les petites fleurs sauvages

its true, i have been seduced by these liberty print dunks. 

still debating if i should snag a pair solely for hip hop class and flower jobs.

bones and tangerines.

prada autumn 2008

the raddest colour combination in ages. hit it early for spring 2008. makes me nostalgic for 

when i wanted to dye the underside of my hair the shade of bone nude. but ended up with

blood red instead. all is well, as i'm still connected to my association with blood and bones. 

thanks to emily for that.

light bulbing.

peter pilotto spring summer 2008

i fondly remember the mention of peters name a few years ago, while he was still in school.

happily found this little crop top bralet behind the collection of richard nicoll at opening ceremony.

only in dreams do i have these silver thoughts.

richard nicoll. spring summer 2008. can't stop dreaming about.

lights and candy castles.

portland based band, glass candy. is beatific. 

i reach out for you and our hearts collide.

all are loving this aussie band, cut copy. its digital/disco/pop/synth fantastic.

summer 2008 dance tracks

if thats what it takes, don't let it tear us apart, even if it breaks your heart.

tête de fleur

a photo from fashion wire daily of the hat katie and i created for 

the tulips and pansies fashion show.

with hydrangeas, air plants, amnesia rose petals, lambs ear leaves

and little poof balls for which the name has escaped me.

the only thing left is everything, the whole.

on tuesday, i went to a pre screening of reprise at the ifc. 

'i wish we could just meet all over again'

sten egil dahl, crystal

'the absolute language - to capture all the worlds nuances'

'out swimming with the commoners'

age of antiquity

this imagery is nearly exactly what i was thinking about last summer after watching rome and

i, claudius. thinking of returning to those antiquity print ideas.

i viewed this film a while back, but wanted to catch up on it at least.

an argentine film of a girl born with both sexes. the story compelling and the actress quite good-

i was most struck by the colours and setting of uruguay coastline. it had a salt covered look to 

it- beach comber. 

red sand/black sand

as of late i'm feeling nostalgic for the time in these photos, in santorini, greece.

the ocean and its colours. more on this and the film xxy.

the knowing that the sea is behind the avenue with balconies and bicycles.

Barcelona, a city of perpetual yes-saying begs to be passionately consumed by its 

passengers. My heightened attraction is to experience eating and drinking things that 

really need to be eaten and drunk. Bottomless half filled sangria glasses, garlic and 

olive oil drenched prawns and echoes of laughter of past meals embody the fresh spice of 

Barcelona in a slice. In all its forms, spanish consumables make one feel fiery and alive 

and brings the possibilities of endless days and nights.

when i dream it is the same as being awake

javier tellez, letter on the blind, for the use of those who see, 2007, production still

yesterday i went to see the whitney biennial- and found this video work to

be one of the only few worth noting.

tellezs' work was a recreation of the Indian parable, the Blind Men and the Elephant.

Kind of a documentary filmed at the abandoned McKarren pool in Williamsburg, where

six blind people of different walks were all allowed to touch ula, this elephant. 

all of their reactions were drastically different and some being so thoughtful and spot on.

they made me laugh and cry. 

'are you awake in the world?'

if only we could all touch so thoughtfully and lightly as if we were blind.
