ILLITERATE MAGAZINE
June 2010
An interview I did with Denver, CO based art + culture magazine, Illiterate Magazine!
"When you think of New York City- many things may come to mind- fashion, glamour, soirées, culture, Andy Warhol- but another thing comes to my mind as well- well not so much a thing as it is a person- more likely a living breathing Jem-esque statuette named Darian Darling. Expert Make-Up artist, style icon, blogger, and celebrity confidant hanging with the likes of everyone from Amanda Lepore to Lady GaGa. Don’t you wish you were that lucky?" Read more

STYLE LIKE U
April 2011
Watch as I let personal style website, StyleLikeU take a peek inside my closet and tour my neon Barbie world.
"Some dream of having the life of the most glamorous, stylish blondes throughout history – Darian has chosen to live it. For her, being a redhead and brunette was “fun” for a stint, but paled in comparison to the hyper-seductive fantasy of classic Barbie, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. Admittedly not effortless in her style, everything for Darian has a reference and a scenario, including her surname, which is an homage to the blond transsexual superstar Candy Darling, of Andy Warhol fame."

Close friend of Lady Starlight, Semi Precious Weapons and Gaga herself, there is something special about Darian that stands out and draws you in much more than the circus around her. As a fan and fellow Candy Darling inspired gal I was delighted to chat to Darian." Read More
