Tiger Stripes


Wow! and I thought Camo Glamo' was as weird as evening wear got. Take a look at this 1949 American concept of chic. This really doesn't work, does it? And the worst part? There's not a hint of irony.

A friend sent me a link to the Brooklyn Museum's current exhibit, American High Style: Fashioning a National Collection. Pretty amazing stuff. Some of it is even amazing in a good way!

Unbeatable


This is my cousin's new baby. There is no more amazing or strange thing in the world (to me, anyway) than the development and birth of a new human.
