double the inspiration...

IS that a cheesy title? On the verge of cheeky, but just kinda' cannon-balling into that realm of bad jokes/titles that are too stupid to be at all relevant?  Hmm..well, either way, it perfectly describes my spankin'-new book! Christmas present for meeee. Inspiration, by MK and Ashley Olsen.

So the firsty things first. Photography is killer. Love it. A lot of them are simple random Poloroids with idols such as Lagerfield, DvF, Margherita Missoni, Christian Louboutin, John Galliano, and of COURSE Peter Beard. Cool cool guy, that one.

Here's the low down on those pics up there. Blue room = How I wish my mind was. Clean, spacious, organized, color coded, perfectly accessorized. But I know that I would miss this unorganized, slightly dust-covered, rainbow-styled, crammed-to-the-brim thought process of mine. I really would. But NOW enter David Collins! I will continue to drool over this "interior architect's" work...love.

That red thing is so bomb! George Condo, in the service of visual awesome-ness. ..."his pieces are almost like dreams: Some of them incite fear, and some of them incite laughter." Now that's deep, congrats MK and A.

This Batman and Robin piece is genius, purely genius. Terry Richardson.

This picture of Little Red Riding Hood completely threw me back a few good years to my childhood...I read that book every day. I was utterly obsessed with the thought of a girl getting to delve into the forest by herself. She was the epitome of my moder-day girl hero. This shot was for Giambattista Valli's Fall 2008 collection where he asked, "What would happen if Little Red ate the wolf?" Good question indeed...

Ok - Some people give them flak for wearing...you know...some of the oddities that they do tend to don, but I LOVE IT. Not in a stalker-y, creepy-ish way, but I FEED off it. Ever since I was a complete youngster, eating cheese sammys with the crust cut off, I LOVED MaryKate and Ashley. Remember the classic, "Solve your crimes by dinnertime??" Yeah! That was my mantra in the days! I totally applaud them for trying new, fresh, different things. Even if their style can be straight off the runway, they're impressive and provoking. THAT is what fashion needs. Plus...I bought my first astronomically GIANT pair of sunnies thanks to them. I don't wear them because I look insect-like and I tend to run into walls and such, but I have them...and love them... that's all that matters. Meh meh meh.
