First of all I just wanted to say how awesome Joan Jett is.
So 80s. I mean look at those pecs! Especially love the "Touch me there, you know where"s at the end. :)
Also I finally finished all three episodes of Tin Man and I liked them. It was a fun story, although at times a bit too expository like, REMEMBER? We're basing this on The Wizard of Oz!! The cinematography and style of the episodes were beautiful I thought. And Alan Cumming is in it! It's all instant on netflix.
I really loved all of the costumes.
especially zooey's leather jacket. :)
It gave me pretty fantastic landscaping ideas...
and others that I can fantasize about:
But what would it be without a journey into the world of black&white..
I hit up the Maker Faire in the city yesterday. I was proud of myself for navigating the subway system and figuring out directions on my own, which in my experience, has not been a strong suit in the past. We saw signs for cow eye dissections, 3D-printer demonstrations and a Coke & Mentos show
In addition, there were... hilarious, brash greeting cards.
My favorite being: Congratulations on your baby. It looks delicious.
A fairy apothecary.
A rollercoaster made out of yarn.
Dangerous contraptions
Peptol Bismol vans.
Scary saftey signs.
Bike -eating fish.
Girly robots.
Human -sized mousetraps.
Mice.
Construction clowns on taxis?
Squid cars.
and of course.... a bone conductor mechanical orchestra!
I also ran into my friend's uncle, Gerard.
Small world.
My finds? Got a really awesome old copy of Andersen's Fairytales - still binded and in great condition. She usually unbinds books, fills them with blank pages and sells the blank books with the original pages. (www.oddmanout.etsy.com)
Two headbands. (www.thetulleroom.com. I am coveting that beach boys album on the website.)
and two rings. (www.ragtradervintage.com)
Next open mic? A cover of Stormy Weather (starting at 1:57)
or maybe something by Laura Jansen? Ben Kweller? Paramore?
On a slightly different note: Loving this jacket. (modcloth.com)
Maybe if I get it, it will inspire to get a super cool (super expensive) bike. like this! (if only...)
Or this bike, or this one although I would ideally like white wheels. I think that would look awesome.
or this is lovely too. The Honda Mojito. Even though the first time I tried to ride a vespa, I crashed it (my last thought was "Thank god I know how to drive.") I still really want one of these at some point in my life.
I just discovered Alex Prager about two seconds ago and I'm already pretty obsessed. I was watching Boogie Nights the other day, and her photos sortof remind me of the colorful outdoor shots by the pool.
They have that same bright, punchy feel, right?
What I like even more about her stuff, though, is that it doesn't belong to any specific decade of the past; it's all over the place but it comes together to create something candy-coated and cool.
