Like Mother, Like Daughter
My sister sent me this link to her “elfing” of my mom over the years. The third elf face stood out to me because of the resemblance I see in me. She was a stunner! Look at those pants! And that coat! I wish she had saved those gems so I could wear them now. It makes me never want to throw anything away because I know someday my little divas will want to wear good ol’ vintagewear that I sported in the 2000s.
I still think I was born 40 years too late.
Practicaly Functional AWESOME
Lisa-face asked me to tell her what she wants for Christmas. I thought it was an odd question at first. She pointed out that we generally like the same things and she had to give her moms suggestions because apparently Mrs. Rubinstein is a little insecure about finding the PERFECT thing for her even more PERFECT spawn.
Lisa likes cool stuff. But she is practical too. It can be a tough combo but with a little compromise you can find some stellar gadgets and useful knick knacks
Thank you 2007, AKA “the year of the blog,” for all the rad things you have brought to my life.
All these things are useful. I make no guarantees that any are needed.
Clip His Wings (this doesn’t directly link since this site is stupid. but it’s the little bird paper clip holder)
Happy to Hang Around (their website isn’t loading the actual page right now so a bog is the best i can do)
Hand Soap (literally, i can see Capree being all over these too)
Lego and Drive (there are loads of tutorials on how to make this yourself, fyi)
Concentric Calendar
Jars of Summer ALL Winter Long
Home Slice
All of this stuff is rad, you can’t deny it. Take it or leave it.
Picture Painting
I haven’t been shooting much lately. It’s been making me feel pretty drag. I like creating things and making things. I made a collage for Gaby for her birthday this year. I loved it and she loved it and I think I will continue to make them and start a store on etsy.com too. Maybe I can sell prints of my pictures too, if I get brave enough.
Judd had a shoot for Kotex last week. It was odd to get a request like that since he’s a food photographer. But it was only red flowers for their packaging, so why not? We went to the flower district the day before the shoot and acquired all the red flowers we could find. I think I found me wedding flowers in the mass as well.
Suffice it to say, I got to take home loads of flowers. It was a great excuse to shoot and Christina was my willing subject. Thankfully she was able to be my muse for 30 seconds at a time. It’s not often you can find a model who will sit still for that long and look so perfect!
You may have already seen my the pictures on my Polaroid blog or Christina’s. But just in case you hadn’t, here’s my favorite of the bunch. It made me happy when people said they looked like paintings. For some reason painting still seems more legitimate than photography.
