When Photography Works

I love illustration for expressing concepts and style (and a million other things), but I love photography for documenting moments in time. I love a photograph that can do what illustration cannot. This picture of CBGB's by Joseph O. Holmes captures a very important place that no longer exists, because what was a legendary rock club is now a men's clothing store with ridiculously priced clothes. It's kind of a shame, but I have to be careful to not become one of those people who talks about how great New York used to be.

*The first time I was at CBGB's I was 17 years old, I had just moved to New York City to go to Parsons, and I was pressed up against the stage watching as the lead singer from FOETUS reached out over the audience and grabbed my boyfriend Will's head. I was horrified and mesmerized. And I probably went back for more over 100 times.

Christmas is coming...

...and isn't this a lovely Neiman Marcus catalog cover illustration?

Seasonal fruits

I have moved on from watermelon and cantaloupe to apples and pomegranate. I guess soon enough I will be onto oranges and grapefruits.

Blissful Boo

Happy Monday! Do something that makes you feel good today!

6'1"

So what if I would be 6'1" in these snakeskin print boots. They are $174 at Nordstrom. Here's my thinking: It's 45 days 'til my birthday. That's $3.86 I would have to put away every day. Seems reasonable.

Right? I mean, what could be a better 39th birthday present?

Welcome to my fall wardrobe.

This drawing goes out to all my sisters who, like me, buy the same thing over and over when they go shopping. Long live the black legging!

Pop + Music

I have a thing for little radios but they are hard to find. I came across this one and decided to order it from Amazon ($24) along with a hot air popcorn maker ($17). When I was checking out, I learned that I had earned points from Amazon so I am getting both of these items for freeeeeeee!

Popcorn and THE DOVE 105.5 at my house!!!

Role Model

Look at that poor little squirrel on crutches. What a nice, unselfish pig.

Nesting and Treats

I came across this illustration today and it made me LOL. I LOLove when that happens. In this illustration, Nino is very happily and busily baking brownies for his mama. Now that it's October, we are nesting.
