I started this blog a year ago without any great aspirations or direction, so I’m somewhat in awe of the fact that I’ve kept it going for this long. I’ve never kept a journal for longer than a week, yet this blog keeps me coming back day after day. Thank you to every one of you who has ever made mention of this blog in your own – I mean it every time I say how terribly flattered I am that something here caught your eye or inspired you. Thank you to anyone who’s ever left a comment on one of my posts – I truly appreciate your lovely complements, your insights, and your constructive criticism. You’ve given me new perspectives on fashion, prompted me to reassess my way of thinking, and laugh out loud in public places. And thank you so much to all of you who like this blog, enjoy my husband’s stunning photos, or are just morbidly fascinated enough to look at this blog as much as you do. It’s your interest that encourages me to keep posting and I cannot say thank you enough. Thank you!
Anyway, I thought I might celebrate our “anniversary” by sharing some of my faves…
No Local Yocal’s Gonna Shut Me Down
Painted Nights
A is for Amy who fell down the stairs…
in the highways, in the hedges
get it together and we’ll get it undone
the less we say about it the better, make it up as we go along
“If it weren’t for double standards, I wouldn’t have standards at all.”
