N.E.E.T.

Check out my ad in this month's issue of N.E.E.T!
I'm standing in the Pacific Ocean.

Chandelier




This one took my breath away.
I'm a sucker for chandeliers, brass glow, imperfection.
From etsy seller fabulousmess.

Etsy score


"Love is a good idea" sweater from shoppingisafeeling.
I can't wait to see A.K. rock this.

Last Supper




"Since 1976, 879 people have been executed in the United States, 82 percent in the South,
399 in Texas and Virginia alone. Prisoners are generally allowed to choose a last meal."

The chocolate chip ice cream was requested by Timothy McVeigh.
By Celia A. Shapiro from Mother Jones.

Etsy lament


Please relist this, nanopod.

Gold sweater


I see M.T.C. around (doesn't everybody),
so I guess it's no surprise that we'd have the same sweater in our vintage
shops.
Love how he compares it to the floor in the MGM Grand's "Gold Room."

Teen Guide to Homemaking


Out of print, very rare edition from 1967.

Diana Rigg as Emma Peel.

Drawings


Young Matt Dillon is superhot and especially in this drawing by Maria Forde.
I don't think Crispin Glover has ever actually made this face.

Etsy find




Skydiver trophy.
From eyeformodern.

Lederhosen



An unresolved conversation: Is it okay for Asian people to wear dashikis?
If not, what about for Black people to wear cheongsams?
Also: is it okay for white people to wear either?
And can I get away with wearing lederhosen?
From etsy sellers domestikate and scarletbirdvintage.

Paper Heart


Adorable. I can't wait to see this.

Embroidery

Porcupine quill shirt


Via Museum of International Folk Art for a lecture titled "Men's Power Dressing."

Past season shoes




Fashin fags has a great thread: past-season shoes that you're still drooling over.
I'd add these, by Balenciaga and Pierre Hardy.

Plant wall


I don't know if it's the tropical blood in my veins, but I love the idea of plants indoors.
Via bltd.

Tiny blazers



Came across the most amazing stash of shrunken little boy's blazers.
In my shop right now.
Worn with Alexander Wang blouse, Quail shorts, and 
Calvin Klein sandals that I wore (out) all over Japan two summers ago
and just rediscovered at the back of the closet.

Afghan sauces


Dipping sauces from East & West Gourmet Afghan Food.
Had some of their potato stuffed bolani with garlic mint cheese at Y. and R.'s place.
And by "had" I mean "totally stuffed my face."
