Did I ever mention how much I love books as art? Dan Essig is great among the book artists of the world. I have also recently discovered the work of Nicholas Jones. He is a self-proclaimed bibliopath, he takes old, discarded pages and transforms them into a new beauty through a process of folding and tearing that is pretty much breathtaking.
The fall breeze has been beautiful here today, but I want the cold to come so I can wear my newest, favouritest worthwhile acquisition: Rick Owens = love.
five simple pleasures, right now. Mine are clean bed sheets, when my sweetie makes me lunch, a hot shower on a cold day, fresh pasta, and a perfectly made cup of tea. Go share yours.
So, I've been on this hair kick lately and finally decided to go hack off my long locks. At the recommendation of a friend and a couple of reviews on Citysearch I went over to Adore. Can I just say: yes. Cool, laid back, and folks who really know their stuff. Brenton Anderson gave me a fantastic cut: he was clearly expert in his approach; he moved around my head with confidence and a certain sense of joy; like this is something he really loves doing with his life. So many stylists are so grotesquely surly or just plain unwilling to listen to your wants. I'll definitely be coming back. . .
