Jess: I feel like a sad whale.
C: Now you should feel like a happy whale being lifted by a group of happy birds.

Dorothy Lee

There are so many great things happening with Dorothy Lee's Fall 2008 collection.

The real summer heat hasn't even hit Portland yet and I'm already fantasizing about black opaque tights, lace up stacked heel oxfords and baggy cardigans.

Mmmmmm. Fall fashion.

Denslow's Mother Goose

I had a dream last night that I found an original version of Denslow's Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes circa 1901 for $15.95. Then I decided that it was too expensive and I passed it up.

I woke up kicking myself over that poor dream decision.

It was a nice reminder of how fantastic his illustrations are.

Check them out.

Jolie Poupée

I'm completely in love with Sylvie Vartan's Jolie Poupée...mostly because it is in french and from the 60s and totally weird.

Also, She covers locomotion. Adorable!

The video is equally adorable.

Irana Douer

Kel sent me a link to Irana Douer's flickr of hand painted pottery.

She thought I would like it.

(I do, I really do!)

Dispatchwork

Dispatchwork by Jan Vormann

Bocchignano, Italy. Group project.

(Legos.)

My idea of foreplay...

Dude undresses chick with heavy machinery.

I love how dumpy that guy is with his big belly and how cute that chicks butt is.

They both add a nice umm...texture to the video.

Mine would be a portainer crane.

Alright already.

I keep running into this dress from clu.

It is supposed to be 98˚ here on saturday and sunday.

I should make it tomorrow.

It is a pretty hot dress that would be perfect for a hot day.

It would be hot squared. So hot heads will spontaneously combust.

Running in circles.

I searched my itunes this morning for a bit of time before settling on Stina Nordenstam's "The World is Saved" album. It was one of my favorite albums in 2004. Still holds up well today.

It seemed like very appropriate match for my baked egg and roasted asparagus breakfast.

I sat down to eat, listen and read the wiki on Michel Gondry.

Oh, what is this I see? He directed the Stina Nordenstam video for "Little Star."

(Any girl infatuated with Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet will remember this song. The breathy, sweet, girly, warm-fuzzy song that played after Tybalt is killed and Juliet is wanting Romeo to come, and she wants for him to be cut into little pieces after he dies and make the face of night heavenly. That everyone will be in love with night, and not the garrish day. I'm just saying...)

Ch-Ch-Check it out. Not a great video but definitely good for some old fashioned reminiscing in the morning.

(Yes, she is Swedish. I actually don't think I'm allowed to listen to anything outside of that region anymore.)

AHHHHH!

Feeling a little stressed lately.

Making me happy today....

Faces In Places!
