Backpack

So classic and comforting. I wanted this once, and then forgot about for a decade.

Might need to replace my Le Sportsac backpack.

2001: A Space Odyssey

". . . a tiny snapshot of the film every second. Each row contains sixty of these frames, representing one minute of film time.

This process continues for the whole movie . . ."

Dream money

I've been having a recurring dream about counterfeit money:

(A.K. says he thinks I'm having money anxieties. A.W. says he thinks I'm worried about seeming fake.)

Anyhoo, it made me think of this article from the New Yorker turned into a book

about the artist J.S.G. Boggs, who draws his own money and then tries to "spend" it.

Various governments have sought to seize and destroy his work, which is often far more valuable

(and subjective value is part of what his work is about) than their face value.

Peruvian tourist

Read an old Teen Vogue while lounging by A.W.'s pool this afternoon.

Urban herb garden

My new herb garden, in the alley.
The ray of sunshine slowly travels across it during the day.

The moss on the far end is for rubbing when I get stressed.

Need Supply

Colorblock dress from needsupply.

UPDATE: Also this necklace. I love dinosaurs.

Felt puzzle dress

This dress, by former Issey Miyake designer Kosuke Tsumara, is basically an Ikea lamp.

Forget H&M capsule collections; this is the future of avant-garde for the masses.

Rock men

Totally not shocked that these have all sold out.

At Trust-Fun.

I don't think these gloves are what most people have in mind
when they use the words "classic" or "traditional" to describe an item of clothing.
But, really, what's more classic than frickin' chainmail?

What would be superpower of the person who wore the first one?
The ability to wash cars quickly and thoroughly?
The ability to look awesome?

Brilliant.

Pale colors

A.K. says he can tell when I'm on my period because
it's the only time of the month when I want to wear pastels.
