HAPPY NEW YEAR

To 2008.
I like that we've made at least some sentimentality out of the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.
It's nice that we can embrace change so festively.
Well...that's my two cents.
You can count on me to be amazingly drunk tomorrow night. Woo hoo.
Happy New Year everybody.
2009 holds great things.

I have a thing for raunchy photography.

If you haven't gotten your fill of mild pornography for the day, consider this my Christmas present to you.

Paleness

I've embraced my paleness over the past three years. Living in New York City will do that to you. There's no point in spending money and damaging your skin to look like you've been spending hours lying on the beach....in the middle of December. Anyways, I found this great ad campaign for John Galliano's new jewelry line and it's absolutely beautiful, mainly because of her milky white skin. It actually makes me wish I was more pale.

SPIKEY

So I finally put the pictures from my iPhone onto my computer today. Aren't you proud Abi? Anyways, I was looking through them and realized that I tend to take pictures of scary looking things that usually involve spikes. I don't know if this is just by coincedence or if I've just been in a spikey sort of mood lately, but I wanted to share them with the people that still read my blog (if there's anyone left).








Public Library in Boston








Brussel sprouts on the stalk











Mystery vegetable at the Greenmarket











The coolest railing I've ever seen surrounding the Capitol Building in Philadelphia












And these are shoes designed by Christian Louboutin for the Rodarte show at Fashion Week this past fall. They were highly criticized, but I love the gothicky spikes with the cobweb tights.

Moral of the story: Spikes = Beautiful
