“We Can Do it” Styles
Happy New Year friends! As my first fashion post of this year, I opted for a simple outfit. A pair of Diesel jeans I thrifted from E.Tittlemouse & Co (only $35!!) a white boyfriend t-shirt, a pair of white oxfords and a Tweed 5panel by local Jersey City hat peeps MBS. Friend and photog Greg […]
Annelise Collette
People in Jersey City never cease to amaze me, the amount of talented people living and working here is really insane. I was asked recently if I would ever run out of things to write about, the answer is absolutely not!! Annelise Collette is one of those people; I’ve met her a few times out […]

The Retro Powerhouse Shirt- Worn By Dan Joseph
Last week Damaged Wear and I released “The Retro Powerhouse” shirt designed by local artist Pat Massett. What I love about this shirt is that it is so versatile and can be worn by both men and women! It truly is wearable art. Since you’ve already seen the different ways a chick can style the […]

Lady Jaekutz
Photography by Greg Pallante Barbering is an art form and unfortunately women are still a minority in this trade. Lady Jaekutz, is a female barber that works at Street Fame and she’s made quite a name for herself. Proving to all the naysayers that she can not only barber but she can be at the […]

Yours Immortally
I am the biggest wuss when it comes to horror movies, roller coasters, clowns and most importantly, dead things. When I heard about Antoinette and her taxidermy art business I was beyond curious to hear her story. We set up a time to meet at her studio in Jersey City which is right next door […]

Beth & Cat
I’ve known Cat and Beth aka Lovey and Bubbala for quite some time now. What always struck me when I saw them was how in tune they were with each other. They are just the most amazing people, individually and together. When I met with Eddie to brainstorm ideas for pride week, I immediately mentioned […]
Baruti Libre

Fabian Roman
I go to baseball games for the beer, peanuts, the chance to heckle at random strangers and wear cute sporty outfits, but that’s as far as it goes! As I write this I am sitting on the couch watching the second game of the ALCS (Royals v. Baltimore – my husband told me!), but secretly wondering […]

Jersey City Playboy Bunny
I am not even sure why I am bothering with an intro for this post… I always wondered what kind of people actually read the articles in Playboy magazines since it’s hard to focus with such beautiful women gracing the pages. That being said, Rachael is special; She is smart, down to earth and hilarious […]
The Big Hair Girls go Corporate
Photography by Greg Pallante Anytime I meet someone new, they always ask me how ChicpeaJC started and where the hell I came from…. Even though I moved to Jersey City over 5 years ago, I came out of nowhere. I was never really out and about in the “Jersey City” scene and then suddenly I […]
Bobby Black
I hope my parents won’t read this post! While interviewing Dennis from Damaged Wear he told me about Bobby Black, the senior editor of High Times Magazine who lives with his wife, April, in the Heights. As soon as I heard about Bobby I saw a cloud of smoke in the air with my blog post title “High Times in […]
