I spend so much time oohing and ahhing over new photog finds that I sometimes feel the need to give a shout out to those that made my obsession with photography...especially of the fashion variety begin... is by far one of the first fashion photogs that made me go ga ga with those Claudia Schiffer Guess adds back in the day...I thought they were the coolest fashion ads I had seen in a while when those came out! So I thought I would share a few of my current favs from the great Ms. Unwerth...
I have mentioned from time to time that pure laziness about preparing canvases is the main factor in my not painting more often...and well, I think that's kind of lame...so I have been trying to break that nasty habit and get a brush in my hand. I think though that the painting in this photo may just be the kick in the pants that I have needed...
The colors, the way the painting is used...even the circles...it all makes me want to get a fresh canvas on that monster sized ease taking up precious space in my studio...
As I love my dog an unhealthy amount, I have to share with everyone a random fact...Faye came to live with me 5 years ago this month...yay Faye! Above is little Faye when she first came to live at my house in November of 2003, when my friend Riann was visiting and we stole her from my mom...my mom still has Faye's mom Wiggles, her brother Redford and sister Camille. Her other litter mates, who are twins will actually be visiting my moms house this week end...but anyway...Faye and I have had a lovely 5 years together...and here we are today...
oh little Faye...
I love this photo, I wish I could crawl into it...

The November Open Studio has been moved from November 6th to November 13th! I apologize if you were planning on coming this week, but I cannot be here...hope to y'all on the 13th!
As I have been obsessed for so long with clothing and photography that nods to the 50's why not just show some of my favs from that actual time: ...Oh Swoon!
Interesting how all of the images I love the most feature ladies with coy poses...
There is so much to do today, but all enjoyable...orders have to made and sent out, the daily computer and internet work has to be done, I have to Vote and get my hair cut. I am hoping that Shanley and I can go for a long walk through the leaves with Faye. I need to do cardio and weights today. There is someone coming to my studio to shop later...oh and new jewelry HAS TO GET MADE today! So as I do all of that, you can enjoy some stunning photography...
I have no idea why, but I have become smitten with soft girly clothes...I think I actually always have been, but they are being created a great deal right now...which would make me happier if I ever could stop working and go shopping...I love the bottom photo the most...
We all dressed up at work...and here are most of us...
I finally figured out what to wear for Halloween...the wig is just because I love to wear it, I was covered is "Hello my name is" stickers with all different names...I was an identity crisis!
