Setting Goals

During winter I set the goal to perfect the skill of french braiding my hair. Now that I know how to do it well and as my hair continues to grow, braiding hair brings me simple and poignant satisfaction.

This Spring, I am setting a few new goals. Still working on them though.

In the Meantime, here are some paintings by Renoir featuring braids:

look a like

Joaquin Phoenix seems to be "letting himself go" lately. I think it's time someone told him he needs to wash his hair. He is drawing up a strong resemblance to Vincent Gallo.

Meet the Malenas




Gorilla love




If I had one wish today it would be
to hug a giant and gentle gorilla.
If I only had one wish
would it be a waste
to wish just that?

New Fascination...

John Gutmann

After fleeing Nazi Germany for the United States, Gutmann acquired a job as a photographer for various German magazines. Gutmann quickly took an interest in the American way of life and sought to capture it through the lense of his camera. He especially took an interest in the Jazz music scene. Gutmann is recognized for his unique "worm's-eye view" camera angle. He enjoyed taking photos of ordinary things and making them seem special.

YSL SS09 Ad campaign

























This is by far my favourite high fashion ad campaign of the season. The model is Claudia Schiffer. Doesn't she look incredible? It doesn't even look like her. This was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin at the ever famous HOLLYWOOD sign in California.

In the Meantime...

Beautiful bruises
Scary similarities
Self devotion
Sharing childhood truths
Counting change
Steeped tea still tasting like pipes
Wet snow
Heavy heart

Personal Clutter

To rid oneself of possessions. What is really worth keeping in a box tucked away for memories sake? I have an small storage locker in the depths of my sister's condo which will house my essentials when I move Countries. When I look around at my things I am about ready to get rid of it all. Everything except my records, pictures and maybe my fur hat. I've never felt this way before.

I finally tackled a long over due Spring cleaning. Inspired by my minimalist friend, Jeremy's room:












I went from something worse than this:










To something like this:
