daily visitors




these little guys visit me everyday. they are so beautiful! they make a little buzzing sound and are quite the little piggies....i make the sugar water for them & have gone through bags and bags of sugar. it's worth it though just to watch them. in the other window are finches and doves.

there's a ghost on the horizon

tan lines




carolyn murphy & nicholas hoult for tom ford.
everytime i see tan lines it brings a smile to my face. i remember as a pre-teen and teen the fascination of tan lines ... they seemed somewhat sexual, risque, grown-up. even though i haven't been "laid out" in ages i still secretly think tan lines are a little hot.

gentlemen prefer blondes



photographs of marilyn monroe appearing relaxed in a new york apartment nine months before she died were unveiled today after being held in a private archive for more than 45 years. photographer len steckler shot the black & white images of monroe when she unexpectedly arrived at his apartment in december 1961 to visit his friend, pulitzer-prize winning poet carl sandburg. steckler is offering them for sale as a limited edition series called "marilyn monroe: the visit."



individuals


jamie bochert, daphne guinness & agyness deyn photographed by steven meisel for italian vogue.

before/after



i don't think steven meisel is doing madonna any favors with the photoshop. i mean, she's 51 and she looks fantastic - why make her look like a rubber sex doll? i can understand a little tweaking here and there but enough with erasing every ounce of character from someone. i'm not the hugest madonna fan but i think she looks fantastic in the before picture.

mas meets the row


word is that marie amelie sauvé is styling the fashion show for the row for new york fashion week. oh la la.
