A Single Man is a beautiful film. In every respect.
The cinematography is achingly picturesque. Paul mentioned that it was described as “looking like a perfume commercial in every shot,” but that description rings a bit too pejorative for me.
In any case, every scene is beautiful. And the clothing is sublime. Colin Firth’s suits fit him [...]

Quite possibly the best photo I’ve seen of the largely candidly-uncapturable Anna Wintour, taken by (Canadian!) Tommy Ton:
Also, on a somewhat related note, The September Issue is now out on DVD. Despite my lack of love for it, I feel compelled to buy a copy.
Also also, I find it funny/interesting when more than one fashion blogger [...]

“Alexander McQueen died,” read the full body of the text I received from my friend Cole last Thursday morning.
Since I was off the grid (at work, without internet access), I couldn’t even investigate further and just had to await her replies to my questions: “What?! No way. That’s tragic. How?”
“Suicide. I’m sending you the link [...]

I’ve never really had an appreciation for Vanessa Bruno or Lou Doillon before, but this video is one of the best presentations of a collection that I have ever seen. The direction, by Stéphanie Di Giusto, is brilliant, as is the cinematography, and Doillon’s airy, carefree movements mesh perfectly with Gonzales’ music, all of which [...]

I am uninspired.
Just like this month’s cover of American Vogue.
My excuse is a bruised tailbone; I wonder what theirs is.

What do you wear to a protest?
I’m going to a protest today.
It doesn’t matter what you wear to a protest.
End post.

I saw this gentleman while in Cosenza, Calabria, Italy, where I had the pleasure to stay last May for just over a week while part of a performance exchange.
There was just something captivating about his dapper dress and collected composure; I had to get a shot of him — under the pretense of my friend [...]

I recently bought a Vancouver 2010 Olympics t-shirt from the Bay. But I do not really support the Olympics. Hmmm.
I also frequently buy clothing that I suspect is too cheap to have been equitably produced. And clothing from stores that have run into trouble and garnered bad publicity for their supposed use of “sweatshop” factories. [...]

I don’t like shopping.
Well, that’s a lie. But I’ve discovered that I don’t like shopping for specific items. It becomes too much like a task.
When I was shopping for new winter boots (an enterprise which — not surprisingly — failed, by the way), I came to this not-so-stunning realization.
What happens with targeted shopping is just [...]

Nobody really knows where Boxing Day came from. Or so it appears, according to my research (just call me Dorothy Ann).
The holiday has British origins, and religious roots in St. Stephen’s Day, and that is all that seems certain.
A prominent theory states that  Boxing Day was traditionally the day for people to give gifts to [...]
