brotherly love, or migsy mami!

this is my brother mikie.
the one who is so insanely fun to hang out with that your chest explodes from laughing.


i am not kidding when i say he is PURE ENERGY. ALL THE TIME.
i indeed have three brothers and one sister; yes it's a big family of sibs and YES we're very close.
and of course you probaly noticed in my last post cause i'm way nostalgic...i did grow up mormon.
b, yes you're right.  
i'm so not anymore but i still have a lot of respect and love, we can talk about it sometime if you'd like.


when mikie was here visiting over the weekend, he did some modeling for my etsy shop.
he works for disney (if you have kids maybe you've seen him) and...
as you can see, he is very comfortable in front of the camera.







you guys.
if you have to ever deal with getting models for modeling or clothes or vintage stuff or anything at all, you know what i'm talking about. models are tricky. hooking it up, styling the clothes, getting the poses, etc. guess what? my brother mikie rules at all of it. 
he is so comfortable, so hilarious, so utterly sure of this ridiculous 80s vintage aesthetic...
HurlyBurly anyone? 


addie did some modeling too.


i never thought of doing a photo shoot in a bathroom, this was mikie's brilliant idea.
he was modeling some 60's pajamas for me...voila!
it makes perfect sense and addie's bathroom's wood paneling was just right.





he liked this next sweater and shirt so much i let him keep them
i am proud to have my cinematic and creative and crazy-fun brother gallivanting around the big city in moonshinejunkyard vintage!


thanks migs.
i miss you so much already.

Hahahahaha! Your brother is totally adorable. It seems that all the Beatty Clan have been blessed with a very infectious smile from birth.

HA! i have seen him! what a fun guy. nice butt.

my best friend became a mormon for a few years in the early nineties, and i totally went to a bunch of mormon dances and parties with her during her brief foray into it. so funny, i bet that was right around the time you were playing charades in your velvet dress at a mormon party.

Tuesdays in my Town - Buck's Bar on the Cosumnes River

Image
Okay, not to turn this into "my favorite river spots" or anything...but it just hit 100 degrees here and i had the pleasure on saturday of going with some of my favorite people to one of our...yes indeed i can't resist.... favorite river spots .  since i talk about the river a lot, all summer long, i figured i'd go ahead and show you all this particular spot for this week's "Tuesdays in my Town." so, my town placerville (aka p-ville, peevs, and infamously "old hangtown") is actually located between two beautiful rivers coming out of the sierra nevada mountains: the american river to our north and the cosumnes river to our south. my friends and i have spots we prefer on both rivers, depending on the day, the kind of hike you want to do, and the month of the year. on saturday we drove out toward somerset down buck's bar road to the bridge and hiked out to the perfect june swimming hole in the cosumnes river, which, by the way, i r

"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!

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
