As a thank you to C for passing on some new clothes (a mail-order outfit sent the same order twice, and decided it would cost more to fix the mistake), our friend Leah gave her the present of a fabulous record purse, made by her own friend Sophie here in Kingston. Sophie's just started an Etsy shop here. The album sleeve for C's new purse is Blondie's Autoamerican, which is at least half right.
C is friends with the fashion stylist Rebekah Roy (left in both pics above) ... one of those people who personify calm and smiling success. On her blog she presents glamour in this very sincere, straightforward way ... whether she's taking pictures of people on the street , talking about stain removers , her favourite videos , or attending some glittering party . One minute she's ruminating on hair extensions, and in the next she reveals how she's been featured on the Vogue UK site. A real disarmer and charmer (and this without meeting her yet, although I feel like I know her because we both did our time in Winnipeg). * * * * * Coming home from Russia, we did many bad things. ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. In my own life, the glamour is wholly imagined. * * * * * witches, smoke ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. My second go at this one, and for some reason I'm painting a lot of smoke lately (note to self: tell C that I want to be cremated). *
First of all I love Blondie. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the purse- very 80's glam
I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's a better band than Blondie to be on a bag like that
ReplyDeleteI'd think Debbie Harry might have carried something like that herself
