speaking of bros....

my brother mikie was visiting for a few days so we had a "back-to-school" photo shoot.
we wanted it to be dorkily frolicsome like some ridiculous abercrombie and fitch ad.
just 3 best friends on the first day of their college classes...
having both my brothers along was a total riot.
the boys could not stop being astoundingly over the top.
mikie was my lighting guy and looooved making cameos in the shots.
the feeling of early fall in the air was perfect just up the road at Apple Hill.
joey even did his happy dance.
mikie was actually a really natural model (of course, the little devil...) and i am proud of this 1986 alabama concert tee shirt i will soon be listing in the shop.
whereas joey fell in love with this one (used to be our uncle's shirt) and decided to keep it.
juggling fools.
more ridiculousness.
and i even did a bit of modeling myself.
all in all, a wonderful day in a gorgeous setting...
and i'll be listing all this stuff in my shop tomorrow/friday so keep checking in.

final note: there's nothing in the world so fun as brothers!
(okay, and sisters too.)

I love your great big family. You all seem to have so much fun together! Those boots are making my heart skip a beat, and these photos are so perfectly autumnal. Makes me want to bundle up for a crisp outdoor romp soon.

Ok, whoever came up with the idea to do a "dorkily frolicsome" Abercrombie spoof shoot is totally brilliant and you and your whole family are absolutely adorable! To use one of Clover's little phrases: Oh what fun!

p.s. I love that little sweater you're wearing.

pretty baby

have you all seen the 1978 movie Pretty Baby?  addie has been telling me about it for years and finally darin and i watched it. i directly fell in love with the lush new orleans ambience, and you all know i fancy old brothels . the hats, slips, corsets, bloomers, petticoats, stockings, eyelet lace and cleavage...i was dying. the subject matter is somewhat difficult. brooke shields plays 12-year-old Violet, growing up in the brothel with her mother's (a glorious Susan Sarandon) nonchalant guidance.  saucy young Violet is over sexualized and objectified, and the film doesn't seem overly concerned about that fact. i kind of appreciated that indifference, as if glimpsing some other world with a completely different set of values, without judgment. however the scenes are shown with such grace and beauty that you get the feeling the director Louis Malle was somehow getting off on the whole thing. i guess that's what i found a tad disturbing. if

"I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin..."

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belong to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. It struck me, when I read Song of Myself several years ago, that thirty-seven years old , that magical Whitmanesque age, was still in the future for me. How exciting that felt! To know that this wonderful age that was such a pure and boisterous beginning for the bard, was something I could look forward to. To know that I could set forth on new adventures, and sing the praises of the earth, and be wild and merry and voluptuous and bold. Now and forever. and especially at 37. And so suddenly I am here! That lu

handmade homes take to the open road

i want this to be us so bad...rollin away in a fairytale bus made of wood and wheels, porch and books. this is from another book in the series of rad 70s handmade house books that i've written about before and missa wrote about here  ( raddest houseboats ever, ever, ever ) this one is all about handmade hippie houses on the road. we have it at the bookery in the locked case; it's a collectible and thus way out of my price range. but i still get to look at its gloriousness. these photos of the pages look much better than mine, found in this wonderful little delight here , check these caravans out: standing in the mist with its little terra cotta pots and windowpanes, killing this fairytale heart a mine. i can picture joey and emily in this one, our neighbors. and this one can house addie and art, and we'll drive cross the prairies together. this covered-wagon one seems the most fun of all. roll back the canvas and sleep
