Beauty / Accessories Frocky Jack Morgan's Vice
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Fri, Jul 16, 2010 at 9:00 AM
Julia Barbee of Frocky Jack Morgan is known for fanciful dresses and accessories from vintage and found treasures, for taxidermy and tiaras, and now, cologne. She's now selling Vice at Stars, and her description of how it came to be is not your typical exercise in perfume hyperbole:
a unisex menagerie of dark sensual liquids and wafting murky smoke derived from things we are both attracted to and repelled by. it is the commercial version of what i am practicing as my master's work, a performance based on examining my body as a fragrant attractor. this summer i am manipulating odor through what i eat, choosing to explore a vegan diet, seeing how that changes body odor, how these oils i'm mixing change on my skin based upon my exercise activity and what i'm consuming, and how my body's shape changes in reaction to all of it. i'm collecting odor in various forms for use in my master's mixtures, something i would not sell to the public for commercial use. as a form of documentation, i'm keeping a running diary of what men yell at me from the street, attributing that to attraction and smell, mixing pheromones and fragrant oil. as a shift in society, most notable in los angeles to me, i am aware of the traditional female desire for the male gaze in the general public, but also as people indulge in narcissism everyone seeks the gaze of everyone. the next fragrance i will launch will be named after one of these more amusing cat-call experiences, simply titled: "jesus! you're a picture" (said the blind man). i had the opportunity to exhibit vice this spring and i poured it on the wall of a gallery. i mixed in chemical pheromones and some of my own sweat collected on a day when i was on a walk and a man honked at me and yelled "pussy horn!"
I'm now looking forward to a fragrance called "Pussy Horn!" too.
In related news, Barbee's also been making bags, available at Marie's Boutique. I love these colors:
