I love, love, love All Saints clothing, accessories, everything. If you need to bribe me for anything, this is probably your best bet, aside from expensive camera equipment and novelty ukuleles.

I love X-Factor. Last season, I was won over by 2 ridiculously fun performers, twins John & Edward. This is my tribute to them, in medium format film, thanks to some hairspray and my assistant for the night, Rene.

While in New York last month, I went to the Marc Jacobs accessory store, a great place for souvenirs and fun accessories. I was looking for a larger, sturdy bag to hold my DSLR and a few lenses, but I wanted something that would double as big purse—my Crumpler and LowePro bags are more function than fashion. A pair of duffles behind the counter caught my eye and I asked to see one. I saw the label declaring itself a ukulele bag. I love bags that multitask. This one was coming home to California with me. The MJ salesman said I was the first person to buy the bag who actually played the ukuele.
