Matthew and I manage JV softball so we were at a tournament out in this cute little hick town outside Fort Worth for about 87 years or so. We took a picture together, I'll put it up once Miranda uploads her pictures to facebook. I love Matthew, he's like the Golden Retriever puppy I always wanted haha

SO

That aside. I found this photo site off of Polyvore called fishup.ru. I honestly have no idea what it's about. I'm hoping it's sort of like a cooler version of Photobucket or whatever (watch me be totally wrong about that) and that's the link to the English version of the site but DAMN- They mixed in some Russian, Slavic, Polish or whatever it was originally written with into EVERYTHING. I couldn't even register for a free trial to see what it was like despite some English. But whatever. Just take the tour and look at the amazingness or just be lame like me and go onto the section on Polyvore and save pictures for an Inspiration folder. I'm going to share some finds with you. 

FIRST I SAW THIS:

Yes. That is Linda Evangelista in Simpson form

walking alongside Marge&Co. in the streets of Paris in what I think is an issue of Glamour from 2000 (according to Polyvore, though the fonts could easily be from Harpers). It was a like an Elle celebrity spread- the ones featuring the celebrity along with their favorite designers in a setting echoing the designer's aesthetic based on that celebrity. IT WAS AMAZING. I'm posting the entire spread. 

And as if that wasn't amazing enough- I found these:

They're by (who I am assuming is  Japanese) an artist named Miyuki Ohashi. They're so flirty and sensual looking. The lines are all mussy and blurred which just reminds me of bedhead and the flushed faces of the women in the works just enhances the sexiness of them. Honestly- I would want to buy these beautiful paintings and put them up in my room, they're so flirty and sweet. They remind me of SATC almost. I'm mentally noting this guy and looking up more of his work. Maybe I'll put it up later?

Anyways GO TO FISHUP.RU and look at what they have. They will give you a free tour of the site and while I was doing that I not only found these but I also found a series of fisherman's photos which were so wonderfully bizarre I can't explain them. The colors were blinding and reminded me of a Koi pond- all the orange safety equipment clashing with the dazzling dark blue of the water, it was so thrilling to look at. Haha

Speaking of Koi, Anne did a photo shoot with me for her Advanced Placement Photography portfolio over light. She made me do my makeup like a Harajuku girl on acid for the photo over a dazzling white background hit with spotlights. 

I'll explain more later, maybe tomorrow. 

Anyways I'm going to go listen to Jamiroquai and The Cold War Kids and do my English project and finish up reading about World War I. 

Peace et all,

Merna
