The Quilts of Gee’s Bend

a few years ago at the philadelphia museum, i viewed an amazing installation of the quilts of gee’s bend. i was reminded of them again last month at the national museum of african american history and culture.

although…at five figures each…i’ll plan to have one in my next lifetime.

cultural chic!

Traccia Table

congratulations are in order. i’ve checked the meret oppenheim traccia table off my wish list.

traccia – 2013

whenever i’ve seen this piece in photos en-situ, i’ve wondered about each respective owner. brave. daring. unafraid. yeah. definitely unafraid. count me amongst them. i imagine mrs. vreeland would approve.

The pen is mightier….

a friend recently sent me thank you note. hand written. via u.s. mail. how quaint, i thought. no, wait. that wasn’t quaint. that was awesome!

not sure if the weapon of choice was a montblanc meisterstuck ballpoint — super popular 20ish or so years ago. and still lethal.

i, myself, prefer a piece from elsa peretti’s tiffany arsenal….

whatever your pleasure, writing has become a long lost art. time consuming. you bet. but if you receive a ‘billet-doux’ in longhand, you’ll know it came from the heart. but beware, such a missive might capture yours.

Necklace – Irene Neuwirth

necklace - irene neuwirth

…tis a pity no one ever invites me to the academy awards, grammys, tonys, or emmys. if they did, i’d totally rock this irene neuwirth necklace. it says, “i am a playful force to be reckoned with.”

genius.

on bare skin, to show off my clavicle to its best effect. or maybe on a white tee shirt. i wouldn’t want anyone to think i was trying too hard.

i await my invite…
