proust’s poetry
“little project of sweet stained glass
to make it was a pain in the ass
on the left are Félicie and Marie
who wash clothes and complain incessantly.
on the right Buninuls cannot open Legras powder

Buninuls helps by knee and arms

well this looks very familiar! i think pp and kl may remember that…. i was in london few weeks ago and ran into this little lovely. i haven’t even smelled it yet but i guess i am the book lover they were after. the secret cut out book with hidden perfume bottle is beautifully produced by book publisher steidel. karl lagerfeld added a bit of cred but wall paper ruined the party a bit for me. nice still. by uh

TALIBAN – images found by Thomas Dworzak
“days after the taliban had fled the city of kandahar, the magnum photographer thomas dworzak discovered portraits of men in high-heeled sandals with make-up – a tradition of the native pashtuns long noted for their flamboyancy – hanging up alongside photographs of hollywood movie stars. with sultry poses in front of often garish backdrops, this is an illicit side of the taliban, not expected to be exposed.” from trolly books
