RAINY DAYS

it's been a very long time since it rained all day. nothing to do but give into it and turn up tapestry.

EASY ON THE EYES

a few more things from around and about that i am feeling inspired by....

THE BLACKEST OF SWANS

i tend to get a lot of flack from a certain person about liking aronofsky films, which i don't like all of them, but this one looks kinda rad. it stars my favorite french actor-vincent cassel-natalie portman and mila kunis. plus aronofsky is engaged to rachel weisz who i like a lot in film. it's ballet and swan lake and ballerinas possible turning into alter ego swans? sign me up!

JUST LET THIS FEELING END

i am typing this with a mega-migraine due to the humidity in nyc being above 80% today. shouldn't a humidity level that high just equate rain? i think so. in the meantime, here's some things that are easing my brain into better thoughts.

IT'S BEEN SO LONG

it's been a while and for good reason. i just moved. nothing tops a ridiculously hot nyc summer like having to uproot and move your life, work, dog and things and then having to reset up camp all over again. but we did it and i really like my new place. pictures to post after it's finished. but for now, all i want is a little R & R on a beach somewhere. so yes, i want to go to there.
(yea, yea i know the glacier isn't the beach, but seriously? that's natural. that's real life nature keeping an ocean's temperature cool. amazing)

SHE'S AT IT AGAIN

taking a break amidst the throws of packing my belongings again, i noticed my girl KARIN has been up to no good (i mean nothing but good) and drawing and creating a little book about two of the the things she loves the most...ROMANCE AND ROCK AND ROLL. she makes some of the most badass romantic drawings around and i can't wait to get my hands on one of these guys. if i was in chicago right now i'd be convincing you that smoking does look cool and trying to hunt down as many candy cigarettes as possible to share with you.

COZY DREAMING

can't wait til i have to use a blanket again.

SOMETHING'S HAPPENING

STEPHEN EICHHORN is happening, that's what. stephen makes amazing collages and cutouts of nature putting together bits and pieces of plant life here and there to create a new and interesting species to come. he meticulously cuts out leaves, flowers, plants and cats (that's right cats) to put them all back together again in a new creation. he's one of the most prolific busy bees around. he just did a series of large scale prints of his cutouts which means that hopefully now people can get their hands on prints of his work, too. MEOW, MEOW, WHAT?!

CAN'T WAIT

leave it to CELINE to come up with my new fall wardrobe/uniform!

i love everything about the top photo. this particular outfit is what i am definitely going to strive to attain. it's so crisp, cool and lady it's great.

SQUIRREL SEEKS CHIPMUNK

today was not looking so great. it's too hot and i am hunting for apartments and printing and sweating. BUT THEN a bright beacon of light came my way in the form of comic relief. david sedaris has a new book coming out (not til september, alas) called SQUIRREL SEEKS CHIPMUNK: A MODEST BESTIARY. what? sedaris takes on telling stories from the point of view of an animal? am i dreaming. did he read my mind? i will wait for it.
