While I was in Charlottesville visiting Sara this weekend, we made some delicious Cornish hens, and now all I want to do is cook Cornish hens. Beware oncoming flood of recipes.

Ladies! I’m no 7.5, but if I were you with those 7.5 size feet, I’d be jumping right into these. $28 is a steal! I have some that look just like ‘em but aren’t quite as lovely, and if my feets weren’t too big I’d trade ya.

You guys, I miss French people. Thanks for sending this, Sara.

The symbolism surrounding Lady Gaga is so blatant that one might wonder if it’s all a sick joke. Illuminati symbolism is becoming so clear that analyses like this one becomes a simple exercise of pointing out the obvious. Her whole persona (whether its an act or not) is a tribute to mind control, where being vacuous, incoherent and absent minded becomes a fashionable thing.

A great place to find new releases that offer free mp3s if you purchase the album on vinyl.

I went out of town for the weekend and had a lovely time in Charlottesville, VA, with a dear friend I met in Paris. While I was away, my friend Elliot (director of the Black Belt 100 Lenses project, which I’ve been helping with recently) went down to Selma. Some of the Gee’s Bend quilters were there, and this is what he managed to capture. Elliot’s always incredibly busy with the project, and often drives hundreds of miles in a single week in order to meet with students in the Black Belt counties of Alabama. He writes:
So, several times now, you have said, “I don’t see how you do it”…aside from superfoods and coffee, I’m not sure if I can provide an answer or response to your comment, but I can tell you why I do it. This morning I met with a group of 21 high schoolers from Wilcox county and we were also graced by the presence of a dozen Gee’s Bend quilters who had come to learn about the project. The attached audio file can speak more directly about the experience than I could…it was amazing and I wish you could have been there.

If I had $832.06 to spend on a beautiful bag, this would be the bag I’d spend it on. It would either make me feel like a pirate, or like a very Victorian high class lady about to set out on a great expedition.

More expensive leather Gladstone deliciousness. So good!

Ebay search of the day: Gladstone bag. I’ve been trolling around for one of these for a while. I keep finding them in terrible condition at antique shops. I saw one at a brocante in Paris that was 60€ during my last (very broke) week there. Eep!
I think I am developing an obsession with (a) leather, and (b) vintage luggage. It’s an unfortunate position to be in, since when you combine the two, things can become very expensive. That, and when combined it’s hard to find uses for as many pieces as I would like to collect. I already have more train/vanity cases than I will be able to put to good use.
I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. I recently lived and studied in Paris, France. This summer I lived in Brooklyn and worked at the Center for Book Arts. Now I'm back in Tuscaloosa, studying at the University of Alabama.
