a phenomenal, best EVER new years. outta town from here on out (well..as much as possible anyway:)
we: sighted a bald eagle, spent the morning walking on a lake, had a major dance/house party, exploded fireworks galore, had a led zepplin sing along in the last minutes of the decade, ate absolutely phenomenal marlow+daughters supplied meals, shared a lot of bubbly, made some magic and a lot of awesome...all shared with best friends+new friends.
i think 2011 is going to be a great year! we've got posi vibes in major supply. booYAKON.
hope y'all had a magical merry holiday + i wish you an explosively awesome new years eve!!
we're ditching the new york new years brouhaha (IN MY NEW CAR!) to hang out in a lake house in the poconos!
what we've got on the agenda: eat loads of yummy marlow+daughters food, light a couple smoke bombs, wear sequins by the fire, take LOADS of fotos, drink this bottle of veuve and just get really fucking groovy.
i promise i will post more fotos soon. i just cleared 3,660 pics from iphoto-i.e. i've finally had a chance to upload all my digi pics from november+december...but i have to go dig my car out from under heaps of snow so my apologies but you'll have to wait a few days more:)
i don't know about you but my new years resolutions are stacking up: eat more fruit, make some more books, back up my digi jazz more frequently, jump rope, get rid of this vintage archive (lemme know if you'd like to make an appointment to go thru it;), +paint more frequently. what are yours??
my dear darling gals at COURT are living the dream... designing the perfect denim to cover the covetable asses of the world.
we had a meeting about me shooting their lookbook towards the end of summer+started brain storming concepts...but as so often happens scheduling got in the way and our city shoot didn't come to fruition...so as i was gearing up for our western adventures i suggested that they just give us some jeans to go and we'd see if magic could be made. i mean mercedez has been my muse for 12 years, so how could it go wrong?!
we shot from new mexico to the mojave to vegas to big sur... +while there were plenty of awkward quick changes in the car...the experience was perfection--probably my favorite way to shoot fashion: having a blast--rainbow chasing through parking lots in vegas, smoke bomb experiments, climbing joshua trees in a head dress (not recommended actually), and countless other fortuitous friendly fashionable moments.
picked up this bonkers shiny leopard maxi at the friends+family (major:) sale at creatures of comfort....slightly under the influence of some kir royale and hilarity. it makes me very glad.
