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. By Bertjan Pots via Reference Library.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.)
