I have always loved native american headresses
and i have plans to create one ALL IN BLACK
Black Feathers
Black Tassles
Black Sparkles
Black everything,
(With possible gold touches)
I am so excited to get started when i get some cash
It is going to be SO good, hopefully.
1930's Paris
That is where i would most like to potter today,
Thanks mostly to this tv series.
On the Earburner: Top Hits of the 1930s
Preoccupations
SISTERS BURN
bloody exciting new collective wonder.
Casual Poison
Males featuring,
the butcher from Borough Market and other tales
Borough Markets delights in general
Gallery sitting

Olden Haze
myparentswereawesome
My vintage photography enthusiasm is reasonably clear,
and as such people often recommend bits to me.
Laura, an incredible femme,
pointed me in the direction of that today, and as suggested i sure did like it.
as such I decided a little nod to the olds was in order, so here are a couple of other gems
50s Patio Party
as with many vintage photographs i find the appeal less about the technical, more about subjects and ideals
I would definitely NOT mind slow dancing awkwardly with a boy at a patio party,
not enough awkward dances with crushes happen any more
Animal Values
Duck in a tub, a ha
A classic image, but delightful
If i was in a girl band (please) then i would love a shot like this.
Though you see hundreds of images like this i find each one fascinating for faces and details.
Images found HERE
On the Earburner : LAST FM revival
(muddled with The constant sounds of the peckham builder with a devilish penchant for smashing EVERYTHING)

'Tis not only the pumpkin with lantern potential,
so i have decided to get crafting.
I look forward to the green squashes most.
Tried the tiny ones out this eve,
(believing myself to have come up with a truly lovely inspiration in the shape of mini lanterns)
however, technical errors with sizes and tea lights stood in my way
SO
We ate them instead,
simple and delicious
roasted squash is the perfect autumnal evening snack

My First Music Video
I made this when in my first (third of five, technically) year of university,
I just found it, thought i could share it
Its pretty quaint, There is so much i would change now,
but we did do the whole thing in two days so i guess we deserve some credit

Red Drapes
This is the band of two of my favourite people in the entire world,
with the help of a couple of other treasures.
They just started a blog,
so this is a nod to their blog
They are working so hard at their dream, and I love that, and them.

Marc Isaacs : Lift
Francis, a delightful friend of mine, highlighted this on his book of faces a while back,
i just watched the whole thing.
Its really great, seriously.
FUTURESHORTS
have some great short films,
go look at their youtube channel.
Phillip Van: Dunny
Jamie Thraves: I Just Want to Kiss You
Those two are both quite amusing,
i am not in love, but sure i am amused.
i have a lot more exploring to do.
expect a few of these to crop up soon.
I am so interested in creating short films at the moment,
i have several ideas
All i need now is a video camera, and some willing participants

I was OBVIOUSLY going to adore these
Left PIllow : Here you will dream of endless kissing
Right Pillow : Here you will dream of people you admire exposing your fraudulence
They have been a wonderful wallpaper on my appletree for a couple'weeks.
I think about the (right pillow) statement a lot
She writes perfectly to my tastes
HER WONDERFUL WEBSITE
(HA. the entrance page)
AND THEN
This leads me on nicely to an age old project
i only just discovered this
wish i had known about,
SO you should read all about it,
Look at as many of the project submissions as you can
i like ones like
- take a photograph of a scar and write about it
- recreate a poster you had as a teenager
- Make the saddest song
- Cover the song "don't dream it's over"
- Make an exhibition of the art in your parents house
(i think that is a genuinely inspiring idea on several levels)
- Make an educational public plaque
etc.
after a day of listening to a lot of my fathers,
that is my best piece of advice for you for this one.
BEAUTIFUL STUFF
Personal P.S
When i wasn't doing this i spent a little time with a wee one today
Dylan is totally cute,
and i really don't use that word lightly
I taught him to take a photograph
(bare baby Eggleston)
(lets hang out?)
Yvan Rodic
aka
Yvan Rodic
aka
FACEHUNTER
I don't love ALL his photo's
these few appeal to me
i think it is about the subject more for me with him.
the face hunts are good inspiration
