After McQueen’s suicide this February, everyone wondered if the line would continue. It has. His assistant Sarah Burton, who worked with him for 14 years, created a great collection I think he would’ve approved of. This seemed more like a well-deserved tribute to McQueen, with the same type of prints and silhouettes we’ve seen in recent collections so, we’ll see what she comes up with next.
My favorite is this amazing pheasant feather dress:
Another etsy find, I would wear the hell out of this “peacock cocktail ring” from Alisa Miller. Metalsmith.
Love laser cutting and this “hive bench” by Arktura is powder coated steel and uses mathematical algorithms to create the intricate patterns. The same designer, Chris Kabatsi also did this “vortex table” made from carbon fiber. Science + design =wow
Fanciful episodes of Jim Henson’s The Storyteller (series 1) have been making me happy. I only wish there were more.

High cholesterol. It runs in my family and they have blessed me with it as well. Two weeks ago, I went for my annual physical and received a newish blood test that doesn’t assess the typical cholesterol numbers but instead looks for the carriers of the bad cholesterol, the carriers that take it to your arteries and clogs them up. This is a measurement of LDL-P and mine were off the charts! Other than being terrified , I have had to seriously reassess everything that I put in my body. It looks like this self-proclaimed “meataterian” is going to have to gear more towards veganism.
Everyone losing their mind over Alexander McQueen’s Paris S2010RTW runway show. Yes, it was accessible for anyone to view via webcast but does this warrant all the praise and hype? The prints on the dresses were absolutely stunning but the shapes were nothing to write home about and, I mean… seriously… the shoes?! Are you kidding me? I am not feeling this. (pics via)
these look like elephants to me
Alien vs. Predator anyone?
My laptop has been sent off to get repaired which means I will have limited access to work on posts, check my reader, or tweet for a while. While I kinda welcome the break, I don’t want to lose momentum or miss anything fun!
