“Most everyone’s mad here …

… You may have noticed that I’m not all there myself.”

~ Cheshire Cat

Straight hair Swift

We all know the sweet “goldie locks” Taylor Swift. But every once in a while …

… she straightens her hair …

… which makes her look a bit naughtier …

… and me liking her even better!

Things that I would NEVER wear (#5)

Oh how I hated the duck-themed sweaters of the last century! Not only ducks but all sorts of wild-life or geometry-design knitwear that the bloody “burda” inspired our mothers to dress us in back in 70’s and early 80’s. The sheer memory of us kids wearing these rough-patterned and thick-layered coats on each other’s birthdays sends itch down my skin, then you can imagine how I feel when I now see them every frickin’ where! Especially the pixel-esque ducks, thanks to the Fair Isle knitwear for reviving the trend. These don’t belong in an urban setting, period, instead on a tree-hugging sasquatch living in a Godforsaken place outside the realm of civilisation!lol

Occupational hazard

Can you tell which photographer is the excited newbie and which is the jaded veteran?lol

Lounge on my lobster

Lobster lounge chair by Oluf Lund and Eva Paarmann brings classic design with a funky twist. Can definitely see myself kicking back on one of these, listening to some smooth jazz streaming through a pair of Ultrasone Edition 10!

Social network sneakers

The web-designer Gerry McKay has developed these cool sneaker concepts for Adidas Superstar. One pair for the Facebookers and one for the Twitters out there! Which pair would be your social network sneakers, if these ever make it to the stores?

Topolie rizemize enghade balaa nemishe!

Although she’s always yo-yoed in weight, I’ve always preferred my Christina Aguilera a bit topoli-mopoli! How about you?!

Etch-A-Sketch iPad case!

“Quit pulling your trunk!”

Could this be …

… Mowgli and Hathi Jr.?!

Helmet heads

I mentioned Gorillaz as one of my favourite concepts when it comes to creative band images, I have to add that Daft Punk and their recent helmet-image is not far from it. The embodiment of Electro-Funk!

An image that works well with their soundtrack for “TRON: Legacy” and a clever move that has made the American press and market noticing the Frenchmen, once again!

Today’s treat ‘n’ “T”

This Sunday’s treat will be Swedish style thin crust pizza with my favourite toppings; beef tenderloin (filet de bœuf), shredded smoked ham, Champignon mushroom and sauce béarnais. A pizza doesn’t get more gourmet than this, I tell ya. Well except for the ghormesabzi pizza, that is!lol And the best part is that I get to enjoy it in the company of an angel! Yes, an ethereal angel who decended to my rescue earlier today and helped me out with today’s organising project. You have a way of knowing when I’m in distress “T”, I don’t know how you do it but I’m grateful that you do! Thank you sweetie.

Have a great Sunday my dear, dear friends.

Aniston in glasses

It’s the first time I’m seeing Jen in glasses and considering how I feel about girls-in-glasses … I just might renew my old Rachel-crush!

Before you pop that question …

… you better think twice!lol

Hot chocolate

Wasabi? Really?! I quite like things that are spicy and sweet, but this combo is wayyy too crazy!

Meanwhile, in the mist …

Outerwear for a conqueror

This Burberry jacket looks so over-the-top and epic. A $4795 mantel for a modern day world conqueror, to wear for a portrait that will forever say the words: “Ya ain’t got nothin’ on me!”!lol

Note to myself: must add to Santa’s wish-list

Is that a dress, tattoo or a second skin?!

Scenes from the fashion scene of the 50’s

The iconic photographer Mark Shaw’s photographs of the 50’s Parisian fashion scene are so vivid and dynamic that it’s as if they have been staged and taken today! Truly like a Degas (below) of his own time and media.
