Older.

Older Prettier

Redder

Bigger Fatter

All tatted up like you've been somewhere

like you've "seen things"

big foreheads and big wrinkles

or that one forehead covered pristinely

with her bangs and her red lips and she

looks

so

old

but pretty

but old

but

why the hell you here.

He's speaking with an accent!

Get out of here

GO!

Is it that or your deep voice. Or his

bald head under his bowler hat

and her fluffy fancy outfits

lacey

noir

red lips.

Maybe they'll tell me how to say "Mommy wow"

and I'll see how you stole big kid from me now.

I'm the baby big kid

big kid baby

or just the

big baby kid

And you look huge

and you limbo

on my education

on my time

on my walk

on my voice

in

my place

me

Where are my babies.

Milliner Philip Treacy Designs Shoes for Valentino

my own

Francisco Garcia for me, Photography for you

This is one of his shots for the f/w 09 Talula campaign, modeled by Rachel at MUSE NYC.

I dig this style of shooting, which if you get a chance to see the rest of the shots , you might agree with me that it's very reminiscent of Juergen Teller. A little more demure (but then again I have yet to see the rest of Garcia's works hahah)

Besides that, I've been wanting one of those vests since a long time now. The hair is good and so is the quilted leather couch.

Pretty soon my co-conspirators and I at the UCLA Cultural Affairs Commission-Art Series will
