I’m glad I don’t smoke anymore, but this ad for Murad cigarettes is quite tempting, eh? ✸ Exciting news! The latest issue of Coilhouse is out now: Coilhouse 05: Let All The Children Boogie is the juiciest, most glam-tastic issue yet, and I am proud to have a piece on The Last Days of Gadjo [...]

♥ I can’t get over these pearblossoms. Giant fluffy snowball trees exploding all over town. I wish they had a nicer scent – our smells kind of awful, but aren’t they heart-stoppingly lovely? I hope we’ll have pears this year, the last few seasons it’s been the birds or passersby on the street who’ve nabbed [...]

I get more and more shameless every year in my open adoration of this holiday. Yes, the commercialization and wasteful glut disgust me – but it means so much more to me than that. Even in Texas, (where we can often be found in short-sleeves around this time of year) I can completely grasp the [...]

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, [...]

(Photo by Jane Aldridge) I adore this image captured in Coco Chanel’s gorgeously appointed apartment in Paris. What a dream come true, to explore her domain! I dreamt the other night that a was drinking Chanel No. 5 out of a big teacup. In my dreams, I have a golden indigo lacquered screen like that!. [...]

It’s high time for a Magic Windows update, wouldn’t you say? As always, all photos were taken with my magic telephone camera (which explains the not-so-hot quality, eh?) It sure is handy, though! All the photos were taken at Uncommon Objects, and many of the items pictured are available for purchase. Except, of course, the [...]

(Photographer unknown) I became friendly with the ghosts of 807 Esplanade not long after I moved into the building. The house held so much history, it would seem strange if it weren’t haunted at least by a few souls. The place was huge, and there was some heavy energy out back by the the former [...]

A quick Magic Windows update from afar, these are actually all Austin related images that I’ve been meaning to show you for awhile.. Don’t worry, the New York edition of Magic Windows is shaping up to be pretty great. Just you wait! A friend of mine from teenage days recently dug up some pictures taken [...]

(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 [...]

Oh my. It’s been a while since I was last in New York. I just dug up these pictures from the last time I was there, and I’m flooded by memories of how much fun we had.. Now I’m even more excited about visiting again- it really is one of my favorite cities, and I [...]
