carine roitfeld, anna wintour, kindly step aside -

hell, i think we deserve a cover somewhere . . .

that's what landis said (trois) -

I would rather not be the good example.
I would rather be the exception.

i think it's pretty self-explanatory. the world has plenty of people ready to step up and raise their hands about how good they are. about how straight and narrow, or right down the middle, or pristinely green, they might be. plenty of people ready to be held up as an example, to compare and contrast.

pass.

i think the world needs more contradictions. more gray areas. more less extremes. and more happy inconclusions.

does any one else feel like it's one side or the other? black or white? britney or miley?

i just want to live in the happy real world, where you can be born a republican, become a democrat, and still not think mccain is the devil. or that obama is god.

i want to, maybe, let it be known that it's ok
to not land
on either
side.

or plant one foot squarely on either side,
and just be.

love, pit bull style -

so there grr was, just minding her own business,
and avec clambered up on the sofa,
curled up,
and shoved her head UNDER grr's,
grunted, and fell asleep.

aspiration/inspiration?

this photo . . . flawless.
their marriage? must be pretty close to that as well,
together as long as they have been, in the industry they are in . . . a testament.

so while everything about this moment (her headscarf, the swimsuit pattern, the dog (!), his buddha necklace) is hypnotic in it's language of aspiration (this is our moment, this is our life, this is our statement), it's the reality that has endured that is the real inspiration.

avec tim, et grr -

mr blue eyes,
and his coterie.

(i am not so much the avedon, as the weber of the household.)
