my husband was just named the head of ecommerce for love culture,

a booming fashion brand based here in l.a.

-

as a result, 

we traveled up to sf 

and moved all his world back down into ours.

-

after a year and half,

it's a huge relief to have him home full time,

not just on weekends.

-

-

here i am,

in front a mural in the mission district,

waiting for tim to get the shot

before we get our tacos from La Taqueria.

-

the angels,

fast asleep.

-

gay pride in sf,

at zuni cafe,

with nicki and gang.

-

-

gay pride in l.a.

at wonderland,

wondering if i'm just "over" the whole circuit crowd thing.

FASHION TRANSCENDS : moments from McQueen at the Met

-

on the edge of central park 

-

-

even the met's posters seemed to portend the experience

-

-

the museum where i took yoga as a child,

and wrote poetry in classes in the medieval rooms

-

-

hosts alexander mcqueen's work,

a personal hero of mine.

-

-

i literally cried from the first room,

where the mannequins were more like creatures,

speaking of his mind and mourning his loss:

-

-

the "oyster" gown from the shipwreck collection,

made from 260 yards of circular cut chiffon. 

a victorian bride,

beached by alexander's imagination.

- 

one of my favorite gowns ever,

live,

before me:

-

-

the accessories room was a treasure box of oddities,

each more sculptural than the last:

-

-

scottish nationalism,

rape and royalty,

all rolled together.

-

you were NOT supposed to take pictures.

but how could i resist?

the details alone called out to be captured!

-

rumored to be the last design he touched before he took his life,
