Thorn City Zeitgeist

This is from one of my favorite blogs.  Ari Cohen’s “Advanced Style” is a true gem!  His subjects are fabulous aged fashionistas.  I can never get enough of this site.  He also has a book that is coming out soon (or has recently come out).

The last time I played dress up/ photo shoot with a photographer friend. It looks like an h and m ad. A bit too preppy for me.

My boyfriend enjoys to avoid photos by hiding behind candles. ;)

This is the call box of an apartment building on nw 21St Ave. I’m not sure oh it’s still in working order, but if it is, I want to live there.

Should I grow a mustache?

My hair was on point this day. I just got the sides touched up again yesterday.

wetheurban: THE CHROMATIC TYPEWRITER

What a lovely new use for an old gadget. Washington-based painter Tyree Callahan has modified a traditional typewriter and turned it into a painting machine, or “Chromatic Typewriter”. Callahan submitted the beautiful typewriter as part of the 2012 West Prize competition, an annual art prize that’s determined by popular vote. The keys on the vintage 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter have each been replaced with a different pad of color to give some rather interesting results!

I love it and want one!

Amazing!

This is fucked up! Many whole foods products are from China and they now sell unlabelled gmos due to pressure from agribusiness giant Monsanto.
