Eastertide

Saturday, April 23, 2011

Eastertime is almost here! I can almost taste the candyfloss melting on my tongue, and those speckled chocolate robin’s eggs. I’m busy getting everything ready for our annual Easter Egg Hunt and Garden Party on Sunday, and remembering what a blast we had last year. It was an insane cavalcade of pastel frocks, sugared-up children, [...]

Magic Windows #18

Monday, October 18, 2010

A perfect lady. White hair and red roses please me more than I can say. This is a real thing that exists somewhere, this rabbit. He’s almost four feet tall. Can you handle it? Real rabbit fur, and composition. I wish he was mine. Oh Gaga. This shoot from Vanity Fair a month or two [...]

Magic Windows #17

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

The other night, we were invited to dinner at our dear friend Annie’s house. Annie is an extremely sweet lady, talented artist, and very good cook: she made us squash and asparagus with pine nuts, polenta and venison sausage from a deer her friend hunted and processed. It was very delicious, and I would have [...]

Magic Windows #13

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

These red shoes are so silly. I fell over putting them on the other night. Falling down is so funny — I think it’s good to do every once in a while. It always reminds me of being a child — up one minute and down the next. These are cheap, pleathery heels that I’ve [...]

Magic Windows #9

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Magic Windows are portals into the strange and beautiful world I inhabit, and the marvelous people, places and things come across in my day to day – all captured with the aid of my handy magic celephone (it’s an iPhone). The Magic Windows series originated as an attempt to capture the ephemeral objects and fleeting [...]

Stargazer Honey

Sunday, January 3, 2010

Our New Year’s Eve was truly magical. Despite a rocky start fraught with Mercury’s meddlings, we managed to create a really solid camp and the coziest tipi yet! In a pinch, duct tape, scavenged rope and a random dental tool can be used to quite ingenious effect – the skin was sewn by Francesca out [...]

Magic Windows #8

Wednesday, December 23, 2009

Magic Windows are portals into the strange and beautiful world I inhabit, and the marvelous people, places and things come across in my day to day – all captured with the aid of my handy magic celephone (it’s an iPhone). I often take pictures of things I see while I’m at work at Uncommon Objects, [...]

Unicorn Magic

Friday, October 30, 2009

I just realized how little time I have to get my act together regarding my Halloween costume! I think I have mostly everything I need, provided my bustier arrives in time – fingers crossed! I am on the hunt for the perfect eyelashes, but I’m not even certain that what I want exists anywhere. I’ll [...]

Magic Windows #4

Friday, October 9, 2009

Summer’s dwindling has brought the storms: this one was coming for me before I began my journey. I outran it in high-heeled boots, the wind lashing at my leftover locks, head newly half-shorn, walking through the drive-through at the bank. A vagabond. I went to the marvelous Observatory Room for an opening of James Walsh’s [...]

Languishing in New York

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

(From the collection of Mark Dion and Dana Sherwood) I arrived in the city soundly, despite Mercury’s meddlings (delays, insane turbulence) and headed straight from the airport to the Hungarian House where my beloved Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band and The Luminescent Orchestrii featuring my old friend Sxip Shirey were tearing it up. It was [...]
