<3
The wedding weekend! 10.10.10 all evens for my sister Sarah & her beau Simeon. Thirteen years together, 3 fun & funny children and a house full of love and light and memories and energy. How sweet that they should want to party with their nutty kids and friends and family after all this time. I’m [...]
You know the scene is very hum-drum
I was talking all-time fave raves with my pal Chris over dinner the other night. We’ve been friends for a good ten years or more, meeting as one did in the late 90′s through a shared interest in Belle & Sebastian. We were talking about upbeat pop songs that make you feel the same way [...]
Bright lights, big bulbs
I recently moved house, working out that it had been 25 months since I’d slept in my own bed. Sounds more exciting than it was. Maybe. So my mind is wandering into interior design, more than I’ve allowed it to for that many months, trying to suppress my nomadic urges for a spell. The above [...]
WWVB/BSJD?
A few years ago I decided as my new year’s resolution to cut out publications in print and online that had a negative vibe. Mostly this meant claws-out fashion sites and celebrity culture magazines that I perused when bored or in grocery store check-outs. This was around the same time that my old housemate Flippe [...]
Fate for Breakfast
Photograph by Samuel Hodge My four year old nephew, Archer Yves, held upside down by yours truly at my birthday breakfast a few weeks back. Not so great with birthday parties, I made sure mine was over by midday, inspired by an Art Garfunkel record.
The planets align so rare
Thirty yesterday! Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s (below) Oval Composition with Abstract Motifs (1919) and Sonia Delaunay Dubonnet’s Prose du transsiberien et la petite (1915-16), a walk through the Botanic Gardens, highland scotch with rad girls at the club bar with a crackling fireplace and a unicorn atop the mantle, Mikie’s latest mix on repeat, holding a hand [...]
Vagabond
Since August 2008 I’ve been a vagabond. A girl with a hell of a hefty bindle. For two years now I have been either traveling or simply just not wanted to put my feet down firmly enough for a print to appear. Instead, there may as well be a colourful puff of smoke (I’m thinking [...]
Lazy ways
I forget about Tracey Thorn periodically. When I was a kid, my sister adored Everything But the Girl and I remember making a cassette with them on one side and The Style Council on the other, the cover was something ripped out of a late 80s issue of The Face, naturally. It must have been [...]
Flaming arrows at the Champs Élysées
Butt nothing, I enjoyed that short article about Denham Fouts, the international hustler with his “eyes set on different levels, as in a Picasso painting.” Fouts died of a malformed heart in 1948. The image is the closing still of Alice in Acidland (1968). We’ll get to it later.
