Shes Indian.

Shes Dutch.

Shes Intriguing.

LIN PATISSERIE

In the quiet lane of Oak Fair, a woman bakes these by the dozen in preparation for a certain tea party.

LOOK MA, NO PANTS!

Using tee as a cover up is truly an American tragedy.

HOTTER SHOTS

Somewhere in Atwater Village there is a woman concocting something with Valrhona and Cheyenne in a shot glass. Dear I say it's not a drink, but a brownie. Bottom's up and it'll kick you in the face!

DENIM MORE

The Sartorialist is advocating men's Italian denim. What about the ladies?

ANDROGYNY

Innuendos are sexy. Therefore accessorize this look wisely!

SKIN ME

Its amazing how showing off some skin can make the difference between ma'am and sir.

le nome de plume

the world is full of colors, of rainbows, of lights and of darks. 

i prefer to see it in its stark contrasts, in its blacks and whites, 

in its yin and yangs. 

eponine thenardier, of les miserables, 

she and i share a dark and a light; 

we are both in love, but in such a love that will never be. 

marianne for the country of france, for the country that stole my heart, 

where eponine's tragic story is played out. 

i can never remain in one place for too long; 

my heart constantly aches for the thrill of discovery, exploration, adventure. 

and my greatest joy is capturing such discoveries, explorations, adventures

on film, in black and white.

DEMI-JEAN

Today I wore a tight fitting denim shirt circa 1990's via Oliva Bayla. I usually wear it with my gauchos and jean shorts. Denim overkill? Not at all. But today I wore it with my topsiders and white capris.

Then a man addressed me as "SIR".
I love androgyny!

Eleanor Savage told the narcissitic Amory Blaine why she hated summer.

"Summer is life without growth"


Almost every female author published in a pseudonym since Guttenberg could remember. The Brontes published under Bell using Ellis, Currer and Acton. Ever heard of Olympe De Gauges? Exactly! Well she didn't exactly use a nom de plum when she spearheaded Robespierre. Guillotine much?!

Oh dear! Is it dark and brooding yet? Anyway, I need to stop with my history rant.

Well of course I'm a douchebag! I have no right whatsoever to use a nom de plume and yet I do it anyway!

Whats in a name

How the hell did I get here? I messaged S on the possibility of creating a blog about everything and anything. After countless hours of browsing through my classics, here are the blog titles I deemed appropriate at 3am.

Wuthering Heights
