In the line of fire, Part I: Professional Photos.

Mitrailler: transitive verb

1. to machine-gun;

2. ~ qn de questions to fire questions at sb;

3. (familiar) to take photo after photo of [somebody/something]

 Prepared to be machine-gunned (mitraillé) in the 1st and 3rd sense by a line of photos that have been hiding in my computer files for too long. Yes ladies and gents, this blog post is the no-man's-land of photo shots. Some you have seen rehashed through the blogger sphere. Some you haven't. File through them and save the ones you like. At least that's what I do. (Yeah, I know. I've had a gun/war theme lately. I guess I'm turning into the GUN CRAZY/ WAR MONGERING AMERICAN stereotype).


First, we have Sebastian Kim

 (oh how I heart Alison Mosshart: Girl Crush!)

(Oh how I heart Jenny Lewis! Troop Beverly Hills Anyone? {Girl Crush #2!})

Then, we have Wendy Bevan

 These photos remind me of Atonement (before the war, of course).

 Next, we have Miles Aldridge. Saturated color. Suggestive material. Parody of Suburbia. Fashionable Banality. Retro Throwback.  Pissed-off or numb housewives.The distressed, scorned woman in need of a savior. But can she be saved?

Oh how I love the theme of  unhappy Stepford/ Mrs. Robinson-esque housewives.Hmm...I wonder why?

 The ones above and below are my FAVS. Beautiful color schemes.

They really are endless amounts of Miles Aldridge jewels. You should just search yourself.

Lastly, we have Bruno Dayan. Magical. Lovely. Deep Hues. Sensual.

...To be continued. With Flickr photo gems (or bullets--to harp on the war analogy!)

What the what?

So, I was watching the David Letterman clip of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros:



Because Nashville musician Tyler James announced it on Facebook that he would be playing the keys for them for the next few months, and I love this band and this song.

Then, I noticed someone familiar. The character Katherine from the show Greek. She plays the hilarious uptight, president of Panhellenic council. And she plays the accordion for Edward Sharpe. What the what? I didn't expect those two worlds to cross.

  Her name is Nora Kirkpatrick. Hello. New Girl Crush! Congrats Nora! You are now added to my list, alongside kickin' gals like Tina Fey, Alison Mosshart, Kim Gordon and Kristin Chenoweth (to name a few).

Footnote:
Girl Crush definition from Urban Dictionary for all of you who have been living under a rock for the past decade:

 1) The admiraton one girl has for another. It could be to do with hair, body, make-up, car, clothes, career, talents etc. Completely non-sexual. Girl crushes are generally very short-lived, as girls move on very quickly from trends.

 or

2) feelings of admiration and adoration which a girl has for another girl, without wanting to shag said girl. a nonsexual attraction, usually based on veneration at some level.
