Happy New Year!

Settlers of the Tate house...

Game night in Idyllwild, I get the rare joy to visit with people I usually only see online... and look at these beautiful people;
        
                                    The Game;

Pretty Sarah;

John                                                                   &                                               Lisa

I couldn't get any good shots of Josh, but I did get the castle he was building...

Yea, I like these people.

Gross cake

Oh nasty store cake.

People eat you on birthdays...

but then you still look like this three weeks later.

The past in abstract.

Anyone want to guess what I was taking photos of?

Sewing terms

Dear everyone in the world,
I've got a couple of semantic details I'd like to clear up;
There is no way yet invented to fully automate sewing clothing.  This means that absolutely everything that you wear was HAND MADE.

If you have something that was made for you, unless it was made by a member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, it is Custom Made, not 'Haute Couture'.

Saying that something is 'Couture' is implying that it is Haute Couture, but the term has been bastardized so much that Websters will now allow the use of 'couture' to mean custom made.

k... that's all, thanks so much.

Love Al'xae

Christmas Music

The one thing I really need... to get through the Christmas season, off tune, insincere "I just made this Christmas album because my agent said I should" crap ... are my headphones. 

This is what I am playing to drown out the Jingle Bells. 




I am enthralled with Gogol Bordello.
