BREAKIN

The LADWP dudes have been working on the street in front of my house for 4 days now.  They bashed so hard that the art fell off the walls.  This Uday Kak made me think of breakin, when I think breakin, I think Break dancin. When I get to thinkin about break dancin, why I think of the one, the only Brett Cody Rogers.  Enjoy.

RECLAIM IT, THEN BENCH IT

My dear friend Currie has an amazing store in Austin called Spartan.  I have been thinking about this bench she had in her shop to use as a display table for over a year now.  She had it made by a friend in NY,  the design was super simple, and I had always wanted to make one for myself.  Last week I turned my thoughts into matter.

I went to the wood reclaimer, about half an hour outside of LA, and chose a 3" x 10" piece of cedar saved from a burned patch of trees that had been in a forest fire.   I had it cut into a 6' slab, and kept a tiny end cut to make a petite nature shelf.  I hauled my load back home, and sanded that mother for 3 nights.  I stained it with linseed oil and waxed it.  Then I screwed on legs that I found on the world wide web.  You can find Spartan on the same web, and you should.

My bench rules.  My kid thinks so too.  The silk pajamas are a story for another day...

EARTH DAY

In honor of Earth day,  amongst other things we shall discuss shortly, we left the car in the driveway and took the train to downtown LA for a Friday night out.  The sun was setting, the air was crisp, and I was  enchanted by how great LA looked from this vantage point.  It was perfect.  Then I ran to catch the connecting train, slipped, and cracked the heel off of my vintage Hermes sandal.  Fugh.  

APRIL 26, 2007

I got married four years ago, yesterday.  The memories make me belly laugh.  One week in the Rainforest with 24 of my nearest and dearest.  We chilled, we swam, we surfed, we danced, we made music, we laughed, we hiked, we chilled some more, and we sweated... oh did we sweat.  I am reminded to live fully each and everyday.  I am also reminded of rum shooters.

Refinery thinks it is AWESOME!

Olivia Ramsay is a big fan of JK.  I am a big fan of hers.  She is a dancer.  She just ordered the Penny colored knot top for spring.  Made me think of these images of the JK black silk bloomers she ordered a few springs back.  Here she is looking amazing in said bloomers, with Ikolo Griffin.  Photographed by Weiferd Watts.
