I am in TimeOut NY Magazines “Most Stylish New Yorkers” February 10-16, 2011 Issue.
I was contacted by TimeOut NY Magazine a month or 2 ago to be a part of their “Most stylish New Yorkers” Issue and I was ecstatic! Year after year people would always tell me, “how is it that TimeOut Magazine hasn’t found you for their most stylish New Yorkers issue yet?”. I would just shrug and respond “I don’t know”, I guess I didn’t think it was a big deal that I was never in the issue but now I can tell them all that I finally made it, that Timeout finally found me. It was such an awesome experience and the Timeout staff were professional, informative, and fun to work with. I chose 3 looks and my goal was to show my versatility. I wanted to show the world that I am limitless when it comes to fashion. I wish I had more time to prepare as it was a very hectic week but overall I am happy with the results. I feel so fortunate and am so glad that I wasnt the only one that got chosen for this issue, my friends made it too! My two favorite red-heads of NYC Valissa Yoe and Kerin Rose also made the issue along with my favorite pharaoh Omar Alexander Figeroa.
On page 18 of TimeOut NY Magazine is a photo of me in a Betsey Johnson dress, a vintage hat, and my Dolce and Gabanna Victorian pumps.
Inside you can see a full online story with a run down of my looks, behind the scenes footage, and photos of my friends who also made the issue.

Behind the Scenes
I have to thank my right hand Ingrid Campos for assisting me with my crazy wardrobe at the shoot. I love her. I was so disorganized. She also shot behind the scenes footage with my camera.
1st look. Victorian Pinup.
I showcased this look to show people my pinup side. I am always in cocktail, swing, and wiggle dresses.
2nd Look. Cleopatra in Versace.
This look is my sexier side. I wanted to showcase my love for curve hugging dresses and leopard prints. I also wanted to show my versatility with the wig. I love wigs and have been experimenting with them along with hair pieces for a while now.
3rd look. Clockwork Orange.
This is my tomboy look. I like to do this look a lot, but in different ways. Sometimes I like to look androgynous but still keep my femininity.
My friends who also made the issue!
They couldn’t have picked a better trio to be a part of this issue! Personally, they are and have always been my favorite fashionistas/Fashionistos too!

XOXO
My name is Jasmin Rodriguez also known as Vintage Vandalizm. I am an avid collector of vintage dresses and most people know me for my style. I am also an artist and I try to incorporate all aspects of art in everything that I do. I am an aspiring Designer and I plan to take over the fashion world with my limitless imagination. My whole philosophy on fashion has always been to think outside of the box. My style has no boundaries but I have commonly taken inspiration from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. I love the pinup culture and style however I love being versatile so most of the time I like to clash opposites, different genres of history and fashion and somehow, someway, I make it work. I think the world is too fixated on trends that people tend to forget who they are and what they like..I’m here to help you break free, to help you stand out, to help you create your own style, be your own person, and most importantly see fashion in a whole different light.
You totally deserve it! congrats to you hun!
