Primary Rules

Tuesday, July 24, 2012

While her work is very respectable, I can't say I care much for American Vogue.  In this instance, I am more concerned about the amazing colour composition in this photograph, taken by Tommy Ton. Desperately trying to find out who that top is by.  Anyone?  This image reminded me of Marimekko prints for some reason.  

Let me not pretend that I've always known about them.  I had to phone Doreen to ask her what that print is on her dishcloths is, which she told me.  I then went on Wiki and found that the famous primary colour prints are by a Finnish company called Marimekko, founded in 1951.  You can google the rest for yourself, but before that, take pleasure in looking through these beautifully printed items from the website.  They do everything from clothing to ornaments in these prints. 






If I had all the time in the world, I would have downloaded the product from their website but it was way too slow.

Glad to see Mama B is joining the braid brigade.  I'm about to take mine out, kinda over the fringe at the moment.  I think I might just go this route but I don't think the cinnamon colour will work with my complexion so I'll just stick to black.  

HAPPY FRIDAY

THIS BREAD, I HAVE TO BREAK


This little dinner is going to cost me.  Unlike most people who think going to your high school reunion is a waste of time, I was actually looking forward to it.  Eversince I became obsessed with Romy and Michelle of Romy and Michelle's High School reunion, before I turned 12, I have been looking forward to going back to high school to see how things have changed or stayed the same.  I'm still going to go, but not for the whole three day affair, it's going to have to be a quick in and out of East London because I don't think I would forgive myself if I forfeited a chance to be a degree closer to the holy grail in human form himself, Tom Ford.  Ok ok, obviously he's not going to be in SA but at least I will get a chance to break bread with his people.  And more importantly, touch, feel and smell Tom Ford beauty products, which have been the epoch of beauty products since he launched Black Orchid a few years ago.  It's the stuff shallow little fashion dreams are made of!
