The Issue

What did I find contorted into my teeny mailbox today?

Why, this weighty tome:

Vogue - September 2011 Issue

I think it weighs more than my dog...

Also reminded me how much I loved/love this documentary:

The September Issue

Of course, the real star of that movie for me is Grace Coddington, the creative director of Vogue, who has an artistic eye like no other and a straightforward, passionate attitude. Others scream at the sight of Daniel Radcliffe, or go weak in the knees when Scarlett Johansson passes them in the West Village, but when I stood next to Grace Coddington in a pet food store on W 23rd and she oohed and aahed over Bryndal, I thought my life story might have been told.

See you in September!

Bookish

This can't be in my hands fast enough:

Bossypants - Tina Fey

And if THIS and THESE were not reason enough for an additional bookshelf, the upcoming Penguin Threads collection is:

Penguin Threads Classics - Designed by Jillian Tamaki

The three editions will be available October 2011. Conveniently, right around my birthday. HINT HINT.

Quirk It Out

"'Quirky' is like a nice way of saying weird." -Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel - Lucky April 2011


As one who has been described as the above word frequently, I understand Zooey's statement. Perhaps too well. That's ok, I'd rather be nicely weird than normal.

P.S. This cover shot is making me really miss my bangs. I'm thinking I will imitate her style for my new cut (whenever that actually happens...).
