And now, because the background matches this blog post (hehe) and because the designs are out-of-this-world-I-would-do-something-unmentionable-for/in-any-one-of-these-ensembles, here are some incredible images from the Christian Dior S/S '10 show in Paris. Enjoy!

Ugh, this collection makes me quiver! Is that tmi? Oh well, it's true. Maybe more figuratively than literally, but ne'er the less, true.
xxo... I feel like I had something more to say... but... my hungry tummy won't allow me to remember, it seems. If I do, I suppose I shall mix it into the next blog entry. Go be happy and do a little wiggle dance in front of the window with the lights on... clothes on or off, it's up to you. I'll be keeping mine on, fyi... although, you'll never really know of course... ;)

p.s. Of course I remembered as soon as I published the blog post. Sarah Sophie Flicker & Maximillia Lukacs are two amazingly beautiful filmmakers & general feminine ideals. You can watch their short films, including Kill Your Darlings, & learn more about them here. Take a peek, they're lovely. xx

Viktor & Rolf Spring 2010, starring Christina Ricci, by Rebecca M.
The Viktor & Rolf Spring collection was pretty bitchin'... and this coming from a girl who never ever uses that word... ever. Like, ever ever. You can check out the entire collection here.
And you know, I think this old(ish) spread of Christina Ricci from Pop Magazine is probably one of my very favorites she's done. Although, thinking back, that little lady has been in some truly incredible spreads. Maybe it's just my favorite one she's been in since... probably the 90's. Oh wow... next time I'm in Boston I think it's high time I go riffling through my childhood mag stacks (yes, I was one of those nine year-olds reading W while their sneakered feet dangled above the floor on the T. (for those NOT from Boston, T=subway)) Anyways, here are a few other images from the shoot.
Aaaaand... that's it for today. Enjoy the pretty pictures and go draw some drawings!

The Valentino Spring 2010 ready to wear collection sends us spiraling backwards down a rabbit hole into the dankest swamp of dank. We tip toe across stepping stones, between the reeds, beneath a boisterous murder of crows. We reach our fingers toward the milky silver skies and grin. Here, in The Swamp of Childhood Fascination, reside all manner of silver and magical things. This fact may be easily forgotten, but childhood can be a terrifying place... only, in the best of all possible ways. This collection is all fairies and dryads and naiads and night. It's a narrative of Victorian little girls with huge dark eyes and the dreams they dream of fantastical things in their high away rooms with their pale-faced governess who hungers for her Rochester. This is how we see it, at least: a dream of light from out of dark. And oh god, the shoes. The shoes the shoes the shoes. Be still my madly beating heart, The Shoes.
What do they remind you of?
Which brings us to... if you have not seen Pan's Labyrinth... oh dear, darling, get thee to Netflix! This film is the absolute in fairy tales for grownups (but really, what fairy tales aren't for grownups?) It is gruesome and frightening and lovely and lush. And the musical composition... breathtaking. The lullaby theme is perhaps the most haunting strain of a melody ever written... ever. If you disagree, please, let us know what you find more heartbreaking than this. We'd love to hear it... secret inner goths that we are.
p.s. The Valentino shoes in the center bottom row also remind us of those giant black goldfish they have in fountains at a lot of shopping malls n' things... anybody else? No? :/
