As excited as I am about Burtons Alice In Wonderland…I’ll admit I am a bit more thrilled that Spike Jonze is bringing Where The Wild Things Are to life…I LOVED this book, in fact I still have my well worn copy from childhood (I was a bibliophile from day one…an anti social tot who started reading in nursery school) and only have to wait until October to see it!
As a cgr graduate and a longtime fan of both Alice in Wonderland and Tim Burton, I am pretty intrigued to see this film…and these photos have me chomping at the bit…
I recently have had the patience of a mosquito…so the wait until March is going to be absolute torture…
I have no idea what it is about them, but shots of alleys, paths, roads and anything else with a similar orientation just rock my world..I’m an odd bird, I realize this…so here is my favorite image today that captures this element…

I received word today that the Arabella Venus In Furs Necklace is in the July 2009 Redbook Magazine!!!
I actually really like this as a headband, nice stylin’ ladies!
When I saw the Psycho Candy Lingerie 2009 Campaign I was instantly jealous that I had not thought to use that name first…its fantastic…and oh so perfect for me…
I bought this photo from honeytree on Etsy a few weeks ago and am so smitten that I have kept it in my studio so I can gaze at it when I work…
I adore where I live and would never move to France, but if I did, I would want to live on a street with pink lanterns.

I am going to be redoing the shopping cart system of Manic Trout in August…why have I selected August you ask? Well…to be truthful its going to be a HUGE job that I have already began prepping for and as August is the slowest month of online shopping AND I have 2 weeks paid vay cay from the day job that month, that seals the deal…yes I am planning to work extra hard durning my vacation…ah yes, the life of a workaholic…
So I need your help by you letting me know what you want when you shop at Manic Trout. I do have many fantastic and logical ideas already lined up and my favorite author on the science of shopping…Paco Underhill, has updated his fabulous book for the internet and the new addition will arrive soon, yay! (I just admitted to such a level of dorkness…I realize that)…but I want to know what you…my wonderful and loyal customers want so I can make those wants come true.
So what would tickle your fancy…recommended items to match what you put in your shopping bag? More categories such as “Critters” or “Vintage”? The ability to search?
Please bring it on…your advice and thoughts will make your Manic Trout Experience the best that it can be!
Thank You!
I am proud to say that I did not try on one bikini this year in a dressing room with poor lighting and sad mirrors…I used a technique my mother taught me years ago…order a whole bunch online, try them on in your own home a few times and return all of the duds…stress free shopping every time!
Here is some inspiration from V Mag’s summer shoot…
Every summer I say I’ll make the trip but for the past few summers I have been just too busy to make it… but this August, when all is dead in cyber world and the restaurant is closed for two weeks, I will make the time to trek to NH and visit my dad…which means I will sleep at the family camp by a beautiful lake where loons breed and trees win and life is always good…
