 6-10pm is your last chance to catch DECOY INK at The Fridge DC.  Southeast DC has plenty to offer that night, including an Art Open House and cap it all off by watching Rudy on the riverfront.  In between all the action, stop by Good Stuff Eatery for another work [...]

Gaia gets around.  For an artist who isn’t old enough to drink, his work is already prolific both locally and globally.  If you wander through his Flickr stream long enough, you’ll take turns in Mexico City, Baltimore, South Korea, New York City, San Francisco, Washington, DC and numerous other cities. Through July 24th you can [...]

The process of making chocolate confections is much more violent than I anticipated.  The whirring tempering machine, the pounding on plastic molds and then banging bon bons out onto a marble countertop seems to resemble miniature bricklaying more than truffle making. swfobject.embedSWF(“http://www.wornmagazine.com/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/player.swf”, “jwplayer-4″, “440″, “354″, “9″, “/expressinstall.swf”, {“config”:”http://www.wornmagazine.com/wp-content/plugins/jw-player-plugin-for-wordpress/configs/440 wide.xml”, “mediaid”:”2954″, “image”:”http://www.wornmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/video349-screenshot.jpg”, “file”:”http://www.wornmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_0349.flv”}, {“width”:”440″, “height”:”354″, “allowfullscreen”:”true”, [...]

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Worn Magazine at the “Scotch Hop” on Sunday.  We were afraid we picked the hottest day of the year to have a party, but thankfully a nice breeze plus Lukas’s famous Jameson punch kept things cool.  It was a success for us and we hope it [...]
