Her Morning Elegance

I've been seeing a lot of stop motion in the blogosphere lately. I chose this particular music video because of the underwater scene. You can't get much neater than sock fish.

Blackfield

I found these flowers to be hauntingly beautiful. They are mini scultures of flowers rooted in sand. When you come into the room they are all black, but if you walk to the other side they change to color.

I can't even imagine the amount of time and patience it would take to make a whole field of them.
The artist, Zadok Ben David, also did this other interesting piece I like called "Train Ride". I don't even pretend to understand the frying pan part but the story is very captivating and sad.

O.N.E. Yeasayer

If something can be said to have a psychedelic, futuristic, disco vibe then this music video owns it, and I'm in love. Not only does everyone's outfit rock but the music is pretty good to. Take a look for yourself.

Geek Chic


Right now I'm being inspired by all things Geek Chic. This is Ashley from Akron, OH. I found her picture via Nylon Street Style.

Toast: Spring 2010

Sorry I haven't been updating lately. The Airman has had some extra time off and so I have been gladly spending it with him. In that time I've thought about a million things I could show you/ talk to you about, only, along with neglecting my need to post regularly, I have failed to keep track of any of the websites/ ideas I could use. (Shame on me.) This shall be the begginning of a very lengthy reconnaissance mission to find them all.

That being said the first thing I want to talk about is the new Toast magazine. I got my copy in the mail the other day and have hardly set it down since then. The first thing I noticed when I pulled it out of it's plastic sheath emblazoned with the sticker proclaiming I'm important enough to recieve international mail - even if it is just a catalogue - is that they went back to their old paper. This is a wonderful turn of events not only because I liked the old style better, but because of the distinctive smell that paper has. I want to bottle it and use it as perfume, though I think people would probably tell me I stink - it smells like ink and something else unidentifiable that tickles your nostrils. Still, I love the smell because it means that I am holding a Toast magazine, and what could be better then that?
