"Wild at Heart" - Vogue Germany, February 2010

Ethereral suburbia/Like a suave Lux Lisbon out of Jeffrey Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides

"Wisdom likes men who are reckless, scornful and violent; 
being a woman, her heart goes out to a soldier." 
-Zarathustra

"An artist worth his salt is permanently separated from ordinary reality."/"There is no feast without cruelty, as man's entire history attests. Punishment, too, has its festive features."/"All good things have at one time been considered evil; every original sin has, at some point, turned into an original virtue."

-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals

I can't stop thinking about spring - Theodora and Alexandra Richards/Anja Rubik/Balmain 2008 ready-to-wear/Daisy Lowe/Kate Moss/Roberto Cavalli 2008 ready-to-wear/Sartorialist sighting/Jen Brill/Etro 2008 ready-to-wear/shot at the Glastonbury festival/Martin Margiela 2008 ready-to-wear/Alexander Wang 2009 ready-to-wear/Agyness Deyn/Harley Viera-Newton

Hang on to your ego - Emmanuelle Alt gets Balmain right/Kate is most improperly British/Abbey Lee and Natasha Poly get silly for Steven Meisel/black and white, leather and fur is street simplicity/Sasha is an urban glamour rat

Dreaming of a fancy-free spring frolic - Lara Stone photographed by Willy Vanderperre in British Vogue, January 2010/gauzy florals and golden pigtails/pink lips and red nails/feels like a romp in the countryside

Fellini's women - Barbara Steele, Anouk Aimee, Anita Ekberg, Claudia Cardinale, Sandra Milo/symbols of seduction, torment, willfulness, distraction/when asked of her career goals, Steele said, "I want to fuck the world!"

Lita Ford - vintage, runaway rocker chick/metal, lingerie, spandex, and hair spray/it ain't no big thing...c'mon, pretty baby, kiss me deadly
