ode to the city...

as i stroll downtown...
as i roam the streets...
i keep searching for that familiar beat.

the heart of the city...
the pulse of this town...
i feel the excitement has somewhat died down.

the artists are elsewhere...
the masses moved in...
it seems that my city is less than it's been.

i stop in a cafe...
to seek some relief...
and am somewhat surprised by the strength of my grief.

my city is changing...
that's certainly clear...
and it all makes me ponder - what's left for me here?

so i take a step back...
and i look all around...
and its clear - she's the best city i've ever found.

i *heart* ny...

the classics...

short duffle coat by victim

the duffle / toggle coat

do you have one?
i always see them pop up now and again at places like jcrew and apc...
and even though i am drawn to them....
i have never actually even tried one on...

i think it's time..
while everyone else is buying a camel coat this fall, i am going to invest in a different, but equally classic look...
IF -- i can find the right one...

will you let me know if you see a good one pls?

thank you!

pouf...

comme des garcons f/w 2010 paris

i know that these pieces are all padded...
but i like to imagine that they are inflatable instead...

like a life jacket...
just pull the cord...and POUF!...
suddenly you have a puffy jkt...
or a puffy dress...
etc...

so...
you could wear the pieces without the puffiness...
but as the situation calls for it...
you could pull the cord...

for example -
during a plane crash...?

OR...

if you just wanted a little more room on the subway during rush hour...

*POUF!...

long live mcQueen...

Who wants to live forever?
by Queen (rip Freddie Mercury)

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
from us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?
