Spectacles
I've been a loyal La Font wearer since my second pair of eyeglasses (possibly my first -- I can't remember). I'm now on my third and sporting the Issy & La Philippine in Pink:
La Fonts are high quality frames. My favorite thing about them is that the interiors are patterned. Despite my career in photo research, I can't find a picture. Use your imagination. The point is, they're awesome. And while I adore my specs, having the same thing on your face every day for six years can grow tiresome. I mean, come on. People were still wearing flared jeans when I got those. So I'm in the market for a new pair.
To keep things affordable, I want to go vintage (or NOS). A trip to Fabulous Fanny's is on the agenda. In the meantime I've been eying (yes, pun intended) some potential style candidates on Etsy. Let's consider this an inspiration board. Opinions welcome!

No Thanks, I'm Stuffed
Indulging my predilection for 19th-century pseudoscience, I dropped by the Secret Science Club's annual Taxidermy Contest last night. Mike Zohn spoke and mentioned this book:
A 19t-c independent lady taxidermist? Definitely next on my reading list!! Slash my new personal hero!
Here's a stereocard (another one of my favorite things!!) of Ms. Maxwell at her exhibition. She killed and mounted the pieces herself, and even slept among them in the cave!
She even has a screech owl named after her.
I kind of wish I could be retroactively reincarnated as her neighbor.
Sigh...

Strangers off a Train
High speed camera, moving at high speed. SO PRETTY.

This reminds me a little of one of my favorite bodies of work:
RFK Funeral Train by Paul Fusco
...as well as the moment in teen comedies when the viewer is introduced to the hottest girl in school.
