You so 2000 and LATE.

Oh, hello

Canon EOS Digital Rebel T11 SLR I think I'm due for an upgrade. (Available in May 09. )

SP in DG

This spread was an editorial shot by Mikael Jansson for the Feb09 "Interview" mag. I've been pretty busy & hadn't found a chance to post it until now. I still enjoy it just as much as when I first saw it and wanted to highlight this D&G collection since it is rare that I find myself drawn to Domineco & Stefano's creations all that often. Oh how fun it would be to dress like this in real life.

Upon discovering this photo on The Sartorialist I couldn't help but wonder what type of person this dude is. It's fun to imagine the personalities that accompany the carefully constructed wardrobes.

Not 100% Sold.

Numbers of fashion blogs are claiming that the LV "Spicy Sandal" is this year's IT shoe. When compared to something as classic & timeless as the YSL Tribute (which held last year's title,) I just don't know if I believe it. Part of me is intrigued by all that is going on here & the other half just finds them tacky. I guess only time will tell what the consumers decide.

I would love nothing more, than to one day create something that resonated and inspired people. Until I figure out exactly my niche, I will continue to soak in and appreciate others' beautiful work, in every medium possible...

woo

I will probably need to see this opening night. Ohh childhood nostalgia.

thanks betsy

While We're on the Topic

Who doesn't love puddle hopping? (esp outside of fashion shows.)

Yes, This Is Happening Right Now

Saturday was Betsy's baby shower.  After all the stress and worry, it just kind of came together and everyone enjoyed themselves and enjoyed our lazy Saturday at the park.

The rest of the weekend was nice as well, I just wish I could've spent more time with her.  The weekends go so quickly; I hate feeling like there's never enough time for everyone.

This made my day:

Hunter Seidman says:
you're so unprofessional
Hunter Seidman says:

Hunter Seidman says:
hang up the phone
Hunter Seidman says:
get your shit together


I am seriously bouncing off the walls today. Too much caffeine, need to consider taking real lunches other than when it's for a meeting. Rory, we still on for tomorrow?
Time to go hang out in the nook.
In other news, the little flat screen in the elevator was flashing some news report about the unemployment rate in CA, how along with 3 other states is at about 10%. So rough and so sad.
So thankful to have this.

Talk about setting the bar.

Heads Will Roll

I know I will have to see this, regardless of the reviews it receives.

In other news, the new YYYs album has proven to be quite a conversational piece in the office. Listening to it seems to draw people to my desk to sit & converse about the fluidity of it or Karen O's batshit crazy personality. This also makes me feel a lot less guilty about playing it every other day. I feel ridiculously on top of my shit & am now kind of bored. Nate & Fish (the two dudes I work most closely with, aside from my boss,) are over at AOL hanging out with the Rejects for their AOL sessions. I had to tell this dude who's been harassing me about his "fantasy musical" he sent over last week that unfortunately, we won't be able to help him with it. I listened to his heart break over the phone. He then asked if I could send his tattered 3-ring binder back to NY and/or whose door he should knock on next. I felt bad and wanted to tell him to keep on trying even though I read his script and know that the answer, no matter where he turns, will be "Pass."

I'm almost finished with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance & hate putting it down to live life. I've underlined so many excerpts and have even considered the fantasy of going on a motorcycle trip with some friends across a couple states. Sike. I still hate motorcycles as much as I always have but it has given me a new understanding for other people's love for them and the freedom they bring. I'm also a little into Dharma Bums and look forward to getting into East of Eden and Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf. Sometimes I wish I could pause everything to just sit & get all of the reading in I'm salivating over. I have this insatiable appetite for literature and the list of books just keeps growing.

I don't know what I'm going to do with out my Lost party tomorrow, it's become my absolute favorite part of the work week. Maybe I will cave & just go to the Pike w everyone-or maybe I will sit at home with some wine and read.

Betsy's baby shower is this weekend, it seems sureal to me. Life is moving fast right now & I just want to get the absolute most out of all of it.

and on one last note, have any of you guys been paying attention to the fashion shows the past couple weeks?? I haven't posted anything on them because there have just been too many amazing collections, I would'nt even known where to begin. Amazing.
