why?

and more importantly, why?

Awkward Stock Photos is a blog dedicated to bizarre stock imagery that actually exists. If you've ever worked as a designer, photo stylist or photog these will be especially entertaining (fucking hilarious.)

My personal favorite is this poor balloon cat. I'd like to know how they shot this one...no actually, I think I'd rather not.

go blog, it's your birthday.

...open wide, I know you're thirsty, say ahhhh ahhha hahhh ahahahahaha (danielle knows the rest.)

happy birthday to...me! not me, exactly, but to super.fine. she/he/it is exactly one year old — a week ago. Sorry I missed your big day, super.fine, but I'll be sure to celebrate on *your behalf allllll weeeekend long.

*how sad that I'm talking to my blog like it's a person...

tomorrow

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

pretty shiny things

This morning the latest Chanel couture collection debuted as part of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Costumes from Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette came to mind as Lagerfeld's stream of muted sorbets radiated through plenty of shimmering metallics down the catwalk. Chanel is over black, and I'm sure the fashion world will soon follow suit — shiny, silver suit.

Speaking of Ms. Coppola, I've always wanted to try these little babies...I predict a Sofia-themed movie/wine night soon (hear that Ambika?)

P.S. look who showed up to the Chanel show!

K looking dapper in a velvet blazer with his "just got a model chick" Amber Rose. Not exactly sure what's going on with her arm, head and face, but whatever — good for him.
