CULTURE: What's Zo Wearing? Sunday, November 12

Secret Photoshop Agent and resident Fashion Icon zoetica often has the staff at SGHQ asking, "What's Zo wearing?" Her unique and eccentric style is a rallying call to those who suffer from mainstream malaise. Each week, she tells us how she's combined ordinary items to create her extraordinary look. Undaunted by unusual combinations, "What's Zo Wearing" is SG's answer to middle-of-the-road makeover shows.









Zo Says: Feminine + utilitarian is a good way to describe this. What could be an ultra-girly dress is paired with jewelry made from scrap instead of a cameo, and boots instead of mary-janes, as one might do in a dressier mood. I'm fond of making pendants from odd objects - electronics, mechanical clock bits and the like. Most things of a reasonable size can, in fact, be hung from your neck. Try this.

LA weather has robbed us of a real fall this year [again], but I am really diggin' autumn colors for clothes, hair and make-up: metallic copper, brown, deep reds and their variants.

sweater-coat - $3 - Goodwill
dress - $14 - Ross
socks - $6.50 - Old Navy
boots - $30 - Los Angeles Downtown Fashion District street vendor
necklace - 50 cents. made it from an electronic component and ultra suede chord

Zoetica Ebb is a painter, SG style technician, make up artist, alt. model, photgrapher & occasional cosmonomad. Born in Moscow, Russia, she was raised by a troup of gypsy scientists from space, who coldly sold her to an American technological research facility in 1992. After a daring escape, she graduated from the LA County High School for the Arts, retreated into the rumored underground atelier where she studied with the much-revered fashion guru Madame Von Kuntzertag, followed by a brief stint at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She's traveled the world, gathering fashion expertise and is thrice certified as official Finesse Monitor to the Khan throne.

She is super cute, but what was with leaving red eyes in all of the pictures?

yarr, the theengs i've seeen with thess eyesss! If you only knew, you'd undarrrrstand why they glow the color of blood, lassy.

I'm the queen of having red eye in photos. My husband gets so aggravated I've been told to quit looking at the camera.

how to get people to compliment you on SG without actually being a suicidegirl, lesson 1.

I think it was pointed out because you're a photoshopper. How's that saying go? Something about the cobbler's children needing new shoes.

Anyway, very nice outfit. Ross is awesome for not so ordinary cast-offs good for combining with other interesting pieces.
