I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go I can’t do it alone I’ve tried
And I don’t know why
I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out
It’s bringing me down I know
I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
And try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

Just watched an interview with Anna Wintour where she talks about The Met’s Spring 2012 Costume Institute exhibition, Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.
And it was all going fine until she [Anna] started talking about Elsa Schiaparelli, and how talented a designer she was, and how…
“There’s an early episode of Star Trek, “Mudd’s Women”, that features three mysterious and beautiful women whose overpowering sexuality exerts a near-catastrophic effect on the helpless men of the Enterprise. A key moment occurs during the middle-third, when a frustrated Captain Kirk turns to Dr. McCoy, grasping for some sort of explanation: “What is it? Is it that we’re tired, and they’re beautiful?” asks Kirk, “They are incredibly beautiful.”
“Are they, Jim?” retorts McCoy, as Spock looks on approvingly, “Are they actually more lovely, pound for pound, measurement for measurement, than any other women you’ve known? Or is it that they just… well, act beautiful?”
By the end of the episode we discover that the women have no special power after all; their impact on men is the result of a kind of placebo effect. The women are conventionally attractive, but not extraordinarily so; they are perceived as goddesses simply because they are presented as goddesses. That, and liberal use of misty 1960s soft-focus technology.
McCoy’s words brought shape to a thought that had been scratching away in my subconscious mind since I first picked up a “lads’ mag” in my mid-teens; that once you strip away the poses, the make-up, the clothes, the presentation and expectation, there’s nothing objectively extraordinary about these women at all.”
With dad at Caffe Roma. On a crazy beautiful warm day. After awesome dim sum with rellies. Ahhhh.
Just the right mix of hard, soft and wild that’s me.
I saw this piece 2 years ago and have kept it in my phone ever since, and every time I lay eyes on it I fall in love all over again. Somehow, this image, described as manga slash pseudo-steampunk slash pop art speaks to me so clearly and deeply. I want this etched into my skin…
Thank you Camilla d’Errico, you’re a talent.

I haven’t been to Lombok yet given that prices to get there have only recently started heading south. I have heard good things about the place though and sooner, rather than later, it’s going to appear on my travel list.
