Sindy oynayalım mı?

Küçükken arkadaşlarıma, "Barbie oynayalım mı?" diye sorardım. 30'umda, 1969 yapımı bu Sindy'leri görünce sorumu, başlıktakiyle değiştirmeye karar verdim.

Beauty


“Beauty, the world seemed to say. And as if to prove it (scientifically) wherever he looked at the houses, at the railings, at the antelopes stretching over the palings, beauty sprang instantly."

Virginia Woolf

Do you have your own private library?


"Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That’s part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that’s where I imagine it - there’s a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live forever in your own private library." Haruki Murakami

AnOther pOint Of View

AnOther Magazine'in hayal evrenime ve bilgi dağarcığıma kattığı o kadar çok şey var ki! Parlak kağıtlı moda dergilerinin alternatifi olan bu şahane nesnenin her sayısına mücevher muamelesi yapıyorum. Bunda, 2006 yılında, derginin Londra Old Street'te bulunan ofisinde staj yapmamın ve fikir babası Jefferson Hack'in iPod'undan Francesco Vezzoli röportajı deşifre etmemin de etkisi var sanırım. Lakin bunları yapmasaydım da AnOther benim için "başka türlü bir şey" olurdu bence. Aşağıdaki moda çekimi size de öyle hissettirmiyor mu?

Sorrow


"Sorrow comes in great waves—no one can know that better than you—but it rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us it leaves us on the spot and we know that if it is strong we are stronger, inasmuch as it passes and we remain."

In July of 1883, the novelist Henry James received an emotional letter from Grace Norton — a good friend and fellow writer who, following a death in the family, had recently become depressed and was desperate for direction. This is part of his response.

Help yourself please





Love is like candy on a shelf
You want to taste and help yourself
The sweetest things are there for you
Help yourself, take a few
That's what I want you to do.

Foodie Nigel

60'ların İngiltere'sinde geçen harikulade bir film The Toast. Yemek yazarı Nigel Slater'ın hayat hikayesinin ayak izlerini takip eden filmde, üvey anne rolünü canlandıran Helena Bonham Carter yıldızlaşıyor. Filmin, miniminnoşlarla birlikte izlenmesi tavsiye edilmektedir :)
