tracey everything but the girl

aaaah getting all nostaligic now… this was once a favorite of mine, tracey thorn of “everything but the girl”, which by the way took its name from a furniture store ben watts and tracey lived above that sold everything a bachelor could want… except the girl of course (what a great name).  on this track, stacey sings over paul weller’s guitar for style council. by dd

lid twelve: the magazine for the color-blind

liv tyler by david croland

h.g.wells 1939

the amazing pierre clementi and isabelle adjani 1981

stuart sutcliffe and astrid kirchherr – hamburg 1961

we love lid, and publisher/photographer david croland… picked up the twelfth issue for $15 and worth every dollar. beautiful black and white photography and a range that is quite supereb. my favorite is the image of pierre clementi by jurgen vollmer. in a sea of crap fashion mags its nice to have david croland around. well done. by dd

and so who really cares about the stupid royal family and some wedding that will probably cost us a billion? i don’t know a single person who follows this shit… and besides who is this kate moose girl anyway marrying the prince? shes not even dressed properly… by dd
