quote of the day
“albert camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
tom robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.
camus clearly got up on the wrong side of the bed, and robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
there is only one serious question. and that is:
who knows how to make love stay?
answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.”
-tom robbins, still life with woodpecker
love : unconditional

THE CIRCUS OF FASHION – SUZY MENKES
want to talk about fashion week dd? the best piece of the season is this article by suzy menkes in the new york times. fashion circus, blogger craze and this kind of thing…
“We were once described as “black crows” — us fashion folk gathered outside an abandoned, crumbling downtown building in a uniform of Comme des Garçons or Yohji Yamamoto. “Whose funeral is it?” passers-by would whisper with a mix of hushed caring and ghoulish inquiry, as we lined up for the hip, underground presentations back in the 1990s.
Today, the people outside fashion shows are more like peacocks than crows. They pose and preen, in their multipatterned dresses, spidery legs balanced on club-sandwich platform shoes, or in thigh-high boots under sculptured coats blooming with flat flowers.
There is likely to be a public stir when a group of young Japanese women spot their idol on parade: the Italian clothes peg Anna Dello Russo. Tall, slim, with a toned and tanned body, the designer and fashion editor is a walking display for designer goods: The wider the belt, the shorter and puffier the skirt, the more outré the shoes, the better. The crowd around her tweets madly: Who is she wearing? Has she changed her outfit since the last show? When will she wear her own H&M collection? Who gave her those mile-high shoes?!…” more here
