Debbie who? Tina’s my new wave pin-up girl…

Tina I LOVE you!!

Tights in mimosa of course. All from Etsy.

The colour of 2009. I didn’t know that Pantone colours were available as paints. Goodbye Farrow and Ball….

Who is Sissy Vian?  She seems to have a way with styling and interiors. Too bad I’m sworn off fash mags in the meantime. This whole story is delicious.

Through the pouffs of lace and tulle, the strapless chiffon and wide-eyed starlets comes Tilda Swinton. Thank god.

“..the harshness of electricity is  transformed through the magic of paper back to the light of our origin – the sun – so that it’s warmth may continue to fill our rooms at night…” Isamu Noguchi

That navy jacket…..

In crowd-gazing terms the Monterey Pop Festival just pips Jazz on a Summer’s day to the post. West coast prep meets burgeoning far-out-ness and it’s just the right mix. By Woodstock it was a  little too hairy and by the Isle of Wight you’re in complete tie-dye, freak-out territory.

I’ll sit with Michelle Phillips and watch Peter Tork and Ravi Shankar any day. Pennebaker’s film, Monterey Pop, is one of my favorites.

Sorry for the bad quality. Screengrabs from YouTube - go watch!

Unlike last week- snow frolicking and a little trip away - this week has been desk-bound, emotionally draining and kind of unpleasant.

Luckily I’m a big subscriber to the Saturday Night Fever “dance it out” theory. It loosens up the limbs, recalibrates the brain and before you know it you’re three songs in and the week is a world away.

The amazing space dance routine is from a one-off TV special Raquel did in 1970.

So tonight I am off for dinner with friends courtesy the Booyah Cook. Surely the best tonic for the blues…
