showcase showdown

i have wanted to post but don't feel like i have much to say, so like lesley, i am posting the last five pictures i have in my phone.

it is not a good sign when my thighs have almost completely rubbed through denim, the same fabric that was used to protect the skin of coal miners and factory workers.

 a view from one of the showrooms i visited in nyc this week

 evidence that the fashion industry is not kept buoyant by creative people but by dudes like this. i sat next to this guy on the flight back to dallas, he is the director of store planning for an extremely big and extremely old parisian fashion house. let this be a lesson to anyone who wants to major in fashion merchandising.

it's not weird

 half of the time when em is quiet, she is playing with her stuffed animals or reading books. the other half, she is naked, sticking markers in her belly button
