Stylin'

My clothes were used in a recent editorial for New Zealand based Remix magazine. Styling by my friend Weave.

Love the whole look of the shoot. Beautiful photos, great styling (Thanks Weave!) and the guys are pretty handsome too.

It's funny- but not surprising- that my clothes look completely different than when I am not wearing them. Also, I don't wear my clothes like this- all bear chest and beads. I can be more objective and just sit back and appreciate them. I don't really do that very often, if at all. Here's to more of that in the future!

How do you 'step away' from what you have created? Seeing it in someone else's home? Looking at photos of it? Just curious.

Pack Holiday

No phone signal, limited internet connection and no cable T.V. No gourmet bread shop. No designer pastries and cool cafes. No one-thousand things to do. No rushing about shopping, spending, socializing or fighting through crowds. No planes overhead, trucks and car horns. No laundry duty and cleaning house.

'Pack' holiday. South Coast, New South Wales. Culburra. ('Four winds' in indigenous speak) 

Surrounded by ocean on one side, a river and lagoon on the others. 

 Our new rescue dog, 'Little Dog'(Bruce)swam every day.

 'Big Dog', yours truly, took photos of the sunrise most days.

 More swimming.

 More sunrises.

 Mum Dog and Big Dog got out for lunch in the local restaurant The Butter Factory.

 Afternoon snoozing for the whole pack.

 One more day to go before the pack returns to the big smoke.

What is the rest of the world doing?

Leather Work Week

I love leather- the smell, the feel, the durability and the look.

The biker and fetish connotations help the romance.

It's easy to cut and shape.

It is considered a sustainable material by some because of its long life and the fact it is a by-product.

Even better when you use reclaimed leather like all theses pieces here.
