deja vu

oh, this isn't happiness is just a wonder of excellent, naughty, thought-provoking images...

a sample of today's favourites






it's may be mean, but this one reminded me of some of the "style" blogs. i've loved the design files for ages, but lately the plethora of wanton consumerism and shop-bought heavy style in people's homes is making me queasy. (especially when accompanied by thousands of shrieks, !!!, OMGs and tacky compliments. where's the grace?)
the interiors stink of money and aspirational lives.
and i don't want to be aspirational like that.
not any more, any way.
i like this one particularly because it says what i've been thinking for some time

people are using phones (and take away coffee) like they used to use ciggies - distraction, a prop for self-possession

feelings

this is how i felt on the tram this morning...

chenille-oves you (yeah, yeah... yeah)

i have a five year old girl's love for this stuff
this one looks like iced-vovos
(but is actually called, Raspberry and Pink Carnation Plush Loops, Swirls and Lines)
not sure how i could have got that so very wrong?
i found a a world of chenille, unhappily clipped into charming pieces that add up to nothing unless you buy lots of them, and stitch them back together again.
someone's been busy with the scissors and the cash-register, i think. some pieces are labelled "very rare" - perhaps because of the scissor/cash-regiser mentality?

nicer swatches here, in a book about louise bourgeois's fabric works

ffffalling through the rabbit hole

i love the ffffound site
you click on an image and it leads to thousands more
like falling down the rabbit hole & going through the looking glass all at the same time
