Karen Walker

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

I love Karen Walker - so wearable! I’d ‘do’ every single one of these outfits (maybe except the balaclava look) and both jackets on the left are divine! When I was in Australia last it took all my willpower not to buy a pair of her exaggerated round sunglasses.

She’s such an antipodean beauty too…

Stripes and checks and plaids and hats and laptop. Makes me so proud!

I used to love watching The Golden Girls when I lived with my sister. I’d get home from school at the same time as my nephews we’d fling ourselves on the couch to sing along to Thank You For Being a Friend, marvel at the peachy beige interiors and the silky robes worn at the midnight coffee sessions, and giggle at Sophia’s innuendo.

I also really like John Currin.  He was so much on my mind when I went to New York with Nicole that when we sat next to Poppy King in a cafe I thought it was Rachel Feinstein. There you go.

Hair

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

It’s about that time of year that I wish I had honey-coloured hair…

Oh yeah, and was french. I’m “adopted” British though so that’s the next best I can get my hands on right now…

I saw this beautiful girl on Backyard Bill

and remembered that she was also on the Selby with this great array of shoes on painted white floors.

This shot has been living in my “white floors” image folder, which sits between my “black floors” folder and my “natural floors” folder. Which will win??? Today white is in front by a whisker…

I wish I looked like Jen in tight jeans and those boots. Instead I’m sitting in an XXL Hamnet slogan tee over leggings watching Nollywood shorts on Youtube.

Sex at Maggs

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Really enjoyed seeing these William English photographs exhibited at Maggs last week. William took several photographs of Vivienne Westwood in the Sex shop in early 1975 when he was a budding film student, eager to get into a London school. The idea backfired when he produced the portfolio, as the entrance examiners assumed he was only interested in making pornography.

Mr G interviewed William last week.

Flickr favorites

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

I noticed I have exactly 5 pages of flickr favorites, not a photo more, not a photo less. It won’t last long so I’m posting for posterity.

Debi

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Having a massive Madge fest now. And I LOVE Debi Mazar. How young? The date says 88. Can this be right??

I’m sorry I don’t love the now you Madonna, because I LOVE the then you…

OK off to flick through Maripolorama in bed.
