AMOR

Reminiscing.

We were a generation of furtives. You know, with an inner knowledge there's no use flaunting on that level, the level of the 'public,' a kind of beatness- I mean being right down to it, to ourselves, because we all really know where we are- and a weariness with all the forms, all the conventions of the world.

So pretty (it's all about peas in salad. CHOP salad!).

Fraggle personified.


Muse.


My kind of spirit (fake fur, fake fur). Easy style, sexy, fun.

A Top Five

This is by far one of my most favorite essays I've read in VOGUE.

If you click click you can read it yourself.

T. H. White, 1958

"The best thing for being sad, " replied Merlyn,

beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn some-

thing. That is the only thing that never fails. You

may grow old and trembling in your anatomies,

you may lie awake at night listening to the

disorder of your veins, you may miss your only

love, you may see the world about you devastated

by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in

the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing

for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags

and what wags it. That is the only thing which

the mind can never exhaust, never alienate,

never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and

never dream of regretting."

Teachers.

If the heavens were all parchment, and the trees

of the forest all pens, and every human being

were a scribe, it would still be impossible to

record all that I have learned from my teachers.

-Jochanan ben Zakkai, c. 75

Travel

We travel for romance, we travel for architecture, and we travel to be lost.

-Ray Bradbury, 1990

Ed Ruscha

I can't rememberwhen I first discovered Ed Ruscha, 

but I do remember loving every single thing about him right away.

His story, his language, his style, his humor. All of

it made perfect sense to me. I find a strange compass in

what I know to be true. And Ed Ruscha, to me, is true

blue.

The Uncertain Trail, 1986, Ed Ruscha

Australia. Interiors. Light.

There isn't a thing I don't love about this beach house. First, it's
a beach house. The bright white, shots of color, a beautiful surf board
on the wall, aged furniture, quirky prints, owned by a fashion designer.
I have forever been drawn to Australia. Free-spiritedness is infectious.
Truly, there is no better way to be. To live.
