i am seriously losing it for the work of alidra alić, a contemporary jeweler based out of denmark. whimsical and unique, her pieces are stunning...as if having emerged from some peculiarly unsettling fairy tale. while some of the pieces are just plain lovely, others (particularly those from her flora line), are beautifully grotesque, having a sort of life of their own and reminding me of contorted dreams, georgia o'keeffe meets salvador dali. i am in love. also, terribly envious.

give me a head with hair

let me just preface this by saying that i am fully aware of and proudly admit to my astounding nerd-dom when it comes to theater and musicals. i am unabashed in proclaiming my affinity in particular for those (or anything for that matter) consisting of hippies aplenty, donned in fringe and wildflowers and afros, high on the fumes of revolt, gyrating, and swooning in worship to the sun and moon. and thus, yet another way for me to feed the time-warp frankenstein that since age 10 has made it entirely apparent that i was born in the wrong decade.

"hair" is coming to the colonial theater in boston on March 22nd, courtesy of broadway across america. i am squealing. on the inside. shut up.

carolina in my mind

holga shots from a 2009 duck, north carolina dream. heat, brew thru, pork bbq, i do love you. august can't come soon enough. deep breaths.
