Modern Day Cockette

Everybody knows Devendra Banhart is a total babe (total mega babe). He is also founding father (brother) of my beloved new-age-therapist/bohemian-metal-wood-nymph look. It would appear he (or perhaps his stylist) draws inspiration from the pages of one of my favorite books, Native Funk and Flash.

Marvelous Blips

"Nature seems to exult in abounding radicality, extremism, anarchy. If we were to judge nature by its common sense or likelihood, we wouldn't believe the world existed. In nature, improbabilities are the one stock in trade. The whole creation is one lunatic fringe . . .No claims of any and all revelations could be so far-fetched as a single giraffe."
Annie Dillard in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

I'm Serious

I've always wanted to live in a hand built forest eco-commune but something more realistic in an urban environment may be cohousing. Besides the obvious benefit of "community" and all that it entails (e.g. support, social cohesion, emotional connection) I really like the idea of sharing common facilities (e.g. kitchen, library, exercise room, art space, garden, tools and other equipment) while maintaining private living quarters and independent income.
Who's with me?

Oh Ri Ri

Gucci Mane is less sexy than Rihanna but makes good music.

NEAR IMPOSSIBLE.

Fantasy Island

Views are described as "indecently beautiful."

Perfect Shoes

Balmain

the little girl in me loves the sparkles. but there's something metal (i.e. the genre of music) about it, no?

Pamela Love

goddamn. perfect for any metal new age therapist.
