I am not yet a woman of a certain age (or maybe I am – what is a certain age?) but I am in a transition time where I recognize that some of my wardrobe is maybe too youthful. I want to start making more classic and mature selections for my wardrobe. Penelope Tree is an inspiration in this regard. She seems youthful in her attitude but her wardrobe is sophisticated and mature. I want to strike that balance.
sound and silence
Last night I went to a middle school music performance. There was one performance that stood out for me. The students made music with paper. The lights were turned off and a a black light was turned on. The kids were seated on stage like in an orchestra. Slowly they raised pieces of paper over their heads. Some kids tapped at the hanging paper. Some kids tore the paper. On cue some of them crumpled the paper and put it under their shoe and rubbed it against the floor. I really enjoyed that performance. It moved me. It reminded me of John Cage “4.33″

Ulyana Sergeenko
I have a major style crush on Russian fashion designer and photographer Ulyana Sergeenko. Her Spring/Summer 2012 collection is a must see.

Strawbery Banke Museum – Thread Exhibition
I was invited to a special preview of the Thread Exhibition at the Strawbery Banke Musuem. Wow! It really takes you on a trip. The lighting, the colors, the placement of all the items in the rooms allow you to really imagine life in those houses. Look at the room above. See how the light pours in onto the floor. I can imagine the lady of the house just stepped out to shake the dirt off the bottom of her dress. She’ll be back in a minute. Have a seat. And look at the dress above. I can easily imagine the lady who wore it. I anticipate that she will raise her arm and put her hand on the back of that chair. The door behind her is ajar. Who is in the other room? Maybe a handsome gentleman.
See what I mean? – It’s a trip. I have many more pictures to share. I will share more over the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
