NAUGHTY COLETTE

To celebrate their 13th birthday, Colette let 1,500 balloons loose into the skies of Paris. Don't you realize that that's like really bad for the birds Colette? As a lover and advocate of birds I have to say shame on you Colette for killing 1,500 beautiful, innocent, Parisian city pigeons.

IN SWEDEN LEATHER IS CALLED "SKINN"

But it can also mean fur, or pelt, or hide. Basically any outer layer of an animal that we viciously rip off their bodies, tan and treat with chemicals, and later use for clothing, furniture, boots... you know, the important things.

I'M ALL FOR LARGE BREEZY BATHROOMS. AREN'T YOU?

No nasty rugs. No cheesy fixtures. No themed soap/toothbrush holders. Not much of anything, which makes it PERFEKSHUN.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT WALL?

Whatever it is, it's just amazeballs, and that's that.

SO AWESOMELY 70S

Gotta love Vera Neumann. Daddy adores a jaunty scarf on a breezy day!

AS IF YOU WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO GET YOUR SIZE!

I like the Zac Posen for Target collection, but I can't get excited because it is impossible to ever get your hands on these in NYC! Don't get me started, don't even get me started.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME WALK ON PINS AND NEEDLES

I sure as hell hope that they're these Lanvin tie pins!

LA JUST SEEMS SO FUN!

But maybe instead of actually moving there I can just snuggle up in my reading chair with some hot tea and Taschen's new book.

STEAL THIS IDEA

Not that it's brilliantly new, but I always get jealous of "one ___ a day" type projects, like the Shipley and Halmos boys have started with their new one-drawing-a-day blog . Let's do one! All together now, girls and boys!

PURDY PWEASE

Buy me a lil' somethin' with polka dots? I promise to be good ;)

DUCKIE BROWN!

So I kind of love the label Duckie Brown, both for their lighthearted name and because they are a another cool DESIGN DUO (hint hint baby).

Side note for baby: like that Longo poster in the background?

TRUE CONFESSIONS: I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF LIGHT BOXES

So these giant light box installations by London street artist Cyclops are like WAY cool in my opinion.

WHY DON'T WE DRAW MORE?

Is it just me or are we relying too much on cameras lately? Come ON people. Stop being so lazy and just start HAND DRAWING all the fashion week looks. It won't take that long, plus you could use a little brush up on your technique.

I TOO HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HAND ROLLING MY CIGARETTES

But then I think about how much work it is and I remember why I buy packaged camel lights... the finest cigarettes known to man.

NOT TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD

But I just keep seeing my jacket EVERYWHERE. I usually wear mine collar-up though... like too-tan guy on the left with stoned eyes, rapist smile, and lots of exposed taco meat.

GET A LOAD OF THOSE GAMS!

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!

Apologies for the sheisty photo quality, but say hello to my Friday shoes!

SMALL ENOUGH FOR THE POCKET OF YOUR SKINNY JEANS

Teeny tiny Minox Leica M3 Digital Classic Camera might be the answer to Daddy's recent yearnings for a "fancy" new camera. Why are small things so freaking fascinating??

I'M REALLY TRYING HERE

But I just don't know if I can come to terms with this one-- it's a romper, according to JCrew, so I'm thinking beach cover up? Nightgown replacement? But then there's a zipper up the back, throwing a wrench into all my plans. Fitted romper just seems weird. And yet... I want it.

AND I LOVE HER HAIR, TOO

Here's a jumpsuit that doesn't scream I'M CRAZY!!!!!

ARE YOU TRYING TO TOUCH MY BUTT?

Stop touching my butt. Just get away from my big butt. I don't want you anywhere near my butt.

IF ONLY I WERE LESS OF A PUSSY

And felt brave enough to wear Bernhard Willhelm's kooky klothes. I'd also have to be kind of wealthy. Brave and wealthy.
So I'll just be over here, shy and poor, wearing plain, stupid clothes until that happens.

THAT'S IT. I'M HAVING NINE KIDS.

So that each one can be a different theme! Just kidding I want all nine of mine to be like "The Dutch Girl." Just kidding again! I don't like kids.
