Hot air balloons
I'd love for Woody to have one of these tiny hot air balloons.
W: "You mean you can trap air, in a ball of color, and fly away?"
It would blow his mind.

Favorite blog
The Art Law Blog is terrific.
I'll create a blogroll someday,
but occasional shout-outs will have to do for now.

Wetsuit season is officially over.
I can't wait to wear this awesome one-piece.
The colors and the stained glass part made me think of Gilbert and George.
From seller triplegemini.

Orange and gray
These are the sports uniforms of the future.
Orange and gray with a touch of blue.
By Rani Jones, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti and Stine Goya.
All from Farfetch.
To Die For
One of my favorite house tours of all time.
From the rhino head trophy
to the "Meat is Murder" butcher's block
to the Mary Ellen Mark twin photos
to the dueling sword ashtrays.
Tone-perfect but unpredictable.
From a 2003 issue of the sadly deceased Budget Living. (Time for a revival?)
Was at A.'s a few weeks ago and found an old, dusty stack of copies.
More pics here.
Icons: What do these women have in common?
Did you know these are the only three women ever
to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director?
And yet: only 20 percent of women are willing to call themselves feminists.
Why does that label feel so old-school when it's still so appropriate?
Top: Jane Campion via Film Archive.
Middle: Lina Wertmüller via Corbis.
(Her full name is Arcangela Felice Assunta Wertmüller von Elgg Spanol von Braueich!)
Bottom: Sofia Coppola via Shawn Mortensen.
Speaking of Sofia, I don't usually wear long sleeve t-shirts, but I have a
soft spot for this one from the 90's by MilkFed, Sofia Coppola's clothing line.
Shorts on their way across the country.
Museum china
The teacup is gilded with the words:
"Dispirited after a dreary day, with the prospect of a depressing morrow."
It's a quote from Proust.
Porcelain (all under $20) from one of my favorite places, the Museum of Jurassic Technology.
Explosion
"The Rush to Patent the Atomic Bomb":
A great NPR interview from 2008 with my oldest friend
(not most advanced in years, but the person I've been friends with the longest).
I can't remember where I found these images.
Houses at Night
I keep trying to get A.K. to go on a night walk with me
to collect succulent clippings from other people's yards.
I can't remember the last time I aimlessly wandered in the dark.
By Todd Hido via Things of Random Coolness.
UPDATE: Don't know why this didn't occur to me.
Looks so much like the cover to the Yo La Tengo album
"And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out"
by Gregory Crewdson.

Outfit detail
These two items were laying next to each other on the floor.
So, I decided to wear them together.
Shirt: vintage, from etsy seller cheepvintage.
Skirt: made from old sheet last night while my heart was being broken.
(The Chicago Bulls were robbed.)
Hearts on etsy
The simple red heart is so classic.
The most recognizable symbol in the world?
Shoes from DejaBlonde.
Fabric from pomadour24.
Bowl from luuvlyladdy.
