I've always thought the human body is fascinating and beautiful. I want to do some drawings or paintings like these vintage medical pictures. Who knows, it might even help in my understanding of physiology for med school. Lord knows the endocrine system still boggles my mind.

This last one is De Humani by Vesalius (1514-1564). He's considered the father of anatomy, and his work, a landmark in medical drawing, dispelled many of the misconceptions about human anatomy that had remained since the time of the ancient Greeks.

I also just like the painting of trees on the left.

I need these sunnies.

about reinstating my blog obsession... We'll see.

Time is what past me by when i wasn't with you.  

Sometimes I feel much older than I am today.

Devenir immortel... et puis... mourir.

An amazing quote from a great movie. I'm obsessed with this line, and Patricia.

little facts from imdb:

-One of Jean-Luc Godard's first films

-Because the first edit was too long for distribution, Godard cut little bits 

from here and there. This led to the "jump cut" technique this movie introduced.

-The entire cast and crew is uncredited.

I've been wanting a pair of converse high-tops forev, and these that i saw on Karla's Closet are  kinda perfect: 

UO catalogue

Okay, so we get the UrbOut catalogue, and I must say, the first thing I thought was how bad these pics were:

The products were blurry and poorly placed. and the rest of the images looked like they came straight from Karla's Closet, which you should check out if you haven't already. She has an amazing blog, and I think was recently a featured model on AmAp.  Anyway, back to the matter at hand, so turns out the ad campaign was done by Superfantasticpicturetime, who normally has amazing pics and is another blog I absolutely love.  I guess this particular style just wasn't my thing. eh. but I do want those little black booties. hard.

I've never gotten into the fur vest trend - too much trend, not enough function.  Plus, they remind me of the cavemen on the Geico commercial.  But I do love this Dries skirt; it looks great with the shoes and wrap belt, maybe in some lighter fabrics for the spring...

Ebay = Spring cleaning

sooo I decided that since I buy so much stuff from Ebay, I might as well try selling some stuff to finance my shopping addiction. Go check it out if you're interested!

to die for

Photographer Melanie Pullen's first monograph comprises over 100 images mimicking vintage crime scene photos, with her "victims" dressed in modern-day haute couture. She was inspired by LAPD's archive of murder cases, and all the shots are based upon actual case files that she managed to dig up.  The images are wonderfully morbid, yet serenely inspiring.  My favourite is the last one where you can see the ghostly reflection of the tripod in the foreground.
