Meet Sofie & Olive

Our latest puppy mill rescues...  Sofie is pink with polka dots!  We think she looks like Woodstock from Charlie Brown.  Olive is her baby (we think), because she's definitely a puppy and they showed up at our house together -- pretty much starved and full of fleas and burrs.  But now they're the ladies of the house!  Before we got these two, we had all boys... Tango, Ike & Nicholas (who I'll be posting soon).

Sometimes life seems inordinately cruel. I still love you Pia.

People I LOATHE

I don't know how else to say it, except that whenever I look into their faces, I get a distinct feeling of nausea.

Vintage Glamour!

Simone Simone, Aquanetta, Julie Newmar & Joan Collins

Latest Obsession -- Tufting

I'm dying to do a whole wall in our house like this. Right now, the plan is to use iridescent maroon/burgundy taffeta. Yet another project for the future... Is Nina not to die for in this picture by the way?

Meet Tango

Tango is my dog, and the official mascot of everything I do. He's from Buenos Aires, where we found him on the street under a cafe table in La Boca one very hot afternoon in February of 2004. A few snacks and a plane ride later... well, it was more complicated than that, but...

The Photography of Nickolas Muray

When I was at the Tate in London back in October, I saw a book on Frida Kahlo portraits by photographer Nickolas Muray for sale in the shop. When I got back, I promptly ordered a copy from Amazon, as well as another book on Muray's Celebioty Portraits. This is truly beautiful work from a bygone age of glamor.
