Month: March 2014

say what you want, but the nineties were the best time ever. and here is why:

because those gals, all together (christy turlington, cindy crawford, claudia shiffer, nadja auermann, stephanie seymour, carla bruni, naomi campbell by avedon for versace and by meisel for vogue, 1994)

 because yes, avedon was still alive (claudia shiffer & stan nelson, gianni versace ad 1994)

because everyone had plucked, dark painted eyebrows (yes even you, helena christensen. and you, drew barrymore).

because our teen-idols actually had pretty decent behaviors (ya follow, miley?)

because kirsten dunst and I shared a hairstyle

because this movie changed my life

and to end on a nerdy note, because armies of tamagotchis ruled the world.

so, dd aside, are you now convinced? by lil

a love letter, from orson to rita

orson welles and rita hayworth candid

Dearest Angel Girl:

…I suppose most of us are lonely in this big world, but we must fall tremendously in love to find it out. The cure is the discovery of our need for company — I mean company in the very special sense we’ve come to understand since we happened to each other — you and I. The pleasures of human experience are emptied away without that companionship — now that I’ve known it; without it joy is just an unendurable as sorrow. You are my life — my very life. Never imagine your hope approximates what you are to me. Beautiful, precious little baby — hurry up the sun! — make the days shorter till we meet. I love you, that’s all there is to it.

Your boy,

Orson

happy sunday morning by sv

threeasfour topo-graphic staring lily mcmenamy

our dear friends at thereasfour really did it this time. i’m simply amazed at why these guys are not as huge as say, alexander mcqueen? the designs are incredibly structural and detailed; they translate fractal geometry into intricate fabrics. i must say, this is my favorite collection from them to date and they seem to get better and better. i wish i could wear some of these dresses myself! the beautiful music is by mike stroud / RATATAT, cinematography by brian gonzalez and 3D animation and visual effects editing by alex czetwertynski. a nice package overall, great work guys. by dd
