tales of brave ulysees

you thought the laden winter would bring you down forever

but you road upon a steamer to the violence of the sun

and how the colors of the sea bind your eyes with trembling mermaids

and you touch the distant beaches with the tales of brave ulysees

how his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing

and when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body

carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind

the tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers

and you want to take her with you through the hard land of the winter

her name is aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell

and you know you cannot leave her for you've touched the distant sands

by the sirens sweetly singing.

think this magazine is pretty cool, editorials aren't fancy but certainly stick with you, esp with photographer maciek kobielski taking the photos and lily donaldson posing

Daytripping with Bruno Dayan

so sorry posts have been lacking, i've recently had some wisdom pulled out of my mouth. while spending most of my days in bed, i did happen to come across a french sartorial photographer, bruno dayan. based out of paris, his intricate use of lighting and tones of latent sexuality have become two main elements that have shaped the direction of his work. if you ask me, his work is anything but latent.

the late isabella blow and philip treacy have really revolutionized what modern headgear  is. not sure whose work of art is draping edita in the first picture, but it looks absolutely weightless and strong at the same time.

NEMO, WHERE YOU GETTING THOSE KICKS FROM, HAVE YOU BEEN DY-EN THEM?
birds, ok was gonna make this another fashion post but c'mon do we need another? anyway i was at barnes n'nobles the other day, while my friend was reading about the great cat massacre of the 1800s-really cat massacre- i decided to do a drive-by in the animal section-which by the way is like only one wall..wtf b&n? lets just say that 2 hours later me and birds specifically of the tropical hemisphere have become acquainted.

and now for the interesting shit portion of the post:
named after the spanish name bobo, meaning "stupid or fool" these boobies got their name for being so darn clumsy on land, probably always drunk as a result of their year round mirage habitat. you can see them chillin on the galapagos islands, or in ecuador. and as if their lives aren't interesting enough, they have excellent binocular vision for checking out the hunnies on the shore. also from the picture we can see that they are very flexible- i wanna see u be able to touch ur nose to your stomach. males and females can be distinguished by the color of their kicks, pale turquoise-more generally seen on the gents, and flashy deep aquamarine on the ladies- how fitting.
