To Go: "Lovesick and Vanishing" by Kime Buzzelli (L.A.)

Sometimes it's good to go visit Show Pony just to pretend you're walking into a Joanna Newsom song. The little pink Echo Park boutique is full of vintage princess dresses and clunky jewelry with shiny stones, and you might even find some really magic stuff like a pair of beaded clogs with tiny houses carved into the heels. It's like the wardrobe closet you should've had on hand for every make-believe game when you were wee, only with all these amazing indie designers like Judi Rosen and Miss KK. And they sell zines, and we automatically fall in love with any store that sells zines.

The owner of Show Pony is Kime Buzzelli, whom you may have spotted in the latest issue of Venus Zine (its "Store of the Ish" column featured Show Pony, gorgeously photographed by the awesome Meghan Quinn). Kime's got a solo show going on right now at New Image Art Gallery; it's called "Lovesick and Vanishing" and runs till April 15 (so no time to dawdle). According to her artist's statement, the paintings are "a colorful mind explosion of feminine fantasy," making us feel like we're stealing a peek at a bunch of dreamy-beautiful drawings in some girl's secret sketchbook. (And never ever have we seen such fantastic eye makeup in art, by the way.)

For some of Kime's work in wearable form, check out her Etsy shop. Of course we want the deer t-shirt most of all.
