On a gut aesthetic level I thought of you immediately when I saw Ali Naschke-Messing willowy photographs {via: Please Sir} Turns out her work is all the more relevant because she uses this ghostly, organic thread -such a fashitecture worthy material- to "deal with the fragility and transience of language and interpretation..." Check out the rest of her work here.

Project Iceworm

2011-01-23T07:31:00.000-08:00

"camp century" was a real project in greenland. it was top secret military project, during the "cold war" was complete with a nuclear reactor to keep it powered. i think it was designed just to see if people could live under the ice, if all hell broke lose. but then it became a nuclear missile test site and eventually was abandoned because of the shift ice caps. it looks like it came straight out of "lost".

Like the look. The model even looks like you David (...though, you've been dressing less like this and more like a high fashion structural cobweb lately)

They have a pretty awesome business philosophy as well:

Apolis, which translates as “global citizen,” is a living and breathing social enterprise that equips and empowers people through opportunity instead of charity. Apolis co-creates products with manufacturers and directly allows the market to determine the future of each item we produce. It is a hands-on model to provide people access to opportunity. We call it "advocacy through industry."

Shinji Turner-Yamamoto : Hanging Tree Project

2010-10-25T11:31:00.000-07:00

Shinji Turner-Yamamoto's hanging tree installation in an abandoned, deconsecrated church in Cincinnati by is one of the most magical art installations I have ever encountered. I want to be in that space, and around that tree. Something about the elevated horizon line and being able to exist in and around the tree roots reminds me of being underwater.

I just bought these ottomans from gaiam.com in the dark espresso finish. I hope that they will offset my 24 foot modern couch nicely. i've eyed them for a while but was never sure I wanted to commit, but now they are on sale, so I figured I'd give them a try. Hopefully they will be sturdy enough to double as extra seating, as well as mobile enough for flexible side-tables.

2010-09-27T14:48:00.001-07:00

Note the desk in the upper left image. I am looking to find a similar "decorative" saw horse base for my glass-top desk. The singer sewing machine bases that currently support it are gorgeous and going to be re-featured as bedside tables. Unfortunately, I think Ikea may be my best bet for something like this as all other sites sell the bases with the glass top.

the style files - all white interior in paris

2010-08-02T14:21:00.001-07:00

I finally found the studio apartment of my dreams on a sleepy block in Brooklyn. It has 20 foot ceilings and really incredible crown molding, reminiscent of a baroque loft in Paris. I don't get to move in for another month, so in the mean time I'll be dreaming about how to decorate it. The space is so open and airy, that I will probably go all white - or as all white as possible. Right now I'm loving The Style Files website and finding plenty of inspiration there, such as this one.

i recently picked these beautiful wildflowers, with purple flowers and thorns everywhere. and when i say everywhere i mean millimeter had thistles on it. i had to wrap them up in my sweatshirt just to get them home. and i got about one block and the thorns started poking out. so needless to say, i had a lot of cuts on my hand. they lasted about a week and then they just died like normal flowers do. and i just haven't take them down because i like thorny things (rebecca's influence). and then today i had the shade down most of the day and when i opened it i was in for a surprise. it had transform into the marvelous floaty little seed pods. something dangerous into something light and fluffy, ying and yang if you will. i'm gonna leave them there until they get to unruly for me to handle, or maybe i'll put the shade down and be surprised.

about a month ago, a professional photographer came in and shot the fashion department garments. i was lucky enough to find my self in that mix. and finally, after much running around between myself and my two professors, we got our hands on them. and they look absolutely gorgeous, if i don't say so myself.

for those of you who are interested in my process, as too how i got here. just let my know. i would think that the garment does a better job of speaking then i would ever do.

Rihanna - why the f*ck not?

2010-06-01T18:52:00.000-07:00

Maybe I've been spending too much time at Crunch gym, or maybe this pop star is really talented, either way - I've been on such a Rihanna kick lately! And why the f*ck not? Her unabashed confidence is addictive and her eclectic rockpopstardom is visually stimulating. And also -- she sounds pretty badass when she says "I had to just put my game face on" in her smokin Barbados accent (...by the way, if you watch that interview - how much does that guy from fuse look like Andy Samburg? It's crazy right?)

Unhappy Hipsters

2010-03-20T18:33:00.000-07:00

I was sure that I had already posted a link to the cheeky blog Unhappy Hipsters a long time ago, which features brilliant captions to the iconic lofty photographs of Dwell magazine. As the folks at Midcentury Modernist put it, "Yes, you can love every interior and still chuckle at every caption." I agree that all of us design geeks could take ourselves a bit less seriously!

"In their nuptial vows, they’d promised to never conceal anything, to remain completely open to one another. But the prison-style shower remodel wasn’t the anniversary gift she’d hoped for."

"Somewhere between the shades of taupe and suspended staircase, they had fallen out of synch."

"Nutmeg sat stoically atop the cushions. Yet her internal dialogue was a cacophony of discordant thoughts, mostly centered on the absurdity of the double Nelson clocks."

"The stale smell of disappointment permeated the room."

All the more relevant as David & I have been teased for years about photos of us like this one from 2007.

Passion Pit: Sleepyhead

2010-03-17T20:22:00.001-07:00

I've been posting a lot of music videos lately. In part just due to lack of time and a private computer to compile more visual posts, but also because I've been attempting to listen to less depressing music in order to be a more upbeat/shiny/happy person -- while that may never happen, I do think that songs like Sleepyhead have an amazingly uplifting power, which I'm game to embrace. This particular song is a favorite because my grumpy big brother likes to blast it full volume when we're cruising around Boston in his gigantic construction truck...
