I FEEL THE SAME WAY TOO, RUFUS


"On one hand, I’m amazed, and in awe, and on the other hand, I’m horrified. I think she should be applauded for her tenacity and her slaying of popular culture, but on the other hand, I do find there is a slight hole there somewhere. There’s an emotional vacuum that is just not picking me up–it’s lost its suction power–and my heart isn’t drawn to it…Other parts of my body certainly are! But it’s just not—I’ve always been more into artists who are really driven by their somewhat volatile personalities and who they really are. For instance, I think David Bowie is great, but I was more into Nina Simone, or people who are who they are. Constructs always make me a little weirded out."
-Rufus Wainwright

DID YOU MISS(ONI) ME?


Buhcuz I didn't miss you.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE:

Dearest Stefan,

You might not remember me. If not, I understand. It was a long time ago, after all, and much of life has been lived between that day and today. Perhaps many lives, many times over. Perhaps you've forgotten that passionate moment between us, and if so, I may actually envy you. Would my life have been easier had I found the strength to put all of this behind me? Certainly in ways, it would have been. But would chocolate taste so sweet, had I never met you? Would a papercut have its sting, a lily its scent, had I never known the joy of your arms, the musk of your sweat, the emboldening shiver of your seductive voice? I don't want to know the answer to those questions, which is why I'm writing to you on this gray April day.


It was April, late April, that day. I'd just had my flute professionally cleaned when I ran into you outside the music shoppe. You bumped into me, and I dropped my folder full of contemporary jazz sheet music. "I'm sorry, pardon my clumsiness," you apologized. And that was all it took.


I got pregnant, Stefan. And while Stefanie is the joy of my whole life, it was bittersweet. I showed her the tattoo of your face every day when she was a baby, before it stretched beyond recognition due to weight gain and had to be lasered away. She lights up every time she hears the tuba, and I have to conclude that she was born with your music in her blood. She also has a lot of moles on her torso, like you.


Has too much time gone by, sweet Stefan, for us to find each other again?


Please reply,

Begging,
Miranda

IS THIS REALLY GAP? OR AM I SEEING THINGS AGAIN?



Are any of you buttheads slightly startled by this f/w 2010 stuff? Cause I AM!
Now if only you could come up with another commercial as good as Mellow Yellow, then we'd really be best friends again... like we were in 5th grade.

YES, I'M STILL TRYING TO LIVE ONLY IN SWEATSHIRT MATERIAL, IS THAT SO WRONG?


Do you think anyone would notice if I started wearing only this Acne sweatshirt dress? I could jazz it up, merchandise it, you know.

ALMOST AS COOL AS MY ROCK COLLECTION


Who doesn't love collections? Sorry, I mean koleckshuns. Anyway check out this awesome blog A Collection a Day. It's pretty much a picture of a new collection of stuff everyday, just as the self-explanatory title suggests. I just thought I'd re-clarify for you guys cause you're pretty fucking stupid.

YOU'RE A STUPID BUTTHEAD


Am I alone in how much I'm loving butthead as an insult lately? ALSO, I am having major flashbacks to Wayne from The Wonder Years saying it ALL THE TIME to poor little Fred Savage.

CHECK OUT MY ROOMIE'S NEW MUSIC VIDEO WITH SOMETHING A LA MODE!


If you're about to ask if I've tapped that ass. Yes, yes I have.

WWW.PATRIKERVELL.COM IS THE NEW ADDRESS TO MY HEART


Patrik Ervell opened his first online shop and as expected it's amazeballs. All the models on his new site (patrikervell.com) are constantly moving, which is so forward thinking!
I'm beginning to think we're twins Patty! Both born to Swedish parents. Both grew up in California. Both went to UC Berkeley. Both live in New York and have awesome menswear lines...

WHAT'S THAT? WHAT NAME DO YOU SEE IN THE CORNER?



MARÜSHKA!
Once in the olden days, Baby and Daddy went to a thrift store in Chicago, and not surprisingly struck gold! (we have what's called the eye) It was an awesome vintage Marüshka print of a red sailboat. She was awesome, and we hung her on the salon style gallery wall in our living room, and everyone LOVED IT. These others I came across today while I was "working" reminded me of old Marüshka, and how pretty she was, and how Baby took her to New York without letting Daddy say goodbye.

DOUBLE HERRINGBONE OAK PARQUET? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING


And as a table top? NO WAY. Made in any size and finish I want? GET OUT.
Custom tables by Pigeon Vintage.

I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN A ROBE GUY


But I've always wished I was! Maybe it's because my morning and night routines are never relaxing and ritualistic. I'm always waking up dead tired, rushing my ass off, praying to GOD I don't miss my train, OR I'm stumbling into my room at night and passing out in my clothes with the lights on. Maybe when I'm 55, and have time to sip tea, read the paper and eat a hard boiled egg in one of those fancy little dishes every morning I will finally want to own one, but right now I just don't feel ready okay? Just DON'T RUSH ME.
thanksforit, fantastic man

I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF MIXING A COZY BED WITH WATER


So good thing this is fake water. And a fake bed. Just kidding it's not a fake bed, it's really just an awesome sheet set called "Lake" by BLESS.

I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF


And the fact that the parquet floors in Stella McCartney's new Milan store just gave me a GIANT BONER. Is Kathryn (Stella's #1 fan) also in love? Oh that's right, you'll never be able to fly to Milan, shop for clothes, and walk on those sexxy floors because YOU'RE A GOLDFISH. I'm sorry but somebody needed to say it.

THIS ISN'T YOUR TYPICAL BARF-WORTHY HIPSTER THEMED BLOG. I SWEAR.


It's illustrator Jean Philippe Delhomme's year-old blog about fashionable and cultural events in NYC and beyond, The Unknown Hipster. Just saying, this hipster is a FAR CRY from the trashy neon-wayfarer-Navajo-boot-wearing idiots we've developed such a salty attitude towards.

"WORK HARD, PLAY HARD"


Is there any WORSE, more DOUCHEY-SOUNDING phrase (or any variation thereof) than that? No!
Regardless, I wouldn't mind playing in this outfit after a long, hard week of work.

SWEET TOOTH?


Baby can't remember where she found this, but it's a candy wrapper clutch. Amazeballs.

..............WORD.


WORD. That's all I have to say now that I've officially found the perfect worn-in hood-less gray sweatshirt I've been searching for in thrift stores for years now.
Too bad this one's from J.Crew, and fake worn-in, and $98 dollars.
CAN'T I EVER JUST CATCH A BREAK?

I'LL SWITCH TO TEA IF I CAN GET IT IN THIS!


How sexxy sexxy is this ceramic and cork teapot from the MoMA Design Store? It's from a collection of homewares by emerging Portuguese designers, and it's only $25, and it's once again solidifying the fact that Lisbon is CALLING MY NAME.
