Strange Things Will Happen

My parents recently unveiled that our annual summer vacation (which usually consists of a week trip to some kind of cabin, camping spot, or ranch) will be taking place in Montreal and Nova Scotia CANADA this year...

Sequence

I can not get over this shoot by my sister, Joy Newell, entitled "Decade"...

Simply revolutionary.

Werthy

I have known of model-cum photographer/videographer Ellen von Unwerth from the time I first started religiously obsessing over fashion.

Her name would always pop up here and there, from time to time, and I would enjoy her photographs with great pleasure while the memory would leave footprints in my brain, and a curious air that only comes from a certain stroke of genius ala someone like Annie Leibowitz, or Steven Meisel.

I fell in love with her when I saw her video "Wendy Bird" for a previous Erin Fetherston collection...



I recently realized her iconography when I found a site which categorized all of her photographic contributions A-Z...

Goodness!

I can not even fathom how someone can achieve that much in one lifetime, as I personally know how much the production of a single shoot can weigh on a cast of people. I can not believe the hundreds of concepts, locations, models, actresses, etc that Ellen von Unwerth has covered, worked with, conceptuatlized... yet she still manages to surprise us every time.

Enter/Exit

[I am becoming very wary of school.]

Spring is in the air, and I am simply going..no where.
It is time for a vacation, before my lifeguarding job gets hectic this summer!
Luckily, my boss announced to me that she would most likely be giving me weekends off this summer, which will leave me plenty of time...

Now what to do with it...

The House of Elliott

A couple of years ago, when my family wasn't off so well in the finances department, I recieved a DVD set as my "big" gift for Christmas. It wasn't that I exactly detested it, rather I was expecting a year pass to disneyland, UGG boots, or some other detestable of-the-moment gift which would have expired easily within a years time.

Said DVD set sat on my shelf for 3 years, until I moved out and exhausted every movie purchase that I currently own. Last week, I pulled out "The House of Elliott", and popped it into my internetless laptop, and decided to give it a spin. Four hours later, it was 3 in the morning, RLS, and teary eyes that brought me to consent that Momma really does know best...

[Just when I thought British
TV couldn't get any better!]

Goodbye Winter

It is official...

Fall/Winter is over.


I always make the horrible mistake of assuming that fashion dies March 1st...
Not very sartorial, eh?

Here is something to look forward to:
