nogoodforme Goes Art-tastic: We Want You (or Pictures of You) For Our Photo Show!
If the fashion blogosphere were like high school, nogoodforme.com would've started out like that quiet girl who sat in the back of class, doing her homework and her own thing while doodling Smiths and Cure lyrics on her folder and drawling the occasional smart-alecky comment, kind of like Daria Morgendorfer back in the day. (Curious aside: when the hell are they going to get "Daria" on DVD, man?) These days, though, I feel like we've hit that phase where we're applying to college and doing all sorts of crazy extracurriculars that make car pooling a nightmare and keeps us working at all odd hours and then some. We're way busy, especially since we're busting our arses for our Spirit Animal House party. (COME! BUY A RAFFLE TICKET!) But we've also got other special events in the pipeline that we've been itching to tell you about. Which is why we are totally stoked, excited, ripped, and full of beans to announce that we are curating a photography show at Clarabella later in the fall! And we are even more amped because WE WANT YOU TO BE IN IT.
Here's the deal: Send us digital photos of you wearing your favorite item of clothing. It's really that simple. The picture can be anything you want: simple, glamorous, mundane, artful, abstract, heavily art-directed, utterly plain, humorous, dramatic, goofy, "just a snapshot" or whatever. Let your heart and your eye lead you to what feels right for this little assignment. (Although, please, at least be clothed!)
Send us a digital photo (no higher than 300dpi and about 1500 to 3000 pixels wide should be plenty of image size) to ngfmphotoshow@gmail.com. Give us your name, location (city and state), the name of the item that is your favorite (you know, like "yellow flip-flops" or "my fanciest Balenciaga dress ever.") And for extra sugar credit, give us a small bit about why it's your favorite or what happened to you the last time you wore it.
Our only requirements, besides the aforementioned pieces of information, are that it is a photo, and it is a photo that you took (or someone took of you.) In other words, don't send us 'professional' images from a catalog, another website or whatever that are copyrighted by someone else.
We'll include as many images as we can fit on the walls and in the store, and we may even be ambitious and print up a limited edition catalog. (We're on the road to overachieverville if we manage that!) This photo call is open until September 15, 2008 and it is open to anyone (dudes and spirit animals included), so please spread the word!
We are excited to see what you lovelies come up with!
xo Kat, Liz and Laura Jane
EDIT: We have EXTENDED THE DEADLINE to SEPT. 20, 2008.

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
So excited to see what everyone comes up with!! I have a feeling I'll end up discovery new photos around the shop every day. I can't wait!
