BLAST FROM THE PAST

I think we all feel this sometimes: Stop the World I Want To Get Off. This obscure 1962 musical staring Anthony Newley reminded me of growing up and staring at this picture of the world. The title alone and the clever picture brings back memories of curiosity to explore.

WHO ARE YOU? Loretta Lux

Lux_web_2006_56About two years ago I walked into a gallery and noticed these striking photos of children. Erie, surreal, yet beautiful. I recently was going through my many books, and found the L.LUX book. I am still amazed at the wonderful but spooky photos. Loretta Lux reminds me of dark shadows where beauty and imagination wrap themselves together into a cerebral puzzle.

TREAT OF THE WEEK- Mellow Yellow

Sunflowers

I love to follow the fashion seasons, but also the flower seasons. The flower of the moment is THE SUNFLOWER. The powerful and strong statement flower looks great with their long and lean stems, or cut short for full volume. Enjoy and let the sunshine in.

Goodbye messenger, Hello tote!  Years of hands-free messenger bags was enough. I’m tired of collecting mail. I’m feeling now, and has been for the last 6 months the” hand held tote”. This bag makes me feel stylish, confident and smooth. I’m ready for anything. Go for this YSL classic tote . It never goes away and is from an “it” bag. IT is a wonderful leather with a comfortable hand. Black and Brown are the staples (never on sale), or be smart and go for the color that is on markdown. I went for off-white. Dare to be Different.

I just discovered this new artist. Everyone is talking about his work…from Miami to New York..this artist is HOT!  I want to know more. His wonderful art leads you to a dreamy land of make believe. I do not think he has a coffee table book out yet, but I’m sure there is one in the making. I will run to have his fantasy become mine!

IDOL EYES-COURTNEY, ARE YOU THERE?

COURTNEY LOVE BY MARIO TESTINO
Love, Love, Love !!!! I have been following this chic since the early days of her rock band HOLE. She proved herself as a great songwriter through the years. I recently saw a photo of her that shocked me, but not in a good way. She was way too frail. I know she is a shocker, but this was not good. I need my idol to finally release her next record which has been on hold for months and months. I even went to her book signing many Halloweens ago. The diary is amazing . She was determined to make it and she did. Courtney, please keep making music. We Love, Love, Love,

A oldie but a goodie by FRESH!!! I have been using this grainy, smelly, amazing body scrub for years. It is like a SPA in a Jar. Go for the large size. After a treatment your skin feels “polished and smooth”. Almost like you have a new layer. One warning.: Don’t slip in the tub. Hold on tight to your new experience!
