Weekender



This shot from the new Vogue Nippon makes me think of paintings of Ophelia drowning in the river (take a look at the Paul Steck/John Everett Millais/Elizabeth Siddall Rossetti/Odilon Redon versions...I am quite obsessed with artistic interpretations of literature!).

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I am staying in tonight to watch Quantum of Solace, and tomorrow I am going to London to see a french band called This is Pop at the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. If any of you guys are in Londres tomorrow night too then you should come on down! Should be a right ol' laugh.

Japan Vogue is the best. Every time I go get my haircut from this Japanese salon I grab all the vogues and selfishly take my time going through every page.

i also love artistic interpretations of literature, especially ophelia. i think she looks a bit too happy to be truly ophelia-esque, though. gorgeous picture anyway.
