I love the collages of Carly Bartel. They make me want to put my stack of old magazines to use.

Happy Father's Day Weekend.

Women In Art

By Gordon Parks, Life Magazine

Sophisticated Lady

They say into your early life romance came

And this heart of yours burned a flame. A flame that flickered one day and died away.

Then, with disilution deep in your eyes You learned that fools in love soon grow wise

The years have changed you, somehow

Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant.

Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant.

Is that all you really want?

No, sophisticated lady,

I know, you miss the love you lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh you cry

Yes I like pictures and paintings of sad looking women in bars.

photos- Eve Arnold

painting- Christian Schad (which is my favorite and has always reminded me of the song Sophisticated Lady by Duke Ellington). I really like Cat Power's cover.

Happy Valentine's Day. xo

(some of my favorite romantic photographs by the great Duane Michals,Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Ernst Haas)

I'd love to get my hands on this shirt. I don't even wear t-shirts except to lounge and be lazy in (which maybe is actually a lot), but if you know what this is from and what the title of my blog is from you'll understand.

I love these illustrations by Teri Chung
