Kate Moss 3

And for my final Kate post ... here's the big bag, black sunglasses, and skinny jeans again with ballet flats and a cheetah jacket ... always basic colors and never a lot of bling .... it's what I like best.

Kate Moss 2

Kate-style also includes a lot of vests with jeans and black sunglasses. I selected this pic because I'm big on the Chanel Blue Satin pedicure and I like the bohemian sandals.

I haven't been thinking about Adams Morgan too much over the last few weeks but will be back to blogging soon. Over the next few days to fill up space, I'll post some Kate Moss outfits I like. Reoccuring elements are boots, big bags, and a scarf. Click on the pic to see the details.

Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us

Strange things are happening everyday
I hear the music up above my head
Though the side of my heart has left me again
I hear music up above

Secrets are written in the sky
Looks like I've lost the love I've never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again
I hear music up above

Standing in my broken heart all night long
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
Looking for the lamb that's hidden in the cross
The finder's love
I know I loved you too much
I'll go alone to get through

I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echoes of light that shine like stars after they're gone
And tonight she's my guide as I go on alone
With the music up above

From Raising Sand with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss: absolutely one of the most beautiful, poetic, spiritual, and intimate songs ever ... easily the best on an overall outstanding album.

Make It Work!

Next week is our Schedule of Classes drama. This is our most important project, not because it's interesting but because it's our largest print run, everyone sees it, and it absolutely has to be on time.

Hollywood Stan says we shouldn't laugh at our clients, but as you can see we're laughing alot, both at them and ourselves. Clearly this isn't the cover that will go to press next week, but wouldn't it be funny IF?

First in a series to cover my office walls.

Orange Line: Farragut West (Corcoran College of Art + Design)

posting this photo early in the hopes I can get over the hair and not be all distracted tonight when I listen to Stanley Hainsworth speak at the Corcoran.

... A friend of mine recently asked me if I prefer IFC film or Hollywood movies. My response, which unfortunately bordered on the dissertation length, said the following:

"Hollywood movies are just too formulaic, and exist just to feed the big hollywood machine ... they have to have the big set, the big costumes, the extra-special effects so everyone gets paid ... the music rises just at the right moment so everyone feels what they are supposed to feel and then they push us all out into the street and no one really thinks about what they were just told."

Insert the word SOLD for told and you have my summary of tonight's lecture. Stanley Hainsworth is the equivalent of Hollywood in the design world. Will it affect my emotional connection with Starbucks? Not one bit. What do I take back to the office tomorrow? I need to figure out this step in the process called a brief.
