My Mom, The Style Icon

My Mom, The Style Icon is my new favorite site. They have pictures of stylish moms and remind us of what classic style is.


This pic is one of my favorites from the site. The author claims her interests are "Fedoras, Looking like a badass" and that she was "was alive when people knew how to pose for a picture."



I liked this pic too. They want to bring back lady head scarves, men who wear fedoras like it's their job "because they're fucking gondola drivers", and our own vintage childhood clothing. (I remember owning certain items as a child that I obsessed over like a pink dress with sheep on it, a giant ALF shirt, a pastel ruffly dress that my grandmother gave me, and this dress...)


Urban Outfitters is also having an original icon contest.

Call of the Wild

To create is to destroy.
Life is about getting up out of your chair and doing something. It is about doing nothing. Making a mess. Moving your hand and your body, leaving a mark. It is about doing. Action. Finishing. Experimenting. Trying something immersing. It is about absurdity. A creation. Evidence that you exist. Using materials. Destruction. It is about fun. Doing the opposite. Breaking the rules. It is about ideas. Getting dirty. Making mistakes. I’m going to ask you to make a mark and its going to be messy. Don’t worry about that. that’s the point.
[as seen on The Killing Moon]

The Parents by Kathe Kollwitz from here

Night came on, and a full moon rose high over the trees lighting the land till it lay bathed in ghostly day.
And the strain of the primitive remained alive and active.
Faithfulness and devotion, things born of fire and roof were his, yet he retained his wildness and wiliness.
And from the depths of the forest, a call still sounded.
[Jack London, "The Call of the Wild"]

I don't know where I'm going from here, 
but I promise it won't be boring.
