Oh, hello.

JGL for VMan, shot by David Sims. I will always remember that magical evening when I not only met but got to dance around with the very handsome & talented actor.

(Included below are some other beautiful shots by the accomplished photographer.)

Flashback

Still life photog Peter Lippman for Christian Louboutin. This last photo is definitely my favorite. How crazy are those heels?!

Mario Testino

He has shot many many D&G and Versace campaigns over the years, as well as editorials for great magazines such as Vogue & V. The last picture is from the new D&G campaign, a definite change from the most recent, over the top, Vegas style ads. These certainly have an Upper Eastside, Gossip Girl vibe to them. Not absolutely in love with the theme but absolutely in love with the shoes, just maybe not red. WELCOME TO FRIDAY! - We've made it!

They Say it Happens in Threes...

Twitter is down. FB is spazzing out, Myspace is done, AIM-unresponsive. I can't work under these conditions! MJ is blasting from numerous computers in the office, let's just call it a half day.

Wait A Minute Mr. Postman

Sending & especially receiving 'Sympathy cards' is almost as depressing as hearing the news in the first place.
Besides that, all of the cards out there have soap opera like slogans & wishes. I wanted to find a lighthearted blank card to send but nope, they all scream "I'm sorry someone died."
What's up with that?

fun!

Highlight of My Weekend:

Got to hang out with my adorable niece. I could honestly play with her all day long & be completely happy.

what a day.

On a lighter note, this made me smile:


that & my promotion. bittersweet to say the least.-while certainly honored.
i can't stay focused today, my mind is racing all over the place.
emotions as high as they are low.
back to work.

nothing but love.

Life moves fast. We all get busy, we become wrapped up in our own routines. But in the end, it's important to make the effort. I never went to VA enough. Definitely should have called more. I will always remember your stories & your sweet Southern accent. I'll remember all that you did for our family, all the meticulously planned dinners you prepared &definitely, your amazing spinach. I'll remember your cards & well wishes & will forever go out of my way to make sure that every important person in my life knows just how much they mean to me as I can only hope you knew as well.
i feel light headed.

Du ar for Fin for Mig

Sometimes I forget how much I really love that song, actually, the entire Dungen album.  I can't help but remember days at the Broadlind while listening to it & it's the sweetest nostalgia ever.  I would really love to see these guys live.

I Need One of These:

That or a parking spot; the lack of parking in LB is downright silly.

ps

I'd like to see this this weekend.

Heart for Haiti

Heart for Haiti benefit was a huge success. It was so nice to see everyone dressed up to help raise funds for our friends' trip. It's Friday morning, I've been the only person in the office since about 8am & am now fantasizing about how much sleep I am going to get this weekend.

oh life part deux

I came home from work today to find that between when I left for work this morning (around 6am,) & got home (about now,) someone had gone out & purchased the ingredients to make them self a bloody mary.  This event followed up from a looong night of drinking.  To you, you are amazing, don't ever change.  Part of me wishes my work offered every other Friday off so I could've partaken in the festivities as well.

The weekend is here & I'm burnt.  Excited, but burnt.  Let's see what adventures this weekend brings, I've made no plans except for tomorrow, the Heart for Haiti benefit.  Classy cocktail benefit for a couple friends venturing to Haiti to volunteer for a couple of weeks.  I should probably stay in & get ahead on preparing the appetizers I've offered to make.  You should all come!

fun

"oh life"

(tequila tuesday)

I generally pride myself on maintaining hermit status or having friends over for a mellow night once or MAYBE twice during the work week. This one has been different though. I have seen 3 of my friend's bands play, 2 great wine nights with friends and finally, after the longest week ever, the weekend is here. Next week I promise you, you will not see me around--except for maybe Thursday, can't miss this guys first show.

in reference to skeletons

We received the new issue of Nylon in the office & I immediately noticed Karen's sweet top. It's one of the amazing pieces from Rodarte except I had only seen it in cream before. Love love love that collection. Alright & I'm done posting about YYYs.

killing time

While waiting for videos to upload or files to be sent, sometimes I enjoy playing with one of the English to French translators. So many simple things can sound so beautiful when spoken in French.
The thunder storm is loud & I'd like nothing more than to be curled up in bed watching Delicatessen.

summer?

Generally I find myself bored with Kate Moss (with the exception of some of her YSL campaigns.) However, when I saw this picture it put a smile on my face. Bubble gum pink hair & cosmic gold makeup. Normally I can't get enough of the cold weather, but peering out one of the office windows at this sad looking day, I'm ready, bring on the CA sun.

skeleton

Love my name
Love left dry
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Wait, don't cry
Love, don't go
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me

Soon comes rain
Dry your eyes
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Skeleton

(why is karen o such a complete bad ass?)
