SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!

SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
11.26.09

This is some vintage Craig (and technically not even a self portrait).
HOWEVER, this is SO APPROPRIATE because it's me at the age of seven or eight on Thanksgiving at my aunt's house.

And I'm hugging her pet turkey!

SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY! 11.26.09

Isn't that wild?!
Who the hell has a pet turkey?

My aunt had a female one, too, but they're smaller.
She also had TONS of other birds at her ranch house including peacocks, chickens, macaws, parrots, guineafowls, etc.

I hope you all have a good Thanksgiving.
I'm spending this holiday with Ben J.'s family in D.C., where they have two lovely Boston Terriers. =)

(While in the area, we'll also be visiting the Baltimore Aquarium and the textile museum in D.C.)

Eat up!

smiling mushrooms

Last night, while eating Habibi's cooking, she recounted the following adventure she had when buying mushrooms for this dish she made.

I bought this same mushroom, one very, very cheap from Don Quijote, the other expensive from this market here. I thought, "why one cheap, one expensive?" then I came home I opened the package, one mushroom looks like this (she sits up straight and makes a big happy smiling face) the other one look like this (scrunches up her face and slouches over)."

I couldn't stop laughing. I've never seen a smiling mushroom. Except on Super Mario.

*****

I finally took back some of the dresses NPF returned to me (well, left in a corner on the floor for me to take home without ever saying a word of thank you or even telling me she brought them back for me). Oh my GOD, they smelled bad. So, so, bad.

I really like the Frank Sinatra "NEW YORK" part of this song.

YOU'LL SEE

We decided the other day that watching this (Martin) Margiela show doesn't get old.
(Plus, they're playing an oldie-but-goodie.)

The silhouettes are very interesting, and the colors are great. It's all inspiring.

My only complaint is that the clothing looks too European---if that makes sense.
I can't explain it.

sun

Last night Electra said,

"I suntanned this morning."

By the way, it's winter here in Tokyo. I asked her what the hell she was talking about, it's freezing ass cold every morning, I know because I have to go out in it to catch the train for work. She said "no, it was warm around 11:00." Obviously our ideas of what "morning" is differ.

"You know we don't get sun, so it's good for us to sit out in it whenever we can."

I thought, you know what, she's right. So I sat out on my balcony just now. It was nice and sunny, if a little cold. Except I kept feeling like the people in the apartment across the way were staring at me. The building has reflective windows so who knows what's going on inside.

Then Baldy called me, and we're doing our regular Saturday routine of meeting up at the Starbucks and talking shit until one of us has to do something.

Seeya.

I almost wasn't going to take a self portrait today because I was so wrapped up in what I was working on.
But when I found myself getting v. stressed out by my project, I realized I needed a break.

This was the perfect distraction.

I love sitting out in the hallway of my studio because I like to look out at the birds and the water and such.
For at least five minutes or so.
